Nivea A Kiss Of Moisture Lip Balms

Last year I received the Fresh Sugar lip balm from Sephora as their yearly birthday gift. It took me a while to try it out but when I did...I was hooked. At first, I didn't realize how awesome it was. But when I tried it on my lips as a night treatment before bed is when I saw what a treasure it was. The next morning my lips were baby bottom soft! Long story short, I ran out after being absolutely addicted. When I went to repurchase, I was stunned at the price $25.00. For a lip balm! So I had been on a hunt for something similar in quality without having to break the bank. So, I was browsing at Walgreens, and I came across this. Nivea a kiss of moisture lip balms, and I love them. For $3.99 each, I ended up getting the little tin, which they describe as a lip butter, and the tube in the flavors caramel cream kiss, and milk and honey. I can't get enough of these. I put them on through out the day, and as a night treatment. Both have the same affect. They feel so smooth and creamy, and they definitely have healed my chapped lips. They feel almost exactly the same as the Fresh Sugar balms, but at a fraction of the price! These are not the balms that just sit on top of the lips (smackers, carmex, blistex etc). These really penetrate your skin and heal the lips. I suggest trying these out if your in the market for new lip care.

We Love E.L.F.

E.L.F. (Eyes, Lips, Face) has everything you could imagine when it comes to cosmetics at an affordable price. I fell in love with E.L.F. a year ago and recommended this line to all of my friends. I've tried a number of their products including their makeup brushes, brush cleaners, cream eyeliners and much more. Prices range from $1 up to $20 which is awesome! I purchased a small angled brush for $1.00 to use for my cream eyeliner and I LOVE it!!! I loved it so much, I purchased 5 of them! You can purchase this brand at your local Target stores, Walmart, your local grocery store (at least the grocery stores in Minneapolis) and a few other places. Below are a few of my most favorite products from E.L.F. and what they do:

Brush Shampoo: Anti-bacterial brush cleanser for thorough cleaning in-between makeup applications. Washes away all traces of dirt, makeup, oil and debris from your brush while conditioning the hair to provide a clean and soft application for every use.

Daily Brush Cleaner: An anti-bacterial daily brush cleanser for cleaning in between makeup applications. After using your brush, spray several times on your brushes, wipe off with a cleansing cloth and let air dry.

Cream Eyeliner: Use an eyeliner brush or small angled brush and add cream eyeliner to it.  Apply to the eyelid.

Lip Primer and Plumper: The primer is applied to make your lipstick look brighter and the plumper simply makes your lips look fuller.

Eye Primer and Line Sealer: Eye primer is applied to your eyelid before you add eyeshadow to make your eyeshadow"pop" and the liner sealer transforms your favorite eyeshadow into a waterproof, smudge proof liquid liner with this unique clear liquid and built in felt tip precision eyeliner brush.

Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter: Contains vitamins A&E, Chamomile, Caffeine and Green Tea to moisturize, soothe and tighten the skin around the delicate eye area.
