Laura Geller Mini Lip Set

Mini sets are my favorite things!


This mini lip set (found at Ulta for $15) includes baby tubes of Laura Geller lip tints and Lip Strip scrub. Perfect to throw in a weekend bag and go!

So Sassy is a red balm and So Rosy is a bubblegum pink balm. These are so hydrating and easy to wear. And the cute little size is pocket-friendly. And the price if forgiving if you accidentally wash the jeans with this still in them...

Lip Strip is awesome. The full size retails for $18, but a little goes a long way here. It smells minty and easily buffs away imperfections for a flawless canvas to your lip tints or any other lip product.


So Rosy is your typical light pink. It settles into fine lines on lips, but is a rather comfortable formula and the slight settling doesn't bother me.


But of course, So Sassy, the red tint, is more my speed. Makes lip look juicy, hydrated and full!


I haven't had much experience with Laura Geller products, but my lips sure feel stellar after using Lip Strip and the Lip Tints!

What is your fave Laura Geller product?

Julep Sugar Smooch Lip Scrub Review

Lip scrubs...probably not the most necessary beauty product to actually buy, as some plain ol' sugar will do the trick, but I couldn't resist picking up this Julep sugar scrub with some Julep points.


This Julep Sugar Smooch scrub is your basic lip softening scrub but housed in a super-chic vanity friendly gold ribbed orb. It is so pretty and clearly 20's inspired if their recent maven boxes are anything to show for it.

 
I have to say, the packaging is so cute, but beyond that, I do have issues with this product. Why? Because it retails for $14. And even for Mavens it is still $12. I got this for free with points, but upon finding out the actual price, I would never, ever pay it!
 
 
Don't get me wrong, this is a good product. It smells amazing, like fresh, hot caramel. Seriously yummy. It does a nice job softening lips as well, but the pot is small and this is something you can easily DIY. The packaging may be cute, but $14 is steep for a lip scrub.
 
Overall thoughts: Glad I have it, but I wouldn't pay more than $6 for it, especially since there are cheaper and larger options out there.
 
Price: 4/10
Performance: 8/10
Color/Wearability: n/a
Packaging: 10/10
Overall Quality: 7/10
 
Total: 29/40 = C- = Sad Panda
 
What do you think? Would you buy it?
