Lip Monthly! Subscription Review

 

This review for today is going to be all about another Monthly Subscription Service. The one I will be discussing with all of you today is called Lip Monthly and this is a company I have worked with before in the past. Incase you missed the past review about this subscription service allow me to explain how it works for only ($12.95) you will receive 4-5 full sizes lip products in a makeup bag that is valued to be between $35-$55 which is crazy! They also have deals on their webpage if your interested in subscribing for a few months you can get a cheaper rate which is awesome. I think lip products are my favorite beauty products and I use them daily so really I can never have enough of them and I am such a huge fan of trying new stuff out too so this is perfect for me!

 

 

Each month inside your bag there will be a card that looks similar to this one that will list all the products that came inside your bag along with a price for the value of each product you received as well. I always check with this back at the end because I really like being surprised to see what's in my bag each month. So let's take a peek and see what I got!

 

 

The first product is a lip-gloss and this is by the brand Camilla which is brand I have never heard of before this product retails for $14 so just right here you already have your bag paid for just by the first product!

 

As you can see this a gorgeous color. This is probably my favorite color, as far as lip products go. I also tend to wear colors that are really similar to this one. I am super excited to try this one out and tell you all what I think about it. This gloss smelt amazing. It smelt just like fruits and it did smell pretty delicious to be honest lol.

 

Next up we have another product by the same brand which is Camilla. This product is a lipstick and this one retails for $14 as well. I must say I am a fan on how both of these products come inside little boxes. It makes it look a lot nicer.

 

This is the same color as the lip-gloss and it is gorgeous! I am really loving this color. I am really excited to see what this color is going to look like on. I must say the packaging for this lipstick is pretty nice as well. I love the chrome accents on the tube. It adds a lot to this product.

 

Next we have a product by the brand Cargo, this is another brand I have never heard of before but I am excited to try it out and see how I like this product. I love the packaging for this one. It comes in a small tin which is adorable. This product retails for $10

 

 

Well this product caught me completely off gaud. I was expecting a lip balm to be inside but nope they decided to switch it up a little. This a blush and bronzer in a duo. I love how tiny this product it. this makes it perfect for travel or even for just putting it in your purse.

 

The last product in my bag for this month is by the brand Ecolips, this is their ecotints lip balm and the one that I received is in sugar plum. This product retails for $3.49

 

 

As you can see this product looks a little different then your average lip balm. I love the shape of this product as you can see its not round like most lip balms are. I would say this is a little on the oval side. I must say this makes it a lot easier in applying sense your lips are more like this shape, compared to round. I thought this product smelt amazing, it really has a nice mint scent to it.

 

I decided to include some swatches for you all you can see what the lip products look like once they are applied to the skin.

 

The first swatch is the gloss, as you can see this is the most pigmented product that I got. This was just with one swatch of the wand on my hand. I was quite shocked to see how well this showed up.

 

In the middle is the lipstick which you can see is pretty as well. I would say this is a lipstick you could easily build up if you want a more dramatic look or you can just leave it like this for more of an everyday look.

 

The last swatch is the lip balm. As you can see this is a darker color. I would say this is a good tint to your lips and would be perfect if you don't really want to wear much. I was kind surprised to see that this product had some color to it. For some reason I was expecting it to go on clear, but this just makes it better lol.

 

As you can see I really got my money's worth in this months bag. I am highly impressed with this bag and I love all the products that I received this month.

 

 

Make sure you check this subscription service out for yourself. I am sure you will be in love with it just like I am.

Star Soaps by Ivana! Review!

Today I have a review for you all on an online shop on Etsy! This store is called Star Soaps by Ivana.

The shop owner Ivana, is super friendly and super talented as well. Her shop is packed with all kinds of different products. All of these products look amazing to me! She makes soaps, lotions, scrubs, lip-balms and so much more. All of her products are super unique and I just love her style. She has so many products and I'm sure you will find the perfect product for yourself.  She sent me three products to try out and I am excited to share them all with you!

