Dasani Moisturizing Flavored Lip Balm

I'm always a sucker for the displays of random new items in Stop & Shop, and one of them had this Dasani Moisturizing Flavored Lip Balm, in "Pure Water Flavor". Who wouldn't be curious what water flavor taste like? Plus, for some reason I'm always attracted to drink brand chapsticks. Even today one of my friends saw this in my bag and said "Why are your chapsticks always drinks?!" Guess it's just a weird fetish. Any who, here's my review.

Pros: The product is really moisturizing and creamy, it always makes my lips feel really silky plus lasts all day. It has a very slight fruity smell, but it's a very clean scent so I like it. It actually doesn't have a taste if you get some in your mouth, which is probably where they get the "water" flavor from. Slim packaging makes it easy to keep in my pocket without much bulk, and it has a keyhole on the top of the cap.

Cons: The lip balm stick itself is thinner than a regular chapstick, so it tends to break off easily. The twist up design is annoying as well, sometimes when I roll it up it gets stuck and won't go back down. There's no SPF or anything, and I try to avoid that in my chapsticks.

Overall, this is such a fun little chapstick, and people are always asking where I got it, so I would recommend picking one up.

Bath & Body Works Haul

 

Bath & Body Works has some really good sales right now, so I'd recommend checking out their website before all the deals are gone! I literally just opened my package, and it came with a 20% off In stores and online coupon with $3 shipping, and a bunch of little coupons (Free item of your choice with any purchase of $15 or more, $10 off any purchase of $30 or more, and save 20% on your entire purchase)! The little coupons come on cardboard material, like little cards that you can put in your wallet, but I'll probably give those to my mom so she can get me some stuff from there for Christmas ;)! So here's what I got:

-Fresh Market Apple Anti-Bacterial Gel Sanitizer
I thought the packaging on this is super cute, and it'd be perfect to keep on my vanity for when I do my makeup. This was only $5 (the 50% off sale) and already without unwrapping it from the package I can smell the fresh apples. Mmm, it seriously smells like the real thing, a perfect fall scent, plus no gross sanitizer smell. The tag on the bottle says "Not Tested on Animals" which I'm super careful about, so I'm really happy about that! And let me just say, this is a really great value for only $5. You get a ton of product, and I can always just refill this bottle when it runs out.




-Warm Vanilla Sugar Eau de Toilette
I have a mini Vanilla Sugar lotion in my bag that I absolutely love, so I was excited to see this discounted from $26 to $13, and I believe it still is along with some other fragrances. I'm so happy with this, just because I've never owned any legit, full sized perfumes. The bottle looks so pretty, and there's so much product it will last forever. I was worried it wouldn't smell exactly like the lotion, but I just sprayed it and I'm happy to say it does. I definitely recommend going to get one of these before they're all out!






-Travel Size Secret Wonderland Body Lotion
They had some deal on the website that you could get a travel size of their new fragrance for $1, so of course I did. These are the perfect size to keep in my school bag, and they really last such a long time. I currently have a Vanilla Sugar one in there (for probably a little over a year) and there's still a lot of product left (even with everyone always asking to barrow it >:( ) I was worried I wasn't going to like the smell, but I actually thing it's really nice, nothing like I've smelled before. It's a little musky, so I'd probably stick to wearing this at night. But you can't beat a $1 value!



-Travel Size Secret Wonderland Fragrance Mist
Just like the lotion, Bath and Body Works had a deal where you could get the travel spray of their new fragrance for $2. It's the perfect size to pop in your bag, and I get sick of smells really easily so I wouldn't buy the full size anyway. Smells exactly like the lotion, like I said it's more of a night time smell to me.

I'm so excited that today my order from All Cosmetics Wholesale came in! I didn't order that much stuff, but on what I did get, I saved a ton of money. The link to the website is here and I would recommend looking there for some stuff you want, because it's generally cheaper than getting it from the drugstore or higher end stores! So here's what I got:

-Benetint by Benefit mini
I've been dying to get the full sized one, but I just can't justify spending $28 for a bottle when I'm not sure whether I'll like it or not. So I saw this, and it was only $5.99. If I like it I'll get the full size and I'll have a mini for my purse, if not, oh well at least I didn't waste $28.

-L'oreal Hip Jelly Balm Trio in Plush, Savory, and Luscious
I really wanted these because from online pictures they didn't seem to have any shimmer, which I despise in lip glosses. All Cosmetics Wholesale has a pack of the three mentioned above for $8.99, and I've heard that's the price of one, saving me $18.

-Rocket City all over color in Solar Slammin, Moon Groovin, and Cosmic Crusin
I wasn't planning on getting these because I wouldn't use them for anything other than eyeshadow, and I don't even where eyeshadow often, but the colors are so gorgeous that I had to (plus each one was only $1.99). I was kinda disappointed when I opened my package to find out how small these are, but it's fine because I'll probably never use the entire thing anyway.

Review of All Cosmetics Wholesale:

I came across this site when I was looking for some discounted MAC makeup (yeah I know, bad idea)! They have a ton of high-end and drugstore brands to look through, and they update their stock frequently. I'm not sure if I'll order from them again, just because with all the savings you make, they gouge you with the cost of shipping (standard is $8.50)! But I guess I still saved $9.50 on the L'oreal Jelly Balms, so not a total loss. Also, on some of the products I got, they didn't put a label? My Plush L'oreal Jelly Balm didn't come with the label sticker telling you what color it is, and my Rocket City all over color in Cosmic Crusin didn't come in a little box, but the others did. Not a big deal, but it's just a little annoying because I like to store my stuff in the original box! So hopefully you check them out and find some good deals of your own (just make sure you still save money including the cost of shipping)!

I had such high hopes for this foundation since I've heard so many positive reviews about it. I went to Wal-Mart to pick out my perfect shade, and spent 20 minutes doing so with my mom so I'd have a second opinion. We found my color, W3 Nude Beige. I used it before school the next day, only to be mortified when everyone kept telling me my face looked orange.

Pros: This foundation is super blendable and works well over concealer.

Cons: I know I have an exact match shade, but this foundation looks different in my schools fluorescent lights than my lights at home. I look like I belong on The Jersey Shore, because for some reason this color makes my skin really orange-y! From looking at the bottle, I can also see that the foundation itself has little specks of glitter in it, which is irritating, I want my foundation to be completely matte!

So I wouldn't recommend this product if your match is W3 Nude Beige, but maybe it works better for other skin tones.

Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen

No-mess liquid eyeliner creates a precise line from soft to dramatic 

-Felt tip controlled application

-Smudge-proof lasting color that wears up to 16 hours

-Easier to apply than traditional liquid eyeliners

Available in 3 Shades:

• Blackest Black
• Black
• Blackened Brown

Pros: Lasts through the day without any cracking line some other liquid liners. Would be good for really detailed body art.

Cons: It took me at least 5 minutes of tugging to finally get the cap off, and when I did, I was overwhelmed by a gross odor. It smells like a moldy sharpie pen. The felt tip applicator is nice, but it's really hard to get close to your lashline as you need to turn the pen completely horizontal to your eye to get the thick line. I find that the color comes out uneven; the product is really liquidy. I have to let it dry, and go over my line again to get it to be the actual "Blackest Black" color.
