Review on L'Oreal Infalible Le Rouge Lipstick

Review on L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick

I was curious about the L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks.  I always love finding lipsticks that will last a long time and give off luxurious color and that are a reasonable price.  These lipsticks do just that!  I have them in the colors Perennial Pink and Ravishing Red.

The Pros

 They are CHEAP!! Like I’ve said a million times, I love beauty on a budget!  The lipsticks are only $7.50 at Target (my favorite store).   

They provide great color!  They are bright and vibrant.  It only takes one sweep across your lips to get the color that you’re trying to achieve. 

They moisturize your lips!  A lot of lip color products that promise a long staying time tend to dry out the lips because the color is trying to adhere your lips.  Because these lipsticks have Vitamin E oil in them so they are very moisturizing.

The Cons

They do not stay on 8-10 hours.  For me, when I ate and drank, the lipstick would come off immediately.  However, for just my usual talking, licking lips, and gum chewing, they lasted a long time.  

So What Do I Really Think?

All in all, I think that these lipsticks are great!  Have you tried a lipstick, lip stain, or lip gloss that you are absolutely in love with?  Is there something out there you would recommend? Please let me know.  I am always on the look out for new, great products!  If you have any comments or questions, let me know!

 Favorite Summer Nail Polishes! 
You can also watch this review on my YouTube channel!

I love nail polish!  I am a girl who paints my nails every week, and I love the summer because you can wear more colors.  I love bright colors, they look good on everybody!  Here are some of my favorites!

   Essie nail polish in Tophy Wife.  I love this nail polish because it is a pretty blue-ish green.  It reminds me of days by the pool when all you do is lay out, go swimming, and having no cares!  Be careful when using this one though…you don’t want to paint it on too dark!

   Essie nail polish in Jamaica Me Crazy.  This is such a pretty pink-purple color with a little bit of a sheen to it.  This color is bright and people will notice your nails with this one on! I like putting this on my toes the best, but I have also used it on my fingers.

   OPI nail polish in It’s All Greek to Me.  Talk about a hot magenta pink…this is it! I absolutely love this color; I even wear it in the winter.  

 

    OPI nail polis in La Paz-itively Hot.  A true hot pink color!! I love it!

 

 Sally Hanson in Shrimply Divine.  I love this pink because it’s a nice mix between a hot pink and a baby pink.  You can play this color up or down.  I think going simple with this one, just doing a light coat of it when my nails are really short.  

    Essie nail polish in Fifth Avenue.  I LOVE THIS COLOR! It is a gorgeous hot bright coral orange.  It adds a little “umph” to your everyday nail polish colors.  People will notice this color on you.  

I love to add the OPI Black Shatter to bright polishes when it will look good.   I think nail polish is a great way to spice up your look, and express yourself in a different way.  I love encouraging my friends to try different nail colors because if you hate it…you can always take it off! Enjoy painting, ladies!

Getting Ready in a Hurry

Getting Ready in a Hurry!

I hate it when I wake up late.  I feel like everything has to be rushed, including my make up.  This is when the basics and simpleness come in handy!

First things first, decide what you want to showcase for that day.  That way, you’ll know what to focus on and it will make picking your colors easier.  On most days I want to make my eyes pop, so I go for a natural lip.  If I want my lips to pop then I got for a natural eye.  But once you decide on your focal point, then the rest is easy!

Eyeshadow!  When I have little time to get ready, I just use one eyeshadow.  If I want to the focus to be on my eyes, I choose an eyeshadow that is bright, like a purple or pink, and usually with a bit of shimmer.  If I want it to be all about the lips, I usually pick a color that is close to my eyelid color, like a gold or shimmering brown. 

Eyeliner!  When I’m in a rush, sometimes I use it and sometimes I don’t.  If I have a bold color on my lid and I’m in a hurry I don’t put any on.  When I do a more natural eye, I like using colored eyeliners.  They give a subtle pop. 

Mascara!  This is something I never leave the house without.   Whether you skip the eyeshadow and liner all together, mascara is a MUST! It makes your eyes look more awake and perky.  I always feel gorgeous if that is all I have on.

Powder! This is optional, but it is quicker than doing a whole foundation routine.  Powder helps mattify the face, but if you have oily skin, you may want to consider putting on a primer first. For summer, I like powder with a little bit of shimmer for a nice glow.

Blush! Again, this is optional.  A little bit of blush can add a touch of color to the face, but you never want to over-do it to look like a clown! 

Lipstick or Gloss!  This is the finishing touch.  If you want your lips to pop, make sure that you pick a bold color, but don’t overdo it.  Of course, make sure that your make up is appropriate for where you are going.  You don’t want to be in a big business meeting with hot pink lips!

With all that, you are DONE! I always use these steps and tips when I am in a hurry, or just when I don’t feel like putting on a bunch of make- up.  These steps are also good for the make up beginners out there!  Make sure you pick colors that work for you and don’t be afraid to try something new.  You can always take it off and start again. 

Stay Gorgeous ~Julia

Relax-Take a Bath (with Lush)!

Relax—Take a Bath (with Lush!)

I am someone who loves taking baths! I take them at the end of a hard day, when I feel good or bad, or just when I want to relax before going to bed.  My favorite company's products to use is Lush.  If you know me, you know I rave about this company!  All the bath products leave me feeling relaxed, smelling good, and amazed.  Sometimes their bubble bars and bath fizzes have little “surprises” in them.  The bath fizz (Fizzbanger Bath Bomb) I just used and my recent trip to the Lush store in Annapolis, MD inspired this blog!  I just wanted to share my three favorite Lush products with you!

1)      Lip Scrubs ($8.95 + tax)!  They are made with sugar and are good for your lips because they take off all the dead skin that is on your lips.  Plus, it tastes yummy because it’s made of sugar!  I have tried The C&O Bigelow Lip Buffer ($7.50 + tax) from Bath and Body Works, but it just doesn’t compare to Lush.  I have tried Bubble Gum and Sweet Lips flavors and I love them both!

2)      Bubble Bars ($4.95-10.95 + tax) These little bars are amazing!  It just takes a little piece of one and you have a mountain of bubbles!  The bubble bars smell so good, some even smell like candy! They have skin nourishing oils in them so I rarely put lotion on after my bath because my skin is so soft! Some of my favorites are It’s a Date, Creamy Candy, and Happy Birthday.  I have used other bubble bath from drug stores and Bath and Body Works and they are total opposites.  Although they achieve the same purpose of bubbles, the Lush bubble bars give you, your senses, and your skin an extra boost!

3)      Bath Bombs ($3.95-$6.95 + tax)  These bath bombs are awesome! They fizz in your bathtub and feel really nice.  What I love about these the most is that they change the color of your bath water, and the scent radiates from the tub.  It gets stronger the longer they fizz.  Also, just like the bubble bars, they are packed with nourishing oils for your skin.   My favorites are Ickle Baby Bot, Donkey Oaty, and Fizzbanger.

Those are my three favorite products from Lush.  I do not get paid to support this company.  I just really enjoy the products that they have to offer.  Other Lush products that I have used are their soaps, lip tints, massage bars, and solid perfumes.   If you aren’t sure about the company, go to a local store or order the cheapest thing off line. Their descriptions of scents and what products do is spot on the website.  Also, be sure to read the reviews.   I promise you won’t regret it!

Take time to get in the tub! ~Julia
