Review : Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment





Year round my lips are very chapped and dry. I decided to switch from the lip Vaseline that I generally use during the summer to the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment for Fall and Winter because my lips are the worst during those two seasons. I have heard good things about this product but never tried it until about a month ago.




When I opened the product up, by the looking at it the first thing it reminded me of was Burts Bee's wax lip balm, and the Bee's lip balm did not work at all for me. To my surprise the The Sugar Lip Treatment is very smooth and creamy, not hard like chapstick I've used in the past but then again this can't be compared to chapstick, It has a minty type smell to it which makes my lips feel refreshed. During the cold mornings, I would apply this before heading out and unlike other lip products this one keeps my lips really smooth and soft hours after I've applied it.




I am really in love with this product because it has spf 15, keeps my lips hydrated, its creamy, has a nice smell and I don't have to keep reapplying it every hour. My lips have become much more softer and I have not seen any dryness in my lips at all which is most important.



this product can be purchased at Fresh and Sephora


Note: This product was purchased by me and the review is my own opinion.

Dior Addict



My favorite new lip gloss Dior Addict: Ultra Gloss Reflect in Pink Liberty. I've been trying to get into a different brand of lip gloss as of late. So I decided to pick this one up because one of my good friends had recommended it to me earlier in the week. She loves it and thought that I would too, and I do!!! So when I went to Sephora I got the last of Pink Liberty, but hopefully they will stock up on it again because it is a popular color.




What I like :
  • the packaging is really cute
  • it has a synthetic brush for easy application
  • the gloss has no smell to it
  • kept my lips glossy for hours
  • I love the color is very pigmented when applied on the lips

China Glaze


All work and no play makes me a tired girl :/

I know I am late at getting into China Glaze, though I am always late at trying new things out, there's just not enough time in the day. Work and School keeps me busy.

I was able to squeeze in some time to go to Sally's Beauty Supply. I would totally order the China Glaze online, but the fact that packages that I order somehow always end up at my neighbors house weirds me out. I try as much as possible not to order items online anymore.

So I went in and the buy 2 get one free sale was still going on for their polishes, and no sally discount card needed ( I asked). In total I got 6 China Glaze polishes, in the pic there are four in the front and two in the back. the four front polishes were the prettiest :) from left to right: For Audrey, Shower Together, Spontaneous, Pink Voltage. The two in the back: Up All Night and Black Diamond.

I love the colors, they are gorgeous. In total I paid around 25 dollars for 6 bottles, they are regular 5. 99 each. The link is below if you want to get some for yourself :)

Collective Haul

I only bought three items from the Sugarsweet Collection, I know I am late at getting something from this collection, but better late than never right lol. Okay so I bought the Seasonal Peach polish, the lipstick in Lolipop Loving and the eyeshadow in Dear Cupcake. I kinda regret getting the polish because it streaks!! since I've been hearing great stuff about China Glaze polish I think I might try it to see what all the fuss is about.

Yesterday my sister and I went shopping and I got two more items from MAC and because I'm an addict like that. MAC is second to my addiction to Starbucks Coffee (when Starbucks coffee employees knows you by name, that probably means you should stop going there for awhile lol). My sister loves Victoria's Secret so we went there and I gave in and bought their lip glosses 5 for 20 dollars why not? One gloss is missing because I gave it to my sister.

MAC Blush: in Pink Swoon
MAC Eyeshadow in : Deep Truth
VS Beauty Rush Lip Glosses: ( from left to right: Pearadise, Tropicool, Slice of Heaven, and I want Candy).


I finally got a makeup table..well it's more like at dresser with a mirror lol, instead of putting clothes in the drawers, I put my make collection :) in there.

Mineralize, pigment, and paint pots


It has been such a busy week with school and work . I wish I can take a vacation, but anyways I received a few items in the mail about a week ago, but I've been too busy to post it up. I thought I should now since I have time. Right now it's like 1am in the morning lol I am such a night owl.
Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Medium-I love it, since it's getting hotter I use it more than my Studio fix powder/foundation., but what I don't love is the mess that it leaves behind on my table.
Pigments: Naked- Great Highlight color, it makes my eyebrows look like they've just been done.

Paint Pots: Artifact and Soft Ochre, I use Soft Ochre as a base, I have not used Artifact but it is such a beautiful color.

I've been looking for a new makeup table..but no luck so far :(

MAC Haul

I can't help but shop sometimes, especially when its late at night and I am bored. I ordered a few things from MAC about a week ago and it finally came.

Eyeshadows: Knight Divine (vp) and Beauty Marked (v) both shadows are very shimmery.


Fluidline: Macroviolet this is my first fluidline so I'm excited to use it and I will do a review on it later.


Lipstick : Speed Dial (creamsheen). I absolutly loove this lipstick it is soo creamy. My lips tend to get dry and usually before I apply lipstick I would have to mosturize my lips, but not with this lipstick. Most of my lipsticks are pink because I think that pink is the only color that looks good on my lips, but anyways I'm going to get some more creamsheen lipsticks ( that is if their not still sold out ) because I'm loving the formula.


Studio Sculpt Concealer in NW30 :I use the studio finish concealer in NW30 on a daily basis and I wanted to try this concealer because of all reviews I've read. To me The Sculpt concealer is not matte like the Studio finish concealer is. the Studio Sculpt is much creamer and easier to apply than the Studio Finish concealer. The Sculpt concealer feels like it could be a foundation
type formula but alot thicker in texture. I love the Sculpt because it blends alot faster and easier to the skin whereas with the Studio concealer I would have to put it on the back of my hand to warm it up then apply it. So two thumbs up for the Studio Sculpt !!


Pro Eye Makeup Remover: before this I used the Clinique Eye Makeup Remover which I didn't like because it was too oily for me. I like the Pro Remover because it does not leave my skin dry like the Clinique one does.

The Mac 213 Brush: I just wanted this brush for eyeshadow application, I am slowly adding to my collection of MAC brushes.


That is pretty much it for now, If I have time I will do another Haul/review by the end of this week if not earlier.