The first product is a lip-balm. I am so excited that she included one of these because I am a huge lipbalm fan in general and I can never have enough of these to be honest with you lol. The scent she sent me is cookies, which just by the name alone I knew I was going to love this product. I am a huge fan of sweet/food scented things so this was amazing to me. Don't worry if cookie isn't your scent she has 9 others to choose from such as caramel, french vanilla, mango & papaya, banana, lemon, sweet tangerine, orange, mint, bubble gum, chamomile, and coffee.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/247702453/lip-balm-9-flavors-handmade-lip-balm?ref=shop_home_active_2

Retails:($3.44)

 

I must say one of my favorite things about this product is that the ingredients are listed on the side on the label. There will be no surprises with this product, you know everything that is inside which is nice. Especially if you have any type of allergies this will be perfect for you! The only ingredients that are in the product are beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, shea butter and cookie flavor!

 

I must say that the packaging for this product is pretty perfect as well. This looks like a product you would buy at the store. It easily rolls up and back down. It's super easy to use. As far as the actual product goes, I love it! It smells amazing, tastes amazing (which is important lol). I love the way this product glides on my lips. It's not super greasy or drying either. I think this is the perfect lip balm. It really moisturizes my lips and makes them feel amazing. I have been using this product like crazy! I am in love with this. I can only imagine how amazing the other scents of this product are.

The next product I have up to review for you all is an adorable hand made bar of soap. I love this one for many reasons. I mean just look at it this bar of soap is absolutely adorable. I love how this is a heart, and I also love the colors that she chose for this one as well.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/263283891/soap-set-handmade-soap-gift-set?ref=shop_home_active_4&ga_search_query=heart

Retails:($8.16) for the gift set!

 

As you can see from this picture there is actually a smaller white heart in the center of this bar of soap which is pretty cool. I love unique looking soap and this certainly is unique to say the least. I used this bar of soap in my bathroom around Valentines Day and I received several compliments from my quests who were over. Everyone thought it was adorable. It really added a small but simple décor piece to my bathroom. As far as scent goes this came to me in the scent strawberry which smelled amazing and sweet! I loved this and thought this was perfect for the bathroom. It made your hands feels really good and also made them smell great as well.

 

 The last item I have to review for you all is another bar of soap. This one is a little different then the previous one. This bar of soap is in the scent Cinnamon, which smells so good its not even funny lol. This soap smells so good I was tempted to eat it (which I don't recommend doing lol). I love the details in this one as well. It really looks like a cinnamon swirl. This soap in my opinion looks just like the Cinamon toast crunch cereal and it smells just like it too! This was pretty powerful in it's scent too! I thought the scent lasted quite a while and I was impressed.

Retails:($5.06)

 

Overal this shop is amazing and has such a great selection of products. I loved everything I got from this review and have been using all of them. I love everything listed in her shop as well. I highly recommend checking out this shop for yourself and finding the perfect product for yourself.

 

I want to thank Ivana for sending me these products to review. I love them all sooo much! I really hope to work with you again in the future, and I wish you best of luck for your shop!

Treat Beauty! Review!

I received three different products from online store that goes by the name of Treat!

 

'

The three products that I go are 2 jumbo lip balms and 1 lip scrub.

The first product is one of the jumbo lip balms. This one is in the scent Marshmallow cream. Let me just tell you I am huge fan of sweet scents that smell like food, and this smells amazing!! I am in love with the scent it literally smells just like a marshmallow. I am amazed by this. This made my lips feel amazing and really soft as well.

 

https://www.treatbeauty.com/products/treat-coconut-cream-old-fashioned-jumbo-flavored-lip-balm

Retails:($9.99)

As you can see from this image these lip balms are pretty big in size. There is a lot of product packed inside these lip balms, which means these are going to last you quite some time which is awesome.

 

 

I received the same product but in a different scent. This one is in the scent Coconut cream. I liked this one as well. I thought it smelt really good, and was super moisturizing as well. On this website they have so many of these listed for sale, and all the scents just sounds amazing so it was really hard to be able to pick out which scent that I wanted. I am super impressed with the ones that I chose and loved using these products.

