Super Bold Pigmented lip color

Bite Beauty

Amuse Bouche Lipstick

The packaging is a very cool matte black, but with an almost rubberized feel to them. There is a small dip in the cap which reminds me of the shape of a lipstick. It closes and locks securely as well. I don't see an accident happening with these. 

A very nice package. 

Here is some information from Bite Beauty about these lip sticks:

What it is: 

A collection of high-impact lipsticks in dimensional shades that have been handcrafted to deliver extreme moisture, soft texture, and creamy wear.

Created and crafted by hand, Bite’s small batch, low-heat process preserves a balanced blend of lip-quenching nutrients, vitamins, and omega oils that are essential for achieving healthy-looking lips. Made with 12 edible oils and triple milled pigments, this lipstick provides saturated lip color with weightless coverage and a citrus flavor made from fresh pressed fruit. 

What it is formulated WITHOUT: 

- Parabens

- Phthalates

With its sole focus on lips, Bite Beauty proves you don’t have to sacrifice performance for a product made from nature. Their lip products are created with natural and food-grade ingredients for beauty that’s better for you. They do not contain petrochemicals and are certified gluten-free.

Here is what I think :

These lipsticks are bold, pigmented and creamy. 

One swipe is crazy bold! They glide on easily and feel very moisturizing on the lips. 

I was able to try out 3 shades. Here we go for the try on. 

Beetroot- Bold Berry 

This is a very dark red, berry/wine shade. This one can be a bit hard to apply and using a lip brush will help get a crisp line to the lip.

Gazpacho - TrueBlue-Red

This is the most amazing bold red that gives my teeth the whitest tone.

Pepper- Dusty Rose

This shade seems to change tones. In the pics below it looks pink in tone, but other times is is much darker and brown toned. This is  my favorite since I can wear this one daily. A perfect go to work shade.

They are long wearing, but at the same time the darker bold ones can be quite messy. Since they are so very pigmented, you really need to pay attention when applying to your lips and maybe a lip liner would keep these from moving around. They are not transfer proof, but still long wearing and I would say hours of wear. If your hair swipes across your lips and rubs your face you will have some lipstick on your face. I love how bold and long lasting they are, but torn due to it not being transfer proof. I wish they were not so messy since they look stunning.

I received these for free for review, regardless I will always give my honest opinions. 

Kérastase VoxBox

Kérastase VoxBox 

A little about my hair: It is very long and I mean down to my butt long and in-between fine and normal. It is quite damaged, which I think is to be expected with such long hair and I have dry split ends. I do use a flat iron often. So heat damage is an issue as well.

1st step Condition

 Using RÉSISTANCE SOIN PREMIER THÉRAPISTE

(Conditioner)

This is the 1^ST Reverse Care Conditioner to repair very damaged, over-processed hair.

Yes that's right, you use the conditioner 1st!

 In this unique system you condition first in order to add a protective layer to your hair before washing. I have never heard of this and thought...hey why not?! Let's see IT also says that it is to help repair very damaged and over processed hair without weighing down. what can happen. 

I did just this and added it from mid shaft of my hair to the roots and left it on for about 5 minutes while I did what I had to do in the shower. Shaved my legs for extra time and rinsed. It left my hair with this strange calm feeling. It is hard to explain, it is not a typical conditioner. 

2nd step Shampoo

Kérastase Resistance Bain Therapiste (Shampoo)

This shampoo has a very strange consistency and I have to say does suds up quite well and leaves my hair feeling clean without over drying. 

In case you are wondering you can use the conditioner once again at the end. When you do it is a super silky and calm reaction for your hair. You will be super surprised

I have been using this system and love the way my hair behaves after use. The texture feels amazing after use and it is an obvious difference in my hairs appearance after each use. My hair is calm and "behaved" and most of all easy to make look good. I leave it in for about 5 minutes for my max result. I love how beautiful my hair looks. I would love to try out the entire line to see how much more of an improvement it would do .

Frosty Vox Box

A little late

I had the opportunity to get the Frosty Vox box from Influenster.

What is Influenster and how does it work?

It is a site where you can get the opportunity to try out products for FREE by giving your reviews and sharing your thoughts via social media. You want to make sure to connect all of your social media sites for the best chance to get in on a VoxBox. 

This is a long lasting bold lip color and is actually long lasting. I own a few colors from this line. 

I love Thyme in my cooking it is earthy and just like home cooking. 

This brush is good for using while I blow dry my hair since it has the holes in it, but not for just brushing out my hair in the morning. I didn't like the fluffiness it give when using it on dry hair. I also want to add that I had to use another brush to get the tangles out before using this one to blow dry my hair. 

The Rimmel  eye makeup remover was surprisingly AWESOME! I didn't expect it to work so well. It removed my mascara in just a could gently swipes. That was impressive to me. 

Fruit Vines gummy like licorice treats that are strawberry flavored :)

Mary Kay #MKGlam from Influenster

This is the #MKGlam Influenster Mary Kay VoxBox

I was so so excited to find out that I was chosen to review and try out Mary Kay products via Influenster in exchange for my thoughts. I have previously tried a couple items from Mary Kay, but I would consider myself a novice at Mary Kay.

