REVIEW- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

 I'm baaaack! And I have a new product to review! Well itself might not be a new product but to me it is. It's the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream! I am obsessed with this lip product. I have been using it for a couple months now and haven't been able to use anything different when I want color on my lips. It comes in a variety of amazing colors and I want every single one of them. It is hard to find specific colors in store though. Every time I go to Target or Ulta they have very few. Understandable though, they're great. I currently have four of them but want a couple of the darker colors they have. 
  Another thing I like about them is that they're a light MATTE. This has been my favorite type of lipstick/gloss. It makes it easier to overdraw your lips and I personally feel like matte lip products last longer throughout the day. Which is GREAT for me! 
  Below are pictures of the four colors I currently have. Not a huge fan of the lightest pink color, but I'm sure I could find one that looks best on me.

 I found all these products at Target and Ulta. If you wanted other colors the NYX website has SO much more. I have been wearing San Paulo and Prague like crazy! So go check them out and tell me what you think! Take pictures and let me know if you have any of the other colors too. :)

My Sister's Lashes

  Yay! Finally a new post!
  So I have a little sister, her name is Allie. There are a few things I envy about her, her ability to stay motivated and work on herself during hard, stressful times in her life, being spontaneous and able to jump up at a seconds notice to go on an adventure, and her eyelashes. She already has fairly long eye lashes but they tend to face down and have absolutely no curl; but the things she does to them makes them look extra long and voluminous.

  I asked her to get together the products and steps she takes when getting ready during the day, focusing on just her eyelashes, so I could share it with you guys!

Step 1: Curl lashes with your eyelash curling wand. **I have noticed Allie to also use a small heated curling wand too.
Step 2: TWO coats of the waterproof Lash Blast Volume by Covergirl
Step 3: Put a coat of mascara on the top of the lashes **Allie says this helps them stay curled all day long!

  These steps are super easy to follow! It clearly works well for Allie. Try it and send me feedback for how well it works for you!

  Coming up in the next few days will be my favorite products from June-August! Stay tuned and remember to follow me on Bloglovin' and Instagram. You can also follow Allie on instagram (@allieeev)

Hydrated Colorful Lips

  I am a believer in wearing chapstick/lip balm, every day to keep the lips full and non-chapped. I am also a giant fan of pretty, colorful lips. I have found the best "in between" lip product! It is the COVERGIRL LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm.
  It is exactly what it says it is. It is basically a giant crayon-like applicator, that has enough pigment as a lipstick, yet feels like you're wearing lip balm. It's not heavy but you can feel the hydration. Now it may not last as long as some lipstick, but it's super easy to apply. And you can twist the bottom of the applicator to bring the "color part" up.

  So far I have this product in three different colors, a hot pink, a natural pink, and a dark pink/purple. I have worn this stuff to work, out to dinner, and just out shopping for the day. To make it stand out even more, I think applying a lip gloss over the top would make one's lips look SUPER juicy!

  And I also know I have found a winner when both my mom AND my boyfriend like the colors...woohoo!
