Beauty Vixen

 Another month, another big batch of empties. Woo, I'm feeling good about his purge.
Let is see what is in my outgoing empties mail bin.
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duo in Green Eyes (black side): So I've had this forever, but I use disposable wands with the green side, which is why I got it in the first place. I was sick of having the black hang around when I never used it. So I FINALLY (been trying forever) popped it off, leaving me with the green side. Would I buy it again? Yes, I like these mascaras and they have such strong coloured sides, the black is great too, I just couldn't justify having that part around any longer.
Marcelle BB Cream in light: I love this product and used every drop of it up. Would I buy it again? YES! I've got the SPF version on the go right now.
Bourjois Volumizer Mascara: This is a double wand mascara. Would I buy it again? No I like the rimmel version better.
ELF Studio Mist & Set: A finishing spray from elf Would I buy it again?  No, I like the bottle, sprayer and the product better in the ELF Mineral line better.
Mary Kay Satin Hands Smoothie Hand Scrub in Peach:  I love this stuff, it lasts forever. Would I buy it again? Yes! I have big pump of it in my washroom right now.
 Joe Fresh Nail Polish Remover in Regular: I got this for the pump Would I buy it again?  No,  I need full acetone, I cannot bother with anything less.
The Body Shop Natrulift Serum: I love this stuff so much it isn't even funny  Would I buy it again? Yes, but I bought the VIT C version and I need to use it up (BTW I am hating the smell of the Vit C line).
ELF Studio Lotioin Wipes in Vanilla and Coconut:  I love these in the summer for fast moisture Would I buy it again? Maybe, they dried out really fast.

So that is what fit into my mail box, but wait there is more in a bin.
So these are three perfumes I just never ever wore and am choosing to toss or give to someone, or ditch in the buildings laundry room (it is where you put crap for people to take, ex. VHS tapes, old books, CDs). 
Avon Ungaro, Avon Make Me Smile abd Nina Ricci  L'air.
John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Conditioner: oh my lordy, another one of these.  Would I buy it again? NO!!!! How many of these did I buy when they were at dollarama? What's that? I'm on the last one, it is almost gone. WOOO!
Nexxus Conditioner: I got this in a GlossyBox Would I buy it again? maybe, I did like it a lot.
Makeup Forever HD Elixir: I love this stuff Would I buy it again? Already onto a new bottle.
Constant Beauty Foaming Face Wash I never really liked self foaming washes  Would I buy it again? No.
EOS Lip Balm in Honeysuckle: I hate this stuff,over rated and waxy.  Would I buy it again? No.
M. Asad Magic Fini: I got this in a glymm box and I got two somehow. Would I buy it again? Maybe, I do like it.
ELF Studio Complexion Perfecter Powder:  I actually really like this powder, I hit the pan and only a bit remains Would I buy it again? YEs, I have another one and one in warm that I plan on opening up.

My lips have noticed the change in weather, have yours? In honour of our  delicate lips and the care that they need, here are my favourite lip balms.

1. EOS Lip Balm in Honeydew Honeysuckle: Twist up lip balms can break and potted can get gross from dirty fingers. No need for fingers or twisting. This is more like a stick because it goes on a thiner film but feels really nice. The fact it is 95% organic doesn't hurt either.

2. The Body Shop 100% Natural Lip Roll on in Orange: I love the smell of this one. It is light and smooth, absorbs fast so you can put on lipstick right after and it will cling to your lips really well. All natural and tasty, this one is my newest and most coveted lip product.
3. CoverFx Mint GlazeFx: This has to be one of my all time favourite lip treats. I love how it feels, moisturizes, has spf in it and plumps up the lips. Oh and it now comes in quite a few amazing colours. This one is more like a gloss in how it goes on and feels on the lips (oh and it is minty and therefore tingles).
4. Avon Lip Balms: These are my cheapie option. They are available all year round in fun seasonal flavours, they are super cheap, so you can get a bunch and not worry if you loose them and they do a great job of moisturizing your lips. 
5. The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Lip Butter: This reminds me of lemon curd. So tasty and thick. I slather it on before bed time and use it more than any other product in the winter time. It is so amazing I just love it. Definitely for those that like a ticker lip product.
6. Blistex Silk and Shine: This is my drug store brand. It has an spf that makes it great, goes on smooth and silky leaving lips feeling just right.

1. Mark Nailed It in Mojito
The perfect Tiffany's blue/green. It is creamy and perfect. I cant stop wearing it and staring at it. I like adding some tkb Hola Glitter on an angle at to the tips. So cute. Downside, it is small and comes with another colour I don't love much at all (I don't like it). Sigh. I want more of this.

2. Annabelle Smoothie in Mokamirage
I love this. It is a great no fuss no muss product for on hot days. Also a great base for eyeshadows. I cannot wait until the new shades are launched next month. ...really can't wait.

3. Joe Fresh Cream Lipstick in Bare
Nudes, on me...what? Ok, you'll never catch me in anything more nude then Mac Viva Glam V lipstick and gloss. I have about a million nude pink brown shades that I have been given, but never wear them. But this one looks good on me. I got so many complements when I did my Joe Fresh Nude look. I think it looks good  on me because it is just as pale as me where other nudes are a bit darker and just don't look that good.

4. EOS Lip Balm in Honeysuckle
I stubbled upon this and love it.  I love that the lid twists on but it is not a tub where I need to use my grubby fingers (lets face it the city and buses are dirty and therefor so are my hands). Oh and it smells fantastic.

5. Vasanti Matte Lipstick in USA
This is one I've wanted for a long time, now I have it and love it. It is by far the perfect red for me.
