Review: The Body Shop Lip Butters in Shea, Coconut and Mango

Hello everyone!

I hope you've been enjoying the nice weather. I think I actually got a bit of a tan over the weekend!  With the hot summer weather and working all day at the pool, my lips end up really dry a lot. I always have at least two or three chapsticks in my purse. I went into TJ Maxx the other day (as always) and I came by this little trio by The Body Shop for $5.99. I thought this was an awesome deal because these kind of lip butter trios are normally around $14.00. The three that come in here are the Shea Lip Butter, Coconut Lip Butter and the Mango Lip Butter.

The packaging is adorable. It came in a little candy wrapper looking box and the tubs themselves are so cute! They look exactly like the body butter tubs except they are mini. These all smell absolutely amazing. I think if I had to pick a favorite, I would go with mango just because anything mango is automatically a favorite with me. The other two smell amazing too. They are all very summer scents. As for the formula, these go on just like butter. They are super smooth and very hydrating. I really like how you can feel them soak into your lips and hydrate. I hate when chap sticks just sit on top of the lips. These definitely give long lasting results.

Overall, these are perfect for the summer! They are super easy to through into your purse and they are perfect summer scents. Definitely give them a try if you can find them on a sale!

Lots of Love,

Review: Bite Beauty Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Grape

Hello Everyone!

I don't know if it is just me but purple lips have really been something I have been dying to try. I have seen purple lips  pop up everywhere from  NYFW to Vogue. However, they are definitely pretty intimidating. I been trying to find a nice starting purple color to get myself more comfortable with purples in general and I think I have found that perfect introduction color. Bite Beauty's Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Grape is a perfect starting color. Don't let the name scare you!

The color advertised at the end of the stick looks like a very bright purple but once you open it up and actually look at it, it is much more pinky toned then expected. It is described as a "muted violet" on the Sephora website but personally I think it is much more of a pinky cool toned lavender. It is absolutely gorgeous on and I think it will look amazing on a lot of different skin tones.

My absolute favorite thing about this is definitely the finish and formula. As you probably would've guessed by now, it is a matte finish. However, it is not drying what so ever and it actually feels rather moisturizing. When I was talking to the girl that works at Sephora about it, she was telling how Bite is all natural brand and that is why it is not as drying as a lot of other matte lip products. It glides on really easily and you don't have to worry about it sticking to dry patches on your lips.

Overall, I am super impressed with Bite Beauty and as this is the first product I have tried from them, I definitely want to get my hands on more. You can pick up this lovely lip crayon at Sephora from 22 dollars. If purple isn't your color, it also comes in five other colors! I honestly cannot wait to try more Bite Beauty products!

Lots of Love,
Rena
