Wet N' Wild Balm Stain Crayon Review

Hiya Beautiful Peoples of the internet!
Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the Wet N' Wild Balm Stain Crayons with you!

I purchased mine at Walgreens in the shade, A Stiff Pink. I was expecting these to be not very pigmented and horrible but Wet N' Wild continues to surprise me! This balm stain is SO pigmented. I just throw this on my lips and I'm good to go. The color is most vibrant when you first put it on but that's like with any lip stain. The stain itself does stain your lips all day and doesn't come off when you eat or drink.

I believe these retail for around 2-3 dollars. When I purchased mine they were on sale for 2.00 and there was 1.00 off peel coupons! So mine ended up being only 1.00, quite a steal. If your looking for an inexpensive lip stain that will stay on your lips all day I highly recommend these! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed. If you have any questions leave them in the comments below!

Milani Eye Tech Bold- First Impressions

Hiya Everyone!
I was in need of a new liquid eyeliner so I picked this one up at Walgreens. It's the Milani Eye Tech Bold Liquid Eyeliner in 01 Black. I have only used this once so far and I am not impressed. I picked it up because I have heard good things about it but it will only make THICK lines! It's a felt tip which I like but there is NO WAY that this eyeliner would make a precise thin line! For more dramatic looks this would be good because you need thicker eyeliner but for everyday makeup I do not recommend this. Also it feels like it doesn't dry on my eyes, even after ten minutes if I swipe my finger over my eyes the eyeliner smears so much. I will keep trying to use this since this is just my first impressions. So far I give this a 2 out of 5 rating, 5 being the best and my holy grail. I also so far won't be repurchasing this product. You can see my swatches trying to make a thin line and a thick line which now kind of looks like a thick line and a super thick line. If you like this product please tell me how you use it to make it work for you because I really wanted this to work. Thanks for reading.

Organix Pomegranate Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner

Hiya Everyone!
Today I am reviewing the Organix Pomegranate Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner. I was looking for a new shampoo and conditioner when I came across this one at Walgreens. It smells amazing which is what instantly sold me but its also sulfate free which I wanted. So...I bought them and came home and used them, I have been using them for a couple of months now. It smells amazing like I said, It suds up in the shower very well and it gets my hair very clean. The only real problem with this is that it really dries out my hair. I need more moisture in my hair if anything so I do not need a shampoo and conditioner drying out my hair. I love the brand and have tried other things so I think I will try out the coconut milk shampoo and conditioner next but I will not be buying this one again just because of the drying effect. I love the packaging on these as well but I feel like for the price you are getting LESS product than if you bought a different shampoo. These are available at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and Ulta.
Thanks for reading!

ImPRESS Nails Review!!!

Hiya Everyone!
I have a recent new discovery thanks to Grav3yardgirl on Youtube. (I will have her linked below, you should go subscribe and join the Swamp Family!) Well through her videos she introduced me to the ImPRESS Press on Manicure or Press on Nails. I am in LOVE with these. The nails require NO GLUE, everything you need is in the box when you buy them. I buy mine at Walmart and Walgreens and they run anywhere from 5.49-5.99 but you get two uses out of one box. The nails claim to stay on for 1 week if applied properly and they do, I had my last pair on for 8 days before one came loose and I just took them off. They make your nails look so perfect with very little effort. My favorite print in the ImPRESS nails is the print called, Vamp It Up, which is pictured below, its the tie dye print. Impress also has these for your toe nails! I love those as well! I think the toe nail ones last longer than the finger nails in my opinion. With these you can't go wrong!

Softlips Holiday Collection

Hiya Everyone!
 I received a surprise in my mailbox a few days ago from Softlips and I thought I'd share what I think about it with all of you. Softlips graciously sent me their whole holiday collection of lip balms. They are all amazing and I will name them and tell you all a little bit about them. I received 6 packs of Softlips with two lip balms each in them.

 
The first one I picked up was Jack Frosting, this was the flavor selected by the fans of Softlips on Facebook. This is my favorite by far and smells just like a cupcake! It also has SPF 20( they all do) which is a plus! My Second Favorite out of all of them is the Softlips Peppermint Stick which smells just like its name, like a peppermint stick. Amazing on the lips, as in Softlips fashion. The Peppermint Stick is paired with the best- selling Softlips Pearl Tint lip balm. Jack Frosting and Peppermint Stick are available now exclusively at Target stores in the cough and cold aisle for the holiday season!
 
The other 4 Packs of Softlips are called the Holiday Gift Tag Packs. These all have convenient "To and From" spaces if you would want to give them as gifts and again all have SPF 20!
Softlips Vanilla with BONUS Wintermint and Softlips Raspberry with BONUS Sugar Cookie are available at select Target stores in the holiday section. The Wintermint smells like a peppermint patty and the Sugar Cookie again is true to its name, it smells like a sugar cookie!
 
Softlips Vanilla with BONUS Sugar and Spice and Softlips Raspberry with BONUS Sugar Plum Berry are available at Walgreen and Wegmans throughout the holiday season. Sugar and Spice is sweet and smells a bit like cinnamon to me but I had some other people smell it and all they smell is sweet sugar! I love it though. Also Sugar Plum Berry is a very berry scent with a dash of the sugar smell, just amazing. I am not disappointed in the scents of these Softlips!
These would make great gifts for co workers or friends and would also make great stocking stuffers! They're under 5.00! How could you go wrong?!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Hiya Everyone, I'm back again, this time to tell everybody about the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. I recieved this set complimentary to test and review from Influenster but that does not affect my review on them whatsoever. I recieved mine in the design called Laced Up, its a nude color nail with black lace design. I used these for a special event I went to and I got so many compliments on my nails. These normally retail for 9.99 which is a bit pricey and they stay on about 10 days, another set I had stayed on for 3 WEEKS! These are amazing quality. When you buy them they come with teh nail strips, a cuticle stick, and a mini file and buffer. They are super easy to apply and quick. One tip I do have is make sure your nails are clean and dry before applying the strips and it helps to file down the surface of your nail a bit as well. I can't wait to try other types of the Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effect Nail Polish Strips, theres a butterfly design that I can't seem to find in any store I go to. These are wold online and at retail stores like Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS. I will link Influenster if you'd like to sign up. Thanks for reading!

ImPRESS Nails

Hiya Everyone! I am here today to tell you all about ImPRESS Nails. ImPRESS Nails are a press on manicure with glue already on them! There are little plastic tabs on each nail for you to peel off before you stick the nail onto your own nail. These are great for going out with friends, dates, meetings, any occassion where you want something extra on your nails or just everyday use! The package states they last up to a week, I don't think this is true because I wore mine and after about 3 days they started falling off. One good thing about this product though is they include extra sizes of the nails incase a nail falling off does happen and you can just replace it! I paid 7.99 for these at CVS but I know they carry them at Walmart, Walgreens, and Rite Aid as well. There are many different designs and colors. The design pictured below is called Working Girl. I purchased several sets of these because I just love the designs and how they feel on my nails. They're not too long but they're also not too short. I can still do things in these just like I do when I am not wearing press on nails. I still text, I still clean, I still type, I can do everything I can with them that I do without them! Thanks for reading!
