My Lip Stuff - Lip Balm review

Hey Everyone!

Yes, you guessed it! Another Review and Giveaway! And this one is a special one ;) one of my most favorite sites that have TON of lip products, so be sure to keep reading my experience and opinion on one of the products, and enter the special giveaway! ;)

My Lip Stuff is a really nice shop where you can find ALL TYPES of different lip products, from lip balms, to lip sticks, to even Tinted Lip gloss! And one of the things that I always look for in lip products, is good quality. (of course!) And that's exactly what I found at My Lip Stuff

Okay, so I got to try out three different Natural Lip Balms (in the image above) I got the Strawberry Milkshake, Gingerbread House, and the After Dinner Mint.

What I really like about them is that, they are easy to apply, like they have this type of oily texture that just let's you apply it smoothly on your lips and leave a good smooth feeling.

The scent is nothing strong, in fact I LOVE IT, it's so light and refreshing (one of the things I hate most is wearing a strong scented lip product that smells like cheesecake.....err..yeah.) But these have a nice light scent, simply refreshing.

Plus also to mention they have OVER 400 FLAVORS for these Natural Lip Balms....WHOA! Talk about all types of flavors! It's like a Lip Balm Wonderland, so My Lip Stuff definitely has some good variety!

I checked out the prices for these lip balms, and let me tell you one thing, have you ever bought a lip balm with such good quality....and at such a great price? $2.50! Wow...I just have to honestly say that I am in love.

My most favorite out of the Three is the Strawberry Milkshake lip balm, okay, I am OBSESSED with this one! I love it, I wear it everyday, all the time. This one I always carry around in my purse with me, or when I go out I just carry it in my clutch bag, I just simply love this flavor and I am obsessed with it.

I have to say, it's also hard choosing my next favorite, because both the Gingerbread house Lip balm and the After Dinner Mint lip balm are both great! The After dinner mint is so refreshing and so minty! And the Gingerbread house is a really "comfy at home" type of smell. It somehow reminds me of baking at Christmas, it's a really good scent, I can't really tell which of the both are my favorite.

Also remember earlier in the review I said "it has some type of oily texture" . Well guess what? I just checked the lip balm info and it says that these lip balms are made with the finest butters and oils blended to create the ultimate lip moisturizer. I was right! 

These lip balms are not sticky at ALL! so no worries about the "big sticky messes". They also last really long, so you won't have to be "re-applying" your lip balm every 5 minutes, it lasts good and long. They are clean, easy to use, and easy to store in any purse, or even your back jean pocket! 

I think I am definitely going to switch and stick to My Lip Stuff lip balms, for sure.

Oh but My Lip Stuff has tons of more products, not just Lip balms, you cannot believe how much variety they have in lip products! I can't even start to explain, don't be lazy and check it out for yourself.

Helpful Beauty 101! #1

Hey everyone!

Today I come with an amazing post that will definitely be super helpful to all of you who take care of yourself, or are beauty lovers, or if you are just into beauty.  I am just so excited I don't have any idea what to say for the introduction, so instead, let's make it short, and move onto the post! #1 ;)

SKIN: 

Important Daily Care for you type of Skin-

For OILY SKIN- For Cleansing: This type of skin needs a strong cleanser that contains either alpha-hydroxy acid OR that contains salicylic to get rid of all the dead skin, and it will help cleanse and clear your pores, and dissolve some excess that is clogging up your pores. When using moisturizer, make sure you use a non-cosmedogenic type of moisturizer.

For NORMAL SKIN- Cleansing would be easy as 1-2-3. Just gently wash 1-2 times a day with a soap-free formula to cleanse the skin. For moisturizing, any type of light weight moisturizer (it can be non comedogenic) that you feel comfortable using.

For DRY SKIN- To cleanse, you can use any mild soap free formula at night (before going to bed) and then rinse with WARM WATER in the morning. 

Exfoliation for Oily & Dry Skin!

Exfoliating for OILY SKIN- For Oily skin, it is recommended to use an exfoliating face wash on the acne-prone skin type everyday. For a more intense method of exfoliating a at-home microdermabrasion kit that contains or uses salt crystals (recommended: use once a week - max.) and this helps lessen and decrease the appearance of large pores or acne scares.

Exfoliating for DRY SKIN- for Dry skin, it is recommended to be buffed (2-3 times a week) using a milkd microbread scrub. (be sure to AVOID using microdermabrasion, since it can be really harsh on the Dry or Normal type skin.)

What Blush Color are you?

Not many Cosmetic Colors can really bring out your true beauty. It depends the color you use on your skin. For example:

If you have FAIR Skin: It is highly recommended that you use Soft pink colors, or if you tend to use blush a lot, a Peachy Blush is the perfect color for this type of Skin Tone.

If you have MEDIUM Skin: it is recommended that you use a type of vibrant Pinks, Apricots, Gold-Pinks to really bring out that glow in your skin.

If you have DARK Skin: it is recommended that you use colors that really "pop" such as vibrant bright Fuchsia, a Rich plum color, a Medium bight pink rose color is perfect for this type of Skin Tone.

