Back in high school and college, I was hooked onto lip balms, especially tinted lip balms. My makeup routine was winged eyeliner and tinted lip balm on the lips and on the cheeks - if I was feeling more festive. I went through lip balm so quickly! At some point during my late teens, I developed solar sensitivity and an allergic reaction to a mysterious ingredient found in most drugstore, more affordable, lip balms. I was diagnosed with solar sensitivity and allergy by a dermatologist after I had a terrible reaction during a beach outing - the sun exposure combined with whatever lip balm I was wearing caused my face to swell up and blister around the lips. The solar sensitivity start out aesthetically pleasing actually because it looks like I have a plump pout and then follows the redness, blistering, and burning pain, which lasts for several days. I'm still unsure what ingredient I'm allergic to, but my dermatologist advised me that it might be peppermint oil. Since then I have been very careful about what I put on my lips. I avoid lip product with peppermint oil and any other plumping ingredients. I apply sunscreen religiously and do not neglect the delicate skin around my lips. My day-time lip balms typically contain sunscreen. I have become a lip balm snob. I have no choice, I have to be really selective. Also, as someone whose love of tinted lip balms evolved into love of lipsticks, I have realized that lip care is so important for lipsticks to look and perform nicely. Today I'm sharing my review of a lip balm that wears really well as a light and thin, hydrating and protective base under lipsticks. </div>

Lypsyl Silky Swedish Beeswax Intense Protective Lip Balm is an extremely affordable lip balm ($2.99), available at Walmart and Meijer stores (in the U.S.). The first aspect of this lip balm that I find very unique is the wide oval design of the bullet and the cute bee button on the side to slide the product up. This horizontally oval bullet design is great for a more precise application. The second good feature of this lip balm is that it feels very cooling and refreshing as if you have just brushed your teeth. Fortunately for me, this balm does not contain peppermint oil. There is a cooling sensation, but no tingling, stinging, or plumping sensation. This balm contains a lot of richly hydrating ingredients that will create a protective barrier of moisture on the lips, such as coconut oil, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter. I must note though that the Lypsyl formula does contain Petrolatum* and Paraffin* akin to Vaseline (*these ingredients also contribute towards the emollient texture and moisture-protective-barrier property of the lip balm, but I realize that some people may choose to avoid these ingredients). The formula is silicone-free and paraben-free and this brand does not test on animals. Lypsyl's texture is light and thin - it does not feel heavy or tacky on the lips - and so it works nicely as a base for lipsticks. </div>

I know I have been MIA. I apologize for my absence, but it was for genuine
reasons. I appreciate that y’all have been patient with me. I was not in my

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I first
discovered the brand Kokie Cosmetics through posts on Instagram that showcased
the brand’s beautiful nail polish selection. I started following the brand on
Instagram and learned that their nail polishes – a select variety - are sold in
select Bed, Bad, and Beyond Harmon’s stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So I ventured out to my local BBB Harmon’s to check the Kokie Cosmetics
nail polishes, but the colors that I was interested in were not available at
the locations near me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This took Kokie
Cosmetics off my radar until this past Spring when the brand announced on
Instagram that they not only have nail polishes, but makeup and brushes too,
which would soon be releasing in select Walmart locations. Soon after their
announcement, Kokie Cosmetics displays were spotted at Walmart stores. Hence,
my hunt commenced!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">To find out if a
Walmart near you carries Kokie, visit the Kokie Cosmetics website, select the
Walmart tab, and enter your zip code.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is how I searched for a display near me rather than hopping from
store to store, wasting my time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
really appreciate that Kokie Cosmetics has this locator feature on their
website because unfortunately Walmart is so disorganized in my opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am a Target gal, no ifs or buts about it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Now let us
circle back to today’s video.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was able
to find a display right after it had been freshly set up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those of you familiar with the chaos that
is Walmart –especially its makeup isles, which sometimes look like a storm has
passed through – will appreciate the sanctity of a fresh untouched
display.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got to the apples first
y’all, fresh and juicy for the picking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Although I would
have liked to try several products, I limited myself to just the liquid
lipsticks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am not much of a base
wearer nor do I like to switch it up much – I stick to what works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The color products, like the eye shadows and
blushes, didn’t speak to me because they appeared better suited for lighter,
fairer skin-tones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, I am a
fledgling beauty blogger and invest my own money in purchasing products to test
and review so I cannot get carried away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Basically, I am a lipstick gal and that’s what triggered my love for
makeup artistry and blogging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So let us
take a look at what I picked up, shall we?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

out lips. Plus, it’s reapplication-friendly! Glides on as a cream and dries to

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me give it to y’all straight, if you have dry lips,
despite your efforts to keep them hydrated, and most (like 99%) matte liquid
lipsticks do not suit you, then the Kissable Liquid Lipstick formula is ideal
for you. The Kissable formula has a gel-cream hybrid texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s gel-like characteristic is what makes it
adhere well to the lips so initially it has that slight tackiness of a gloss
and you can feel it on your lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
takes a few minutes to set to a semi-matte finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although it is very comfortable as Kokie Cosmetics
claims, it is not transfer-proof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
don’t like your lipsticks to have sheen and prefer that they set completely
matte, then you will not be a fan of the Kissable formula.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Lip Poudre formula is difficult to explain. In fact, it
is somewhat “powdery” as its name implies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It has a thinner, more of a liquid-cream consistency in comparison to
the Kissable formula.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, once it
sets, it felt and looked gritty and enhanced every nook and cranny of my
lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved the Lip Poudre color
Duchess, but despite being such a pigmented mid-tone plummy mauve shade, it
looked dry, but not dry in the sense that it set fully matte. It still had
dimension to it, but appeared so textured.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think the Lip Poudre might work for someone who has really hydrated
and naturally plump lips, which a good half of us don’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t have dry lips, but I do have natural
lip lines, which I was just born with, and medium sized lips, so this kind of
powdery formula just doesn’t fit the bill for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Between the Kissable and Lip Poudre formulas, I prefer the
Kissable formula even though I like my liquid lipsticks to set to a smooth,
velvety matte, sheen-less finish.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There
are comfortable fully matte liquid lipsticks out there in the market,
especially because every beauty brand is coming out with their version of a
matte liquid lipstick.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Affordability.
Quality. Performance. Results. Natural. This is what we - the consumers - look
for when investing money in beauty products. Shampoos and conditioners are
staple products in our beauty regiments. Let’s be honest – they are simply not
sexy like a coconut sea salt spray to get those exotic beach waves or a new
shade of a hot-orange lipstick or bakery scented body butter. I mean I would
rather buy a new lipstick than the basic amenities, right! However, we just
cannot skip out on the shampoo and conditioner dynamic-duo because after all it
is a matter of personal hygiene at the very least if not a “me-time” pampering
sort of moment in the shower involving a soothing scalp massage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What
I am actually trying to say is that hair care is important. I think a good hair
day plays a role in seizing the day! We feel confident and put together when
our hair looks healthy and well maintained. Our hair frames our face and our
face is what people look at (or should be looking at) during a conversation. It
is no fun to spend $15-30 on a bottle of shampoo and/or conditioner and that
too multiple times a year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My
favorite affordable drugstore hair care brand is HASK. I was introduced to HASK
a little over a year ago when I was accepted to review their Bamboo line. In
fact, my husband is a loyal HASK user as well! He and I have purchased and
tried the Monoi Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, and Keratin Protein lines over the past
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have also introduced HASK to a
few of my close friends when they asked me for a recommendation of a “healthy,
natural, and affordable shampoo brand that actually works.” Now they are all
HASK fans and have thanked me for inspiring them to wear their hair naturally
(i.e., not heat-styled or loaded with styling products) and feel confident
about doing so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Recently,
I was given the opportunity to try one of the latest HASK lines – Coconut Milk
& Organic Honey Curl Care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doesn’t
that sound delicious, especially as we are amidst the summer season? It
literally sounds like a summery beach-time cocktail, but for our hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are a fan of the virgin coconut oil
scent, you are going to love this line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The coconut scent of this line is even more dominantly coconut than the
scent of the Monoi Coconut Oil line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
am glad that I was already using the HASK Coconut Monoi Oil shampoo and
conditioner (purchased myself from Bed, Bath, & Beyond Harmon’s) before I
was sent the HASK Coconut Milk and Organic Honey shampoo and conditioner for
review purposes because I think I am able to give a more informed review to
those of you contemplating which one of the two Coconut varieties to
purchase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
consistency of the HASK Coconut Milk and Organic Honey shampoo and conditioner
is thicker than the HASK Coconut Monoi Oil shampoo and conditioner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, once you massage the Coconut Monoi
Oil shampoo into your hair, it lathers into a heavier, more emollient and
creamier consistency than the Coconut Milk and Organic Honey shampoo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also noticed that I felt the need to use
more of the Coconut Milk and Organic Honey conditioner than the Coconut Monoi
Oil conditioner because the latter is more emollient and only two-quarter size
squirts of it is needed for my long (below-waist length) hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My
hair is naturally curly, voluminous, and frizzy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have dealt with frizzy hair since I grew
out my hair (from a no-fuss boy-cut) during my pre-teen, early adolescent
years. I rarely heat-style my hair and have never used bleach or lightener on
it so it is just naturally frizzy and constantly in major need of conditioning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love having long hair and don’t want to
compromise on the length of it because of the frizz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About five or six years ago, I started
getting keratin conditioning treatments annually, which helped eliminate the
unmanageable volume and frizz, and gave my hair a smoother, wavy look, and
allowed me to keep my hair long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, keratin conditioning treatments alone are not enough and I
would not recommend getting them too often… only as needed because one, you
don’t want your hair to become desensitized to the treatment (as with
over-doing anything) and two, it is quite an investment monetarily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though my stylist recommends using the
shampoo and conditioner that comes in the Keratin treatment product line, I
don’t because it is very expensive for the quantity you get and I prefer my
affordable, sulfate-free HASK shampoo and conditioners instead. Yes, indeed the
HASK line not only helps maintain the Keratin treatment by not stripping it,
but also adds to the conditioning my hair needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Personally,
I find that the HASK Coconut Monoi Oil shampoo and conditioner is better suited
for people with long, thick, voluminous, coarse, dry, and frizzy hair, while
the Coconut Milk and Organic Honey shampoo and conditioner is better suited for
people with short to medium length, fine, thin, brittle, and frizzy hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both lines of shampoo and conditioner provide
the needed moisture and hydration to combat the frizz and get a smoother,
shinier look to your hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some
people the effect of the Coconut Milk and Organic Honey might not be enough and
for others the effect of Coconut Monoi Oil might be too much so deciding which
one you think you might need, I will leave that up to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As for the Coconut Milk and Organic Honey
line’s curl care claim, I did not observe anything noticeable when comparing it
to the performance of the Coconut Monoi Oil line or any of the other HASK lines
I have tried previously (Bamboo, Argan, and Keratin).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