Everything Included:

Mary Kay® Bronzing Powder $18

While this Bronzer has a golden shimmer it doesn't give a disco ball look. It is also like a two in one since I do not need to use a highlighter with it. It has just enough color in combination with shimmer.

Mary Kay® Translucent Loose Powder $16
This is great and I like loose powders. I love that the sifter can open and close. This keeps the unfortunate powder explosion from happening. It does it's job at mattifying and setting my foundation.

Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color in Shy $12
Shy Blush has to be one of my favorite items in the box. It has a golden/coral tone and is stunning on the cheeks. I truly love this shade and it brings life and a sun kissed look that is perfect for the season.

Mary Kay® Cream Eye Color in Apricot Twist $14
This is very sheer upon application to the eyes and while I wouldn't use it on its own, I do like it as a base and once it is applied it is a very long lasting no budge formula. It is very soft and silky. While it comes with a concealer brush I prefer to apply if with my finger tip.

Mary Kay® Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush $10
This can be used with the Cream eye color sent, but I prefer using my finger tips for application. It is a flat brush and is great for spot concealing or eyeshade application for the lids. I prefer to use with a powder shadow.
The powder brush is my least favorite item. While it is large and fluffy it is not soft. It is actually scratchy on the cheeks. I have been using it daily, but every time I use it, I think to myself "why do I bother". It is just not a quality feeling brush. The handle is sturdy and feels good in the hand, but the brush is just not good.

Mary Kay® Lash Love® Mascara $115

I have heard RAVE reviews on this Lash Love mascara. I was very excited to use it and was expecting a heck of a lot of WOW to happen. As with all new mascaras, it was thin and blah upon my initial applications. I was actually not happy with the results to my lashes at all. I thought it was not worth the hype and kept trying to figure out why this is such a fan favorite to Mary Kay users. After more than a few uses the mascara thickened up and well... performed much better. It gives length, but was finally starting to give the volume that I so feel the need for in any mascara. My tip is to give it a little time. Open it and do the "no no" pump your mascara. Give it a chance to dry out just a tad and I think you will be much happier with the application. 

Mary Kay® Gel Eyeliner with Expandable Brush Applicator in Jet Black $18

This is an extremely creamy black liner. It comes with a portable lash lining brush which to me was wha what? WOW! I really like the thought that this can be taken with you and with that portable brush that won't ruin your bag. However the brush is not the best for lining my eyes. It is really hard to get a fine line. Getting a thick line is no problem. You can see from the pics below how long lasting it is as well. Only after a few minutes on my hand I rubbed and rubbed and it took a lot to remove the liner. make sure you apply it carefully. 

Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss in Mango Tango $14
This scared me when I looked at it and I was like no way am I going to put this loud color on my lips! It is actually quite flattering and the consistency of the gloss is perfect. I love the feel, the consistency and the wear. It is not all day, but it lasts a bit longer than the usual lip gloss. It is not as orange on as it seems.

Here is the look with all of the Mary Kay Items above. I added a little brown to the lids to give it some depth, but this is a natural everyday look, appropriate for work. Love the light shimmer of the cheeks from the blush and bronzer and the lip color is just right.

I was sent these products from Influenster Complimentary to review and give my thoughts and opinions on them.

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants

Loved getting my Botanicals Ionic Clay masks in my Influenster Box.

I really like that it dries quickly! Most clay maks take forever to dry which is why i avoid using them. I really do not have that kind of time to mess around with them. This I can pop on . Go on FB for a couple minutes and go jump in the shower or rinse off quickly! Oh and it really rinses of really quick. No need to scrub and suffer with it sticking to your fine baby hair on your face. 

Easy Peasy. 

I also used it as a spot treatment  for a huge and painful blemish showing up and by morning nearly nothing there and no more pain to the site! OH YEA!!

Influenster #JollyVoxBox

I was so excited to find out about the Influenster JollyVoxBox.

Once I opened the box I was even happier. There were a few items I have yet to try or use. 

The first item and instead of saving the best for last I just have to share how happy this item made me when I say it. Some people don't feel so happy about a drug store product, but I have been wanting to try the New Rimmell Show off lip color in "Luna" It is a peachy color and very creamy. It is a mixture between a gloss and a liquid lipstick. You do need to re-apply, but that is to be expected for me. 

$4.99-$5.99 

Next from Duck Tape was a fun bright colored mini duck tape in blue and white. I actually want to save this and use to when I go on my next Mud Run. I always use Duck Tape to keep my shoes from falling off or getting sucked off in the mud. So this little surprise will be saved for my next special event. 

 

From Skinny Cow was a box of the divine filled chocolates which are only 130 calories per pack and can I say yummy. I have already purchased every flavor of skinny cow treats. My kids can eat a whole box in one sitting. I always have to hide them and give them out as treats.

$4.99+

NYC eyeshadow trio in Long Beach Sands has amazing pigment and blendability. For the price of $2.75 (Walmart) it is affordable to all. If you love a neutral like I do you should pick this up. 

Puffs Take along Tissues is fantastic to have on hand. Perfect for your purse, car, diaper bag and more. I am already a fan of puffs and have several boxes in my home.
