Carmex Pomegranate Stick Review + Giveaway!!! **CLOSED**

 Hey Everyone!

I'm quickly coming by to offer the RGBL family a review and  GIVEAWAY!! Yes!!

The good folks over at Carmex sent me a package full of their Carmex Sticks and their new Carmex Stick in Pomegranate. I'm not the biggest lip balm fan but I do realize that it is an important part of your daily skin care.

Your lips are the most delicate skin on your face. They get some the most work all day and protecting, moisterizing and caring for them is essential.

The new flavor of Carmex is Pomegranate has the Carmex classic smooth balm texture with the smell of a juicy pomegranate. It also include broad spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen and it is water resistant. I put on lip balm before any color lip product. One trick I use is that I blot the lip balm a bit with a tissue before apply lipstick or lip gloss so I won't disturb the color or quality of the color lip product.

GIVEAWAY!!! 

Win a Beach Bag full of Carmex goodies!!

Includes ( Picture above):

Beach Bag

Carmex Sticks in Pomegranate, Orginal, Cherry, Strawberry, Vanilla, and Lime

~Review~ Nad's Natural Hair Removal Gel.....

Now you all know I'm a DIY beauty girl ( some by choice and some by default) and stan for my Nad's Facial Wand Eyebrow Shaper. That thing works wonders and I'm on my 2nd wand as we speak. So, I was excited, curious and SCARED, when given the oppotunity to try Nad's Natural Hair Removal Gel.

We have seen those commercials...looks effortless and fast, right? 

Here's some basic info on the kit:

 Smooth results for up to 6 weeks...
 No Heat, Washes Off with Water, Dermatologically Tested. 


 Nad's Natural Hair Removal Gel not only leaves your skin soft and smooth for weeks, but no also contains nourishing Kiwi and cooling Mint. The original, natural alternative to waxing, it quickly removes unwanted hair by the roots, giving professional results lasting for up to 6 weeks. It's quick, low mess and easy to clean up. The backing strips are fully washable and reusable. Use for Legs, Bikini Line, Underarms, and Arms.


 This Kit Contains: 170g (6oz) Nad's Hair Removal Gel with Kiwi & Mint 1 Spatula 4 Nad's Cleansing Wipes 5 Backing Strips Instruction Leaflet

My first try, I read the instructions thoroughly and gave myself plenty of time for trial and error. I did my underarms first, since I needed to shave under there anyway, plus I don't grow much hair under my arms anyway.

I had trouble getting the wax heated all the way through, then it cooled really quick on me.  I got it applied, laid on the backing strip....and gave it a good pull. P.A.I.N.!!!! Just like a regular salon waxing!! LOL!

That's all I could think about, painful like regular waxing, but here I was doing it on my own. I did get a very clean pull, so I didn't have to apply the wax again under that arm. I went ahead, braced myself and did the other underarm. It wasn't as clean, perhaps I was still in shock from the initial pain.:/


Pros:
-a great economic way to get salon waxing, pain and all.:)
-the kit is complete and instructions are through and easy to understand
-the clean up was easy, the wax is washable.
-got a clean underarms in the process.

Cons:
-had some trouble heating the wax...you can either microwave it or put in it warm water. I did both and  it still wasn't heated throughly.


Consensus:

I didn't list the pain as a "con" because people have different pain indexes. Mine is low, very low. lol! Yours might be high.

I also tried it a couple times on my legs...but I couldn't get through it because I'm a damn wuss. Any suggestions on lowering the pain when waxing? Let me know in the comments!!

I received a free product (or products) for review purposes. I did not receive any form of compensation from the company. All opinions are my own and not influenced in anyway. My reviews are my personal and honest opinions

~Haul~ CVS Summer 2012 Beauty Clearance......

On last Saturday, I found out via twitter that CVS is doing a summer beauty clearance sale. It took everything in my not to leave my house at 8:45 pm ( our CVS' close at 9pm) to see what was popping. My patience paid off when Gia over at Nouveau Cheap posted a list of the items clearanced and has been updating since Saturday with even more stuff. I had $18.00 in ECBs and coupons burning a hole in my pocket!

 A couple of trips later...here's my haul!

 Trip#1/ CVS #1- I only spent $.94 on every thing and I would have not spent that if I could have found that $1 ECB I had in the bottom of my handbag!!

I got all the Sally Hansen Crackle Polishes ( which I thought were overpriced from the "get". lol!),
Revlon ColorBurst Lip Gloss in Rose Gold, and two Essence of Beauty Brushes( These brushes have $1 coupons in them and forgot all about that..I couldve gotten them $.75!!).

Trip #1/CVS #2- I saw in this CVS that some of the beauty travel bags were on sale 50% of $9.99. So I used a $5 ECB to buy this one. $0.00 spent!

Trip #2/CVS#2- I spotted the Kiss Nail Dress in Princess that was listed at 75%off but they are really 50% off of $6.99...but I had a $1 coupon off Kiss Nail Dress so that made it $2.49.


 All in all, I spent at $3.50 for everything!!! But....I'm not finished! LOL! I'm looking for a Revlon Custom Eyes Palette in Metallic Chic ( neither one of my CVS' had any Custom Eyes Palettes period) and I might go back and get all the Kiss Nail Dress in Princess left.
