Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Fire & Ice

I recently purchased Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade "Fire & Ice", mainly because of the vintage-style display in the store and the redesigned vintage packaging of the product... This could have gone horribly wrong, but I am pleased to say that I love this lipstick. I have not worn this brand in YEARS, mainly because I did not like the previous formulas. (It also used to taste weird.) The current formula is really moisturizing and decently lasting, and this shade is the perfect retro-style coral/red that I have been seeking.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

If you wear eye makeup, you need this primer.

I really don't know why I ever bothered to apply eyeshadow or eyeliner before I started using this primer. I guess I just thought that creasing, sliding, and disappearing makeup was inevitable. Well, I was wrong. I recently purchased some gorgeous, super-pigmented shadows from Sugarpill, and I quickly realized that I needed to use a primer in order to get the best color and the longest wear. Upon much research, I decided upon Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I am so glad I did. The primer is easy to apply and it dries quickly. The bottle and wand are a little weird, but that's easy to overcome.

Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub

My favorite scrub.

This is hands-down the best facial scrub I have used. It isn't harsh or super gritty, but it makes my skin so smooth and nice. Some scrubs are kind of scary and make you feel like you're sandblasting your face. This one, however, feels much more gentle so you don't have to worry about damage or negative effects. A little bit goes a long way, so you get a considerable value. Oh, and it smells nice, too.

Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme

Makes my feet soft and smooth.

Upon first application, the coconut/mint combination seems a little odd. That hesitation soon fades when you realize that this foot creme does its job well. It is a tad greasy, but how else could it moisturize that awful, scaly skin on your heels and soles? The formula enables you to really massage it in, providing the added benefit of rejuvenating tired feet. The creme does absorb into your skin, though, instead of just sitting on top of it pretending to moisturize like petroleum-based products.

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

The best!

I use Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme two ways: 1) To soften and moisturize my cuticles/nails when I'm doing my routine manicures. 2) As a quick fix to make my cuticles and nails look nice when I have been too lazy to give myself those routine manicures. The tin is small and portable, which makes it easy to whip out and apply when, at random times, you look down at your fingertips and realize they need some serious love. This moisturizes without being really greasy, and the lemon scent is really nice.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

I keep coming back.

This is the best lip balm I have ever used. From time to time, I try other brands, but I always come back to this one. I have perpetually dry, chapped lips, and this is the only thing that helps. I usually have several tubes stashed around so I'm never without it.

Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

Not like the original...

I purchased this balm with high hopes, thinking that it would provide similar moisture to the original, but with different flavor/fragrance. I was wrong. This balm seemed nice at first swipe, but the formula was way too light to give the moisture that my lips so desperately need. Lesson learned - I will be sticking to the tried-and-true original.
