OraLabs Lip Balm

I have tried a few lip balms in the past, As of now the OraLabs Essential Extra Moisture SPF 15 lip balm is my current favorite at this moment. Wearing it on my lips feels soft, hydrated, and I never feel chapped lips. A while ago my dad had this in his truck and I felt my lips dry, I put it on for the first time and I fell in love with it ever since. I wear lip balms anytime, around this time and winter is when my lips can get very dry and I know I can rely on this balm to keep my lips hydrated. I have tried Nivea A Kiss Of Smoothness SPF4 and Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast SPF 15 and I still prefer my OraLabs over both of them. I feel like nothing can keep my lips feeling hydrated well enough like this lip balm, I love to wear this over my lip glosses because of the SPF 15 keep in mind when wearing lip gloss, when you go outside the sun tends to hit your lips and the lip gloss will reflect the sun light more than lipstick because of the shine,  can lead to damage in the long run. Always wear lip balm anytime, with an SPF15 or more under your lipstick or lip gloss whichever way you prefer. I really do recommend this lip balm, of course  keep in mind that if it may not work for you, may work for others.

Makeup Haul

Today I went on a little shopping spree and bought me some makeup products, I wanted to try out. Right now in my local HEB has been having coupon deals lately and boy have I gone overboard. My newest items will be first, and to the last items I purchased last week. Now if you live in Texas HEB (Here Everything is Better) has been having coupons way more now than in the past especially in my HEB. If you don't have a HEB where you are from, that's okay at the end I will post links where you can find coupons for makeup etc. Note I will be reviewing each makeup individually stay tuned for that. Always check for coupons in the Sunday newspaper, online, or your local Supermarket, Drugstore also can have coupons or buy one get one 50 % off.

Now these are the Project Runway Limited Edition Collection. Now I was only able to find the blushes and 3 lipsticks my HEB doesn't have much selection which sucks, but the lip sticks I was not really interested in the colors expect for Sultry Raven's Pout and it is a beautiful nude pinkish color but HEB didn't have it. I was interested in these blushes these are the shades I liked the most, the one on the left is 225 Watchful Owl's Blush and the one on the right is 625 Audacious Amazon's Blush. Now there are 2 more blushes in the collection, Charming Cockatoo's Blush & Sultry Raven's Blush.  All the blushes cost $9.95 each.



I also picked up the ALMAY smart shade in 300 medium SPF 15, now this foundation claims to have flaw erase technology, which I am not sure in the old packaging when the smart shade first came out I don't remember seeing that it had flaw erase technology but don't quote me on that just and observation. Cost $9.98 and the store had a $2.50 dollar off coupon cost me $7.48.



 Lately I have been obsessed with the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stains and this one I bought was in the color Desire now this shade is hard to find because it always sells out but luckily just brought them back in stock to sell out again haha. Lip stain cost $7.97 and I had a $1.00 off coupon cost $6.97.



These single shadows cost $1.99 each and is pretty affordable the shades I got are # 45 back to khaki,  # 01 chill out, # 03 starlight, #44 it's up to you. essence has more shades to choose from. Some can be matte to shimmer & metallic eyeshadows, essence is a German makeup company.




Here are some links to coupon sites that can have makeup coupons, they may not have a selection of makeup coupons, but I have printed from these sites where I have bought the makeup because of the coupons I found.

Broadway Nails

Today I did my nails to complete my mission 4 on Broadway Nails Facebook page.  Plus I thought I would treat myself to get my nails done. I love getting my nails done whenever I have free time, I am in love with these Fast French nails. Here in detail how to apply and to remove these nails. You can find the instructions on the back of box.
 
These are the Fast French in real short length # 50836 BFD14 its a ten minute manicure. Prepare your nails clean nails with acetone-based polish remover. Select the correct size nails for each finger. If needed, file sides for the best fit. 
              
How To Apply Nails

  1. Apply glue to nail
  2. Apply thin layer of glue to natural nail
  3. Starting at cuticle, press on & hold for 5 seconds


How To Remove
 
1. Do not force or pull nails off
2. Trim and file surface to break through protective topcoat.
3. Soak nails in acetone based polish remover until soft. Wipe off softened plastic and glue. Repeat as necessary.
 
 
.
 
 
Note: Wear beyond 7 days is not recommended.
                                             Also using pink gel glue for stronger, longer wear.

I am in love with these Fashion Diva Nail Art with the nails as mentioned above, these stickers will make your basic French Nail look amazing. I totally recommend these Nail Art Stickers to anyone!! Here are the numbers and names of each of the 3 Nail Art. These are the ones I was sent, Broadway has more Nail Art designs.
 
  1.  On the left # 53129 BGNA03 in Keep Me, are the Color Changing ones
  2. One on the middle # 54227 BNA09 in Glimmer
  3. On the right are the ones I am using on my nails # 54226 BNA08 in Classic
How To Apply
  1. Apply polish or top coat if desired. Let dry.
  2. Peel sticker from paper and place on desired position. A tip is to use a cuticle stick and try to pick at the sticker until the sticker sticks to the tip of the cuticle stick and place on desired part of the artificial nail. This will be a lot easier.
  3. Apply top coat to seal. Let dry.
These are the results I got :)
