Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper - Clear

I am not a big fan of lip plumpers as they can sometimes be quite painful. I like my beauty products to provide me with a lot of gains and no pain regardless of the saying,  "No Pain, No Gain". The lip plumper is enriched with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B3 to moisturize lips, improve firmness while plumping lips. I didn't take a photo of the before and after because the tingly feeling was a bit unpleasant and I didn't notice results in the first use. However, I do regret not taking it because, after multiple uses, I did notice my lips becoming a bit plump. I don't think I will be getting rid of my other lip products but, I won't mind using this here and there.

Inc.redible Jelly Shot Lip Quencher - Ex Revenge

Ah, I forgot to take a picture of the actual product. But, inside the tube is a clear balm with a flower at the base. I saw this lip balm advertised and in magazines everywhere. I was excited to try but, I saw that it got mixed reviews online. Thankfully I got this deluxe sample in one of the Sephora kits I purchased.

They call the product a "lip quencher" but, I found it very drying. The product is enriched with avocado, vitamin E, and rice bran oil to promote hydration. I had to constantly reapply throughout the entire day. The cute flower detail was cute until you used the product to the end. The flower detail just scratches the delicate skin on your lips. I think the newest version might have been reformulated with a new scent but, the one I had smelled terrible.

I think this is one of those "hype" or "Instagram" worthy product but, it doesn't do much for your skin. While the lip quencher was $10, I don't think it was worth that. I think I prefer Jurlique, Fresh, Rosebud Perfume Co.,  Jack Black, and Caudalie. Even the regular store-bought lip balms beat out this dud. 

Yes to Carrots Acne Blemish Clearing Facial Towelettes

As everyone can agree, sometimes there are not enough hours in the day. The last thing I want to do after a long day is wash my face. That is why I like keeping a packet near my bed so my lazy butt doesn’t have to go far to clean my face before hitting the sack. The facial wipes are made with 97% natural compostable, FSC certified fabric is Petroleum, SLS, & Paraben Free. The wipes are packed with tomato extracts, red pepper, witch hazel and salicylic acid. The wipes promise to help fight acne blemishes and leaves skin clean and clear.  While I wasn’t using this wipes to prevent or clear my acne and blemishes, I didn’t notice they did much to alleviate my acne and blemish or clear my pores and blackheads. I really hoped that it would help clean the blackheads that has made home on my nose. This wipes didn’t wipe off my mascara cleanly so I usually have to follow up with makeup remover.

A no-frills [and cheap!] cleanser that should be a staple in everyone's beauty regime. It lather fairly well and does not leave the skin feeling dry. This oil-free cleanser contains triclosan, which is known for bacteria killing properties. I usually rotate this cleanser every other day with my traditional anti-aging ingredients enrich cleanser, since it is gentle on the skin without any harsh additives.
