Review! Mary Kay Satin Lips Set!

Hello beautifuls! Short review of a new product that I've been trying and loving for the past week. As you know, I've recently become a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant and my first May Kay product was their Satin Lips Set on the first facial night I attended. 
I wanted to really try this product out for a week to see it's full potential, it affects, and if it really worked before I raved about on here. You all know I'm a huge fan of lip products!

The packaging is simple but still classic looking, not bulky at all!

Both packages provide ingredients, distributor information, where they're made, how much of the product you get, and how to use it! First package is the lip mask and second package is the lip balm.

Both the lip mask and balm are in squeeze tubes, making it easy not to waste the product. The lip mask it a skinny squeeze applicator while the balm is a slanted applicator perfect for lip application.

Application: The lip mask ideally can be used two to three times a week, while the balm can used however many times you wish. 
Lip Mask: apply the lip mask (it has a slight white look to it and tiny beads which help exfoliate your lips) and you wait 10 minutes. I liked doing this while I do my eyebrows and eye makeup before moving on to my foundation that way I don't mess up the process of the lip mask. Next, wipe mask off with a clean wet tissue. Lip Balm apply the lip balm. The lip balm moisturizes for up to 6 hours and provides a barrier from harmful environmental elements.

Pros:
Inexpensive
Does what it says it does
Made my lips feel smoother and product application smoother
Cons:
Online Ordering

Final Thoughts:
Besides the con of being online ordering, I really loved this product. I would order it online, it's $18 plus shipping?  Not bad at all and it did what it said it was supposed to do. If you would like to order this product or find out about it you can go to it's page here: Mary Kay Satin Lips Set

August 2016 Empties!


Hi beautifuls! August is over and now we're finally heading into the rest of the year, the soon to be holidays, and cooler weather. I honestly can't believe how fast this year went, even though I've been gone in the beauty world here online a good portion of it (due to personal and health issues) but, we're going to make the best of what's left of it. Today is my August 2016 empties. Sadly, some of the photos did not export over properly so the video that will be edited and uploaded to the YouTube Channel will have more of what my empties were.

Hair Care
Redken High Rise Volume Lifting Shampoo & Conditioner:
I remember talking about this as a favorite back in May (that's how long it's been since my last blog post, oh my) and I finally finished this. It lasted me this long since I don't wash my hair everyday and I used a little bit when I did because it lathered up SO WELL. I was pleased with this set. The smell was very exotic and fragrant and it did give my hair volume.

Redken Pillow Proof Blowdry Two Day Extender:
I don't know how I felt about this. I thought I liked it and then I realized it didn't last that long and I paid a lot for it (even though it was during the Buy 2, Get 1 Free at Ulta) it's normally about $13-15. It did help with oil in between washes but I don't think it pillow proofed anything.


Skin Care:
EOS Shave Cream (Tropical Fruit):
I finished this entire bottle, I can't believe it. Previous EOS shave creams I've had to tose them because they've either made my legs extremely sensitive afterwards or the pump has clogged up on me. This one actually did the opposite; it was nice on my skin, didn't dry them out and it smells great!
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub (Moroccan Rose):
Of all the sugar scrubs this brand makes, this by far might be my most favorite. But then again I'll probably say the same thing about another one one I find. This smells like you're a field of roses and it's so soft compared to the other sugar scrubs I've used and really helps with getting my legs prepped before shaving, smoothing my arms and legs and bottoms of my feet.

Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Wipes:
I really did like the first pack that I bought but then I started to not like these at all. It took me two wipes to take off my face makeup (I use eye makeup remover for my eyes) and it burned my face. Not so sensitive Burt's Bees.
Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash
This is an all time favorite. I use this with my Clarisonic to cleanse my face after removing my makeup with my eye makeup remover and makeup removing wipes and this gets any extra that I missed, plus cleans my face very well.

Bath & Body Works Wallflowers (Driftwood Surf, Tiki Beach, Mahogany Teakwood):
These were a huge disapointment. Normally when I get wallflowers from Bath & Body Works, they fill the room quite nicely and it smells good but, this three lasted maybe a week and then burned out and stopped working. Teakwood is an all time favorite and the other two I can't say much since I couldn't get a good scent from them.

ScentSationals Wax Melt (Blackberry Cognac):
This smells amazing! You can defenitely smell the blackberry in this melt and a small hint of cognac which has a sweet smell to it but other than that, a wonderful smelling wax melt. Unfotuntely I only got about 4-6 hours max out of this wax melt which is typical of this brand from my experience. Can't complain for $2 though!
WoodWick Wax Melt (Dew Drops):
I can't remember where I bought this wax melt but, I will never be purchasing this one again. I got about 1-2 hours of light scent from this one and the original candle has a much heavier scent.

Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant

Hi beautifuls!

I know it's been so long since the last time I blogged or filmed. I had so many personal things going on, I had to let the beauty world sit in the background for a few months while I worked on some very important issues.
I'm still doing YouTube, my Etsy shops are still up and running and they've gotten good business since starting and, the next news is exciting for me;
I'm now a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant!
I was invited by a co-worker to attend an event (since she knows I have a youtube channel and have makeup skills) and I fell in love with their satin lips set (which I'll be doing a full review on very soon). I got to try their skin care line which I love, they are cruelty-free, no animal testing, and donate to charities. I decided to share their experience and brand. 
If you're interested in the brand or you're a customer, feel free to come check it out;
