Monave Lip Glaze Review & Giveaway

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

I'm a big fan of beauty products, so here's one I'd like to share you:

Monave Lip Glaze

A couple days back I received a Monave Lip Glaze.  The truth is I can be a bit of a brand snob when it comes to certain products, so I wasn't sure if I was going to be totally into this product.  I tried it on immediately and was surprised by how much I liked it. 

I received the Sheer Monave Lip Glaze in Honey Glaze {#506}.   This is a non-sticky, all-natural lip product that adds a just a hint of shine and some sheer mauve color, which is great for a great pick me up, running errands or going to the gym.  It gives you a sort of an effortless, laid back look. It comes in a standard lip gloss type container with a sponge tip stick applicator.  Monave Lip Glazes are made free of animal by products and uses only pigments that are 100% naturally derived minerals.

All in all I like the product very much, but am a little weary of the price {$13.00}.  The truth of the matter is that all natural products tend to be  higher priced then products that are not.

BUY IT!

Smoother Looking Lips

I've been using on and off Covergirl Lip Perfection in hypnotic for several weeks.  The color payoff is great and it helps your lips feel smoother and moisturized with the help of a silk therapy complex.  Plus you don't get a sticky residue on your lips.  This lipstick comes in 44 shades, which means you could go for more than a month showing off vibrant, smooth lips either at home or work.  The other good thing about this lipstick is that it is affordable and you can find it in most participating drugstores and mass retailers.

Have you tried out any shade from the new Covergirl Lip Perfection line?

Face Candy Couture Eyeshadows: Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

I don't normally post about make-up, but I do love playing around with make-up, whenever my son gives me the chance of course !  So I was really giddy at the idea of reviewing some mineral makeup from Face Candy Couture.

{Here's what I received: six (6) three(3) gram jars of mineral eyeshadow and 3 little sample bags}



{From left to right: Pinky Star, Lavender Fields & Damask Grey-this is without using any eye primer}



{From left to right: Golden Moon, Pumpkin &; Dew- A Touch of Autumn Collection- this is without using eye primer}



I tend to be very picky with the make-up I buy nowadays and mostly stick to one certain brand.  But, I loved all six (6) of the Face Candy Couture eyeshadows I received! 

You can use the make-up as shadows either dry{for a subtle look} or wet {for a more dramatic look}.

 You can also use it as a lipgloss; all you have to do is wet a lip brush, get some product on it and dab on your lips.

 I used the mineral makeup as eyeshadows and they  were very pigmented, so I didn't have to pack on a lot of product to make the colors pop.  The product goes on the brush easily, doesn't have a lot of fall out when you apply it and it's easy to blend. 

The jars in which the shadows come are clear and come with a cute label on the top and an ingredient list on the bottom.  Each jar has a sifter so you can easily control the amount of product that you need, just make sure to store them in an upright postion.

Face Candy Couture mineral eyeshadows would make for a great stocking stuffer for both make-up lovin' teenagers and adults.

For the price of $4.99 you can certainly get several jars {Product comes in a clear 5 gram jar with sifter and with approx. 1.2 grams of product }without breaking the bank.

Check out the Face Candy Couture  for more eyeshadow color options and great holiday specials!
