HYDRATING LIP PRODUCTS FROM TARGET THAT WILL SAVE YOUR CHAPPED LIPS

Published on by Lee2 Comments

Dry, chapped lips? We’ve been there — and take it from us, it’s far from fun. Flaky patches make it nearly impossible to apply a lipstick and a dry, cracked, tight texture can all but remove your ability to smile. Thankfully, better days are in sight. Target (or as we like to say, Targét) has some seriously soothing and hydrating lip formulas stocked on its shelves. And get this: You don’t have to sacrifice color, shine or style. From matte lippies to dreamy glosses, we’ve rounded up our favorite hydrating lip products from Target — all under $20 — ahead. 

If You Want a Hydrating Lip Plumper… 

We’re all about getting a plump pout with a simple swipe of a good lippie. Our go-to? The L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Plump and Shine Lipstick. With nine fruity flavors, a tingly feel post-application and a high-shine finish, we can’t get enough of this hydrating lipstick. It’s perfect for a sheer tint on the regular or to plump up your lips for date night. Hi, yes, we’ll take one of each shade please. 

If You Want a Hydrating Matte Lip…  

Whoever said matte lips we’re drying AF, please meet the NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie Lipstick and prepare to be proven wrong. This quick-drying, pigmented and long-lasting product is a must-have matte lip that looks tattooed on — in the best way possible. The velvety formula is infused with vitamin E to help your lips feel and look soft. 

If You Want a Hydrating Lip Gloss…

In 2020, we’re bringing the lip gloss trend back from our middle school days, #sorrynotsorry. And if we’re being honest, there’s no better high-gloss, high-shine option than the Milani Keep it Full Lip Plumper. A smooth and non-sticky texture and a formula packed with hydrating peptides and hyaluronic acid, make it a no-brainer on our list. 

If You Want a Hydrating Lip Balm…

If your chapped lips are majorly struggling to retain moisture, it’s best to set aside any lipsticks or glosses. Instead, toss the Weleda Everon Lip Balm into your pocket and apply on repeat. This ultra-nourishing pick is designed with jojoba oil and rose wax to give relief to dry, irritated lips. And, with a slight glossy finish, you’ll still feel like you have some shine. 

If You Want a Hydrating Lipstick…

When it comes to lipstick, the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick gets gold stars all around. From a luscious, creamy texture and high color payoff to its super hydrating formula and silky application, this lippie is an automatic add to cart. Honey nectar gives the product a smooth and flawless look that will have your lips feeling softer and smoother. 

If You Want a Sparkly Topper…

Amp up your glam in a quick second by gracing your lips with a bit of the Pixi Lip Icing. It’s a glimmery, shimmery, shiny dream of a lip gloss that comes in three colors: Cookie (a light pink), Candy (a hot pink) and Toffee (a light nude brown). Swipe it over any lipstick or let stand on its own for a sparkly finish. Rose hip and marula oil hydrate, so you know your lips will be feeling good and looking good, too.

With three different eyeshadow duos, this gift has it all to create a festive holiday eye or muted, natural everyday look. Not to mention, they’re super-pigmented shades and easy to blend.

The set contains Total Temptation, Lash Sensational, The Colossal and Great Lash in mini-versions. We love this gift set for the friend that’s always on-the-go because the minis are great to toss in a carry-on bag.

So, if you’re stuck at the office and need a little refresh before running to an after-hours party, look no further than this dry shampoo and accessory set. There’s no need for a blowout, just spray a little dry shampoo, fasten the rose gold pin in the front of your hair and voilà, a total hair makeover.

Make sure your face is makeup-free post-party with the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Remover Set. It has cleansing water (in full-size and travel-size) and on-the-go makeup removing wipes.

This $9 Cleanser Is The Answer To Clear, Smooth & Oil-Free Skin

Published on by Lee1 Comment

With summer so close by, we’re feeling the pressure to strip back our cake face and go as natural as possible during the warmer months. After all, sweat is the enemy of a cake face, so the less we have to pile on, the better we’re gonna look as the day goes on. So, with thoughts of less foundation, we’re taking our skincare routine into overdrive.

Fortunately, we came across a 2-in-1 cleanser that has become our new best friend – not just because it costs $9, because it works so well to fight oily skin, congestion, and skin texture. Trust us when we say the Neutrogena 2-in-1 Skin Detox Clarifying Clay Wash Mask* is packed with some of the best oil-controlling, pore-busting ingredients that will detox your skin and keep your oil in check for the hot summer months.

The oil-free, non-comedogenic (won’t cause clogged pores) formula is packed with salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that cleans deep into pores to dissolve the glue that binds toxins and dirt in the pores, while their Barriercare cleansing technology helps preserve skin’s moisture levels. Glycolic acid also helps to clarify pores and remove surface dead skin cells that cause the complexion to look dull. Finally, Kaolin and Bentonite Clay draw out toxins, dirt, and oil that cause breakouts, while glycerin adds a hit of hydration.

We love that we can use this as an everyday cleanser but also use it as a mask two or three times a week. To use it as a mask, apply a thick layer to the skin and leave it on for three minutes, before thoroughly washing away. Prepare to feel super soft skin! After using this for just two weeks, we noticed our oily T-zone looked less and less shiny, our skin texture improved, and pimples also became less frequent. We also recommend using an exfoliator once or twice a week (like the Neutrogena Skin Detox Cooling Scrub).

*Note, if you’re based in the US, this cleanser is called the Deep Clean Purifying Clay Cleanser & Mask and for those in the UK and elsewhere, it’s called the 2-in-1 Skin Detox Clarifying Clay Wash and Mask, although both formulas are exactly the same!

$5 Mink Lashes?! — DODO Lashes Review

Published on by Lee4 Comments

Hello Beauties, I got sent these beautiful lashes by a brand called Dodo Lashes. They sell 100% handmade cruelty-free mink lashes and the quality is amazing. They have many different styles and they sell them separately or in pairs of 4, 8 or 12. They are very affordable as well, ranging between $5 and $12 with free shipping over $30!

They sent me a bunch of styles including D115 and D105 and I am in love with them. They are 8 – 15 mm long and have a cotton band. You can wear these lashes up to 25 times (!!!) which is amazing as they only cost you $5. The style of these lashes is very classy and would be perfect for brides, prom looks or just an everyday natural beat. These lashes are super soft and lightweight.

The packaging looks very chic. It’s in an acrylic little box which you can slide the lashes out of on either side. The packaging is very easy to use and it’s perfect to keep storing your lashes in so they stay in perfect condition. The package makes it very easy to travel with in my opinion.

DODOLashes have a very thick band which means it is very easy to apply, and the thicker band ensures the lashes stay intact for a longer time. Plus, you can wear any of the lashes up to 25x with proper care. Overall I am completely satisfied with these lashes.
