~Weekly Product Highlight~ Chapstick~

When it comes to lip balms, I am very particular! Sometimes it is the simplest and the most classic products that work the best for me.

No matter how many times I stray, I always come back to the original classic ChapStick. I don’t know what it is about this classic lip balm, but it works better than almost every chapstick that I have tried! It is nothing fancy, but it is effective.

Since there are so many varieties of ChapStick each has its own combo of ingredients, but most ChapSticks contain camphor, vitamin E, aloe, beeswax, menthol, petrolatum, phenol, and oxybenzone. While I love the cherry, strawberry and the spearmint, the classic black ChapStick is my favorite!

Each 0.15 oz tube costs around $1.

What does the Chapstick website have to say about the classic original chapstick?

“The one and only Classic! The one that made ChapStick America’s favorite lip balm and the one that our hearts still beat for. Try it in Original, Cherry, Strawberry and Spearmint.

Softens and protects for smooth, silky lips every day
Helps heal and prevent dry, chapped lips
The formula you know and love”

What about you? What is your favorite lip balm? Do you like the original ChapStick or another flavor better?

Tips and Tricks

Tip Tuesday #12

May 10, 2016March 18, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday

I HATE chapped lips!!! I cannot even handle when my lips are dry at all! If you want to exfoliate your lips quickly and easily without using a messy scrub you’ll love this tip…

Simply apply a thick layer of moisturizing lip balm to your lips and let is sit for a good amount of time. I will usually apply it after I brush my teeth when I first wake up and go about my morning routine. Then using a clean dry wash cloth, put your finger into the cloth making a little glove over your finger. Using circular motions rub the balm off your lips exfoliating your lips at the same time. The texture of the wash cloth will work as an exfoliator without having to use any other product. Keep in mind that the lips are a very delicate area, so be sure that you don’t rub too hard!

I hope that you enjoyed this tip!

Oh Sugar! Lip Balm by Covergirl

March 26, 2016March 26, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Oh Sugar! Lip Balm by Covergirl~

The Oh Sugar lip balms by Covergirl are a nice alternative to very similar tinted balms on the market. There are 10 beautiful shades to choose from. With Grape seed oil and Avocado butter this balm is super smooth and silky. It glides on smoothly, moisturizes well and gives just enough sheer color that it can be applied without a mirror. It has a sweet light lemon citrus scent to it. (which is one of my favorite scents!)

This is almost a perfect dupe for the fresh sugar rose, which you can get from Sephora. The biggest difference between the Sugar Rose and the Oh Sugar? The price, $24 compared to $9.

The covergirl Oh Sugar! has exactly the same feel, and the color of the shade Candy is pretty much spot on as well- ($8.99 at CVS, but don’t forget about coupons, sales, and extracare bucks! You can get these lip balms for a steal!) I have seen them as low as $6.99 at Target, and $7.15 at Walmart.

Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm

Weekly Product Highlight~ Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm~

GRAPEFRUIT NATURALLY SMOOTH LIP BALM

Because I am always on the lookout for my next favorite chapstick/lip balm I keep buying more and more.

I purchased this one not only just because I love chapstick/lip balm, but also because I love grapefruit. While I love to buy new chapstick/lip balms, I am actually very picky about my lip products.

I love this Yes to Grapefruit Lip Balm!

I think that this one is very quickly becoming my favorite of all lip balms! It leaves my lips very smooth and it has a nice scent. I love that the balm is actually shaped like your lips.

For me, lip balm is a daily way of life, not just once a day but many times throughout the day and especially at bedtime.

One thing I don’t like about some chapsticks/lip balms is they are just too heavy and waxy. This one is pure enjoyment. It is light, fresh, smooth, and shiny. I can’t always find it in stores where I live, and then I get nervous that it has been diacontinued, but then I will find it again and of course I buy it to always have back up! (Do you do that too?!)

What does the Yes to Website have to say about it…

“Smooth lip balm on your lips. Notice how the shape matches the curve of your lips. Repeat as needed. Why were lip balms ever round, anyways?

The Formula: A mix of moisturizing Aloe, Cocoa, and Shea Butter deliver intense hydration and moisturization (talk about a triple threat!)
The Flavor: A delicious grapefruit treat to wake you and your gorgeous lips up.
The Packaging: Consumers preferred this sleek, oval shape, because it fits easily everywhere, and applies nicely around lips.

Yes to…an awesome new lip balm with a refreshing flavor that fits just about anywhere!

99% NaturalPetroleum
SLS,
Paraben Free
Cruelty-free”

Mauve Over! Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks

January 30, 2016April 22, 2022 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood3 Comments

I am a big fan of Maybelline, they offer so many great makeup products at a reasonable price.

I’m very particular when it comes to the way that lip products feel on my lips. I do not like lipsticks that make my lips feel dry and uncomfortable. I hate it when my lips hurt for days after wearing a lip product. I haven’t found that to be an issue with the Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks. They are so smooth and comfortable to wear. After I tried my first shade I liked it so much that I went back and purchased three more!

When it come to choosing a lipstick shade I always find myself leaning towards mauve. Mauve is a color that can have a wide range of shades. Magnificent Mauve #430 is a lighter pink based mauve, while Mauve It Up #440 is a more purple/blue berry toned mauve. Mauve Mania #450 is a reddish mauve. On the Mauve #445 is my favorite. It has purple/brown under toned and is just beautiful. With its blue tinge it makes my teeth look whiter. There are several other different shades, formulas, and finishes of mauve to choose from the Lip Sensational Lipsticks.

If you are not interested in Mauve, I recommend you check out some of the other 32 Lip Sensational Lipsticks shades. They are so rich in pigment and creamy in texture! With 32 different shades available from light corals and nudes to deep vampy purple reds, you are bound to find a perfect shade for you.

Have you ever tried any of the Maybelline Lip Sensational Lipsticks? What is your go to lipstick shade? What is your favorite type of lipstick finish? What is your favorite brand of lipstick? Let me know in the comment section below.
