Review:Strawberry Fresh Lip Balm

hello hello lovely people <3

okay so I'ma do a review on my fav lip product of all time and it's the fresh lip balm from the face shop.and the main reason i'm doing this is cause I can't find a single review on it so here it goes


it's called the"Fresh Lip Balm" and I have it in strawberry which is they're best seller
but theres also orange and cherry if you don't like strawberry(which I won't understand why since it's sooooo amazing!)
okay lets start with the pros and cons
PROS:
-smells heavenly (about the smell of fresh squeezed strawberries like legit strawberries! yumm)
-actually tastes like strawberries too (no I don't eat lip balms)
-amazingly moisturizing on the lips!
-heals the most cracked,dry,and brittle lips within the hour
-comes with 10g of product which is a ton of product!
CONS:
-kinda on the pricey side for a lip balm (7-9 bucks)
-not that easy to find if you don't have a face shop anywhere near you
-the smell can be a bit on the overpowering side(I don't really have a issue with that since I <3 strawberries but for those people that can't take strong fragrances yeaa)

okay so I came by this product because my friend highly reccomended it to me since I had bad bad chapped lips back then.at first I did'nt expect much out of it I'm not going to lie.I thought it was just one of those lip balms that were like ehhh whatever.but dang! was I suprised!so the first time I used it my ex boyfriend (ugh hate him)was like mann you smell good out of nowhere.and I mean this thing has a very strong smell.not to to strong but enough so you could smell it on your lips.
anywho like at that time I had really bad chapped lips and it was bleeding and ugh terrible.within the hour I noticed my lips were really soft and moisturized.and i thought wow...this is honestly THE BEST LIP BALM EVER! I tried to get my ex to try some since he had nasty dry lips (ladies when your kissin your man make sure he has some gooooood chapstick on him).
but he of course had his manly pride and refused like my other guy friends.I love love this lip balm sooo much.
anywho I had it for almost a little more then 6 monthes and I'm still halfway from being done!and let me repeat I use this everyday single fricking day!i mean I knew this thing was packed to the brim but dang I thought I would get through it at least within 5 monthes!so this product is going to last you a long time.so if you really think about it,considering that a regular chapstick would last a average month to two monthes you'll be saving quite a bit of money.so I consider this as a investment for beautiful lips.but I only use it at night cause it has no spf (I'm BIG on spf)so I use my carmex or soft lips during the day and this at night.
ladies if your looking for a life saving,nasty cracked lips helping,miracle working,lip balm check this out!
P.S//if you don't have a faceshop near you a reccomend ebay cause they don't sell on they're website booooooo!

I hope you guys enjoyed
and if you have any questions please feel free to ask

haulage and review

hello lovely people :]

it's been quite a while since I've posted a haul
and well if it is'nt completely obvious why...
it's cause I've been really short on cash lately
but I recently got my allowance
and I was able to go out and shop for the first time in a long time T_T

but yea
anywho on to my haul
so I basically got four stuff makeup related
and it's from mac and vicky secrets yeaa I know but i was soooo excited to go to mac today!

I know I know it does'nt seem like much
but trust me...
this is alot of money for me to spend on makeup in one day...
I actually chose these over this amazing coat at H&M.And for me to do that
that's a biggg deal haha

so basically from mac I got one item from the "color craft collection"
and one item from the "love that look collection" which is basically a collection completely made up of the starflash eyeshadow repromo.

okay to start off lets go into the color craft collection.
well.. like every teenager these days that does'nt have a job
you need to go off pocket money to shop
and with me i basically got into the mac frenzy just this year.
I know LAMMEEEE
but yea
when I saw that color craft was made up mainly of mineralized stuff like eyeshadows,blushes,and had SIX I repeat SIX MSF'S coming out
I went insane I tell you!
cause to be honest I have no MSF.none,nada,zip.
and the main reason is because I really find that they're just going to be sitting in my makeup drawers catching dust
so today when I went to mac, I really had my heart set on the repromoted porcelain pink MSF.
but when I saw it in person I was like "errrrrr.... idk"
so I had a talk with my mac lady who was extremely funny let me tell you *coughs* anyways
she said it would just be a highlighter cause it's just tooo shimmery to be a blush
and it made sense so I just went to plan b getting Fad-dabulous blush.
but I saw daft pink and I was in loveee but i loved fad-dabulous as well
and i asked my mac lady on which would look better and she said daft pink since fad-dabulous is on the more mauvey side
and boy! am I happy with my purchase it's beautiful I mean look at it!
ugh...this is definatley going to be my go to blush for a while!
:D

