I like this product because it does a great job of healing your lips. I put it on before bed and when I wake up my lips are much smoother. I tend to wear this at night because it is heavier than other chapsticks but on occasion I will wear it during the day. 

Benefits of product
- It is formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemical, and GMO's. 
- It has SPH 15 which is great if you are going into the sun. 
- It is also formulated with repairing oils (black currant oil, grape seed oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil).
- It contains real sugar and beeswax which are natural humectant.

Tip Tuesday #11

When you don't know what color shoes will go best with your outfit the best choice seems to always be black. Wrong. The best choice is a nude color shoe. This color shoe elongates the leg and the color goes with everything. Black heals tend to cut the foot off from the rest of the leg making it look awkward. Now I know we are all guilty of this mistake and to tell you the truth I do not own a good pair of nude shoes. Next time I need some shoes for a outfit I'm going to try a nude shoe.


Try it and leave me a comment on how it worked for you.

No Tip Tuesday???

I apologize that Tip Tuesday was not up this week. I had a crazy busy week with work and I was unable to get a post together. I will resume my normal schedule next week.

New Product!

I have only been using this for a month but it is fantastic! It is NYX Cosmetics Doll Eyes Long Lash Mascara. One of the issues I have with lengthening mascara is it makes my lashes look too long. This product does not do this, it makes them look just right. One of the unique features is the wand is its bell shape. It just grabs the lashes in a different way then the typical wand. Also the product is not too thick so it does not way down my long lashes. It is definitely worth the hype. I reach for this everyday and will keep reaching for it.

Splurge Saturday #2

This weeks splurge worthy item is:

Michael Todd Organic Cranberry Antioxidant Toner 

Amount of product: 8.4 fl oz. 
Price: $18

Purchase: http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/organic-cranberry-toner.html

I love this toner because no matter how much I scrub my face this still gets off make up. I put it on a cotton round wipe my face and then repeat. I repeat because I feel like the second time it really gets into my skin and it feels fresh. I used to use Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin Astringent which tingled but was not as effective. I never realized how much makeup was really left on my skin after I used a make up wipe and washed my face. Since it gets off that makeup you would think it would be harsh on the skin, right? Wrong, it is still great for my sensitive skin. 

Benefits of product
- Anti-aging properties, not that I really need that yet but its a plus. 
- 90% organic ingredients. I'm trying to go more organic with my skin care so I love this brand since they tell you how much of each product is organic. 
- Antioxidants from the cranberries which are wonderful for your skin. 
- Balances the pH levels of your skin. Always need balance. 
- Non-drying which is great for my already dry skin. There is no alcohol in the product which is usually the main cause for products drying out your skin. 
- Fights bacteria on the skin.

New Product!

I have been using Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in transparent for three months. I actually like this and reach for this more than my MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in light plus. It does a great job of keeping the shine away. I would not say this last all day but I don't mind reapplying if necessary. The best part is the color is not too dark for my skin. I have a very hard time finding products that are light enough for my very fair skin, so this was a wonderful find.
