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!

REVIEW: Baby Lips Electric (Strike a Rose-95)

In my other Baby Lips Review (Dr.Rescue in Berry Soft) I mentioned that I didn't like the formula or how it didn't moisturize my lips. Well that's exactly how I feel about this one, I find it drying and the color extenuated the lines and dryness of my lips. I believe there are 6 colors in the line, and two of them are completely sheer. I have to say the pigmentation of these are amazing and if you are a fan of the original Baby Lips line or any other line that isn't Dr. Rescue, I think you will enjoy this one too. It may just be my lip type or something about how the formula doesn't work for me, but remember no ones skin/lip type is the same! So this is a hit or miss kind of product and this is fairly inexpensive so I would at least give it a go! :)

REVIEW: Aveeno Active Naturals Skin Relief Body Wash

Another review! So this is about a new body wash I tried out which is the Aveeno Active Naturals Skin Relief Body Wash (woah that's a looong name). I used this body wash when my skin was in the worst condition ever! It was dry, flaky and itchy! So I tried this because I can always trust Aveeno and this saved my skin! I mean it was better than it was before. Sorry I don't have any before and after pictures of my skin because I didn't think the results would be so great. This body wash lathers up really fast and easily, and it's extremely moisturizing at the same time. The consistency is a gel like and almost slimy texture. I recommend this to people who have dry skin or itchy skin (eczema) because it is extremely gentle. Also, this is a bit pricey at $13.99 but if you can go to Costco and find the 3 pack then go for that one because it's only $14.99 for three bottles!

REVIEW: Billie Cosmetics Radiant Blusher (Rose)


I purchased this blush months ago from Dollar Tree, I bought because it's only a dollar and didn't think I would actually use it as a blush. When I got home I swatched it and it was very chalky and white, but then I applied on my cheeks with my Elf Studio Stipple Brush and it was absolutely gorgeous! It appears more pigmented on the cheek rather than the hand. This comes in three shades which are Rose, Coral, and Barbie (I think). This one looked the most natural and looked best with my skintone. I am planning to pick up Coral next time I go to Dollar Tree because it looked quite nice. I wouldn't purchase Barbie myself because it has a very bright purple undertone. Now these blushes are reasonably pigmented and are at a great price but the quality isn't what I look for in a blush. It doesn't really go on smooth and the formula isn't buttery at all. This blush is actually quite easy to blend so I don't 
 really mind the fact that it doesn't go on so smooth. Something that really bothers me about the packaging is that feels and look cheap and I feel like the plastic is going to break. Also, there is no information what so ever on the product itself, only on the cardboard it came with so that pretty annoying.

OVERALL RATING: 2/5
-Really inexpensive
-Decent pigmentation 
-Blendable
-Formula sucks
-Packaging sucks
-Smells bad (but not once applied to the face)