If the "liquid to ultra-matte" liquid lipsticks are <i>not</i> for you, then you must try out the new Bare Minerals Gen Nude Liquid Lipcolors line. Not only does this line focus on wearable neutral aka "nude" lip shades for all skin-tones, but a comfortable semi-matte liquid lipstick formula. These lipsticks dry down to a semi-matte finish once they have been on the lips for a good few minutes and maintain a smooth and creamy feeling on the lips. If you prefer a true matte liquid lipstick, then this is definitely not your cup of tea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They do transfer, very slightly, especially when freshly applied. These are easy to reapply and layer because they're indeed weightless. These do take longer than the average matte liquid lipsticks to dry down so initially you will notice a sheen for sometime. These shades did wear off a bit after I eating. I wish there were more deeper shade options than the shade Scandal, but perhaps the brand will expand the shade range in the future. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If y'all are looking for a comfortable liquid lipstick that is available in subtle, everyday-no-fuss kind-of-shades, then I would recommend these Gen Nude matte liquid lipcolors. One does not necessarily need all or even several of the shades because the line consists of only nudes - geared for different skin-tones/under-tones - thus far. As an added bonus, these smell delicious... like a sweet warm freshly baked dessert. If you like your lipsticks to smell like brownies, cupcakes, cookies, or the like, then you will be sold on these at first sniff. Honestly, don't judge me, but that was a major attraction for me personally. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My husband and I are planning a few getaways for the
upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays as well as our birthdays next
month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We recently moved to the West
Coast so this year we’re exploring places around the “Wild Wild West” –
starting off with Vegas Baby for tis’ the season to be jolly, then the Bay Area
to ring in the New Year with friends, maybe Maui/Hawaii in the near future to
have some cake and eat it too, and then off to India to visit relatives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Hubby has a severe case of Wanderlust at
the moment! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I don’t really fuss much over what I am going to wear whilst
on vacation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My fashion sense is driven
by comfort and weather rather than trends and occasions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it is cold, you’ll find me in a thick
sweater, leggings, and boots. If it is warm, you’ll find me in a button down,
leggings, and gladiator sandals. Basic. Boring. I know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the other hand, packing my skincare and
makeup bits is what causes me the greatest deal of stress – yes more than
remembering to take my phone charger. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I recently created a checklist of my current beauty
favorites that are travel–friendly and thought to share it with y’all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have sensitive, mildly acne-prone,
combination skin and don’t like to experiment with anything new before and
while traveling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before I talk about the products shown in the picture below,
I want to mention a couple items that are not shown in the picture below (image
1).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I have used these products
in the second and third picture below (images 2 and 3).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First up, brows!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For brows I recommend Anastasia Beverly Hills
Dip Brow Pomade and MAC Cosmetics Brow Set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In my experience, both of these brow products have excellent staying
power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Dip Brow Pomade does seem
like it would be a bit of a hassle to carry the brow brush as well as the
little tub of the DBP, but it is worth it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Personally, I think well-groomed brows and generous sunscreen
application are the two absolutes any day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

makeup wipes (gentle enough to use on the face, eyes, and lips) and soothing
sheet masks. Makeup wipes are a quick fix product. Sheet masks help to replenish,
soothe, hydrate, and calm your facial skin after it has been through extensive sun
exposure, pollution, temperature change, etc. while traveling. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Travel sized or deluxe sample sized beauty products,
cream-based products, palettes with multi-purpose options, multi-tasking
products, and liquid lipsticks are product categories that are best for
traveling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This way you can keep your
toiletries/beauty bag light and in compliance with airline baggage
restrictions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I once missed a flight

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, I want to share what I usually use during the day while on vacation. Hubby and I plan to visit Vegas for only a couple of days. In case you're also thinking about taking a trip to Las Vegas, here is a helpful <a href="https://www.vegas.com/">website</a>. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the day we want to take a tour of the Grand Canyon and then at night we hope to see a show and visit Casinos (not for gambling, but mainly to see the architecture and lights). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As you can see in the picture below, I have not used a lot of products. My focus here are well groomed brows and pure sunscreen (preferably SPF 30 or higher). I am <i>not</i> using anything heavy like foundation, concealer, etc. I have used a bit of cream blush on the cheeks to add some color and natural flush to the face. I recommend using the Bite Beauty Multi-stick in Brioche</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> (pictured above in image 1)</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> for a pop of natural color on the cheeks and even on the lips if you would like. On the lips, I have used the Jack Black Lip Balm with SPF 25 </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">(pictured above in image 1). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lastly, you want to make sure that you can quickly cleanse and refresh yourself after a full day of recreational activities and before you head out for the night. "Double-cleansing" (i.e., makeup removal plus normal cleansing) twice a day can be too abrasive for some skin-types, leading to dehydration and acne breakouts. </span></div>

