Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Balm – Just Peachy

I saw the Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Balm display originally posted on Instagram and I knew I had to pick one up. I am a medicated lip balm junkie! I love that tingle/burn on my lips from a medicated balm because I just feel like when it tingles, it means its working and hydrating.

I stumbled upon the display at my local Christmas Tree Shop and sadly the plain shade was not available, so I was in a toss up between Just Peachy and Berry Sorbet.  I ended up going with Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Balm in Just Peachy because I had hoped it would be like the regular Baby Lips in Peach Kiss, which is one of my favorites.  Unfortunately after bringing it home I quickly found that the medicated Just Peachy is actually a LOT more pigmented than the plain ole regular Just Peachy.  The regular just peachy goes on rather sheer against my skin tone and looks like a translucent lip balm when on my lips. The medicated one goes on rather pink, more pale pink instead of peach.  It just looks crazy against my skin tone which completely bums me out.

I’ve been using this by dabbing it against my lips to get the faintest amount of product on my lips and it shows up more translucent than pale pink. Even with the dabbing effect I can feel the cooling/tingling sensation that comes with medicated lip balms.  Now I wish I had picked up Berry Sorbet … but I may end up having to go back at some point to pick it up.

Have you tried out any of the new Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Balms?

Maybelline Electro Baby Lips Haul

I was browsing through the blogs that I follow and stumbled upon a blog post by EmilyNoel83 featuring the new Maybelline Electro Baby Lips and it immediately sent me into motion.  I wasn’t even aware this new collection dropped but seeing the gorgeous pigmentation, I knew I needed to have them.  Emily only had purchased 3 shades so I looked up other blog posts to see swatches of all 6 shades available.  After online browsing for a few days, I decided I was going to stick with the 3 most pigmented shades and leave the other 3 behind even though they’re gorgeous in the packaging.

I do want to point out that these are placed right alongside the Baby Lips, not on a new display or anything.  I have only been able to spot them at Walmart locations – but Targets website states they are sold in stores, but my store did not carry them.

First of all the packaging is super adorable.  It’s a black casing with a clear cover which has bold neon print on the tube.  I like a sleek looking packaging and I have to admit, I like this packaging more than the original packaging for the baby lips.

The 3 shades I picked up are:

Pink Shock

Oh! Orange!

Strike a Rose

Shannon's Amazing Clearance Haul!

I popped into one of the local grocery stores yesterday after running a few errands.  I needed to pick a couple things up and since I was right next door I popped on in instead of driving to the grocery store nearest my house.  In this particular grocery store I tend to check out their clearance section (in the back of the store near the dairy section) because they tend to clearance items just because there's only a few of the item remaining so they throw them on the clearance shelf to get rid of them.  I was looking through the cold medicine bin and tucked in the very corner of the bin were a few of these AcneFree 24 Hour Acne Clearing Systems marked down to $5!  I've seen a few people sharing hauls where they've purchased these systems and really like them -- so I figured why not?  I've been looking for acne cleanser that worked, so with fingers crossed, I tried it out tonight and hope to enjoy the results.  I also spotted a single eos lip balm in summer fruit!  The greatest part?  It was 90 CENTS! SCORE!  I have my eos lip balm on my computer at work, so I threw this one in my purse to have with me all the time.  I prefer medicated lip balms the most, but these are nice when I just feel my lips are slightly dry -- but with the one at work?  I've been slathering that bad boy on all day -- almost like it's part of my daily work routine haha.

Shannon’s Target Haul!

This is my Target beauty haul from last week. I had gone away to a trade show and upon returning (I went down on a bus provided by the company that hosted the trade show) I was dropped off in the Target parking lot. My boyfriend was set to pick me up after work, so since I got back around 4 – I headed into Target to do some much needed browsing. These are the beauty related items I ended up picking up for myself and one thing for my boyfriend.

Here’s what I picked up:

- Old Spice – Champion Body Wash w/ a mini travel size deodorant.
- Dove – Go Fresh Cucumber & Green Tea Deodorant – Combo Pack. I got this for free as I received a coupon from Dove for a free deodorant.
- Up & Up Facial Moisturizer – SPF 15 Sensitive Skin. This is the Target version of the Neutrogena Sensitive Skin SPF Moisturizer
- Vaseline Lip Therapy – Cocoa Butter. Seriously?! The most ADORABLE container ever.

appy Birthday, Sugar!

 

 

It was my birthday last month so I popped into Sephora to browse around.  It had been a while since I had been in Sephora and sadly did not find anything that I was hoping to spot (thanks to the hauls featured here on LUUUX!).   Even though I felt odd going up to the cashier and just asking for my birthday gift I did it anyway.  I really wanted to try the Sugar lip balm and tint and I'd kick myself if I passed up on it just so I didn't feel "weird" or "odd" by not purchasing anything else to get the freebie.

I will say, I was surprised at how small it was.  So many of you ladies have featured this product here on LUUUX and you must all be using an ultra zoom lens because I was expecting it to be bigger than it was haha.  It is a decent size for a sample, so I am not complaining at all, but it's funny how sizes can be distorted in photographs.

The product itself has a very pleasant smell.  Sweet but citrusy -- I really like the scent.  I've heard some people just are completely turned off by the scent..
