Maybelline Babylips Lip Gloss Review

Hey guys! It is time for another product review. I did a review of the first Baby Lips that I purchased. You can check that out here: http://fashionistaforward5.blogspot.com/2013/02/maybelline-baby-lips-review.html  I am back to review another product today from the Baby Lips line. Personally, I love nude/natural lip colors so I was excited to try out the Baby Lips Lip Gloss flavor, Taupe With Me.

1. Packaging
Since packaging is the first thing you see, lets talk about it first. I thought that this product was excellently packaged. It has a very clean look, which I always appreciate when it comes to makeup. It gives the product a timeless appearance that makes me want to purchase it. For some reason, the fact that you can see the dense product was a bit disillusioning to me because it made me think that the product was going to be like a liquid lipstick even though I knew that I was buying a gloss. My favorite part about the packaging was that it was photogenic. Now this is probably something no one thinks about unless you are a blogger, but I thought that it was a nice touch!

2. Applicator
This product featured a sponge applicator. I thought that it was the perfect size. It is a small and compact applicator which allows you to specifically target the smaller part of your lips. Personally, I think lip products are the hardest to apply. I do not know why, but I feel like I always make a mess! The sponge applicator helps minimize this mess because it fits the size of my lips. (Comment down below if you make a mess with your lipsticks too lol).

4. Color, Taste, Smell, and Consistency
Again, for some reason I thought that this product was going to be a pigmented liquid lipstick even though I was conscious of the fact that I was purchasing a gloss. Aside from getting over that, I do think this product has a decent formula. It glides on pretty evenly, and it is not too sticky. This product has just a touch of pigmentation. You can tell that the lips are tinted a bit, but it is not a strong color. The taste of the Baby Lips Lipgloss was pretty good as always with their products. I said this about their regular lip product but, I thought that the sent on the gloss was initially overpowering and just like the origional product, got duller as I used it. This is what the product looks like on with no other colors or products mixed in (P.S I know my eyes look exhausted but I thought a picture of just my lips would be weird!) :

5. Build-ability
I do not think that this product is buildable at all. If you want to darken the tone, I suggest using a lipstick or lip pencil underneath. I added a lip liner by Ulta underneath the gloss in the picture below and you can see the difference:

Would I recommend this product: Honestly, I would. I think that this product can serve a variety of customers. If you are someone who does not like to wear a lot of makeup or who does not like lipstick, this is a perfect option. It is natural yet still has a hint of pigmentation. I would also recommend it to nude/neutral lip wearers as a product to top off your lip look. I certainly will use this to moisturize my lips if applying a drying lipstick first. Applying it as a top coat focused in the center will give your lips a new glow.

Comment down below and let me know if you have tried this product out yet. If you have, let me know what color you purchased and if you liked it.

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

June Favorites!!

Hey guys!! Another fabulous month has passed and what a month it has been! June was very stressful for me but also the biggest relif because it was the end of school and training for the day camp that I worked at. So I have a good amount of favorites for the month of June so I am going to go on and get into it. 1.) My  first favorite of the month is my Maybeleen concealer stick. I decided to stray from my Almay holy grail concealer and try out a more full coverage concealer because I was not getting a whole lot of sleep due to school so I had lovely dark circles. I have been using this product every day and kind of have a love hate relationship with it but decided to include it. Lets start with the pros. I love that it makes my undereyes glow and wakes me up a bit. I also love the coverage that it gives. NO dark circles will be seen when you use this product. I also really like the texture because it is really creamy and easy to apply. Now for the cons. I am pretty tan and so I b...
