Mint Julips

    My birthday was a month ago, so this was one of my presents that I got from my mother. Its the Lush Mint Julips lip scrub. The smell is a mixture of chocolate and mint, which I think is the most amazing smell ever. Like if I could only pick one fragrance it would be a tie between this and my Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake shower gel. This lip scrub is great  for exfoliating your lips when its dry, peeling or when it feels dull. When you rub it on it actually melts after a few seconds of rubbing and it might get in your mouth but it wont harm you at all, its just oils/sugar/and flavoring. It also comes in sweet and bubblegum flavors which I feel doesn't smell good at all. And I wouldn't recommend to scrub your lips every minute of the day, because you are removing dead skin, and I don't think you would want raw lips.

Pros: Smell, texture, non poisoning, medium size jar, exfoliates, softens my lips.

Cons: Sticky sometimes, melts a little bit around the rims.

Overall: I love this, and I will defiantly be buying it again! 4.5-5

'So Fresh, Fresh Exciting...'

      lol as you can see from the title, I love myself some Michael Jackson. But onto my nails, last week I wore China Glazes Re-Fresh Mint. *Sorry about the pictures being blurry, Im trying to save up for a new camera*

       I love this color so much, its the perfect pastel green and if you have a tan from the summer or if your naturally tan then the color would look nice, but if you have any other skin tone it would look nice too.

    The polish is about $5-$6, I believe which is inexpensive. Check out their website China Glaze, but I got mine at Sally's Beauty Supply.

   I would rate this a 4.5 out of 5 because its somewhat inexspensive and the color pay off is great because it only takes two coats, but the consistensiy is a little wonky.

Coral and Peach Lippies

        Hey Guys, if you didn't know, I'm new to make-up, so my collection is slowly building up. Out of all the make-up products out there, the ones I buy the most are lip products. I think if I could only have one make-up product to wear, it would be a lippy product. *I'm not here to brag about how much stuff I own, cause I really don't, I just want to share and get advice from others :)* Right now I have seven lip products( 4 lip glosses, 2 lipsticks, and 1 lip cream) and some lip conditioners like Carmex. Since I don't really like dark or really bright/light colors on my lips, I usually go for the neutral lip. Because I'm naturally tanned (NC44) I buy peach or coral lippys because I think it complements my skin tone.

       So I have two peach lipsticks, MACs 'Shy Girl' and Wet N' Wilds 'Just Peachy'. 'Shygirl' is a creme sheen lipstick, which comes of as a peachy-nude color on my lips. And it also has some light shimmers on it to make it shine more and it smells like sweet marsh mellows(if you like the smell of sweets, you will definitely like it). And 'Just Peachy' is more of a bright peachy-coral, but I find that if you rub it in more it softens up the lips from looking to harsh on my lips. Its a matte finish and it doesn't really have a smell to it, but it comes on quite creamy, but dries up a little bit, but that's fine because I always add a clear gloss or my Carmex on top, so it wont be so dry.

         For my lip glosses MACs Tinted Lipglass in 'Nymphette' is more on the pink side but still has a peach color to it with small gold flecks and it smells just like'Shy Girl', but its more on the sticky side, so I don't wear it as much.

       Wet N' Wilds Mega Slicks Lipgloss in Berry Burst is not my favorite because its sticky and it smells really really bad, so I wouldn't buy it again. But the only thing good about it is the color payoff, which is more on the coral side. I don't recommend it, unless you just like the color.

       So my favorite lipgloss in this WHOLE collection is the Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Sunset Peach, because its not sticky, so its like a smooth feeling on your lips. And its smells like coconuts but not exactly like it. But the color payoff is sheer, but it has little gold and peach sparkles. I usually add this on top of 'Shy Girl". I think I'm going to buy more colors of this range. Also the dopher brush is awesome b/c it can bend back and forth to give you alot of product.
