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 ingredients and it really made me feel more confident giving them a try. I particularly liked how she has unscented products because I am allergic to so many scents.

I decided to start out with the Peptide Lip Treatment. Now, this might sound like a cop out because it's not the more traditional skincare products in her line, but I am allergic to many lip products too so it was just as must a risk. In fact, the reason I wanted to try this one first was because I had recently had an allergic reaction to a lipstick I wore for an event and my lips felt horrible so the thought of a lip treatment sounded really nice. Luckily, after patch testing, I had no reaction so I was able to give it a fair try.

This stuff cured my allergic reaction in one day. One day! I think it's the best lip product I have ever used.

Consistency: 

Its consistency is unlike anything else I have ever tried. It's smooth, silky and overall feels like luxury. This product lasts for hours, even after the initial stickiness of the application wears off, you can still feel it working on your lips. 

Scent:

Rhode does have some scented flavors, but like I said, I went with unscented because of my allergies. 

Flavor:

While it is unscented, it does in my opinion have a good flavor. Which is key because bad tasting lip products are unusable. 

Color:

When the product exists the tube, it has a slight milky color but it goes on clear. I don't mind the clear, especially for a no makeup day or before bed. Rhode does have a Peptide Lip Tint in four different colors that are currently sold out but I would definitely give these a try in the future. I think the color will be really nice to add to my collection because the product actually nourishes my lips which is such a refreshing change of pace when so many lip products give me an allergic reaction.

Price:

The price for one tube was $16.00. I could see some people thinking this is expensive and others thinking it is not. Personally, I think the price is right because the product lasts a long time. A little goes a long way so I don't find myself buying new very often. 

Was it Worth the Hype?: YES

I will definitely be trying out some of the other Rhode products soon so stay tuned for more reviews on this line.

~XOXO~

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Project Runway 10-26-15 Final Part 1 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a Red Carpet look. Thoughts in the Workroom: I knew Edmond would get the save!! Edmond really did deserve it. Not coming in prepaired must put on so much pressure. Candice's red and white pants are SO cute! Wait, Ashley what is that stain remover stuff? I need that. Challenge: The designers will show the judges three looks from their collection for feedback. One of those looks would be created from scratch, in the workroom . Guest Judge: No one this week. Home Visits From Tim : Ashley: Tim visited Ashley's hometown where she revealed her Mexican heritage. Ashley is creating a plus sized collection. I think that it is awesome that she is going for it. There is such a need for quality, fashionable, plus-sized clothing. Ashley's mother supported her vision stating the importance of Ashley's vision. Tim praised Ashley for her innovation with her floral headpieces, however, he warned her that the judges may cal...

Project Runway 10-22-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a look inspired by the bridges of New York incorporating 3-D printed detailing. Challenge: The designers were flown to LA where the city served as their inspiration for a red carpet look. Thoughts In The Workroom: L.A has a Mood puppy! So cute. Ashley's fabric is very pretty. Edmond's fabric is gorgeous as well. Edmond No! Don't shorten! I hope Kelly's pants fit... Guest Judge: Christian Siriano Ashely: Boobs! Ashley picked a beautiful gold sequin fabric. However, the dress was not my favorite this week. Ashley's dress was floor length with a-symmetrical sleeves. On one arm, she had a long sleeve. The other arm, she had a spaghetti strap. The chest had a huge cut out between the sleeves that plunged down to her waist. The neckline was not flattering in my opinion. The judges were split on this look. Some of them thought that fabric was dated while others liked it. Heidi actually liked the very open c...
