Review: Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer
Hey everyone! If you didn't know already, I received this product through Influenster in their Naturals VoxBox 2012. If you would see that post and know which products that I received, you can CLICK HERE. Since I received this lypmoisturizer, I have been using it nonstop and everyday for this review. Since I am halfway done with this, I thought that it would now be the perfect time to finally start my review.
WHAT:
Taken from the Infleunster website, "created with pure Swedish beeswax, organic shea butter and vitamins A and E for long-lasting, deep-penetrating moisture and lip care protection. LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™ helps moisturize, soften and protect your lips naturally." This lypmoisturizer is a natural lip balm to help keep your lips moisturized, which is one of the things that I love about this product. I just love how it feels on my lips and how it lasts a long time. Since using this product, my lips have actually felt softer.
PACKAGING:
This packaging is actually a bit different from your typical lip balm packaging. I am not sure if you can tell in the pictures but the tube is actually an oval shaper whereas your typical lip balm tube packaging is round and circular. LypSyl likes to describe the packaging as an "unique one-hand side allowing for quick application and the oversize application top ensures this ultra-light formula spreads evenly for better lip coverage." Because of the one-hand side packaging, its pretty big on my lips. Usually I would have to swipe on lip balm twice, one on my top lip and another application on my bottom lip but with this one-hand side packaging, all I have to do is put my lips together and swipe once. Also the typical lip balm tube is a twisty, where you would have to twist the bottom of the tube to get the product to come out but with the Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer, there is a cute bee on the side of the tube that you would have to slide up to get the product up and slide down to push the product down. Its actually a cute idea and concept. I think more brands should do something similar with this. I always get compliments on this lip balm whenever I have people over at my house and I have it on my coffee table for easy access or when I am out and about and have to pull this out of my purse. My friends and family members always think that the bee is cute and interesting that you just have to slide it either up or down to get the product.
CLAIMS:
1. Refreshes lips
2. Moisturizes lips
3. Heals and protects lips
4. Softens and heals lips
INGREDIENTS:
Taken from the packaging, "Mineral oil, Petrolatum, Paraffin Hydogenated Cocunut Oil, Ceresin, Beewas, Flavor, Certified Organic Butyrospermum Parkli (Shea Butter) Fuit, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate), and Bixa Ordellanna Seed Extract"
SCENT:
This lip balm does have a scent to it. It smells minty, which is pretty nice because its always nice to have minty scented lips in my opinion. Once its on your lips, you really can't smell it but if someone kisses or leans really close to you, they might be able to smell it.
WHERE TO BUY:
You can find this at retail stores like WalMart, WinnDixie, Bed Bath & Beyond, RiteAid, CVS, Walgreens and other locations To find out which locations sell this near you, you can CLICK HERE.
Overall, I really like this LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer and will be sad when I run out of it. I am already half through the tube and will probably be finished by the end of this month. It keeps my lips moisturized and really keeps them soft all day. Plus I love the minty smell and how it feels on my lips. It gives my lips a minty tingle sensation whenever I apply this. To me, it sort of feels like those plumping lip glosses, where they would make your lips tingle and give the appearance of plumper lips. Its not as strong of as a tingle compared to those lip glosses, so don't worry if your lips are overly sensitive. Besides the feeling that it gives to my lips, I really do love the cute packaging with the bee on the side. Once I am done with this, I do see myself repurchasing this. I also just found out that LypSyl also has this in Honey Berry flavor, which really sounds interesting!! If you are looking for a new lip balm to try out, I would definitely recommend this.

Swatches: Too Faced Romantic Eye Classic Eye Shadow Collection
Hey everyone! If you saw my previous post, then you would know that I was sucked into Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty sales and bought myself the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette when it was on sale for only $20 plus tax. At first, I wasn't sure about buying this palette but after checking out the swatches online, I couldn't help myself and just had to have it. I thought that this was just perfect for creating soft and feminine eye looks. This is definitely a palette that I could see myself using for my wedding day, if I was getting married. Haha! Hey, this palette is more geared towards brides since that is the whole theme of the palette with the names of the shadows being wedding related. Plus its great for people who are fair and light skin, like me!
Okay, onto the actual palette. If you didn't know already, these Too Faced palettes come with nine eye shadows and three cards to help the user create certain eye looks using this palette. I don't personally use the cards because I wish that they had included pictures of real eyes than drawings. Is that just me? This palette has mattes and shimmers.
The 9 shadows in the palette are:
♦ Soulmates - Shimmering Nectar, shimmery ivory
♦ Kiss the Bride - Pink Petal, matte light pink
♦ Bouquet Toss - Baby's Beath, matte cream beige
♦ I Do - Smokey Taupe, matte taupe with a hint of plum
♦ Cut the Cake - Heathered Mist, shimmery lavendar
♦ Honeymoon - Gilded Fern, shimmery gold
♦ Un-Veil - Smoldering Coal, matte dark brown
♦ First Dance - Midnight Orchid, matte dark purple
♦ Ever After - Spicy Chocolate, shimmery bronze
All-in-all, I am in love with the pigmention of these shadows. I love wearing soft eye looks and this palette is definitely great for that. Plus I love the names for the shadows. Even though this palette is more known for its soft shadows, there are also deep shadows in here that you can use to create smokey eyes. I usually don't do smokey looks since I have monolids and I feel like its a little too much for my lids but I love using the darker shades lightly in the outer corner. I can really see this palette being great for those who love soft looks to smokey ones and for those who are just girly.
QUESTIONS:
Have you seen the Too Faced Romantic Eye Shadow Collection?
Would you be tempted to buy this palette for yourself?

Spotted: Nail Art At Dollar Tree
Hey everyone! A few days ago, I had an appoitment at the dentist and decided to stop by Dollar Tree after. I wanted to see if they had any "new products" there and to get some ice cream for my brother since Dollar Tree is the only place that sells it. While I was there, I knew that I had to check out their makeup. I barely buy makeup at Dollar Tree, in fact I don't think I ever have bought makeup there but I heard that they now accept coupons and wanted to see if I could get any makeup for free and just pay tax. I did have some one dollar off coupons for Maybelline and L'Oreal products but all the products that I saw were old and released years ago so I didn't buy them. Even if I am just paying $0.10 for a product, its still not that worth it if its old makeup IMO.
While I was there, I did spot and buy some nail art. They had a bunch of nail art products. I did take pictures of all the ones that they had and did end up buying some. I haven't tried them out yet but for a dollar, you can't really beat that. They had a bunch of different ones ranging from glitters, beads, flakies, glitter bars, and so on.
If you are into nail art, I highly suggest checking out your Dollar Tree store because you do get a decent amount of nail art for a great price.
QUESTIONS:
Have you been to Dollar Tree before?
Are you into nail art?
Which ones would you be interested to buy?