Applying Blush the RIGHT Way? It can sometimes depend on your face shape. Two ways to apply is by applying it on the apples of your cheeks (say cheese and apply). And a new way is by applying it JUST a bit lower from the apples of your cheeks. (Kabuki's are great blush brushes to use.)

What's my type of Bronzer?

Fair Light Skin- bronze, apricots, and peach shades will do the trick.

Light/Medium- Medium Bronze applied on the T section of the face + cheeks. Then apply a Bright pink blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Olive to Dark- Copper, Shimmery Bronze, and deeper hues are perfect for these type of skin tones.

What Colors will make my eyes Stand out?

What if your Blue eyes: using opposite colors will do the trick. Such as earth-type of colors, like a copper, bronze, chocolate, gold, neutral will really bring out those blue eyes.

What if your Brown Eyes: Blue, Navy, Vibrant Violet is the answer! These type of opposite colors will really show out your eyes, and mainly turn the focus on the eyes.

What if your green eyes: Lavender, Violet, Plum, dark red such as burgundy will do the trick

Tip: To bring out your eye color, always remember to use opposite colors, instead of using blend colors that will just make your eyes blend in with the rest.

Quick Beauty & Fashion Tips! #1

• When wearing Bright colors, you will of course bring attention & make heads turn. Be sure to use bright colors wisely
• Did you know? V-Necks make your neck look longer
• Brown Eyes? ...wearing dark eye makeup will not help bring your eyes out. try Light and matte, a bit of shimmer helps and will pop those eyes out! ;)
• Blue Eyes or Green? ...now we have to balance this out. Too much dark eye makeup will pop out your eyes, but sometimes will make them seem very small. And Light makeup helps by making your eye b the focus. So it's good to balance colors out.

Great Tips for Dry Skin! (Treatments-In-Home included!)

Hey everyonnee!!

Well I've gathered lots of tips, and cool Treatments-In-Home for those who have Dry Skin! and I am absolutely sure that these tips and in-home treatments will work and help out!

REMEMBER! This is for DRY SKIN! :)

Here We go!!

•  Honey & Egg Yolk In-Home Treatment: get a small round cup, make a egg yolk paste-like mixture, then add 1--2 teaspoon of Milk Powder, after that to the mixture you will add 1 Teaspoon of honey into the mixture as well. (mix a bit) and you are going to apply this paste/mixture on the face (make sure your hands are clean!) [if you have any other dry skin areas, you can apply the paste/mixture on the dry skin area] You will have to wait approximately 10 to 15 minutes to let it dry, after that, rinse with cold water
• Applying Natural Mayonnaise will also help a lot! (since the mayonnaise is made of  fats, and some protein, it helps the Dry Skin) you can rub and massage it on the skin (dry skin area) and just leave it there for probably about 15 or 20 minutes, after that you can rinse with warm water
• Have you heard of Oil Massages? it's simple for helping out Dry skin, but to make it better and more effective you can add just a few drops of glycerine to the oil before you apply on dry skin area
• You can also use a natural ingredient called Cocoa Butter, and just rub it around the face (or dry skin area) [use a piece of the cocoa butter!] letting it melt, this cleans out dirt, makeup, and helps smoothen the skin, after you remove it you will feel and see a result of clean and smooth :)
• When using "For Dry Skin" Lotions try to make sure that these lotions are made of Natural Ingredients intended and used for Dry Skin. Try to NOT use hot water, soap, limestone, as this does not help out the Dry skin!
• To keep your skin glowing and clean, it is recommended to drink a lot of water (when I mean a lot...I do not mean chug down an entire Gallon of water in a day) I mean to always keep water bottles around, and replace your soda drinks to water, trust me, you will see some improvement 
• Hot Water Tortures Dry skin! Making it worse! If you love Hot Tubs, or taking Looong Hot Showers, but yet you want don't like Dry Skin....I am sorry to say this, but Hot Tubs and Long hot shower days are over, dry switching to Lukewarm Showers :) 
• It's good to keep a moisturizer around, to maintain your skin soft, healthy, and happy (don't forget smooth! pshh...) A nice moisturizer I can recommend is Skin MD Natural ...which I have bought a bottle :) and did not regret it at all, trust me, after going through BOTTLe and BOTTLE at the drugstore I finally found something Useful!!!There is a Coupon Code: MBFD which is 20% OFF your order at Skin MD Natural 
• You should also exfoliate your skin weekly, the best way to do it for Dry Skin? try brushing your skin (BEFORE SHOWER) with a body brush to remove dead and old flaky skin, but do this before shower, seriously, it is more effective and better working than scrubbing your skin and trying to exfoliate when in the shower. 
• If your Lips are a "Dry-Skin" problem too, you should try using Lip Balm, and Chap Stick 
• Cool Tip: "moisturize your lips with Vaseline. Take a toothbrush and "brush" your lips in a circular motion. This will remove dead flakes and leave your lips soft and supple." - Julyne Derrick
• Flaxseed Oil is said that it improves Dry Skin condition (also helps out with eczema) 

 And That's our "Tips For Dry Skin" post for Today! :) There will be More Skin Tips tomorrow, and lots of Fun and interesting posts coming up this week!!
