Best Lip Gloss Collagen Lip Gloss {Review}

I was very excited when the Best lip gloss collagen lip gloss by Natural Collagen Inventia arrived at my doorstep. Let's see how it works.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Lip skin is very delicate and thin, and therefore particularly susceptible to harsh weather conditions such as solar radiation, wind and frost. All of these factors irritate it, which is why it bears signs of dryness in the form of tightening, small cracks and peeling. For effective protection, lips must be moisturised, lubricated and nourished. Bearing in mind the special requirements of lip skin, we have created a formula rich in ingredients that ensure both intense moisturization and effective lubrication. Additionally, the components of Collagen Booster Lip Gloss visibly revitalise the protective barrier of lip skin, to prevent drying and ensure that lips are smooth and regenerated.

EFFECTS

Intensively regenerates the lips and nourishes them perfectly
Restores comfort and lasting hydration
Instantly smoothes and rejuvenates the lips
Lips became velvety and sensually soft
It protects lips against photo-aging and drying
It makes lips beautifully shiny and looking appetizing

My Opinion

It works! It smells like strawberry and it's not sticky at all. There is no tingling sensation like other "plumping" products for the lip. The texture is like Vaseline, but this one is lighter. I just dabbed my finger lightly on the jar and that is already enough to plump my puckers. A little goes a long way for this one. Below are my before and after photos.

Would I buy this again?

Definitely! I love the boost it gave my lips and the effect is long lasting, unlike regular lip glosses that dries up after a while. This one heavily smooths and regenerates your lips.

Best Lip Gloss is available on Amazon. For more information, please visit their website or like them on Facebook.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Brazilian Nut & Acai Berry SHINE SERUM {Review}

I was recently sent a sample of Brazilian Nut and Acai Berry Shine Serum and some Silk Nonmetal Hair Elastics complimentary of Brand Backer.

Product Description

Brazilian Nut & Acai Berry SHINE SERUM

adds shine to dull & dry hair

Silk Non Metal Hair Elastics

Highly coveted for its luxurious and delicate qualities, silk helps maintain healthy looking hair by minimizing friction and preventing natural oils from depleting. Fabrics such as cotton have the tendency to absorb hair’s natural moisture and be overly harsh, causing hair to become dry and brittle. Sealing in nutrients and shine, hair dressed in silk results in a smoother and glossier appearance.

My Opinion

The serum has a very thick, syrupy consistency. The smell is fantastic! My niece says it smells like vanilla and my 3 year old niece says it smells yummy!

I tried it on my niece's very long hair. I used two pumps. Here's a before and after picture of her hair.

Her hair looks more manageable and tamed. It's also shiny and dryness is gone in an instant. This is a great apply-before-you-go-out-of-the house or bring-it-with-you-anywhere tool for instantly beautiful hair.

The silk hair elastics are very gentle to the hair as well. There is no friction at all and you can easily pull it off your hair without struggling. I gave all of it to my niece because she loves it and my hair is too short for ponytails.

Recommendation

The shine serum works great for dry and brittle hair. It does not only bring back the shine, but it makes hair soft, smooth and more manageable. I'm definitely buying this again and if you're also thinking of purchasing this, here's the discount code for the loyal readers of this blog: hair10.

New BA STAR Tropical Eye Shadow Palette {Review and Giveaway}

I got very excited when the New BA STAR Tropical Eye Shadow Palette arrived at my doorstep. I already reviewed the New BA STAR Eye Shadow Palettes. So let's see if this one is as good as the Smoky and Natural eye shadow palette I reviewed a few months back.

Product Description

Makeup Artist Selected Colors
High Pigment, Long Lasting.
Custom Face Charts and Makeup Videos Available

My Opinion

I love that it's not powdery at all and there were no fall outs when applied on skin, so I didn't have to worry about smudges at all. I also love that it's very pigmented and it has a creamy consistency; these made the makeup easy to apply. It blends pretty easily and not chunky. Those swatches you see in the photos were done with just one swipe. You will also notice that there is not much difference when I used the base.

Pros

The colors are pretty and bright, but very light, which make them perfect for summer. They last long after application.

Cons

I found it difficult to remove when I applied it using the base, but I guess to others, who have to wear makeup for a long time, this is a big plus.

Recommendation

The colors are pretty and would match any summer outfit. Whether you are at work, at the beach or at a party, the New BA STAR Tropical Eye Shadow Palette would definitely finish off your look.

To know more about BA Star products you may visit their website, follow them on Intagram or Pinterest.

And because you are a loyal reader of this blog, you'll get a 50% discount when you purchase the palette. Use the code 50TROPIC. It's valid until July 4, 2014.

I am also giving 2 of my readers a chance to win a Free Palette & Glue. Giveaway starts 13 June 2014 and ends 20 June 2014. The giveaway is open for US only, 18+. One entrant per household, please!

Good luck!!!
