ANIME REVIEW: Hyouka [spoilers]

I just recently finished watching Hyouka, and let me say it gave me the creeps.. I love the idea of mystery, "romance" and comedy in one but I get scared quite easily ahaha. This series is 22 episodes long and there haven't been any mentions of a second season (which bothers me so much). I have mixed feelings about the anime because the concept is wonderful, I love the story line, characters and their development BUT the ending felt incomplete to me.
*SPOILER ALERT* okay so the two main characters obviously have feeling for each other but they didn't confess or express there feelings towards each other by the end and that's why I am upset that there is no season 2. I also heard from my friend that recommended this to me that the manga ended this way too, I'm not sure if that's true because I haven't read it.
I feel as though this anime is a hit or miss for people. I love everything about it except the ending but some people may be able to like that and accept that. There isn't too much I can say about this anime considering I don't want to spoil too much because it's mystery and it's too short to say much about it. I hope I did okay for my first ANIME REVIEW! Please leave suggestions and recommendations down below!

REVIEW: Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks (MINI) (Carnation and Cozy Mauve)

 Obviously another review for you guys :) So I purchased these sample Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks for $0.99 each. Let me just say I hate ordering lipsticks from Avon because their swatches are nothing like the actual product. But back to the review, I really love these lipsticks, they're super pigmented and smooth and come in loads of different colors! I have two colors, which are Cozy Mauve and Carnation. I guess I can't speak for the entire line of lipsticks since some colors might be formulated differently than these. I really love these but I have to wear a lip balm underneath because it can be a bit drying on my lips. As much as I love these lipsticks I think you can find cheaper ones at the drugstore since these can run at a pretty high price. But if you're really into lipsticks and are willing spend a tiny bit more then I really recommend these and I would give them a go. Also,

Top: Carnation; Bottom: Cozy Mauve

if you are not pleased with the product, you can send it back to Avon and get a refund. 

OVERALL RATING: 3/5
I am quite upset with the swatches given in the book and how they did not look at all like the lipsticks I received. But the lipsticks itself give off beautiful pigmentation and the finish is stunning.

REVIEW: Vaseline Lip Therapy- Original

 This review is on the Vaseline Lip Therapy, in the original formula. I believe this comes in Cocoa Butter and Rosy Lips.
If I am being completely honest then I must say that this is exactly like the original Vaseline (sold in the larger tub). This has one extra ingredient which is "Yellow 5 Lake". This moisturizes my lips exactly as the original Vaseline Jelly does. The only difference I see between the two product is the color and consistency (Lip Therapy is thicker). I have to say that this does moisturize my lips very well and is my favorite lip balm at the moment. Also, the packaging is so frickin' adorable! The packaging did influence my purchasing of the product A LOT! I would give this product a go because it's very inexpensive (around $1-2) and after you're finished with you can refill it with anything! Perhaps more Vaseline. I included pictures of the product on the left and swatched it on my hand. As you can see in the last picture, it goes on completely clear :)


OVERALL RATING: 4/5
-Good product, moisturizing, inexpensive, nice packaging
-Same as original, nothing special (no wow factor)

REVIEW: Blistex Lip Medex

This is going to be a really quick and fast review. This is the Blistex Lip Medex Lip Balm for cold sores, cracked and dry lips. This lip balm really saved me after a camping trip, I had horribly dry lips and it was to the point where the skin around my lips even started to crack! I bought this afterwards and the next day my lips were soft and the cracks were healed. So recommend this lip balm to everyone even if you don't get extremely dry lips because if a cold sore randomly pops up, this heals it the next morning! Btw I bought this for $3.99 at my local drugstore, totally affordable!
