Rimmel BB (Beauty Balm) Cream Review

Image
This claims to be a whopping 9 in 1 product .  It "primes, moisturises, minimises pores, conceals, covers, smoothes, mattifies, brightens and helps protect". That's quite an eyeful.  It comes in a fl oz tube, is lightly scented and was purchased at a local beauty supply store. Tried it out for some months and paid attention to the different temperature and situations: bright sunlight, outdoor night events etc. I found that I got oily very quickly when worn during the day (I have oily skin) even though I also wore a powder over it.  The same happened during the day, even in AC. This primer works best in cooler temperatures, which is not surprising because it was tested out in a tropical climate and Rimmel is advertised as a British product. (The label says 'Made in Monaco' btw) I would recommend to those with dry skin.

CherMere INatural Leave - In Conditioning Creme review

I was introduced to CherMere's iNatural product line when I went to the company's  Curls for a Cause event .  I needed a good leave - in as I felt that my hair would sometimes become brittle after the shampooing and conditioning stage. This product contains ingredients such as aloe vera, shea butter and moringa oil. It can also be used to detangle hair. I usually gravitate towards products with sea butter as my hair seems to work better with them.  Shea butter also works to protect your tresses from sun damage.

I would also say the smell was really addictive.         I was sitting quietly in the backseat of a taxi one day, minding my own business.  Suddenly, the burly man in the front passenger seat blurted out, 'Oh gosh.  You smelling rell good girl!'       I was like 'huh?'  He said the grease or whatev...

City Color Creamy Lips review: Bargain beauty

Image
I received this lip cream in an Ipsy monthly subscription bag. It has a light, sweet scent. I like the applicator, it allows you to apply the lip product properly to areas like your Cupid's bow. Shade: Mai Tai As for the consistency , it is creamy (hence the name) and soft to the touch after application. I swatched  the lip cream in the photo below, two coats on the left and one coat on the right. The two swatches look almost the same so this shows that you can only apply one coat for good coverage. Pros: I like the coverage of the lip cream, as well as its handy applicator. Its soft consistency is useful if you want to try an ombre lip with another lip cream or lipstick.  It blends easily with other products, as long as it is not a gloss. Cons:  This product always remains in a soft, creamy state on my lips.  Then it starts to wipe off if you eat or kiss.  It lasts for about 3 hours without reapplying. I would recommend this prod...
