Candy Apple lips with Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter!

I have a strange love-hate relationship with drugstore lipsticks.  Sometimes they're just so drying and sometimes you stumble upon a really fantastic one.  Well, add this Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter to the love list!

The amazingly talented Muse from Musings of a Muse sent this to me when I won the Forsaken Shimmering Body Veil in her giveaway.  I'm glad she did because I'm not sure this is something I would've picked up for myself.

This lip butter provides very light coverage but I wouldn't say it's sheer.  The color is really beautiful - don't let the red bullet intimidate you.

This comes across as a really nice orangey-red flush on lips.  It's shiny and balm-like.  Seriously, my lips feels really hydrated when I wear this and the wear-time is really great - about 5 hours.

I'm so glad the Muse sent this to me because I totally would have passed this one over but it's now one of my favorites!  

I detect a slight fruit-punch scent but no taste.  The scent fades fairly quickly.

I'm going to say that you need this!  Seriously, it's awesome!  If this color isn't your thing, at least check out the other shades in this formula.

You can purchase HERE for $7.49.

Yummy caramel balm hydrates lips with TokyoMilk

First things first - yesterday I went for my follow-up visit to the dermatologist and he told me that the biopsy of the mole they removed was benign.  Yay!  Sunscreen is my friend!

This is my mother's African violet.  It's so pretty that I couldn't resist taking a picture with it!

Anyway, today I'm bringing you a look at a delicious lip balm.  I first saw these wonderful tins on Scrangie's blog HERE.  Let me just say that I'm not a huge lip balm fan and never have been.  I just feel like they're too slippy, greasy, and not hydrating. 

This is the exception to my experience!  These TokyoMilk Dark lip balms are such creative scents/flavors and I just couldn't miss out on the Salted Caramel flavor!

You can purchase HERE.  The tins are $7 each and contain a respectable 0.7 oz of product.  The flavors include Salted Caramel, Clove Cigarette, La Vie En Rose, Coco Noir, Absinthe, and Cherry Bourbon.  Yum, yum, yum!

This smells so freaking amazing.  I adore caramel and salted caramel is the ultimate decadent treat!  I just had to have this.  Fortunately, the caramel smell isn't sickly sweet or obnoxiously artificial.  It's so natural - like walking into a gourmet candy store and picking up a salted caramel.  There's a slight candy corn smell to it and it tastes lightly sweet.

What don't I like about this?  Well, I dislike that the first ingredient is petroleum - basically Vaseline.  However, for $7 and a decadent smell, I can hang with it.  Secondly, I hate that it's a pot because I don't like sticking my fingers in the jar.  Eww, germs.  Lastly, the green band must be either removed or cut along the opening.  I chose to cut along the line so I could keep the cute bee!

I can see this being a problem because I'm sure it'll pick up the lint, dirt, detritus, etc. from my purse.  Either way, I'll keep it there until it becomes gross and then I'll remove it.

Do you need this?  Well, do you like caramel?  If yes, you MUST have it.  The formula is silky smooth and hydrating.  It doesn't slip and slide on lips; nor does it just migrate to the edges of my lips. 

XOXO

Maybelline has a great deal for Great Lash lovers!

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara is a cult favorite that people tend to adore or hate.  And let's be clear:  I LOVE IT.  I think Great Lash has amazing, inky-black coverage that lasts and lasts.  I'll say that it's better for length and definition than volume.  Unfortunately, it's hard to get both in a mascara.


Also, hasn't every single American girl owned a tube of this at one point in our lives?  Yes.

Anyway, Maybelline is having a MAJOR deal right now which I spotted at Wal-Mart.  Not only do you get Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes, you also get Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Balm!  I have no idea if you can purchase it elsewhere but you might want to try.  I got mine for $5.79

(I'm sorry, but mascara ads are getting ridiculous.  If you had that many eyelashes, your eyelids would hurt.  Just saying.)

Let's break it down:  A tube of Baby Lips is $3.99 and a tube of Great Lash is $6.40.  That's $10.49 for both products and I got it for $5.79!  I might not have picked up the Baby Lips on its own but since I'm always needing a tube of Great Lash, it was a remarkable deal!  I may even go back and pick up a few more...

Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Punch

I've heard tons of raves for Baby Lips and the general consensus is that it's very moisturizing.  The pack I got had Baby Lips Pink Punch.  The other option looks too mauve and the other one looked completely color-less.

Unfortunately, I wish I had picked a color-less one.  Pink Punch doesn't look right on me.  It's too "mod" and I dislike it.  The slippy balm texture would be nice to put on before bed to moisturize but I'm afraid it'll stain my pillowcases.  ~Sigh~  I may have to gift this one since I really consider that I got it for "free."

Of course I'm thrilled with Great Lash Very Black and I have to say that the Lots of Lashes brush is fabulous.  This is the same formula, just a different brush.  The shape is really good for lifting and separating - brilliant!

Yes, I think I'm going to need to go grab a few more.  This is a HG mascara and who doesn't want to stock up when they're on the cheap?!

Do you love Great Lash?  Hate it?  Any experience with Baby Lips?  Do tell!