Retails:($9.99)

 

 

To math the Marshmallow cream lip balm, they sent me a lip scrub which is in the same scent. I have used one of these in the past but it was one that was in a jar so I was unsure how this would be sense it was in a tube. I just didn't know how this would go. I instantly thought this would be a super messy product to use.

Retails($13.99)

 

 

Let me just tell you boy was  wrong. Making these in these jumbo tubes is an amazing idea. This is so much more sanitary too. You don't have to stick your finger in a jar or anything. You simple take the top off and twist the product up and BOOM your ready to go. This product is amazing and I am a huge fan of the packaging for this one. I think this is genius idea, and I'm so glad that I own my very own :) I loved using this product and thought it did a great job at exfoliating my lips.

 

I am super impressed with the all the products that I have tried from this brand. I have to say that the name of each scent of the product is pretty spot on to how they smell. I would love to try some more products from this brand. I highly recommend checking them out for yourself. I want to thank everyone at Treat for sending me these products! I truly do love them!

BeechRiverNaturals On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received two different items to review for all of you guys today from a shop on Etsy by the name of BeechRiverNaturals

As you can see in the picture above this shop sent a total of 4 different items. There are 2 different items. A hibiscus and a beet lip and cheek tint. This shop sent a sample size of each product for me to review for all of you, and then they also included a full size of each of the products for me to giveaway to one of you lucky people out there ;) So stay tuned because details with that giveaway will be coming up here shortly!!

Retails:($6.00)

Oooh Ahh! The photo above is the products you will have the chance of winning for yourself :)

These little guys are what I have had the chance to review for you guys. I've used these products for the last few days, and found both of them to be extremely similar. It says on the package you can use these for lips and on your cheeks. I'm not really a fan of cheek stains in general, but for reviewing purposes I thought I must try it out lol. To be honest I was impressed. This went on really nicely and had pretty good color payoff. I like the formula of these products, its a thicker, kind of sticky, but isn't messy. I think these will be great to just throw in your purse, and would be the perfect  thing to use to give your face a little color! I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of these, especially sense winter is officially here. I find these products to be really moisturizing, especially on my lips.

Here are the swatches of both the Hibiscus and Beet lip and cheek stain. As you can see they both have really good pigment. That was with just one little bit, these are pretty buildable as well, you can make these as dark, or as light as you like which is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'm wrong or not lol, but both of these looks like they are pretty much the same color. Personally I love the colors of these, they aren't too dramatic and could be warn pretty much year round. I think these colors are perfect for fall and winter though :)

Overall I'm impressed with these products and cant wait to use them some more.

This shop is packed with all kinds of other beauty products, I think they would be great gifts you could purchase a few different products and make up a really nice gift basket, which would be really thoughtful!

TheMuddyMoose On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I received a few different products to try out from a shop on Etsy called TheMuddyMoose

 

 

The first product I got to try out is one of their lip butter in the scent Bubble gum. I love the packaging for this one, you easily slide the top over and it opens. I was amazed by how much this really did smell like bubble gum.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/18162697/lip-balm-natural-lip-balm-flavored-lip?ref=shop_home_active_2

Retails:($3.99)

 

I'm not really a huge fan of bubble gum. So I decided to hold onto this and use this for one of my upcoming giveaways for you guys to enjoy!

 

 

Next up we have a foaming sugar scrub in the scent green tea and cucumber. I was very interested in this products when I first opened the package. A foaming super scrub? I have never heard of such a thing before. I am a huge fan of sugar scrubs in general so I was super excited to see a new type of product I could try out. Green Tea and Cucumber didn't exactly sound like a scent I would like either, but I was very wrong about that. This scent is so nice and clean it really reminds me of Cucumber melon from Bath and Body Works, from back in the day, that was one of my all time favorites.

