Chap Stick True Shimmer - Fruit Sherbet

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I have to admit I haven't really used a ChapStick product since my mother used to buy them along with my soap, toothpaste, etc at the drugstore for me...so it's been a long time.

However, delicious scent varieties + plus my beloved lip finish (shimmer) + inexpensive = a lip balm I want to try!

What's great about ChapStick True Shimmer is that this lipbalm is extremely subtle, giving a beautiful sheen and glow to my lips. When I looked closely, and in sunlight, I noticed the thousands of pretty, tiny flecks of silver micro-shimmer.

These balms go on a soft creamy white out of the tube and with finger application smooth out to a clearer shade. They don't add any additional color, but they work very well over a matte lip stain or lip stick if you are looking for more color for day. Used alone with a neutral lip pencil this can give a very nice "your lips but better" look.

They are not "frosty" or overly sparkly. Nice, pretty and natural lips with the added shimmer is exactly the look I got. Blended Fruit Sherbet was one of my favorite flavors - really authentic with it's creamy creamy mixed berry scent.

The balm was not chalky, waxy or gritty, and very moisturizing and comforting on my dry lips - especially while traveling on dry air planes, trains, etc. I found myself turning to this little gem often! My other favorite is the Tropical version, which is a yummy Pina Colada-like scented blend that will do if you're dieting or can't get to the real thing! (via Palacinka)

Urban Outfitters Nail Polish Line

First to recommend

Description

Let's talk about what caught my eye about these little beauties!

The bottles are short, rectangular with a soft black vinyl cap. The shades, (which are even more vibrant in person) were really unique. All the shades are just named by color and number. I picked up Blue 2, Blue 3, Blue 4 & Purple 2 (pictured, left to right above). They also had a wide variety of pinks, oranges and even a few pretty greens to choose from.

The series of blues ranged from a really pretty sky blue with a touch of violet (Blue 2), to a lovely periwinkle cream shade (Blue 3) to a navy with a touch of purple (Blue 4). I also loved the (Purple 2) shade which is a true purple cream. These are all creams formulas with no shimmer, glitter or iridescence.

The polish is a thin/medium consistency which flowed well on the brush, application was smooth and it gave great coverage. With two coats the shades were very close to what is seen in the bottle. The staying power is good for a polish of this price. I would say about 3-4 days with a daily top cop applied.

They are currently having a buy 2-for-$8 deal too! A single polish is $5 each.

I suggest you head over to your closest Urban Outfitters ASAP as many of the shades were going fast and, unfortunately, at this time they ARE NOT available on urbanoutfitters.com (they do offer their exclusive lines of lip gloss and colored mascara online. Happy Hunting! (via Palacinka)

Remington Leopard Printed Hair Dryer

First to recommend

Description

A few days ago while I was in Target I stumpled upon this new hair dryer from Remington's Cool Style Limited Edition line of hair tools. This super cute, lightweight leopard printed hair dryer is perfect for basic hair drying needs.

This new line is available exclusively at Target stores and online.

It's also a great gift idea for those that are young and just starting to do their own hair, or the young at heart! Remember, the gift of great hair is the gift that keeps giving... (via Palacinka)