After you have cleansed your face and had a refreshing shower, you can relax and get glam for your night out. Makeup details for the picture below (used for image 3, also pictured in image 1): Belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb (moisturizer), Cane + Austin Mattifying Primer with SPF 50 (primer + sunscreen), Hourglass Vanish Foundation - Warm Beige (base), Nars Creamy Concealer - Ginger (base)(not pictured in image 1), Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Matte Sculpting Palette (bronzing and contour), Colour Pop Highlighter - WISP (brow bone and cheek bone), Urban Decay Eye Shadow - Riff (eye crease), Touch in SOL Metallist Liquid Foil and Glitter Shadow Duo - Eldora (eye-lid), It Cosmetics Super Hero (mascara), MAC Cosmetics Nutcracker Sweet Copper Face Compact (highlighter and blush), Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade - Chocolate, MAC Cosmetics Brow Set - Quite Brunette, Pixi Beauty Makeup Setting Spray, and Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick in Black Rose (would not recommend this particular shade as it is messy and high-maintenance, instead see options in image 1 above).<br />
<br />
Liquid lipsticks options (pictured in image 1): Give Me Glow Cosmetics - Glampire for vampy lips, Cryptic Cosmetics - Rose Burial for a unique rosy red for the Holidays, or Lorac Pro - Sienna for a trendy 90s cinnamon brown lip. <br />
<br />
Other than my fingers, which I used for moisturizer and highlighter, I only needed four applicators to complete this glam makeup look: beauty blender, a fluffy crease brush, and two angled blush brushes (unless you are savvy and able to use the same one for contour, bronzer, and blush). </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The Dose of
Color liquid lipsticks are primarily available and sold on the brands
website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other online retailers, such as
Naimie’s and Ricky’s NYC, do carry the Dose of Colors brand, but might not
necessarily carry the entire Dose liquid lipsticks line. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given that Dose of Colors is an indie-brand,
its products are in stock periodically and go out of stock quite easily due to
popular demand and limited stock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Following the brand via a social media platform or signing up for an
e-newsletter is the best way to keep a check on new releases and
re-stocks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Dose of Colors liquid
lipsticks cost $18 (USD).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would advise
not to purchase this brand via websites such as Ebay or “unauthorized sellers”
because I have heard that such popular, in-demand, yet small-scale brands’
products are easily copied and sold as fakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dose of Colors runs promotions (free shipping or 20% off) once in a
while, on certain national US holidays, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or
Memorial Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The Dose of Colors
liquid lipsticks shades – Mood, Cork, Desert Suede, and Chocolate Wasted – are
richly pigmented, applying fully opaque in a single swipe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the exception of the shade Cork, I did
not feel the need to layer a second layer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cork required a little layering/building up, but only in the center
portion of the bottom lip. I’m not sure why, but Cork was slightly sheer
(unnoticeable really), despite layering, in the inner center portion of the
bottom lip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think this was only
noticeable because I was testing it out and observing it close up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was impressed that Desert Suede, despite being
a light neutral greige-taupe shade, showed up fully opaque in one swipe, single
layer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was also pleased with Mood and
Chocolate Wasted, despite being such deep, bold, vampy shades, applied opaque
in one coat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Application, Texture, & Comfort <o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The Dose of
Colors liquid lipsticks have a lightweight, non-tacky, creamy consistency. The
formula is not runny or thick and sets within a couple seconds, but setting
time is “unnoticeably” slower if you layer a lip balm underneath. As you might
have already assumed after reading my thoughts on pigmentation, these shades
apply like a dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually light shades
and dark shades are difficult to apply because they might need (1) layering to
avoid patchy-ness, streakiness, and to achieve a polished evened out look and
(2) precision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither was an issue
here! As I already mentioned above, a single swipe gave rich, opaque color
payoff. The design of the applicator is fantastic – one of my favorite aspects
of this brand of liquid lipsticks. It is a doe-foot applicator that is angled
such that it cups the curvature of your lips. The only shade that lagged in
application, that too only very slightly, like negligibly, is Cork. Its pigment
didn’t adhere well to the inner center portion of the lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">These liquid
lipsticks do set down to a full matte finish. However, fortunately these shades
are not ultra dry matte in texture, such as Anastasia Beverly Hills or Colour
Pop’s Ultra Mattes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I prefer liquid
lipsticks these days to any other lipstick formulation because they set to a
velvety matte finish, but I don’t care for the ones that dry down to such an
extent that my lips look very wrinkly and de-hydrated as if I’m recovering from
flu and soar chapped lips due to cold soars or frostbite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a fine line though!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find this the toughest aspect of a liquid
lipstick review because I want to make sure I describe the texture just
right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although these set to a full
matte finish, my lips do not feel uncomfortable, heavy, tight, or parched.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, my lips look matte, but not dry
or wrinkled. In my experience, these shades fortunately do not abnormally
exaggerate natural lip lines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are
prone to or suffering from chapped lips, I would advise you to prep your lips
and wear lip balm underneath, but generally speaking I did not find these Dose
of Colors shades to be drying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Lastly, I want
to make an observation, which you might be wondering about if you have seen my
previous/first Dose of Colors liquid lipsticks review.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first two shades I tried from Dose of
Colors were Truffle and Stone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My review
of Truffle and Stone is contrast to my review of Mood, Cork, Desert Suede, and
Chocolate Wasted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I wasn’t such a
curious cat for lipsticks (to put things politely because I cannot admit that
its an addiction) and it wasn’t around my birthday, I might not have taken the
risk to purchase these four new shades when they released after the jaded
experience I had with Truffle and Stone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, a birdie on Instagram told me that it was rumored that Dose of
Colors tweaked its formula with the latest shades – Mood, Cork, Desert Suede,
and Chocolate Wasted. I can confirm that I felt a difference! At first I
thought maybe the formula was not tweaked, maybe formula just varies with
different types of colors. However, Desert Suede is a light shade, like Truffle
and Stone, but I love and prefer Desert Suede’s formula version.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now if Dose of Colors did improve its formula
– as in it looks and feels less drying – I’m not sure if Truffle and Stone have
been be re-formulated prior to their re-stock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I imagine the formula gets upgraded across the board, but I don’t have
first hand information regarding the manufacturing process here so I can’t comment.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Honestly, I
don’t like to eat with lipstick on, especially if the colors are as bold and
pigmented as Mood or Chocolate Wasted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If I don’t eat, these shades stayed in place. Chocolate Wasted wears off
a tad in the center of the lips just by talking. I’m experiencing this as well
as feathering in the inner corners of my lips with very dark colors generally.
Chocolate Wasted doesn’t feather though, which tends to happen more with the
dark burgundy, wine, and plum shades I have tried (i.e., Kylie Cosmetics liquid
lipstick in Kourt K). I have tried to concentrate a lip liner in the inner
corners before applying a liquid lipstick on top, but it doesn’t make a
difference for me personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I have tested
the staying power of Cork while eating Ramen and Chocolate Wasted while eating
one breaded chickpea ball (kind of like mozzarella sticks, but with chickpeas
as filling instead of cheese and not as greasy or deep-friend).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously, the Ramen soup was liquid and a
tad oily and I dabbed my lips with a napkin a few times so Cork completely wore
off in the middle portion of my lips. I wiped Cork off completely (using a
small oil-based eye makeup remover pad) and re-applied it; wiping it all off
wasn’t really necessary before re-application, just more of my personal
preference. Although the chickpea ball was not greasy, Chocolate Wasted wore
down slightly in the center portion of my lips – it wore off enough that I’d
feel like re-applying if I were going to a dinner with friends, but not if I was
just stepping out for coffee with the Hubby. Keep in mind that if you layer a
lip balm underneath, the liquid lipstick will not be transfer-proof and it will
wear off quicker as it transfers onto stuff, like a teacup or straw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the video you will see that Desert Suede
transferred onto my hand quite a bit and that happened before I had prepped my
lips with lip balm before wearing that specific color. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipsticks are available on the ABH website as
well other retailers – Macy’s, Ulta, and Sephora (online and in-stores).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my opinion, the most convenient way to buy
these is online because the popular colors (like those swatched in my video
above) are usually out of stock in stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These liquid lipsticks retail for $20 (11 oz.) a pop. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The colors
that I am reviewing today are Stripped, Crush, Dusty Rose, Kathryn, Madison,
Ashton, Sepia, Veronica, and Trust Issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I want to point out an observation – I think Anastasia Beverly Hills has
released its liquid lipsticks in three batches thus far (Spring 2015, Summer
2015, and Spring 2016) and with each batch the formula of the liquid lipsticks
has changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re interested in
swatches and review of any of the liquid lipsticks from the very first release
(Spring 2015), you can find that on my channel as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In today’s video, we will focus on the colors
from the second (Summer 2015 -these were out of stock for the longest time and
were recently restocked) and third (Spring 2016) releases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As for the Summer 2015 shades that were
recently restocked, I am not sure if the formula changed with the restock. I’m
assuming the formula did change with the restock because these colors came back
in stock after over a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">All of these

excellent despite the changes in the formula.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I have the
older version of Sepia, Veronica, and Trust Issues, so with these three colors I
prefer taking some product off of my applicator and then adding more,
specifically to the center portion of the bottom lip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These three shades are thicker, creamier, and
take longer to dry/set, especially in the center portion of the bottom
lip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I am only
going to discuss the application and texture of the latest release.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Overall, the latest ABH liquid lipstick
formula is ultra-matte (a fully dry matte).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I invested in a MAC Prep and Prime Lip - a lipstick base - to wear
underneath these liquid lipsticks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
first moisturize my lips with Jack Black’s lip balm and then follow up with
MAC’s Prep and Prime Lip before I apply these liquid lipsticks. Despite
applying a lip balm and a lip base, these liquid lipsticks set fairly quickly
(and very quickly on bare lips).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I would
not recommend layering more than a second coat even though the latest formula
is thinner (thin yet creamy, not runny) than the prior two formulations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The colors Stripped and Crush did not suit my
skin-tone and natural lip color and shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don’t suffer from chapped lips, but my lips are naturally
wrinkly/pouty. I don’t have plump and smooth lips so I have to be careful with
lighter shades, especially lighter shades in a super dry/matte formula.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both Stripped and Crush settled into my lip
lines and made my lips look very parched and powdery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Honestly, I
like the ABH liquid lipsticks more for the color selection than the formula.
The formula (latest one) on its own is not comfortable and I have to wear a lip
balm and priming base underneath to make them suitable for my lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I mentioned above, I don’t have abnormally
dry lips (unless I’m feeling unwell or de-hydrated or am sunburned) and I do
exfoliate and moisturize my lips regularly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The ABH
liquid lipsticks have good staying power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As you saw in the video, I rubbed my lips and kissed my hand and there
was no noticeable transfer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, if
you eat something that is very wet, liquid in consistency, or greasy
(oil-based), then these will definitely wear off, especially in the center
portion of the bottom lip. I do appreciate that these liquid lipsticks don’t
wear off in a messy way, like transferring onto your chin or teeth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overall, the truth is that I am a fan of the colors here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, Madison is my absolute favorite
purple lip color in the whole wide world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The only caveat is that you must be an avid enthusiast of the
ultra-matte lips trend and willing to put in the extra prep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipsticks are available on Smashbox’s website and at
other Smashbox retailers, such as Sephora, Nordstrom, and Macy’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These liquid lipsticks are a smidge higher in
price ($24/0.13oz) than some of the other mid-range high-end liquid lipsticks,
like Kat Von D ($20/0.22oz) or Anastasia Beverly Hills ($20/0.11oz).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Personally,
I don’t pay much attention to product <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">quantity</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course the lipstick price has to be within
my budget and that is why I wait to make my purchases during sales and
promotions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I purchased my Smashbox
Always On Liquid Lipsticks during their Friends and Family sale event (25% off
for a purchase over “x” amount).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
care more about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">quality</i> than
quantity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would rather have one
excellent quality lipstick costing $20 rather than four $5 lipsticks that are
not as good or don’t meet my standards/expectations from a lipstick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipsticks (*6 of the 8 shades I tried) are richly
pigmented and have excellent full-coverage color-payoff in one swipe across the
top and bottom lip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is demonstrated
in “Part 1: Demo and Swatches” portion of my video.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
*I
did find that the shades Thrill Seeker and Girl Gang applied sheer and appeared
less creamy (more watery) in comparison to the other six shades I own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I layered Girl Gang three times and was able
to do so as long as I applied each layer patiently and gently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Girl Gang felt too heavy once it
dried down to the extent that I did not feel comfortable wearing it for longer
than half an hour or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thrill Seeker
is not as sheer as Girl Gang, but it also did not layer well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipsticks (*5 of the 8 shades I tried) applied
beautifully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These lipsticks are creamy,
yet lightweight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They don’t feel thick
and heavy or thin and watery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A little
amount of this product goes a long way and knowing this is key to a clean and
effortless application.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
These
lipsticks set quickly so it is a good thing that you only need a single swipe
of product, but feel free to layer them if you need to tweak or perfect any
areas because I found that applying a second layer once the first layer has set
does not disturb the first layer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
*The
only three shades that did not apply evenly and required a lot of patience and
manipulation to look opaque and somewhat presentable were Thrill Seeker (I
completely gave up on this one), Girl Gang, and Shockaholic (listed in the
order of most troublesome to slightly troublesome).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thrill Seeker appeared patchy and streaky,
uneven, and settled into my natural lip lines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I would not recommend this shade for people who do not have fully plump
smooth baby lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Girl Gang on the other
hand is not streaky, but it is sheer and need layering, which can make it look
patchy if one is not meticulous with the layering process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shockaholic is opaque and does not need
layering, but it settles into and exaggerates the lip lines significantly once
it dries down to a matte finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Shockaholic doesn’t look patchy or streaky per se, rather it breaks down
into the lip lines and clings onto any dryness or natural texture on the
lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
applicator has a user-friendly, cupped tear drop shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The teardrop applicator’s pointed tip is
great to navigate across the curvature and shape of lips. However, one major
point I want to highlight about this applicator is that it picks up more
product than you need (or at least that I need) for a single application so be
sure to wipe some of the product back into the tube if you’re worried that it
will go to waste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I end up with too much
product on my lips I use my finger to smoothen it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we are on the subject on the
applicator, lets talk about the packaging as it is connected to the
functionality of the applicator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also,
see the Comfort and Longevity section below to know more about the Texture
aspect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Although
the outer design of the Smashbox liquid lipsticks is aesthetically pleasing
–simple, sleek, petite, and chic – the opening of the tube is the part that I
have a slight issue with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I do
understand the intention behind the design of the opening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The opening of the tube is “small” meaning
that when I put the applicator back into the tube sometimes the applicator gets
stuck, slightly bent, and I have to use slight pressure to push the applicator
back into the tube.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I mentioned above
in the Application and Texture section, the applicator picks up more product
than what I need so as I am putting the applicator back into the tube, the
excess product coats the tube opening and eventually collects in that area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I know putting product back into a tube
like that (after being exposed to my lips and air) seems unsanitary even though
I cleanse my lips before applying my lip products and don’t share my liquid
lipsticks, especially using its own applicator, with anyone for hygienic
reasons. I am sort of in a dilemma! I don’t want to waste the excess amount
that the applicator draws out so I have started wiping the excess off and
pushing it back into the tube <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">before</i>
I put any of the product on my lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
One
of the reasons why the Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick formula is my current
absolute favorite liquid lipstick formula is because of how comfortable they
feel on the lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I mentioned above,
only a few shades felt uncomfortable, either because of the way they dried down
or needed more than a couple of light layers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This liquid lipstick formula sets to fully dry (non-drying) matte finish
quickly, like within a few seconds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
fact it dried down to a matte finish so quickly that I wasn’t able to film a
segment demonstrating how the lipstick looks when its “freshly applied” as in
still wet or in the process of setting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipsticks set to a fully dry matte finish and yes your lips may look a bit extra “pouty” to put it delicately with the lighter and brighter shades, but what I mean to say is that ultra matte liquid lipsticks, especially lighter and brighter shades, do show your lip lines if you have them. But! But! Wait for it… They <u>DO NOT</u> make your lips look parched or dehydrated or unnaturally dry or unattractively wrinkly if you know what I mean. <o:p></o:p></div>

