Product of the week!!

My product of the week - Satin Lips® Set by Mary Kay

Lips have an extremely thin outer protective layer. As the body ages, the already thin layer becomes thinner. To compound the situation, lip skin does not have sweat or sebaceous glands. Without the usual protective layer of sweat and body oils, the lips dry out faster, become chapped more easily and can age faster than other areas of the skin. Satin Lips® Lip Mask effectively exfoliates dead surface skin cells that cause lips to appear dull and lifeless, preparing them for the best application of supermoisturizing Satin Lips® Lip Balm for soft, kissable lips.

Application Tips

•        Gently apply Lip Mask to lips.
•        Massage and leave on for 1-2 minutes, then remove.
•        Follow with Lip Balm.

 

How it Works

•        The Satin Lips® Lip Mask contains miniature beads that gently, yet effectively exfoliate dead surface skin cells that cause the lips to appear dull and lifeless.
•         The Satin Lips® Lip Balm contains a special complex of ingredients, including vitamin A and E derivatives and Ceramide 2, to help condition dry and rough lips. The balm moisturizes the lips for at least six hours, while providing an invisible barrier to keep the lips hydrated.

Good Find- This Week!

I've taken a break from the acrylic nails and have been on the hunt for quality, long lasting (as in more than two days) nail polish since.

I happen to come across this bottle that my daughter was using. We like each other’s fashion sense, but nail art or design.. eehh…. Not so much. Oh my gosh, I fell in love right away.

              This is Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Mint Sorbet, a lovely pastel minty green shade. 

It comes in long cylindrical bottle with a metal finished gray applicator handle and the name is posted on the top the cap which makes them easy to pick from the stash. It doesn't have any blue undertones, just a true mint green shade that is soft and soothing to the eyes.  

The formula is well pigmented which gives full coverage in two coats. Yes, two works just fine.  It dries pretty fast and has a creamy finish, a top coat can be added if you want a glossier shine. It doesn't chip easily and lasts 4-5 days, and is affordably priced at a little as 2.48$ for 11.8ml.  Yes, $2.48 in Wal-Mart, but can also be found at Target, Walgreens, CVS,  ULTA, Kroger even Family Dollar and Dollar General.. It’s everywhere!  

 

It makes a lovely spring/summer color.  Love, love, love it!!  Good find! Thanks Brianna!
