Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm-Hibiscus

Guess I've just been Hibiscus crazy lately. At first I thought this color would just be too much because it looked so dark in the tube. I was wrong, this really gives a sheer coverage, which is something I really love when it comes to lip balms, I don't like when they over power me. Another thing I love is it's 100% natural. I'm a big fan of natural products. The price wasn't too bad. I picked this baby up for $6.99 at whole foods.

There is a few huge problems I have with this lip balm. It's not very moisturizing. It doesn't leave my lips super soft like others do. It does moisturize a little bit, just not enough for it to really help. The scent is also something I'm not a big fan of. I have no idea how to describe it besides unpleasant.

Overall it's a decent lip balm, nothing too special. I'm not sure i would purchase it again.

NYX Stick Blush in Hibiscus Review

These stick blushes are amazing! I seriously have too many of them, because of that one of these will be sold in my blog sale. Anyways, NYX has created a seriously pigmented blush. I apply it by swiping it across my cheeks and blending like mad. If you don't blend well enough...well, the blush will leave weird streaks on your cheeks. The key is to blend, blend, blend.
Another thing I like is the packaging. It's little and cute. Theses fit in the palm of my hand and are awesome for carrying around in a purse or for travel. They're also very durable, the plastic cap snaps on to the bottom for an extremely tight seal. Which is great, you never have to worry about the cap popping off and getting lost.
Swatches will be up soon!

bareMinerals "Hope" Review

BareMinerals have always been a favorite of mine (As I'm sure you'll come to find out). A few days ago I went to the BareMinerals store in my mall and found one of the most beautiful colors I have even seen. It's a pinky/purpley shade with little shimmers. Hope definitely doesn't lack shimmer! This shade is seriously pigmented too, if my camera allows it, I'll definitely put up a swatch.