This formula is transfer-proof and kiss-proof as I show you in my video
towards the end while I am modeling the shade True Grit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course if you are consuming something
greasy, oily, and liquid and your lips are in constant contact with something
greasy, oily, and/or liquid, the product will break down and begin to wear off
in the area of immediate contact (i.e., the inner center part of your bottom
lip).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
*I
did not mention the other shades because I did not wear those long enough to
test them for their staying power. I
docked .5 from True Grit only because it is a very dark color so it does not
wear off as “elegantly” as it lighter mates, but I will note that it is easy to
reapply/fix-up. None of the shades I
tested budged off my lips unless I consumed a proper non-dry meal (like Indian
or Thai food) and reapplication/touch-up is easy. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As
I mentioned in my previous post, skin care and hair care is fundamental – it is
the actual foundation you need to work on before mastering the techniques of
crème contouring or the newly coined term for an out of this world glow,
strobing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all have different skin
concerns – sensitive, dry, oily, acne-prone, dull, aging, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aging is inevitable, but we can definitely
try to slow down the process and alleviate the harsh effects of environmental
stressors on our skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
word detox really appeals to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A skin
detox or body detox sounds so ideal, like a fresh page in a brand new notebook
or the smell of a newly purchased car or home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I like my face to feel cleansed, brightened, and moisturized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whenever someone asks me about my complexion,
whether it is oily or combination or sensitive?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I tell them that it is not oily, rather it is dewy and I like it that
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want my face to feel dewy, yet
look smooth, clean, and bright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I worry
that as I get older, my pores might get bigger and create texture on my
face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For now I don’t have severely
large pores, but I do have pores on my nose and surrounding area, along with
white heads on my nose due to my combination skin and heavy use of sunscreen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I would like to share with y’all my review of the </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014PJLKJ6"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">VALENTIA Skin

</span>Before I go into my review, I would like to share the following
information so y’all can familiarize yourself with this clay mask, its
properties and benefits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The VALENTIA Skin
Detoxifying Clay Mask claims to draw out impurities, improve tone, reduce pore
size, and firm and strengthen skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Additionally, the mask is alcohol free as well as paraben free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And just wait till you see the list of
key-ingredients! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">First
thing you will most likely notice when you open your tub of the VALENTIA mask
is its scent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would describe the scent
as herbal and mildly medicinal, but not chemical-like or indicative of an
overwhelming amount of artificial fragrance (the only fragrance mentioned in
the ingredient’s list is cranberry fragrance). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Second,
its texture is quite unique and different from any other clay mask that I have
tried. It has a gelatinous and creamy hybrid consistency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would recommend stirring the pot with a
brush before application and then applying the mask with a flat foundation
brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mask contains blue
beads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although these blue beads are
visible, you won’t feel them on your face as you apply or remove the mask.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is good because some skin care experts
assert that it is not good to use physical (non-chemical) abrasive, gritty, or
granular agents (present in many facial scrubs) on the face because such
abrasive exfoliation can lead to dry skin, broken capillaries, etc. In fact,
the VALENTIA’s clay mask actually felt soothing and slightly cooling upon
application – almost as if I had applied calamine cream on my face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Third,
this mask dries down quickly, but not so fast that you don’t have time to apply
it nicely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t worry! VALENTIA
suggests leaving the mask on for 15-20 minutes or until mask dries and I would
go with the latter part of this instruction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On me this mask dried within 10 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I noticed it crack a bit on my forehead, I knew that it was time to
wash it off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fourth,
this is the first clay mask - of all the umpteen clay masks I have tried - to
wash off my face effortlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It came
off so easily with a few splashes of lukewarm water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t have to scrub or rub or use a towel
to remove any residue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lastly,
now that y’all know my skin concerns, let me share my results… the major result
I noticed after washing this mask off of my face was that my pores appeared
somewhat <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">blurred</i>, meaning that it
lived up to its claim of reducing pore size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I mentioned in my intro, I don’t have severely large pores, but I do
have average pores (filled with sebum) on my nose!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yuck! Who else dislikes magnification
mirrors? Right! This mask definitely made my face feel cleansed. I was also
pleased to learn that unlike many other detox clay masks, the VALENTIA detox
clay mask did not make my skin feel dry or tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t feel the need to bathe my face in
moisturizer as I have felt after using certain other scrubs and masks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe this mask is gentle enough to be
used once every week, of course with user discretion and only if it suits your
skin type and skin care regiment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As
an added note, I would like to mention that I tried the VALENTIA clay mask on
my mom-in-law and she was impressed with her results as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mom-in-law’s complexion is a contrast to
mine. Her concerns are dry skin, uneven tone, and dullness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She appreciated that the mask did not
dehydrate her already dry face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She felt
that her face felt soft to the touch and brighter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As
I wrap up my review, I would like to share my thoughts on some of the clay
masks I have previously tried in comparison to the VALENTIA clay mask ($25 for
4 oz.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The clay masks I have previously
used are Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask ($26 for 3.4 oz.),
Caolion Premium Hot & Cool Pore Pack ($30 for 1.12 oz.), Sephora Collection
Mud Mask Purifying and Mattifying ($20 for 2.0 oz.), Glam Glow Supermud
Clearing Treatment ($69 for 1.2 oz.), Glam Glow Tinglexfoliate Treatment ($69
for 1.7 oz.), and Boots Botanics Clay Mask ($9-10 for 3.5 oz.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Glow masks are very expensive!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Tinglexfoliate mask has an amazing “brightening” effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, its brightening effect is more
noticeable than VALENTIA’s brightening effect, but this effect is also
temporary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>VALENTIA’s brightening effect
is more comparable to the Supermud Clearing mask’s brightening effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only are the Glam Glow masks expensive,
they don’t have a good, not even reasonably good, shelf life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly, my Glam Glow masks, especially the
Tinglexfoliate one dried out very before I had even got through half of the
smallest size tub ($22 for 0.5 oz.). Ouch! Although the Supermud Clearing mask
did not dry out, the product broke down and the oils separated out from the
base (other ingredients).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Tinglexfoliate mask is probably the better of the two Glam Glow masks in
brightening and removing impurities, but it dries out so fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both Glam Glow masks are a pain to wash
off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to use a towel at times to
remove chucks of the mask stuck onto my face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I also feel like the Glam Glow masks had no “wow” effect on my pores, so
it seems as though my money was wasted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I am
always weary of experimenting with hair and skin care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot believe I am saying this because I
am so attached to my lipstick and blush collection, but makeup - in my humble
opinion - is not a necessity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Makeup is
an accessory or luxury, which enables us to accentuate our natural features for
the better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, hair and skin care
involves our health and reflects upon our personal hygiene.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Healthy hair and skin is the root or
canvas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, blush is not going
to look appealing if one’s skin is dehydrated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hair and skin <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">care</i> products
are a staple in our daily regiment, hence a necessity and long-term
investment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Moreover,
it is also expensive to experiment with hair and skin care products. For
example, a high-end brand’s 8 to 12 OZ. bottle of shampoo can cost anywhere
from $15-30 and if you don’t up liking the shampoo, then you end up with a
glorified $15-30 ‘soap-for-random-household-cleaning’ at the best and have to
go through the tedious process of finding another “good” shampoo, purchasing
and re-risking the $15-30 until you’ve found the perfect match for your hair
and skin type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For this reason, I am really
excited to share my review of the new <a href="http://haskbeauty.com/products/bamboo-oil">Bamboo Oil</a> collection by <a href="http://haskbeauty.com/products/bamboo-oil">HASK</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
HASK
is available at many retailers, such as ULTA Beauty, Target, and Harmon’s (Bed,
Bath & Beyond).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First off, let me
tell you the prices and knock your socks off!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>HASK Bamboo Oil shampoo and conditioner costs $5.99 each for 12 OZ (Yes,
I did say 12 OZ.). This collection includes Bamboo Styling Oil, which comes in a
travel-friendly vial size, with 0.62 OZ. for $2.99 as well as a Deep
Conditioner, which comes in a packet, with 1.75 OZ. for $2.99. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do wish the Bamboo Oil deep conditioner came
in a tube form like the other HASK deep conditioners. I have noticed that HASK
is on sale occasionally (buy one, get one 50% off or buy two, get one free) at
ULTA and Harmon’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, the
“drugstore / non-prestige” ULTA coupon ($3.50 off of $15) is applicable on HASK
products at ULTA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So pro point number
one is that HASK will not be a hard hit on your wallet and it is easily
accessible (at least for US residents).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

