Finished Products of the Summer

 

These are the products I have recently finished.

• Lancome Nutrix Royal Body Lotion
• This lotion is incredibly moisturizing & smells fantastic but it does leave skin a little oily. Love it!
• Mane 'n Tale Conditioner
• I use this conditioner on my extensions. It helps strengthen the hair while also moisturizing it & the price is unbeatable $4.50. Love it.
• Brocato Cloud Nine Miracle Repair Shampoo & Treatment
• LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I've been using Cloud 9 for almost 2 years. It makes hair nice & soft, helps repair damage, cleanses hair extremely well & doesn't weight hair down. Love it!
• Manic Panic Amplified Formula Virgin Snow White Toner/Mixer
• This is great for mixing with other vibrant semi-permanent colors to lighten the shade but isn't that great for lifting yellow tones out of hair. Leave it.
• OPI Acetone-Free Polish Remover
• It has a bit of a smell but does a good job of removing polish. It does have a tough time with removing Essie & China Glaze polishes though. Undecided.
• Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
• Great at removing MaryKay makeup but bad at removing other brands. It tended to irritate my skin & normally took me like 10 minutes to remove my makeup fully. It often left behind makeup residue. Leave it.
• Brocato Big Easy Volumizing Dry Shampoo
• Great at volumizing hair but left a white powder on my dark hair. Great for blonds but bad for dark hair. Leave it.
• Bath & Bodyworks Butterfly Flower Shower Gel & Bubble Bath
• Love the scent but it really isn't a great body cleanser. The bubble bath creates tons of bubbles but takes a lot of product to do so. Leave it.
• Bath & Bodyworks PocketBac Hand Gel in Warm Vanilla Sugar
• My go to hand sanitizer at the salon. Smells great & easily clips to my pants. Love it.
• Redken Nature's Rescue Refreshing Detox Shampoo
•  It deep cleanses &my hair feels like it can breathe after I use this shampoo but it also dries out my hair. Leave it.
  

Lime Crime's Lip Noir

Lime Crime Makeup just announced yesterday that three new lipsticks will be coming on September 1st, 2011. They are inspired by Old Hollywood in the 1920s. You can read more about the collection on Doe Deere's Blogazine. The three colors are:

• Chinchilla - Light grey with lilac undertones (semi-gloss)
• Glamour 101 - Blood-red with berry undertones (semi-gloss)
• Styletto - Opaque black (glossy)

I am personally excited for this collection & will be marking this date on my calender. I do wish that Lime Crime would add more magic dust eye shadows to their line but so far I don't see that in the near future. I would adore if they added matte eye shadows & palettes. It would be great if Lime Crime added look palettes like smokey eye or even natural eye collections. I would also like to see a light lilac & dark blue/turquoise magic dust. As for lipsticks I would love to see a lip primer, a white lipstick & even a deep violet color.

What are your thoughts on this collection? Will you buy them or just pass it up? Also what colors of lipsticks or eye shadows would you love Lime Crime to add to their line?

P.S. I'm sorry that it has been so terribly long since I have blogged. I feel really ashamed honestly for being such a procrastinator but I just kind of lost my passion for awhile but it's back & hopefully here to stay. I love you all & I promise I will be updating more frequently.
