Review and Giveaway: My Lip Stuff....***CLOSED***

Hey Everyone!

A true beauty addict will keep searching till they find perfection in a wanted product. From end to end, we will test every conditioner for the perfect softness to the best of best foundation for our skin tone. In my case, the search for a great lip balm has been elusive. Lip Balms so important because they are necessary to the health and shape of the delicate skin on your lips. I recently came across, My Lip Stuff, a eco-friendly lip balm company who uses amazing recipe of sunflower oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, and aloe vera to soothe the tender pucker. They also smell and taste amazing!!

I received to review Maple Walnut( smells like cake or warm muffin, Yum!), Jack Frost( Minty and nostalgic reminds of my 1^st lip balm) and Rainbow Sherbet( like eating lemon Skittles, Double Yum!).

I like the buttery feel that got as applied them. I left one sitting under a lamp by mistake and when I applied it, it looked like a natural colored gloss. I felt finished after I applied it with a bit of mascara on my lashes ( picture above). The only con is I might eat the Maple Walnut lip balm! Help me! It smells divine! LOL!

Traveling Beautiful: Top 5 Beauty Products For Travel.....

Hey Everyone!

I have enlisted my soror and global travel muse/inspiration, Meredith of Around The World with Meredith, to give me her top five beauty products she takes on all her trips, like Japan, Jamaica, NYC, Dominican Republic, and most recently Key West Fla and Cozumel, Mexico.

#1- Moisturizers with SPF

(At the moment I use Equate Firming Moisturizers and Neurogena Ultra Mist SunBlock SPF 100)

#2- Mascara and Bronzer(or blush)

(At the moment I am using L'Oreal Extra Collagen in Black Waterproof and Black Radiance Golden Shimmer)

#3- Witch Hazel

( At the moment I use Beyond Belief Witch Hazel)

( that's Meredith as a Geisha in Japan! Check out her Japan posts on her blog:))

#4-- Baking soda: I love it b/c it is multi-purpose. After a day of bugs and birds on the safari in DR, a baking soda mask did the skin good. Not only did my skin feel smooth, but it relieves a few insect bites. Forgot to pack mouth wash? Gargle with baking soda. Ate too many Octopus balls and stomach is sour? Sip a little soda water( if you have Hypertension not a good idea).

#5-Water- In the past, I have packed every piece of makeup I've owned and only used the same 3 things. Reality is when I'm traveling, I want to be camera ready at all times with little to no effort. From laying on the beach all day and needing to stay hydrated to sampling greasy street food and needing a good "flushing out" water is essential. Water also minimize puffiness and swelling that make occur after a night out on the town.

Great products for a successful trip. All of the products Meredith brings are budget friendly and fab! Be sure to go ( RIGHT NOW) to check and follow her travel blog, Around The World With Meredith. Its filled with beautiful pictures, fun videos, and thoughtful commentary from the travel bug who has the bug for travel herself!

Thanks again, Soror Meredith XOXO!!

Review: EO Products....

I got the chance to test and review an awesome box of goodies from EO Products! Here’s a list of everything they sent me:

All Purpose Cleaner - Meyer Lemon 16oz.

Liquid Hand Soap - Peppermint & Tea Tree 12oz.

Bubble Bath - Time Out: Vanilla & Coconut with Tangerine 12oz.

Hand Sanitizing Spray - Organic Peppermint with Thyme 2oz.

Shampoo - French Lavender 1.5oz.

Conditioner - French Lavender 1.5oz.

Shower Gel - French Lavender 1.5oz.

Body Lotion - French Lavender 1.5oz

EO(EO^® stands for Essential Oils) products is “a family owned and operated, Certified Organic Manufacturer of personal care products using the highest grade natural and certified organic ingredients.” I love their motto “ Love Life, Live Clean”.

Out of all the products I was sent I absolutely was blown away by three them! Check them out:

Meyer Lemon All Purpose Cleaner: All Purpose is a such an understatement because this Cleaner does EVERYTHING. Dishes, floors, kids, bathrooms…I even used it to wash my makeup brushes. It is by far, the best makeup brush cleaner ever. I used a tablespoon in a bowl of water and my brushes were clean without much manipulation to them. I also gave myself and the kids a chance to use the all purpose cleaner as a bath/shower gel. The low PH balance of 4.5-5.5 makes it very gentle on the skin, therefore I or the boys did not have dry skin afterwards and the Meyer Lemon scent smells divine

Bubble Bath Time Out Vanilla & Coconut with Tangerine: Nothing like a good bubble bath after long workout to sooth the muscles and skin. I love the scent, reminds of me a Creamscicle and the suds are buoyant as well.

Organic Peppermint with Thyme Hand Sanitizing Spray : I used the Hand Sanitizing Spray on guess what? My yoga mat. I wanted to sanitize it instead of washing it. The spray is a light mist, so a couple of sprays covered the mat. I let the spray dry on the mat and it smelled divine afterwards. I also sprayed it on my kids’ booster seats and my steering wheel to freshen up the car. I know its not all purpose hand sanitizer but I made it one. There’s idea for you!

Overall, everything I received was great. I tucked away the French Lavender Shower Gel, Lotion, Shampoo and Conditioner (which are 1.5oz size) in my pre-packed travel bag to use on trip later this month and Peppermint & Tea Tree Liquid Hand Soap is in the bathroom getting much use. EO is sold on online and in various stores, all you need to do is go their store locator on their site!

Disclosure: These items were sent me to me by EO for review.