HASK’s
Bamboo Oil collection is part of its Exotic Oil Hair Collection, which is free
of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, drying alcohol, and artificial
colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you need strengthening
(Bamboo Oil), color protection (Kalahari), clarifying (Charcoal), nourishing
(Monoi Coconut Oil), smoothing (Keratin Protein), or repairing (Argan Oil),
HASK has an option for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow, right?
I’ll take one of each, please and thank you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In fact, HASK’s very reasonable drugstore price point, while maintaining
quality and ingredients akin to high-end brands, makes it possible for someone
who wants to buy three different shampoos or conditioners for three different
hair care concerns and desires variety and rotation of products.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I am
not the only one who fell in love with HASK’s Bamboo Oil shampoo and
conditioner, but also my mom, hubby, mom-in-law, and a friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My HASK shampoo and conditioner moved from
one bathroom to the other, family members waiting their turn to shower (even
though we have more than one bathroom) because everyone desired to pamper-wash
their hair with the Bamboo Oil shampoo. “Hey! I’m going for a shower now.
Meesha where’s that shampoo… the HASK one!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My mom loved the shampoo because she said it made her hair look very
shiny and smooth, but not greasy or weighed down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hubby enjoyed using the HASK shampoo
because he experienced less hair fall (he uses gel or pomade occasionally which
makes his hair dry/brittle and more vulnerable to breakage) and he found it
very effective in removing dandruff (he has a minimal amount, nothing intense);
he said his hair felt clean even if he washed it every other day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My friend, who has thick, curly/wavy, and
naturally frizzy hair, like mine, found it made her hair “very soft” and she
added that it smells great. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
A
brand that can maintain excellent quality and effectiveness, while offering a
practical price range is remarkable in my perspective as a consumer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I first used the shampoo, I felt like I
was washing my hair with a luxury, salon brand shampoo. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I Goggle searched the shampoo’s price, I
was expecting it to cost anywhere between $15-30. I was shocked by the actual,
rather affordable price. I noted that I did not have to use much in amount, as
in not more than one palm-full (palm of your hand) of the shampoo and
conditioner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mind you, my hair is thick,
voluminous, wavy, and long - touching my hips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For me using three palm-full of shampoo to get a nice lather or cover my
hair in conditioner is not surprising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Affordability
aside, one of the main features I look for in a shampoo and conditioner is that
they must be sulfate-free and alcohol-free. I get my hair keratin-treated once
or twice in a calendar year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of
spending money on heat tools or endless number hair styling products such as mousse,
gel, hairspray, crème, serums, etc., I invest in keratin conditioning
treatments (not one that straightens or relaxes, but conditions and improves
health of hair).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order for me to
maintain the effect of the keratin treatment in my hair, I have to use an
excellent shampoo and conditioner that not only maintains the presence of this
treatment, but also adds to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Even
though the keratin conditioning treatment is the fundamental reason for the
smooth and frizz-free healthy texture of my hair, I still experience minimal

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I
don’t want y’all to think that I like the HASK Bamboo Oil line only because my
hair is in a healthier condition due to the keratin treatment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mom, hubby, and friend love the HASK
Bamboo Oil shampoo and conditioner as much as I do and they have never had a
keratin or conditioning treatment done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In fact, my mom has straight, somewhat oily, and thick, yet weighed down
hair, while my hubby has normal straight hair, and my friend’s hair is more
like mine (without the keratin treatment).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So five people here, with different hair-types and concerns, all enjoyed
using HASK and would repurchase it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
two favorites from the Bamboo Oil collection are definitely the shampoo and deep-conditioner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find my results
comparable (dare I say the same if not better) to my experience with popular,
high-end, pro-salon brands such as Pureology, Sexy Hair, Alterna, and Living
Proof and even a drugstore favorite, such as OGX.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">The Bamboo Shine Oil in the vial is nice to take on-the-go in case your hair is feeling dry or frizzy because of the weather or environmental stressors and needs a little touch-up. I mainly use hair-oils to style and add shine. This is not a heavy or greasy oil (unless you use half the vial of course) so I believe it is better suited for styling your hair rather than as a hair conditioning treatment or over-night hair mask. For example, I use the oil once after towel-drying and to prepare it for air-dry. It helps my hair waves stay in place as my hair takes hours to dry naturally and adds a healthy, non-oily shine. The conditioner is ideal for someone who needs good conditioning, but too much conditioner makes their hair "limp". Alternatively, try the deep-conditioner if you have a lot of thick, coarse, dry, and quite frizzy, usually wavy and curly hair. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">I hope y'all found this review helpful and that perhaps HASK Bamboo Oil collection items are hair-care miracle you have been looking for. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sheet
masks are the new “hot” skincare product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have noticed that many people, once-upon-a-time including myself, are
unfamiliar with the functionality of a sheet mask.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before I finally tried a sheet-mask, I was
under the false impression that a sheet-mask and peel-off mask are the same – a
product giving you utmost pleasure as you peel it off your face and see all the
grime and dirt transfer onto the sheet/peeled mask.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is it this sheet mask supposed to do for
my skin? Is it worth the investment? A one-time use product for $7 – is it
worth it? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
have tested out quite a few brands and versions of sheets masks (Tony Moly
(ranging from $1, $3.75, $8, to $10), Sephora Brand ($6), etc.) over the last
few months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of all the ones I have tried
thus far, I have to say that the When sheet masks are my favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So why do I recommend sheet-masks, especially
</span><a href="http://whenmask.com/"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When’s</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
sheet masks? <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
had the exciting opportunity to try out three types of sheet masks from When: 10
PM, Glamour Base, and The Last Choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The When sheet masks focus on treating fine lines, wrinkles, dryness,
and uneven skin-tone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The key ingredients
in all three types of these masks are coconut and hyaluronic acid amongst other
skin-nourishing ingredients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
first feature I noticed about the When masks was its weight, thick gel like
texture, and adhering power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I adjusted
the mask on my face, it clung onto my face very nicely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It did not feel slimy or tacky yet it adhered
onto my face effortlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact I did
not have to lie down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was sitting up
watching YouTube and the masks stayed on so nicely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second feature I loved about these masks was
that they felt so cooling and fresh, as if my face was on vacation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine being on the beach on a warm day with
a cool breeze sipping an icy beverage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
is exactly how my face was feeling while I was testing out these sheet
masks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, I the serum from the
sheet-masks absorbed into my skin so nicely, making it feel awakened, relaxed,
fresh, firm, hydrated, plumped, soft and supple. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically, my face felt as smooth and gel-like
as the bio-cellulose sheet itself!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now
imagine putting makeup on such a smooth canvas or going to sleep like a baby
after your face feels this soothed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
a nutshell, sheet masks are vacation, a pampering treat for you face/skin. Our
skin needs a break or a treat too after spending long hours protecting us from
environmental stressors such as UV rays, pollution, irritants, allergens,
etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It needs a thirst quenching drink
of good old Vitamin C just as we would crave lemonade or orange juice after a
workout or hectic day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The
When sheet masks are ideal for tired and environmentally stressed facial
skin.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I will definitely be
re-purchasing them.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> </span></div>

