Tis the season to ask for the exact stocking stuffers you want! Instead of having Santa go crazy trying to figure out little gifts to get you why not help him out and give him some great ideas. Right now I am obsessed with some products and really want to share them with you. I hope you enjoy!
Surface Push Powder- I was introduced to this by one of my best friends who told me this is the most amazing thing for greasy hair since baby powder itself. She tried to describe to me exactly what this amazing powder does but it was seriously hard for her to put into words how this unbelievable product works. So I decided to try this out for myself. At $23 I was a little hesitant at first but decided to give it a try and ordered it off Amazon.com. When I received it in the mail I was eager to try it right away so I did and was astonished after the first use. So what gives? What exactly is this product? This powder helps to create volume and flow in the interior of your hair while also providing root lift and volume for long hair and helps to thicken fine hair by providing texture. So basically this is a miracle in a small, very small bottle. This product is great to use on dirty hair because it helps to absorb the oil while also pumping up your hair’s volume which is awesome because dry shampoos don’t usually help with the flat hair problem. You don’t necessarily need to use this on dirty hair this also helps if your just trying to achieve a big body look. You just apply it to your roots and basically just massage it in to your scalp. Teasing should be especially easy with this powder in. One thing you will notice is that it feels a little weird on your hair, kind of makes your hair feel stiff, so just brush it through and style as normal. I have mentioned this time and time again washing your hair every day just isn’t good so try some of this powder and you will be able to go a couple days without washing!
Sidenote- this stuff is a little hard to wash out of your hair. You will notice that your shampoo won’t lather as well when this is in your hair, so just take extra measures to really massage your shampoo into your scalp. Other than that and the high price this product is AMAZING and I will continue to buy it in the future.
Maybelline Baby Lips- You’re on a first date and the night is coming to a close, he walks you up to your front door, gives you one last glance, is about to lean in for a kiss when he notices your dry, cracked and flaky lips. He immediately pulls his head away and tells you he will talk to you this week, and of course you never hear from him again. Haha ok so maybe dry lips aren’t THAT bad but, to me they are something that can easily be fixed and should be out of courtesy to the person you are kissing ;). I am a freak when it comes to chapped lips and always keep a stick close by, and that brings me to my next product- Maybelline’s Baby Lips, one of the hottest chap sticks on the market right now. This is a moisturizing lip balm that contains SPF 20 and is said to give 8 hours of moisture and lip renewal. What makes this product so amazing is that it is clinically proven to make lips visibly less dry, less rough, more supple, and better looking after a month of use. I recently purchased 2 of these and I have fallen in love. It really makes your lips look and feel 100% better than before you put it on. This comes in 6 different flavors: Quenched, Peppermint, Cherry Me, Grape Vine, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss. Right now I have the Quenched that is just a colorless one that smells amazing and feels even better on my lips, and Pink Punch that comes with a little tint which I also love! Basically this is my go to chap stick right now and I recommend everyone go out and buy it. I did not find it where the usual stash of chap sticks are at CVS but rather with the rest of the Maybelline make up line. At $4.29 it is a little pricey for a chap stick but I promise you it is worth every single penny!
Lip and Cheek Stains- To my dismay my boyfriend never wants to kiss me if I wear lipstick or anything with color in it, rightfully so. How attractive would it be for him to be walking around with a bright pink pout? Haha not my style at all! So I have always been on the hunt for something that will not come off if I kiss him and I have found just the product that not only is a lip stain but a cheek stain too! Benefit has 3 different shades of this product and I will give you the scoop on all of them!
Benetint- this is the original in this amazing trio, and still one of the BEST. This stuff is a kiss proof and waterproof sheer tint that can be applied to both cheeks and lips. It is described as “the sexiest flush you can get from a bottle” and let me tell you Benefit is not lying when they say this. Not only does this stuff stay on all day but it offers a nice rosie cheeked look or even a daring red lip look that is sure to turn some heads. If you want to enhance just apply one coat, let it sit, and then apply as many coats as desired. Just make sure you let it dry before you keep applying.
Posie Tint- As of right now this is my favorite of the three tints that Benefit has. This is a beautiful petal pink stain that can be worn on the cheeks or on your lips, lasting for hours without a smudge in sight. When applied to the cheeks, it gives you a radiant glow while adding a hint of pink that is cute and girly, but also really makes your cheekbones stand out in a sexy way. This stuff also looks amazing on your lips. With just one coat your lips just look like they normally would, but better. It just looks like you healthy pink lips which I love! Or layer it on and get a dramatic pink stain that is promised to stay on even during a long make out sesh ;)
Cha Cha Tint- This is a beautiful mango tinted stain that blushes lips and cheeks with “a tropical sunset hue”. This is a perfect tint for the summer time, but also if you just want to give yourself that summer glow. This color really compliments every skin tone and looks amazing on. Like the other 2 in this terrific trio this puppy is long lasting and should stay on through out the day and only come off when you wash your face. This peachy-coral color should brighten up your complexion and should have you feeling like you just left the beach!
How to use- Apply three dots/swipes on the apples of your cheeks and then with fingers or makeup sponge blend the color into your skin. When applying to lips just basically paint it onto lips and use a Q-tip to wipe away any places you went off your lips. At $29 this is quite expensive, but it lasts for about a year and doubles as a blush and lip tint so I think it is worth your money!
