Baby Lips Gloss in Berry Chic: Swatch and Review

 

More lip product reviews coming your way, and today I am reviewing the new Baby Lips Lip Gloss in the color Berry Chic. These retail for around $4, but I have seen them for less and more (Ulta is having BOGO 1/2 off Maybelline now so this is a good time to get some!).

These things have been blowing up the beauty world. I swear, they are like Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em all! While I was like that with the Baby lips balm, I was a bit more hesitant here. Early swatches from other bloggers didn't seem promising, so I chose the pretty red color from the 'jelly' collection, which I heard performed the best. 

The tubes themselves are very cute, each with a fun contrasting color and a small doe foot applicator. This formula really is jelly-like. To me, it smells a bit like floral Jell-o, but it isn't too strong. I have heard that some people can't stand it, but I don't mind it.

As you can see from my swatch, there is barely any color to this gloss. If anything, a very faint coral/orange red, but definitely not 'berry'. It does ever so slightly darken my natural lip color.

 

This is glossy and seems to blur the lines on my lips. It is a great topper gloss and if you want to wear it alone, well it is very moisturizing! For the past week it has replaced my lip balm! It just feels good on...non sticky, a little thick and jelly-like, and gives me moisture.

But the bottom line? You only need one, if any. These won't give you more than a whisper of color, but they are comfy, cute, fit well in a pocket, and are good on the go or to top off other lip colors. A fun idea from the Baby Lips fam, but I'll be passing by the display next time.

Baby Lips Electro: Oh! Orange!

Hey Pandas! Summer is all about brights, but they can be intimidating to wear, and personally I like the idea of them better than the actual thing. Cue the new Babylips Electro collection for Summer 2013. 

If you have ever ventured onto this blog, you probably know that I LOVE the Babylips formula. I think that Maybelline did a great job with all aspects of the product. I also know that some people don't care for Babylips, but even if it isn't your HG chap stick, I think the Electro collection is worth checking out.

 

 

They are the same price as the originals ($2.99) and the packaging is all black with colored writing on the clear cap. Oh! Orange! has the best smell---it smells like a "big stick"! (If you have never heard of this amazing ice cream treat, Google it!). The formula is no different, but I find there is a nice pop of color with the new neon Electros. They are the easiest way to feel summery and wear 'brights' with zero maintenance.

 

 

I think the wearable orange color is so pretty, the packaging is really cute, and the price can't be beat. If you are looking for a cheap summer thrill, pick up one of the new Babylips Electro colors!

 

Have you tried any of the Babylips Electro collection? I want to try the lemon one next!

Holy Grail Chapsticks!

I love finding Holy Grail products, products that are my go-to everyday. I can usually tell they are winners because I go through them like hot-cakes.

So today I would love to introduce you to my two HG chap sticks, the babies that save my lips and grace them on a daily basis.

The first is the cult fave LipSmackers in Dr. Pepper. It smells lovely, gives a subtle red tint to lips, and is moisturizing. Plus it has the cute factor. This guy has never let me down and I have been using this for years. Since high school.

I love the sheen, and the little bit of color. This retails for $3 at drugstores, I get mine at Target.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I was kinda obsessed with Maybelline Baby lips ($3) for a long time. I still am....but I have chosen a favorite. Peppermint.

The purple and green tube is my lifesaver. I use it all day, everyday. I also use it as a night-treatment, and when my lips are so chapped they hurt. The peppermint oil in it calms me down and feels soothing. I love this thing.

I love it so much, here is a picture of it at the end of its's rope. I bought a new one, but I am peeved because the recent Baby Lips have a sticker on the cap instead of the clear tube with letters. Fail.

But I still love them both. And there you go, my HG chap sticks!

What are your HG chap sticks? I would love to hear!

FOTD: Going-Out Eyes

This is just a quick post showing you a look I created for my friend's birthday party. We went to a local piano bar and dressed up. I wanted to have an eye look that was fun for an all-girl outing.

This was just make-up, before I did my hair and all that, so excuse that. I wanted to do a darker eye and keep my face pretty simple.

What I Used:

Face: Bare Minerals foundation in Fairly Light

Cheeks: Wet n Wild blush in Mellow Wine

Lips: Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched

Eyes: Katy Perry false lashes in 'Oh, Honey!'
          Color Tattoo shadow in Audacious Asphalt
          Blended with Rimmel London Glam'eyes HD in Black Cab
          Mally Mascara in Black
          NYX noir eye liner in black

It was pretty easy to do, and I had a fab time that night. Any questions on the look, just ask!