<b>The HORROR... </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm very apprehensive of stained teeth and nails. I avoid soft fizzy drinks as much as I can, but I do love tea and coffee, which I drink using a straw (even if the beverage is hot) to avoid contact of the liquid with my teeth (a suggestion made by my dentist). Healthy and naturally white teeth and nails are important to me because I think that it makes one look clean and polished. Honestly, if I ever see that my nails are getting permanently stained or weakened or damaged from nail polish wear, I will stop wearing nail polish. Although I do love wearing nail colors, I often find myself happy with the naked-no-color manicure. I'm <i>horrified</i> by the appearance of my nails after wearing <i>Leaf Me Be</i> for only <i>one</i> day! Seriously, I had a panic attack. I scrubbed my hands like crazy and even used my Crest Whitening toothpaste and brushed them. I buffed them too. A few days have past, but the stain is definitely taking its good 'ol time to fade away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Leaf Me Be</i> is an unique, vibrant, neon, non-milky lime green in a jelly finish. It reminds me of slime in kid's movies or Nickelodeon (hello 90's baby over here). Given that it has a jelly formula, it required at least three coats to look opaque. Even though I wore the Sephora Formula X base coat and top coat, the polish took time to dry down and got nicked on some nails as y'all can see in the last two pictures above. I would have still kept it had it not stained my nails - it looks like I bathed my nails in turmeric. I'm so surprised that I even thought about contacting Wet n Wild regarding this staining issue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Wet n Wild Megalast line is one I usually like! I have had an especially good experience with the seasonal collections, which are fun, trendy, not compromised on formula, and affordable. I returned this one immediately to Walgreens and didn't bother trying the other nail colors I had purchased from this collection. On a positive note, visit my <b style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://instagram.com/strawberryheartschocolatedarts" style="text-align: center;">Instagram</a> </b>to take a look of other items I purchased from this collection in action, such as a Mega-Glow highlighter in Precious Petals and a Mega-Glow multi-stick in Carnational Anthem. Spoiler... I love both! I guess you win some and you lose some, right! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Are y'all ready for Spring yet? Well, who isn't ready for Spring, unless where you live it is either not very seasonal or too hot during the Spring months. The beauty and fashion retail world is surely ready. I was visiting Walgreens with one of my beauty-loving friends - we were both searching for some new liquid lipsticks - when I came across this gorgeous display of new pastel nail polishes by Wet n Wild. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Instantly, these new <i>Spring into the Wild</i> collection nail polishes reminded me of last Spring's pastel nail polishes from the <i>Silver Lake</i> collection by Wet n Wild. In fact, the <i>Spring into the Wild</i> shades looked identical to some of the shades from <i>Silver Lake</i>. Anyway, the only reason I gave this new collection a second glance was because the current mint shade, named <i>Kiss My Mints</i>, looked less green (more blue) than last year's mint, named <i>Tree Hugger</i>. Also, I had returned <i>Tree Hugger</i> last year because it had an awful formula so I thought to give <i>Kiss My Mints</i> a try. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Since purchasing <i>Kiss My Mints</i> and loving it, I am eager to buy the lilac/lavender one from this year's collection because that is another shade I do not have from last year's collection. The word on the street... I mean <i>Instagram</i> is that the shades from this year are minutely (very subtly) different from their shade category (i.e., mint, lilac/lavender, cornflower/periwinkle blue) parallel from last year. In other words, only a nail polish <i>junkie</i> (street name for nail polish collectors or connoisseurs) would notice the difference. I am not one of those individuals as far as nail polishes are concerned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Y'all know that lipsticks are more my game! In anyway, I firmly believe that bright orange nail polishes look the most flattering on my lanky hands. Oh boy, way off tangent I go... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In a nutshell, y'all need to buy <i>Kiss My Mints</i>. I cannot mention a single downside to owning this gorgeous pastel, bluish mint shade, except that you will not want to remove it <i>ever</i>. First, it is only $1.99. Bargain. ✓ Second, as I already mentioned this is a nice balanced pastel mint (not too green, not too blue, and I am very picky about that). Trendy. ✓ Third, the staying-power was amazing. I applied it last Thursday and removed it today (Wednesday). It only began looking a tad shabby today because my nails have grown out and I started picking at the little chipped areas on my index fingernails. For a $1.99, drugstore nail polish, to have such an excellent wear-time is note worthy. Thank you Wet n Wild for maintaining quality and trendiness, while keeping prices low. Solid wear-time. ✓ Lastly, the formula was as exquisite as the wear-time. I applied two coats, allowing a few seconds for the first coat to dry down completely before applying the second coat. I also sealed the deal with Essie's <i>Good to Go</i> top coat. Dreamy formula. ✓ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yes, I am planning to go back for at least one or two more, like <i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> and <i>Breeze On By</i>. Hope y'all enjoy my gallery below! I added pictures of the shades from the <i>Silver Lake</i> collection I purchased last year. Sadly, I didn't have a chance to share my swatches of the <i>Silver Lake</i> polishes or write a review about them because of some life stuff that came up around the time I had purchased them. I didn't want to miss my chance this time around. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Update (04/20/16): I purchased <i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> soon after writing the review above for <i>Kiss My Mints</i>. <i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> is a pastel, slightly dusty lilac in my opinion. I tend to describe pastel-purples as lilac if they lean less pink, slightly cool-toned, and lavender if they lean more pink, slightly warm-toned. And peri-winkle is a purple leaning more blue. I blame my knowledge (in case I am wrong) on OPI's <i>Do You Lilac It?</i> and <i>Lucky Lucky Lavender</i> (if y'all know what I mean). I don't know the "accurate" or "official" difference is between lilac and lavender in the purple color spectrum. <i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> reminds me of the OG Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear shade <i>Lacey Lilac</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> applied easily for a pastel shade. I used two coats for an evened out appearance. The first coat is sheer so I was concerned that the polish will require three full coats, but the thinner formula and application were not an issue. I did not apply my trusted Essie Good-to-Go top coat with this one and it did chip, especially on the index finger, slightly on the tip of other fingers, and overall had a dull appearance without top coat. This experience sort of made me re-think the staying-power of <i>Kiss My Mints</i>, but I love that color, and honestly I still think the formula and application is a dream for the $1.99 price point. Also, I appreciate that these polishes do not have the pungent chemical, paint-like smell that some cheaper / drugstore polishes tend to have. For me <i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> was "meh" color-wise. I did not love the color as much as <i>Kiss My Mints</i>. When I first started purchasing/collecting nail colors a few years ago (during under-grad), I went through an intense pastel lilac/lavender phase, much like my current adoration for orange nail and lip colors. So maybe that "phase" is to blame for my "meh" feelings towards <i>Lay Out in Lavender</i> at the moment. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Color: a yellow-toned, dusty orange. </li>
<li>Formula: a thin creme consistency. </li>
<li>Application: requires patience because you need three coats for an evened out appearance and must wait for the first layer to dry before applying another layer of polish; the polish has a tendency to run off the brush and flood the nail bed. </li>
<li>Staying-power: I applied Essie Good to Go top coat, which is my absolute favorite top-coat. As long as the polish isn't cheap in quality, I get good wear-time (four-five days) using Good to Go. Personally, although I love wearing nail colors, I prefer my nails bare sometimes. Also, my nails grow out fast. So if a polish lasts about four days for me, without chipping, I am "good-to-go". </li>
<li>Overall: I didn't end up keeping this one because I like my polishes to be low maintenance when it comes to application. I can compromise on staying power (well not if the polish chips shamelessly 20 minutes after I applied it), but I do not like a runny consistency and slow drying time. </li>

OZ
Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer caught my attention at first glance
because of its natural ingredients and practical packaging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spending lots of money on skincare products,
especially products that have a luxurious appeal (i.e., intoxicating fragrance
and fancy packaging) doesn’t necessarily mean that we can prevent or reverse
aging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although aging is inevitable, we
can surely delay the onset and process of aging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Before I begin my review, I would like to mention my personal skin-type, complexion, and skin concerns so you all can get an idea of how you might be able to relate to my experience with this moisturizer. </span>Until recently, my skin type was combination-oily, but now I think it is between sensitive to normal. I do have occasional breakouts, very slight amount of redness near my nose and chin, and mild acne scarring. My scars have become more evident when my skin is irritated or de-hydrated. In the summer months, especially with the use of sunscreen, my t-zone can become slightly oily and face feels dewy, but I don’t mind that at all. As I just turned 27 a couple of months ago, oh my, I treasure this dewiness. Keeping your face hydrated and massaged means lesser wrinkles in the long run. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol moisturizer contains ingredients such as Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5, Shea Butter, Green Tea, Chamomile, Rose Hips, Sweet Almond Oils, Macadamia Nut Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Pomegranate Seed Oil, and extracts from various types of berries. Why are these ingredients good for you and why did they impress me? Vitamins are anti-oxidants, which slow down the process of natural aging, while preventing and fighting aging that is caused my sun damage. Vitamin C along with the other vitamins helps reduce/fade scarring and sunspots. The enclosed tube-like packaging of this moisturizer is crucial for keeping Vitamin C stable because this ingredient can easily oxidize and become unstable thus losing its effectiveness on your skin. Retinoic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid help in slowing down the process of aging, keeps skin tight, and resurfacing your damaged skin-cells. Shea Butter, Green Tea, and Chamomile help to soothe, condition, and heal sensitive and dry skin. For being a more natural product, this moisturizer has no discernable scent. </div>

