Fresh Treats for Your Lips

fresh Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 and regular Lip Treatment SPF 15

fresh Tinted Lip Treatments have become my new favorite go-to lip balms.  I just love how sheer and hydrating they feel on my lips.  They have a light lemon scent, are flavorless and have SPF 15, too.  I have both the colorless lip treatment and the Sugar Plum lip treatment which looks very dark but is a sheer plum shade.  See the swatch below for a good idea of what the color looks like.

Here is what Sephora's webpage says about this product: 

"Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 blends reparative oils and waxes with real sugar, a natural humectant, for delectable and dependable moisture. Sweet and tart blackcurrant oil, rich in plumping essential fatty acids, cushions the lips while antioxidant grapeseed polyphenols and vitamins A, C, and E provide protection from wrinkle-causing free radicals. It also provides essential, year-round protection from damaging UV rays."

That is sounds like a science experiment; but, the outcome is a lovely product that delivers great moisturization that makes lips look and feel great!

March Birchbox!

I just got my March Birchbox!  Once again, I was super excited to receive my prettily wrapped box of samples this month.  See my previous blog entry for more information about Birchbox.

Here's what came in my box:

• Alchimie Forever Kantic Mask -- moisturizing and brightening mask
• Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad -- self-tanning towelettes
• Marvis Classid Mint Toothpaste
• Pangea Organics Lip Balm
• Mini brow brush
• Free download of Oh Land single for iPod

I wasn't quite as excited by this month's picks, but I will try them.  Who knows, I may be surprised and really like something.  I did whip open the lip balm and test it immediately, as I am a total lip balm junkie.  It had a definite herbal scent of lavender and citrus to it; but I kinda liked it for something different.

Now, I must wait another whole month for my next Birchbox!

Beautiful Twists

Sexy Librarian Lip Conditioner, Sexy Silky Perfume Oil and Body Mist Set Seductive Vanilla Cupcakes

I just have to rave about this super cute set of body spray, perfume oil, and lip balm I got from Beautiful Twists.  I had to try the Sexy Librarian set because I am a librarian.  The whole set is just sooo yummy smelling, and I am loving how smooth the balm makes my lips.  The packaging of the products is really creative and fun.  Each lip balm or body spray has its own character including a story about the character.  These balms are ideal for the girl who can't live with out a lip balm in her purse.  Elladean on Esty creates of these amazing balms, etc.  I can't wait to try more of Elladean's lip balm creations!
