Lip-balms in Rotation

I'm quite naughty when it comes to remembering to wear lip balm. Countless times I've slipped a tube in my pocket or purse, determined to apply it throughout the day... Just to come home and empty my pockets realizing not once did I put any on! I suppose like anything we do constantly it's all forming a routine.. Which I have yet to do! Though I am terrible at slathering the stuff on, there are a few I manage to remember about by keeping them in key places. 

Nivea's Caramel Cream Kiss lip butter is the most delicious smelling lip product ever. It smells like a nice chewy caramel candy! I usually smooth this butter onto my lips after I preform my night time skin care routine as it's nice and thick and sinks into my lips. I keep it stored by my eye cream so I can't miss it! Definitely on my list to buy again!

Lypsyl Intense Protection lip balm is a balm I was curious to try after reading rave reviews from fellow blogger, Hollie Eats Lipstick. While this balm was a lot better than others I've tried, it wasn't dazzling. It did smell nice and feel good on the lips, I just didn't feel like it super moisturized my lips. Would I repurchase?? Maybe.

EOS Moisturizing Sweet Mint lip balm is a balm I picked up to carry in my purse to try and remember to wear lip balm all day. Does it work? Sometimes. Which is better than not at all! It has a nice sweet mint flavor, and sinks into my lips alright. The packaging is cute and the formula is thin. It isn't the most moisturizing but it does get the job done! Repurchase? Undecided.

Eye Makeup of the Week 002

Every week, I use one eye shadow palette or a bunch of single eye shadows for the week to try and get the most use out of my collection. I attempt to not neglect any of my eye shadows, and I feel that doing this really maximizing my usage so things aren't going to waste! This week I decided to use my Kat Von D True Romance Poetica palette, which unfortunately is no longer being sold in Sephora where Kat Von D's line is exclusive. The link above leads to Amazon where it's running for $45, however it only cost me $36. I'm sure it is also available on eBay, or you may Google around for shadow dupes. 

While this palette is one of my favorites to wear, sometimes the purples alone can get tiring. I love a palette that has all the shadows you need for complete looks, but occasionally I enjoy incorporating single shadows to broaden what I can do!  A little sample of the Bare Minerals BB cream eye shadow I received in an ipsy bag turned out to be such a wonderful primer and base. Nars Ondine shadow, a purplely bronze shade totally unique from anything I've seen before. NYX Iced Mocha , a nice everyday bronze, and Essence Mono Shadow in Party All Night, one of my favorite taupe shimmer shades.

All of these shadows have a lovely warm bronzed undertone that I find to go so well with the purples Wonderland, Shiba, and Babe. I normally do not stray towards bright colors, but Chandler (the orange), adds such a great warmth to any look I chose when using a little bit blended into my crease. The black shade Tijuana has little golden glitters mixed in, which looks so nice when smudged along my upper lash line into a nice cat eye.

What single shadow(s) or palette(s) are you currently obsessed with?