I
tested this moisturizer on both my face and hands – my hands have been looking
and feeling quite dry over the past few months.
I tried it on a sunny, warmer day, and on a colder, gloomy day, pairing
it with sunscreen when I left my home. I
tried it with base makeup as well as just a light amount of blush and it worked
well both ways (I have posted a makeup look wearing this moisturizer on my Instagram - see link at the end of the post). <br />
<br />
This moisturizer erased
the dry, scales on my hands, especially near the knuckles, and made them feel
so smooth, without any tackiness. This
moisturizer blends easily and absorbs quickly – both on my face and hands. Its texture and consistency is very light, yet
creamy. I usually prefer gel
moisturizers, but this one seems to be a perfect gel-cream hybrid. A little goes a long way! I definitely needed
to use less of this product in comparison to the other moisturizers in my
skincare collection. Even though this moisturizer contains various natural oils, I did not experience any major breakouts or development of excessive sebum. Additionally, I suggest wearing this moisturizer with sunscreen because using Retinoic Acid can cause extra sensitivity when exposed to direct sunlight. <br />

Lastly,
I would like to point out that this moisturizer is friendly to your
wallet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A 4 oz. tube <a href="http://amzn.to/1F2XG36">retails</a> for $28.99 (which comes to $12.32 for
1.7 oz.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although that might still seem
expensive in comparison to drug-store moisturizers, let me give you both a
drugstore and high-end comparison to consider.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of my drugstore favorite moisturizers (“X”) costs $17.97 for 1.7
oz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a gel-cream moisturizer with
hyaluronic acid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though I say that
this drugstore moisturizer X is one of my favorites, I do have to use quite a
bit of it (more than the amount I need of the OZ Naturals moisturizer) to feel
the hydration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OZ Natural’s moisturizer
is actually cheaper than drugstore moisturizer X (comparing 1.7oz. for each).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now let’s consider the price point of one of
my favorite high-end gel-cream moisturizers (“Y”): $39 for 1.7 oz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again even though I do like this high-end
moisturizer Y, it does take time to absorb into my skin and leaves the face
feeling slightly tacky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My blush etc.
breaks down easily when I wear Y.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like I
mentioned OZ Naturals moisturizer absorbs quickly, blends nicely, and wears
well under makeup. Well, in this later scenario you’re actually saving money
without compromising on quality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
Based on my experience, I think this moisturizer will suit a range of complexions and skin-types - normal, sensitive, combination-oily, and dry (mild-to-medium, not chronic dry skin). I am so pleased with the face this makes my face and neck area feel soft and smooth.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Rose is a scent and flavor that I
associate with luxury and specialty products.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rose macaroons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose tea. Rose ice cream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose water. Rose fragrance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chanel lipstick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I think I have made my love for things
entailing roses evident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recently, I was
watching a few beauty/skincare themed videos on YouTube and discovered the
existence of “Rosehip Oil.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously, I
wanted to try this amazing Rosehip Oil for myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immediately I began Google searching Rosehip
Oil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point, I was already in the
process of searching for a facial oil and serum with preventative
benefits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I am in my mid-twenties so anti-aging
products were not necessarily on my radar till recently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surpassing 25 suddenly makes me feel like I
cannot take my health and physical well being for granted anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will give y’all an idea of my facial
complexion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did have mild acne when I
was in high school, which left my cheeks scarred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even now my occasional breakouts leave behind
scars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For being acne-prone, I don’t
have oily skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My face complexion is
normal-sensitive with some dry patches during the winter months and
normal-sensitive with minimally oily t-zone during the summer months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having a clear, bright, hydrated, and
even-toned complexion is very important for me, especially because I do not
like to wear base makeup and would never like myself to become </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">dependent</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> on wearing base makeup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I want to be comfortable in my own fresh skin!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">My mother, who is a physician, taught
me from a young age that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">less is more</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She instilled in me the importance of keeping
my face well cleansed and hydrated, using minimal makeup, and not irritating my
face by using too many products.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
skincare regiment involves cleansing my face with a mild cleanser (while in
high school I did use cleansers with salicylic acid/acne treatment, but stopped
using such cleansers because they dried out my face), hydrators
(essence-sprays, moisturizer, sheet-masks), steam, and very occasionally I also
use clay-based masks and gentle exfoliating scrubs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I do wear a CC cream or sunscreen, I
double cleanse my face using an oil cleanser followed by a simple cleanser. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">After reading a bit about Rosehip Oil,
I learned that it is a dry oil, which means that it sinks into the skin faster
and does not leave a greasy residue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This,
other than the fact that I love anything rose-themed, caught my attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Currently, facial oils are hot in the beauty
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have sampled quite a few, but
have not committed to any for three reasons – steep price point, greasy
residue/texture, and strong fragrance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The facial oils in the market seem more synthetic and cosmetic than
intrinsically beneficial for our skin’s health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another factor that impressed me about Rosehip Oil is that it is a
milder oil, making it well suited for people with sensitive skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Fortunately, I had the opportunity to
try out a serum consisting of Rosehip Seed Oil and Rose Damascena Oil via Brand
Backer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The serum – Royal Rose Hydrating
Serum - is by a natural, vegan and cruelty free brand called Valentia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Royal Rose Serum consists of amazing
beneficial and naturally occurring ingredients, such as Niacinamide/Vitamin B,
Evening Primrose Oil, and Lavender. These ingredients have healing and
hydrating properties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This serum claims
to “deeply moisturize skin, provide antioxidant protection, soothe and nourish
dry skin, smooth skin tone & texture, and boost skin radiance.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I have been using Valentia’s Royal Rose
Hydrating Serum for about a week now and would like to share my impression of
it thus far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, this serum did not
irritate my skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My skin reacts very
quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It becomes irritated very
easily – slightest exposure to sunlight or dust or for no reason at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the reasons the serums and oils I have
experimented with thus far have not worked out for me is because my pores
become clogged and I breakout immediately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Although I am not a chemist, it is my understanding
that many serums contain dimethicone, which is a silicon-based substance used
to give a “smooth and moisturized” appearance to the skin. However, dimethicone
also clogs your pores and hence I was always turned-off by serums containing
it. I was impressed that Valentia’s serum does not contain dimethicone. Additionally,
it is also alcohol-free and paraben-free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Second, this serum sinks into the skin
very quickly. I feel tempted to apply more because of how fast it dries once I
apply it onto my cheeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use a pump
per area of my face - cheeks, forehead, and chin/neck area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I layer my moisturizer on top of this serum, but
I do not feel like this serum exceptionally moisturizes my skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, I do not feel like it made my
face feel any more moisturized than it feels when I wear my moisturizer
alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do want to note that this serum
is moisturizing, but not enough on its own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I have also tested this serum on my
hands as well, which tend to feel dry while my face is more normal as I
mentioned above. When I apply this serum to my hands, the dry areas feel smoother
and conditioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This effect is
temporary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I wash my hands or a few
hours pass by, I feet the need to re-moisturize, and I am not one who suffers
from unusually dry skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This serum does
give off a nice smooth appearance to my skin – be it my face or hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wore well under my CC cream, blush,
contour powder, etc. on the days I chose to wear makeup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Third, this serum does not have an
overwhelming or off-putting fragrance; it has a very subtle natural rose
scent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, it does not feel tacky or
sticky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, it feels like a
cooling, water-based, gel lotion – very lightweight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally, I would recommend this serum for
people with normal, sensitive, and combination/oily skin-types.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my opinion, it is not hydrating enough for
individuals with dry to very dry skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again, this is a serum/treatment and shouldn’t be mistaken for a
moisturizer, lotion, or cream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Other than being a very natural
product, </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AHVGZNM"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Valentia’s Royal Rose Hydrating Serum</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> stood out to me because of its affordable price-point
($35/1.18 FL.OZ.). Like I mentioned above, skincare products like facial oils
and serums are so expensive ($50 - $100+), which does not necessarily fit into
everyone’s budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Skincare is more
about beneficial ingredients, preventative measures, and biology/chemistry
rather than brand names, labels, and the luxe appeal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This price point is ideal for those of us
who are just starting to dip our toes into skincare products and developing a
skincare regiment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Although we are now approaching the tail end of winter and the beauty trend gods might be shaking their heads at me, I must share this gorgeous nail color called Yummy Yam by Sally Hansen. As I admire Yummy Yam on my nails, the shade reminds me of a blend of sweet butternut squash, pure saffron water, deep turmeric spice, warm pumpkin spice, and dirty honey-mustard. Doesn't that all sound so warm, spicy, and delicious? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yummy Yam reminds me of a lot of China Glaze's Dessert Sun (Fall 2012), but a tad warmer and less yellow. As we move into Spring and Summer, which entails pastels, neons, and brights, a mustard manicure can be a super chic, subtle accent to a loud color-block or floral themed outfit. Would you agree? I think it is all about marketing really. A brand could release this very same shade next month and called it Honeycomb or Golden Honey or Sweet Tea (<i>why is honey on my mind or have I become a true Southern belle now</i>) and y'all would want it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Besides being such a unique shade, Yummy Yam has an exquisite formula. I applied two clean coats, which is the norm for a good creme formula and to achieve an evened out appearance. As with any polish, it is best to wait for the first coat to set a bit before applying a second coat as to not disturb the first coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am well aware that stores are beginning to clear out the Autumn/Winter inventory to make space for Spring pastels. However, a few Autumn/Winter shades remain, defying seasonal-color "rules". For instance, the popularity of the spectrum of brown and pinky-mauve (boring) shades has spread like wild-fire and these shades have acquired a cult-following, making them timeless ... <i>oh I mean "seasonal-less." </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As I write this review, I hope that y'all can still find this shade in stores. This collection came out at some point in November so it has been out for a few months now. I purchased mine back in late December from Bed, Bath, & Beyond Harmon's. I didn't spot Yummy Yam at my other "usual" local beauty / drug-stores, such as ULTA, Walgreens, CVS, or Target. I suggest checking the clearance bins at this point. In my experience, TJ MAXX and Marshall's sometimes carry seasonal Sally Hansen's nail colors towards the end of the season and at most likely at a discounted price. (Update 02/24/16 - spotted Yummy Yam at one of my local CVS stores, which means it is still out there.) Happy Hunting, beauties!</span></div>

