Throwback Thursday: Glee Lip Balm

For my first "Throwback Thursday" post, I'm going to share with you a lovely lip balm that I got for Christmas one year by my mom. I kind of just chuckled, because my mom seemed to be convinced that my favorite show in the entire world was Glee (probably not my most favorite show ever but an amazing show to watch nonetheless); I was a fanatic of lip balms though, so I decided to use them. What I didn't know was that they would end up being one of the most amazing things in my teenage childhood.

DIY Lip Palette



Do you have a bunch of lipsticks that you don't like the way the color looks on you?  Or do you own way too many lipsticks that are taking up too much space in your makeup collection?  Well, here's a fun way to store some of your lipsticks in a convenient location and even combine shades that you don't like to get the perfect lip look for you!

Review: Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System

My Journey Toward Acne-Free Skin
Picture From Neutrogena Website
 Retail Price: $24.99
Step 1: Skin Polishing Acne Cleanser 5.1 fl oz/150 mL
Step 2: Acne Control Lotion 1.4 fl oz/40 mL
Step 3: Oil-Free Lotion with Sunscreen SPF 15 1.7 fl oz/50 mL

According to Neutrogena's website, this is the #1 Dermatologist Recommended acne kit and is designed to control acne in three steps.  I've passed by this product multiple times, choosing competitor acne-clearing products instead.  But once I picked this gem up, there is no turning back.  This once overlooked acne treatment system has earned a special place in my heart and now on my acne-free skin.

This is a rave review on the Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System.

Review: Hard Candy CC Creme (Light)


 Retail Price: $8.00
1.5 oz/42.5 g
Shade 618 (Light)

Made to balance the complexion with a soft natural finish and protect the skin with spf 15, according to Hard Candy's website, the CC Creme is "formulated with special light optical pearls that neutralize the undertones of your skin."  You're then left with radiant, flawless, and color corrected skin!
  
My skin did appear radiant, flawless, and color corrected, but I was NOT in love.  Want to know why?
