Hey everyone, I'm back with another review for you all!
So I bought this little handy dandy bottle of dry shampoo like a few months ago and it just sat on my dresser. For some weird reason I started to use it this week and I've got some opinions on this one. So if you don't know what a dry shampoo is, it's a product in an aerosol can (normally) that sprays a powdery spray that absorbs oil in between hair washes.
 This one smells very very similar to laundry detergent and powder mixed together and it does linger so I find myself spraying perfume in my hair to mask the smell. It absorbs oil pretty well, to my surprise, but since I do have darker hair, it leaves an immense white cast and even after combing through my hair a few times, it is still extremely visible. The packaging isn't anything out of the ordinary and it is drugstore priced.

(P.S. I just found out about a site called haute look and it's amazing, they are a Nordstrom's sub company like nordstrom rack but they have amazing flash sales on brand name makeup and clothes. Like I just found Lorac trio's for 3 dollars. 3 DOLLARS!)

This week when I stopped by Target, this little product caught my eye. What is it you ask? Maybelline Baby Lips Electra Lip Balm. I ended up buying two because, well, why not? I got one in a bright pink and a bright orange color. The line is concentrated on neon colors mixed with the Baby Lips formula. Which makes a beauty addicts dream. 
(Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in the shade Oh!Orange)
The packaging is sleek with a black tube and a plastic cap. It reminds me of very beginner makeup that you would get in a barbie makeover kit because of the clear plastic cap, but that might just be my opinion.

 This product gives a very sheer orange tint that actually isn't that noticeable on the lips. However, It provides extreme moisture, like that puppy is just like vaseline. The pink shade however, is color up in your buisness. The pink is not for someone who is shy to color. I wouldn't call it a lipstick but more of a pigmented lip gloss finish. 

I feel that this product is worth the money (retails for around 5 dollars USD) because of the moisture but I wouldn't buy this expecting actual color payoff. 

Have you tried this product yet? If so, leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought of it.

In my weekly rounds to Clinique, I recently purchased one of their "Chubby Sticks" 
(Shade: Graped-Up)
Besides the hilarious names, I mean come on, Graped-Up, who else names their makeup so whimsically! It is advertised as a lip balm with a little color and that's exactly what it is. It provides a sheer wash of color, so you can really try any color without going too overboard. 
(Swatch on paper)
Graped-Up is a really beautiful mauve color with a natural finish on the lips. It doesn't become super glossy but it definitely isn't matte. The one bad thing is, this lip balm doesn't last at all and I find reapplying it every hour because it comes off so easily. It doesn't flake like I find the other similar ones do and it definitely does moisturize (intensely). 

(Shade: Graped-Up)
The packaging is pretty nice with a tube that actually shows the color of the product making it much easier to distinguish in-stores or in a drawer. It has metallic caps and writing but they're not reflective which is a let down. The retail value of this product is $17 USD. Overall, I think this product is absolutely worth the money.

I bought this nail polish from local H & M in a pale lilac shade (Beauty Bandi) It was only around 3 dollars so it would be around drugstore priced. The bottle had more packaging than product so that was dissapointing. The nail polish needs something under it, like white polish, otherwise it looks like a weird gray purple color instead of a vivid lilac. It also needs at least two coats but the drying time is pretty fast. The shade is comparable to Illimasqua in Wink or Essie in Lilacilism.

       So I recieved this lotion as a present a few days ago from one of my lovely friends and I thought I'd pop in and do a quick review. 
       So for anyone unfamilliar with Bath and Body Works products, they have 4 main sections: Candles, Soap, Hand Sanitizer and Lotion. They come in a variety of scents from Warm Vanilla Sugar to Japanese Cherry Blossom. Their lotions can be a hit or miss on both scent and the formula itself and they tend to arrange from around 9-12 USD for 236 mL of product which in my opinion is rather cheap due to the fact that they have a plethora of coupons at your disposal. 
          So this lotion retailed for 11 USD and claims to fortify with "powerful ingredients like super conditioning she's butter, fast absorbing Jojoba Oil and protective Vitamin E" It comes in the standard packaging which isn't amazing nor disappointing. It does absorb astonishingly fast (in seconds!) and the lotion is indeed very moisturizing. The scent, I believe, may not be everyone's cup of tea as it is slightly sweet with floral tones and berry undertones 

Rating: 10/10