Hello, Beauties! Liquid lipsticks, specifically of the matte formulation, have acquired a large cult following of the masses. Cosmetic brands left and right, be they luxury, high-end, or drug-store, are releasing their version or interpretation of the <i>perfect</i> matte liquid lipstick formula. Over the last few months, I have taken on the quest of testing out these matte liquid lipsticks from several brands for my beautiful Lipstick-Loving-Peeps. On my YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMx_Acrj9bJLOvV_JBAVRMw">channel</a> and<b> </b><a href="http://instagram.com/strawberryheartschocolatedarts">Instagram</a><b> </b>page, I have reviewed liquid lipsticks (matte and non-matte) from brands such as Kylie Cosmetics, Girlactik, Dose of Colors, Giorgio Armani, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Tarte, Milani, Revlon, Maybelline, NYX, The Balm, Colour Pop, and Dior. And there is more to follow soon! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let us take a slight drive down memory lane, shall we? If y'all prefer to skip ahead to the next paragraph, then please feel free to do so. My blog is a diary of sorts and I like my posts to be somewhat personal in nature. Some of you may consider it off-tangent or long-winded... Well, y'all have been warned! Liquid lipsticks were present in the market ever since and even before my curiosity and love for makeup developed. I think I was in the final year of high-school, preparing myself for occasions like senior prom and graduation, when I began experimenting with makeup. Some of my peers had already started wearing a full face of makeup back then, but thanks to my parents (I really do appreciate their strictness today) I did not dare wear anything more than my mother's lipsticks. Anyway, I fondly remember the evening my mom took me makeup shopping for these two special occasions. She bought be a coppery gold eyeshadow by L'Oreal and a baby pink blush by Physician's Formula. My mom's policy was that there is a time and place for everything. She discouraged impulsiveness because she believed that it created insatiable expectations, which ultimately result in dissatisfaction and disdain. Today, thanks to my mom, I feel very comfortable without makeup and don't feel the need to use it as a guard, but rather to make myself feel dolled-up once in a while for outings, occasions, and filming. <i>I love you, my Momma Bear</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was never a fan of lip gloss because it was too sheer for my liking, but liquid lipsticks - basically glosses with the pigmentation of an opaque lipstick really intrigued me. Well, there were three types of liquid lipsticks back then: opaque glossy, which didn't stay in place; opaque patent-shine lacquers, which felt too tacky; and matte, ultra drying ones called "stains," which were paired with clear balms to make them feel more comfortable (they really were not the least bit comfortable though). I shall label these "Originals." The weak points of these opaque glosses and lacquers was that they were not lightweight, felt sticky like honey or oil, and transferred everywhere possible. The stains, on the other hand, were so drying that my lips look abnormally wrinkly (given my age) and felt itchy, hot, and irritated. Although I do really like some creamy liquid lipsticks at present (ex., Too Faced Chocolate Honey), I prefer the semi-matte liquid lipsticks, which set to a flat, matte finish and are not drying. I don't care to compromise on the staying power and transfer-proof features because I like to remove my lipstick prior to eating anyway. Even liquid lipsticks that are transfer-proof and long-wearing breakdown near the inner portion of the lips while consuming foods with an oil base and that are generally not dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first few Originals I tried were from two brands at Kohl's called Flirt and American Beauty and drug-store brands such as Covergirl and Maybelline. Back then I thought a store like Sephora and makeup counters in department stores, like Macy's were for the high-society people. Now social media has changed the demographics for brands as a new, fast-paced affordable medium for advertising. There are so many baby brands on the rise, like Colour Pop, merely two years old and competing with a long time established high-end brand such as MAC Cosmetics. Now Kohl's carries prestige brands on which coupons cannot be used. Drugstore prices have sneakily increased, but coupons justify the margin in the minds of the consumer. Anyway, my point is that I tried what was affordable back then, but the quality might not have been ideal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While in college, I recall trying one of the Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks (another Original) in the popular shade <i>Patina</i> and it was so drying that I absolutely hated it. More recently, during law school I had contemplated purchasing the very famous <i>Lolita</i> by Kat Von D and it was also so trying that I decided not to commit to it. In a nutshell, my impression of liquid lipsticks was <i>bad</i> - a strong dislike! I decided that my lips were simply too <i>delicate</i> for these super drying lipsticks. I could not fathom why anyone enjoyed wearing them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The majority of matte liquid lipsticks that are surfacing today are much better than the "Originals" I described above. My new perception, "where have you been all my <i>makeup-loving</i> life?" I am guilty of completely shafting "those regular lipsticks" at the moment. Most of my lipstick collection is being neglected because I am so intrigued by these liquid lipsticks. The biggest selling point of liquid lipsticks for me is the way they set into a flat, velvet like, deepened version of the liquid. So without further ado, I would like to share my reviews of many new Liquid Lipsticks, which I am calling the "Liquid Lipstick Extravaganza" (listed/linked below). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Introducing, Sally Hansen's <i>Head Bang - </i>from the Miracle Gel seasonal (Fall/Winter 2015) collection, a cool-toned, dark mushroom, chocolate brown. I have been smitten with this nail color ever since I first came across it. At first I convinced myself that I did not need another mundane chocolate brown from yet another earthy fall/winter collection, especially a pricey one ($7.99 - $9.99). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After seeing this color pop up on my radar while picking up some milk at the grocery-store and during a coffee-date with one of my best friends, Megan, at ULTA, I came to the conclusion that <i>Head Bang</i> was no ordinary brown nail color. Eventually, I purchased it at my local Bed, Bath, & Beyond, using a 20% off coupon, which justified my purchase even more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have nothing like <i>Head Bang</i> in my nail polish collection. As you can see from the pictures, there is something about this color that is different. It draws my attention, almost as if it catches me by surprise and I find myself admiring <i>Head Bang's</i> subtle uniqueness. I think it is the first cool-toned, deep mushroom, chocolate brown that I have come across, which is not too purple or too gray or too dark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The first coat is a bit thin so I recommend using at least two coats or three, if you are a perfectionist. It is not very messy or difficult to do three coats because the polish layers nicely without bubbling up or streaking. Although I only wore this polish for about five or so days, it only chipped on the index fingernails. I am not one to keep my nail polish on for longer than four or five days because one, I find it boring, and two, shabby once chipping has occurred and natural nail growth is visible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall, <i>Head Bang</i> is a must-have! Not only is it a stunning color, but a trendy one as well. Brown is such a happening color at the moment in the beauty world, especially brown lip colors. So what's not to like about a chocolate brown nail polish to pair with your favorite chocolate brown liquid lipstick. I have received so many compliments on my nails while wearing <i>Head Bang</i>. I hope Sally Hansen adds it to its permanent collection or that y'all can get it before the seasonal displays disappear. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">E</span>ssie <i>Salt Water Happy</i> is a dusty corn flower blue shade. I purchased mine at Harmon's Beauty in Bed, Bath, & Beyond ($8.99). I have spotted Salt Water Happy at other retailers too, such as ULTA and Kohl's. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although this shade was released as a part of Essie's Summer 2015 Collection, I believe it is versatile enough to be worn during any season. This is not a "childish" blue - meaning it does not look like you have polished your nails with actual coloring paint. There is a perfect balance of bright and muted here. This has to be my most favorite blue of the few I own. I usually do not fancy blue nail polish on myself, but this one has won over my heart. I recently purchased another one for one of my best friends a.k.a. fellow-beauty-lover - hello Megan! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A couple of years back I purchased one of the cult-favorite shades from Essie called <i>Bikini So Teeny</i>. Unfortunately, the formula of <i>Bikini So Teeny</i> was a huge disappointment - very thin and applied really streaky and patchy. I returned that one the very same day I purchased it. Ever since then I have been on a hunt for a shade like <i>Bikini So Teeny</i>, but of course with a better formula. In my attempts to finding the perfect emulation of <i>Bikini So Teeny</i>, I tried <a href="http://strawberryheartschocolatedarts.blogspot.com/2013/08/new-sinful-shine-gel-tech-and-bright.html" target="_blank">Sinful Shine <i>Alfresco</i></a>, <a href="https://instagram.com/p/rfa45AAPYq/?taken-by=strawberryheartschocolatedarts" target="_blank">Julie G <i>Santorini</i></a>, and Wet 'n' Wild <i>Wearing Blue Jeans</i> (swatches / review coming soon). <i>Alfresco</i>, <i>Santorini</i>, and <i>Wearing Blue Jeans</i> are significantly identical to each other. If you have one of these beauties, you do not need the others. I was really impressed by the formula of these three nail polishes so much so that I gifted these shades to a few of my friends. Sally Hansen's <i>Babe Blue</i> is another option nearly identical to <i>Alfresco</i>, <i>Santorini</i>, and <i>Wearing Blue Jeans</i>, but I returned it because of its poor formulation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My point is that there are a lot of beautiful corn-flower blue nail polish options out in the market, but I prefer <i>Salt Water Happy</i> - even to <i>Bikini So Teeny</i> - for its color. It is the exact version of corn-flower blue that I have been dreaming of. Oh, and did I mention its amazing "just right" formula (not thin and not thick) and how it applies evenly (no streaks or pockets)? I am wearing two coats in the pictures topped off with Essie's <i>Good To Go</i> top coat. <i>Salt Water Happy</i> will surely make you very happy! </div>
