Reviews

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipsticks 

Pros: Very opaque and pigmented. Affordable, it cost $1.99 at my local Shopko.  
Cons: They don't last long, reapplying is needed. The packaging is bad.
They can be drying for the lips.

Flower Beauty Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Color

Pros: Great color pay off. Very affordable considering that it's a line from Drew Barrymore $6.98.
Cons: It's a little drying for me personally. Maybe because it's Matte/Velvet.

Lush Skincare: Let The Good Times Roll, Enchanted Eye Cream and Breath of Fresh Air


Let The Good Times Roll Facial Cleanser

Description:

Gently exfoliating polenta cleanser

"A luxuriously soft and sweetly-scented cleanser, Let The Good Times Roll has quickly become a huge fan favorite. Maize flour, corn meal and a dash of cinnamon powder gently exfoliate and leave you with a vibrant glow, and lightly hydrating corn oil helps skin to retain its moisture and elasticity. With its rich butter-caramel fragrance and velvety texture, no wonder this one is so popular!"

My description:
It's not a cleanser, its a gentle scrub.
There's strong sweet caramelized popcorn smell. At first I didn't like it but now that I'm used to it. 

How I use it:
I use this after my cleanser. I focus this scrub on my nose (black head area). I've noticed that it made my pores smaller. 

My thoughts:
Even though it's a gentle exfoliator I don't think any scrubs should be used daily. After using this scrub I notice my skin to feel very soft and glowing. I do like this product and recommend it.

Enchanted Eye Cream

Description:

Tighten fine lines with lavender and honey

"The skin under your eyes is extremely delicate. Forget about pal-kt peptides or Q10 complexes; only the gentlest natural ingredients should be used to keep the skin firm and supple. Enchanted Eye Cream is a gentle, soothing blend to minimize fine lines. We mix calming lavender honey water to reduce swelling with cold pressed almond and jojoba oils to moisturize and honey for that “just awoke from a full nights beauty sleep” look. Gently dab on with your little finger, following the line of your cheek bone up towards your brow bone."
My description:
Very thin, light cream.
How I use it:
I use this after my toner. I take a small amount and apply under my eyes.
My thoughtsI like this eye cream, it takes away dark eye bags. It does moisturize but since its thin and not thick I feel like it doesn't moisturize as well as what I would like. Overall I'm impress with this eye cream.

Breath of Fresh Air

Description:

Soothing seawater spray

"Give your skin a new lease on life with a blend of ingredients inspired by the sea. Breath of Fresh Air is suitable for all skin types, but is particularly beneficial for faces that have been ravaged by the elements. A gentle spray refreshes you when you need it most and brings all the nutrients of the sea directly to your skin. Fresh seawater gently cleanses, while carrageen (seaweed) extract softens and provides essential vitamins and minerals. And all the while, rose absolute and aloe vera are soothing dry areas."
My description:
Refreshing!!!! It has a nice smell.
How I use it:
I spray this on my face after using the scrub. It's definitely a breath of fresh air. I love this toner and will keep repurchasing. Tip: If you can't spray your whole face, Spray the center and use your fingers to spread the product all over and let it sink into your skin.