okay so next on to starflash
so the eyeshadow I got from this collection was style snob
cause when it comes to mac eyeshadows in particular,I like to stick with the neutrals.
just because I know i don't use colors very often and i'm a amature when it comes to eyeshadow so for now nono on the bright out there colors
and like the color craft I had my heart set on smoke & diamonds which is a beautiful somewhat peuter gun metal grey <3 love.
but unfortunately it was sold out at my mac store (I knew I should have gone to norstrom!)
but I still wanted to get something cause when i checked out the "baby bloom" collection with they're suntints.
I was seriously soooo grossed out
i did a swatch of the purple one on my finger
and geez! that thing is like tacky school glue! seriously,i could see it sticking and having those strings like eww... ugh
yea anywho so I went with style snob cause it seemed like a amazing color
and I see why people rave on these eyeshadows!
1.they feel like silk on the skin
2.pigmentation is a A+++
3.Amazing amazing amazing need i say more?!
I wish i could get more hopefully if I do well around house cleaning or better yet find a job in this horrible economy,maybe I'll be able to get a back up and smoke & dimonds before they're sold out! but yea this could possibly be my new fave all over lid or outer crease color<3

okay nowwww on to vicky secrets.
okay so as you probably know,vicky secrets was having a75% off sale on all the very sexy line products cause they were reformulating everything and changing the packaging.
so I when I went into my vicky's oh my gosh they came out with a brand new "very sexy"line of makeup!
0_0 I know!
so I legit stood there for about a hour testing out they're products on what i wanted to get so heres what I came with

okay so this is they're silky eye shadow and no longer does it have that black and red packaging with the "very sexy" on the lid (which to me frankly looked horribly tacky! -____-;; personal opinon!
now it's black with a clear plastic center and just says vs.
sleek and nice and let me tell you these eyeshadows are like SILK!
so they'res three different types to the eyeshadows they'res:
Velvet:which is mainly concentrated with mattes
Sparkle:if you can't figure out from it's name it's going to be pretty shimmery if it was a mac eyeshadow it would probably be a veluxe pearl.
Lustre:a slight amount of shimmer but not like BAM! all up in yo face!

so the one I got is called "Rich" and it's in the velvet finish.
omgosh...well to be completely honest the sparkle finishes are like the benifit eyeshadows.they're incredibly soft and super pigmented without a base.The lustre and Velvet finishes are'nt really as soft but they are super soft too.
and all of them are incredibly pigmented. I got this one mainly cause it reminded me of expresso from mac which i have been dying to get but I always get something else when I go in T_T.or if not sable but whatever.anywho it's a dark rich chocolate brown and boy does it look beautiful on the crease or outer corner with all that glitters all over the lid!

personally I think this is something I'm going to try to collect...
there goes my pocket money....


okay so next is the perfect lipstick and I abosolutely LOVE THIS!
to be honest,I don't wear lipstick often the only lipstick I would see myself wearing everyday is my clinque sheer moisture lipstick but unfortunalty it got discontinued and I only use it on those special occasion. sad but true.
so for me to love a lipstick enough to wear it everyday is a huge deal.I got mine in wish and i can't find these on the website so I'm guessing it's out of stock already so i better stock up!
okay so to begin with it's increadibly creamy! soooo sooo creamy but not as moisturizing as I hoped it would be.but with maybe a sight layer of carmex that would fix it!
this is something I could see myself buying over and over it's the perfect pink shade for my lips and for people of high pigmented lips this is the way to go I think I just might love this over my cream cup lipstick from mac 0_o yep
I'm soooo stocking up

ohhh so yea that's my review
and p.s//they have a new concealer pallet that's just like the makeup forever concealer pallet.only wayyyy cheaper and creamier idk how it's going to hold up but when I get my cash I'm sooo buying it :D

if you guys have any questions please let me know