 

As far as texture goes, they weren't kidding when they said it was foaming lol. This was probably one of the strangest textures of a scrub I have ever tried, and by strange I don't mean bad either. I really did enjoy this product it did an awesome job and exfoliating my skin, and wasn't too harsh on it either, which was really nice sense I have super sensitive skin. In fact I found this product to be really refreshing. The only bad thing I could say about this product is that I wish it was in a bigger container, and had more product lol. I love this product, and a little really does go a long way but I am going to be extremely sad when this is all gone lol.

 

Next up we have the same product but this time it's in another scent. This foaming sugar scrub is in the scent Lavender. I do really enjoy the scent of Lavender but sometimes My body decides to not let me lol. I sometimes get really bad migraines just from the scent, but that's okay! This will be another giveaway item!

 

Another thing I really like about all these products is that they all have the safety seals on them under the lid, which is really nice. I kept this one on so you guys can enjoy this product :)

 

A skin cream is next, in the scent Sandalwood Vanilla. This smells amazing, I was instantly hooked when I seen the name vanilla lol. I opened this and was surprised on well this smelt, I thought it would have a strong scent of the Sandalwood, but it really doesn't. In my opinion is just smells like vanilla.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/123817234/1-oz-goat-milk-face-and-body-cream?ref=shop_home_active_3

Retails:($3.99)

 

 

The texture is super thick and really creamy as well. I tried this on my hands and it was extremely moisturizing and felt really nice. I didn't have the chance to try this on my body, however I do think this would get a great lotion for after the shower. I'm really excited to try this product a few more times.

 

The last thing I have to review is a bar of soap. This one is in the scent spiced cranberry. This smells amazing, I can't even begin to explain to you how amazing this smells. It smells so sweet and yummy. I used this a few times  to wash my hands, before my mom stole this from me lol. This is her all time favorite scent of all time lol.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/230230276/homemade-goat-milk-soap-cinnamon-soap?ref=shop_home_active_7

Retails:($5.99)

 

 

This really is a nice soap, it does a great job at washing and cleaning my hands, and makes your hands smell great. I think this would be the perfect bar of soap for the kitchen, and this scent is great for the holiday season :)

 

 

Overall I'm highly impressed with this shop. There products work great, they are packed with amazing fragrances and all the packaging is great as well. These look like products you would buy from the store.

 

These would be the perfect gifts for anyone, you could make a really great basket out of these products from someone special in on of their favorite scents, and it would be a really great gift.

www.beeinspiredliving.com! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received two different items from a website by the name of www.beeinspiredliving.com you can also find this shop on etsy as well under the name "BeeInspiredLiving"

The first product I received is a All Natural Lotion Bar. Pretty much all this is, is a solid lotion. I have heard really good things about these in general but I have never had the chance to try it out yet. I was super excited when I seen this in the package. I opened it and was super surprised with how soft this product felt in my hand. I just used this to moisturize my hands and it did a phenomenal job at that. It went on really well, and sort of melted in my hand. It wasn't messy and it didn't feel greasy either which I thought would happen. This is a really great product.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/202013732/solid-lotion-bar-with-cocoa-butter?ref=shop_home_active_8

Retails:($6.50)

It came really well packaged. It came in a really cute small metal tin with the BeeInspiredLiving logo on the lid. It looks really professional and sleek. The product was actually wrapped up inside some tissue paper as well, so it wouldn't melt or get damaged during the shipping process. It arrived in amazing condtion, which is really hard to do sense I live in Florida, and 99% of the time products like this seem to get damaged lol. I really love the packaging of this product. It's the perfect size just to throw in your purse, and you don't have to worry about it leaking sense it's not a liquid!

The next item is this all natural lip balm in the scent peppermint. I would consider myself to be the lip balm queen! Lol I have sooo many. This product had some really high expectations to live up too. I was surprised how packed with scent this product is. I smelt the peppermint as soon as I opened up the package. I love the smell of peppermint and kind it super relaxing, so I was really excited to try this. When I was applying it I noticed it went on very smooth. It made my lips really soft as well. I was really surprised, I did really enjoy this product as well. I can picture this being the perfect lip balm in the winter time to heal dry and chapped lips, I'm super excited to use this in the colder months !
