Lip Balm Loves and Hates

So if you didn't know.. I'm obsessed with lip balms. So obsessed that I have about 20 different tubes (which is a lot for me). I wanted to do this post today to quickly tell you what lip balms I'm currently loving as well as the ones that are just really bad. (This is not an in-depth review, those will be coming soon! :D) The lip balm that I have been really really loving is the Nivea lip balm in A Kiss of Milk and Honey. I also really like my Crazy Rumors lip balm in Mocha, and my Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched. The lip balm ( or butter) that I absolutely hate is the Yes to Carrots C Me Smile lip butter in Berry. I don't know if it's just the tube that I own, the actual formula, or my lips being allergic to the product, but it just dries my lips so much that it becomes very irritating. I will be doing more in depth reviews of all the lip balms I own soon, so be on the lookout for those posts! Thanks for reading! :)

Mini Haul + Free Sample!

Today, I wanted to do a post showing you what I recently picked up at the drugstore as well as my first impressions. I went to CVS to pick up a Neutrogena moisturizer because they were on sale for $9.99 . Originally, I was going to pick up one with a pump, but since they were sold out of the spf 15 moisturizer in the bottle form, I decided I would just get it in the tub form. My first impressions : I really like Neutrogena's simple packaging; no frills but still looks nice. Also, I noticed that the product is NOT thick at all. It's sort of like a lotion consistency, but just a tad thicker. There is no fragrance to it which is nice, and as I said, there's sunscreen! As I was checking out, I noticed a stack of samples of the Nuance by Salma Hayek Raw Honey Shampoo and Conditioner, so I picked one up. Attached to it on the 3rd tri-fold is a $2 off coupon, which I will definitely be using in the near future. :) I also decided to throw in a picture of the free Nivea Soft moisturizing creme that my mom got. There was some coupon that CVS was offering, so I persuaded her to use it and get it for me - hehe! :P That's it for this post...I may do a review on all 3 products soon, but I have yet to use them, and I have so many ideas for new posts! Let's hope I can keep up this one blog post a day thing, because I have so many product reviews and favorites to share! See you guys in my next post! :D

Update + Mini Haul

So I know I've been absent lately...but that just means I now have more ideas for blog posts :) :) :)
Just wanted to post a quick little update as well as show you something exciting I received in the mail.
So first, my cousin bought a 1 year subscription to Seventeen magazine for me!!! I'm so excited to get my first issue!!! Lol... Also, I went to CVS the other day and picked up another EOS lip balm in Lemon Drop, 2 Nivea lip balms; Kiss of Cherry and Kiss of Moisture, and a 3 pack of the Blistex lip balms. I will most likely be reviewing these soon because I am OBSESSED with lip balm... no joke. :) I'm thinking about doing reviews on all the lip balms I won...we'll see about that =P

The exciting thing that I received in the mail was...a Nars tinted moisturizer sample!!! Yes, I managed to get my hands on one :) The color that I got was medium, because light looked way too pale for me. I haven't tried it yet, but I did test it on a small patch of my face to see if my skin would break out, and so far, so good! (This is the first time I have ever tried a tinted moisturizer - have never tried a foundation either and don't plan to until I get a bit older as I don't want my skin to get used to that stuff this early :P) Along with the sample, they included a small little pamphlet (with GORGEOUS pictures!) describing the product on one page, pictures of models wearing the product, as well as swatches for all 9 shades. Hope you enjoyed this random, rambly post!
