One of the best drug store lipglosses

I cant think of anything bad about the Colorburst lipglosses, they are super pigmented and just amazing. They aren't thick and gloopy like a lot of other lip glosses I own. They don't have any weird smells or tastes, and they work amazing for the price. Definitely a great alternative to the Estee Lauder lip glosses.

Amazing!

I just love these nail polish strips! I bought a pack of these (the pink glittery one, not sure what it's called) after reading a bunch of reviews about how great they were. Sadly though I didn't follow the instructions and decided to open up one of the packs, looked at the strips, and then placed them back into the box to use later, even though the instructions clearly state to use them as soon as you open up the pack otherwise they wont stick. So after wasting one pack I went back to a store and bought a new pack of them (the zebra style one, Wild Child.). This time I actually followed instructions.

First off, applying them. Applying the strips was incredibly hard for me. It was hard to get them at the right angle to put them on my nails and they easily became uneven while trying to file the excess off and I ended up getting a few wrinkles in a few of the nail polish strips during the process. 30 minutes later I finally got them all on, and besides quite a few dents and wrinkles, they just look amazing! I've gotten compliments while wearing them and the variety of strips you can buy is great. Of course, it's a lot quicker and easier to just apply nail polish (plus not as expensive), but if you have the time it's really worth it. I've already bought two more packs and it's getting easier to apply them too. Plus there are so many ways you can use them, you can paint some nails with nail polish and apply strips on one or two nails, or you can even use two different strips, one different one on each nail, etc.

So if you want some pretty nail designs and don't feel like paying all that money to go to a salon or, like me, are horrible at painting your nails and wouldn't be able to do designs without it looking like poo, be sure to pick up some Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips!

Why do people like this so much?

I was really interested in trying this, so many people rave about it and the packaging is adorable. I bought the one in the green packaging, not sure what type it is, but it smelled really good when I opened it up and I really had high hopes for it. I put it on and it wasn't moisturizing at all. I don't know if there's something wrong with the one I bought, but it doesn't work. It just feels really dry on my lips.

Great for the price!

Recently during a trip to Walgreen's I picked this amazing lipstick up. I really wasn't expecting much since I'm kind of a makeup snob and most drugstore makeup I buy I end up not liking, but this lipstick really surprised me.

I bought Temptress Charmeuse because it was a hot pink lipstick and that was exactly what I was looking for. I thought that when I swatched the lipstick it would be a dull light pink but it was actually as bright as it looked. It was easy to apply and went on smoothly. It will stay on your lips for quite a while, but also might stain them (it did stain mine.). That's the only bad thing I have to say about it. I've read other reviews on how the lipstick is not very moisturizing as claimed, but I haven't noticed that.

Pros Very pigmented Lasts quite a while on lips Applies smoothly

Cons May stain lips Some claim it to not be very moisturizing (**Edit*** : After using the lip stick more, I do agree with this statement. It makes my lips quite dry, but that's nothing a clear gloss wont solve.).

I'd have to give this lipstick a 4 out of 5, it's awesome!
