NO BUY NOVEMBER PART3 LIP PRODUCTS

Hi everyone,


I cannot believe we are already in mid of week three here on the "No Buy November" and this week we are looking at lip products that have been hibernating in our stash and need to come out. Again I have several to share as lips and eyes are my two favourite types of beauty products. To me there is nothing sexier then a good set of lips.

WOW ladies hopefully you all have been good this month and didn't sway from the "NO BUY" because we are almost there, 11 days and then its beauty buying freedom again. However I have found it rather easy to do this "No Buy" because for starters I don't buy a lot of high end and there has not been a lot at drugstore level that has been making my heart flutter for the holidays. I also have been busy doing Christmas shopping, decorating and doing fun family activities that has been filling my time and taking my mind off buying beauty products that I really don't need.
Any way after that randomness lets get started.

First are three lipsticks that I really love, but with how many I have it's hard to keep up.

ELIZABETH ARDEN EXCEPTIONAL LIPSTICK IN- CORALINE

 

 

NYX CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICK IN-POWER

 

 

 

REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS MATTE LIPSTICK IN- 011 STORMY PINK

 



 

I am enjoying that the lipsticks I have been reaching for all offer something different the Elizabeth Arden is a nice shimmer shade, the Nyx lipstick has great opacity and is very rich on the lips and the Revlon is the perfect matte lipstick all around without being overdrying.

 

L2R: CORALINE, POWER & STORMY PINK

 

 

I also have three glosses to share which now that we are heading into winter I tend to reach for more. They tend to keep my lips moisturized longer and I like shiny lips especially out in the sunshine and snow.

 

BATH & BODY WORKS LIPLICIOUS IN - WHIPPED VANILLA

 

BEAUTIFUL SHIMMER AND YUMMY TASTE

 

 

TONY MOLY CRYSTAL GLAM COLOR GLOSS (CAN'T TELL YA THE NAME AS IT'S ALL WRITTEN IN KOREAN) SORRY!

 



 

I LIKE THIS GLOSS BECAUSE IT ALMOST SEEMS FROSTY WITH IT'S BEAUTIFUL LIGHT PURPLE HUE, I ACTUALLY FORGOT I HAD THIS AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN I WAS RUMMAGING, GREAT WINTER LIPPY:)

 

 

NYC CITY PROOF EXTENDED WEAR LIPGLOSS IN- ROUND THE CLOCK RUBY

 

THIS IS TRULY A CANDY APPLE RED THAT IS PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND WHAT SHINE AND PIGMENT

 

 

LASTLY ALL THOUGH I TOTALLY LOVE MY BARE ENGLISH & CO. LIP BALMS I STILL WILL REACH FOR OTHER'S AS WELL AND THE TWO I HAVE BEEN USING THIS PAST WEEK OR SO ARE BOTH BY SOFTLIPS WHICH ARE

 

 

SOFTLIPS PURE LIP BALM CALLED- BERGAMOT PURE

 

AND SOFTLIPS NOURISH IN - FRESH LAVENDER

 

 

I have had both of these lip balms for quite some time and I believe I picked them both up at my local Dollarama. They are super hydrating and the one called PURE really is a lip rescue in a tube. Times my lips have been severely chapped this is the only product that will help next to Vaseline.  

 

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS LOOK AT MANY VARIETIES OF LIP PRODUCTS AND MAYBE DISCOVERED SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY.

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LIP PRODUCTS FOR WINTER AND CHAPPED LIP RELIEF?

TONY MOLY'S FIRST CANADIAN STORE

Hi everyone,

Happy week-end hope the weather is good where ever you are. Sadly I woke this morning to a smattering of snow yet again, this weather is ridiculous.

So today is all about TONY MOLY they recently opened what I believe to be their first Canadian location. This new boutique is located in "Pacific Mall" in Markham Ontario. So if you live in the GTA make a trip to Markham soon as I noticed more popular boutiques are making there way on to Canadian soil.

Starting with the eyes I purchased a mascara called double needs PANG PANG MASCARA
and it holds close to my heart because it is the most amazing electric blue I have seen in a long time. I can see fibers in this mascara and these are its claims. "It is easy cleaning, no panda, all day setting."
I have been using this mascara daily switching between it and the Maybelline Rocket. I love this mascara it has great staying power, it is easy to clean and no micro dots on your face from it. The color is fantastic and it very much reminds me of the good old days when Maybelline had the bright blue great lash.

This mascara does a nice job of separating the eyelashes as well. As you can see it has a standard bristle brush with no fancy silicone or odd spikes at the tip. Some of the wands now are becoming more bizarre all the time. They look like a weapon for a sci-fi film or something. In terms of price this mascara is very comparable and in line with any brands that you buy at big box stores or drug stores. Tony Moly was having a discount for the grand opening so I paid about $8.99 it is normally $12 it is a standard size tube at 12g.

***********A MUST TRY FOR FANS OF BLUE MASCARA************

Up next we have lip products.
 I spotted this gorgeous lip gloss, I can tell you what type it is but I have no idea what the color is as it is all in Korean. It is called CRYSTAL GLAM COLOR GLOSS. It is one of the nicest lip glosses I have bought lately and it the most lovely pinkish purple with a fine glitter. I just love this gloss and it does not feel tacky on the lips and has a nice smell and taste. It actually reminds me of the product a few years back by L'Oreal called "glam shine holographic"

 

This lip gloss has a generous amount not sure specifically again as its all in Korean print. It cost me with discount $7.49.

 

 

Then the sales lady mentioned that if I like a gloss but also a nice stain to try this next product which I think is super cool.

It's called BERRY BERRY MAGIC So these lip pots have a gel like gloss in them they are both translucent but one is clear and one is a deep raspberry color. Upon application it only takes a moment and they change color on your lip and stain them this really nice red that I feel will compliment many skin tones it looks so natural and gives your lips that truly natural bee stung look.

The swatch looks quite light but as it continues to warm with your body temperature it deepens but not harsh or to over the top. These will last a very long time and the added bonus was because it was the Grand Opening I got these for $5.70 as it was a BOGO offer.

 

Moving along and lastly is three nail polishes and they too were all on sale.

I have not had a chance to actually wear them and see how long they last on busy hands but I love the colors no less.

 

First is a Super bright neon GREEN

 

The one thing I did notice with this nail polish line is it has a funny undertone that reminds me off Paper Mate white out, YIKES.

 

Then I also grabbed a bright neon pink

 

 

and lastly a very true bubble gum pink

 

These are very fun bright colors perfect for Spring and Summer, these again were on special the neon pink and green were $3 and the bubble gum pink was $2, great deals. There were many other colors to choose from but I had to maintain.

 

I could have easily bought a lot of other items I found interesting that I would like to try, but I was already at Pacific Mall for other purposes. I will be visiting Tony Moly again soon.

 

It is important to remember that now that Asian cosmetics are becoming more attainable in Canada we can all discover great new products instead of always buying the same brands over and over. You as a buyer/consumer sell your self short by not being adventurous in the world of cosmetics. As we say in Canada "IT'S YOURS TO DISCOVER" ;)

 

That's everything for today and I hope you all have a great week-end

 

Coming soon: NYX huge haul and review, Gosh Nail polish, Ceramic Glaze, Limited edition Essence Line, Perfume reviews, L'Oreal trendsetter nail polish collection and much much more...

 

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
