Burt's Bees - Tinted Lip Balm


Almost April !

Last month I talk about Burt's Bees, and like I said, I like this company very much, they make their products with natural ingredients and engage in environmental friendly practices !

Their Tinted Lip Balm comes in 9 different shades, I bought the Red Dahlia which is a dark red.

This is what I experienced:
I really like this product ! it has all the elements of a great lip balm with a touch of beauty! it goes on so smoothly, very moisturizing and it lasts a long time!
I love that I can use it both for lip balm and color, the only thing is that I wish the color would be a little bit stronger. It looks very natural and it feels great in my lips!
The price is higher than other lip balms, but I know I'm getting a great quality product made with all natural ingredients, plus the packaging is AMAZING ! (I'm obsessed with packaging design :)

The main before/after difference my lips are protected and moisturized with a touch of color!

ALMAY - Smart Shade Powder Blush


Hello everyone !!!

Today I'm going to talk about ALMAY Smart Shade Powder Blush, first of all, I love this brand! and I was SO impressed when they introduced Smart Shade line, makeup that instantly adjusts to your ideal shade! isn't that amazing? I remember when I used to buy makeup and I got the color all wrong so it was a waste of time and money ! but not anymore ! It's great to see companies like this innovating products all the time!

The Smart Shade Powder Blush comes in 3 different tones, Pink, Nude and Coral. You can choose the one that works best for you, I went for the pink one, because I like a daily natural look and I feel pink goes great for spring !

This is what I experienced:
One of the main things about Smart Shade is that these products are meant to look different on everyone, they adjust to each person, so keep that in mind !
It comes in a dual compact, the blush on top ,and on the bottom there's a mirror and a small brush, which makes it ideal to take it with you in your purse !
The powder is a little bit difficult to pick up at the first, I think it's because it comes very compressed, but after several uses it's perfect ! The color looks very natural in my face, it gives a delicate flush to my cheeks, depending on my mood, sometimes I like to apply a little bit more for a more dramatic effect, but otherwise it gives me soft natural look which I love.

The main before/after difference is that I have a natural look with blush that suits my skin!

CLINIQUE - Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm


Hello everyone !

I was out for a couple of days ! I'm so happy the spring is arriving !
Today I'm going to talk about the Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm from CLINIQUE, I'm always trying to find the perfect lip color and these were a great find!

This is what I experienced:
First of all I like very much that it comes in the form of a crayon is so convenient ! They come in 8 different shades,  I have the Chunkiest Chili color and I absolutely love it !
It goes on very well adding the right amount of color and it stays on for a good time, the texture is very creamy, the intense formula gives more color than the regular ones, the regular ones are more like a tinted lip balm, both of them are great, but I wanted a more dramatic look so I choose the Intense one!
I love their color selection!

The main before/after difference is that my lips feel moisturized with the right amount of color!

pd. If you buy any Clinique product from their website right now, they will give you 2 mini serums for dark spots for FREE!!! it's a 2-week supply !
