LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub Review

January 19, 2011

Gals that wear bright, pale, or bold lipsticks should really invest in a lip scrub. There is nothing worse than a “statement” lip or an “understatement” lip with flakes.  I waited too long before trying lip scrub products. Remember my Sara Happ review? Totally love the stuff. While at LUSH, I noticed these little lip scrubs and their little price tags. I had to give the LUSH Lip Scrub a try since I now love lip scrubs. Especially love them during the winter!

I chose LUSH Mint Julip… Continue reading | 7 Comments

Badger Natural Lip Tint & Shimmer Review

December 18, 2010

Badger Lip Tint and Shimmer Review

Weekly Cheap Secret:

Badger Lip Tint & Shimmer is a natural lip product with lots of organic fair trade cocoa butter. Each tube features two lip colors. All of the shades have a natural Opal Shimmer Lip Balm. The other end of the tube has a natural lip tint. I love tinted lip balms because they are so easy. I also have dry lips that require lots of TLC. I am a major fan of Badger

Everyday Minerals Coral Blush Review

I’m reviewing and swatching 6 Everyday Minerals Loose Mineral Cheek Colors in coral shades with various finishes.

E. Matte Blush in Weekend Getaway – A matte dusty peach for light to medium skin tones.

D. Matte Blush

LUSH Lip Tint Review in Double Choc & It Started With A Kiss

November 5, 2010

I have never tried LUSH lip balms or lip tints before. Like most LUSH products, I find reviews that love or hate them. You know that I love bold or dark matte lips but when I’m not wearing those shades (like to work), I go for lip tints. I am not a lip gloss person because lip gloss lasts like 2 minutes on my lips and I hate the sticky feel of lip gloss. Lip tints aren’t sticky and moisturize like a balm. So here’s my review of these natural lip tints in simple little tins.

Crazy Rumors Perk Natural Lip Balm in Mocha Review

September 14, 2010

Crazy Rumors Perk Lip Balm

Coffee and chocolate. Can you think of a more delicious combo? I can’t. Crazy Rumors Perk Lip Balm in Mocha is coffee with cocoa. It’s sweet and the fragrance/flavor is comforting. All of the line’s lip balms are flavored with stevia, leaving your lips as sweet as sugar. OK, not sugar, stevia. I love coffee. Could the aroma of this Crazy Rumors lip balm banish a caffeine headache? I don’t know, but it can’t hurt.

The formula is super smooth. I have… Continue reading | 7 Comments
