Quick tip: over expired Mac lip products

Ola beauty lovers! It is Saturday and usually Saturdays are my filming days for my youtube channel. But since it was nice out today for once here in Toronto I decided to skip the filming and lay out side in the sun. Yes I wore sun screen for those of you who are wondering. So I spent a couple hours outside to get my bronzey glow on because girl you know how it is when you are getting glamed up in the summer time, the tan is a must.

Anyways so I come back into my room before I head into the shower and I glance randomly at my lipgloss drawer and said hmmm that drawer is looking a bit too full. Maybe it's time I go through it and see what lip glosses are bad for me to throw out. I know, I know, products you bought and some point now your gonna throw them away?!

Well yes. Hate to break it to ya but lip glosses have a life span and I had some Mac glosses that have been around for ages so I knew I had a couple that must have gone ratchet. How can you tell when a Mac lipgloss goes bad you ask? Well it's simple, you know how Mac lip products usually smell like vanilla sweet scent? That's when you have the green light that they are still ok to use. But when your lippies from Mac begin to smell like play dough that's how you know it's time to get rid of them! You definately don't want to put that on your lips when it smells like that! Yuck!

So how many glosses did I throw out you may be curious to know? Good news is I only had to throw out two of the handful and a half that I own :)

Go through your stash of Mac lippies and test them out, if you are smelling play dough instead of that sweet vanilla smell then you know it's time to get rid of them.

I put the two bad glosses in my back to Mac bag so that once I have six empties I am bringing them back for a free gloss or lipstick :)


Until next time beauty lovers ❤️

Limecrime Pink Velvetine Quick Review

Ola beauty lovers! I saw a swatch of this Lime crime pink velvetine a while ago online and I just fell completely in love that I picked one up before the holidays. If you haven't seen the swatches on line go check out this link below and you will see what I am talking about.

Tell me after seeing that swatch that your beauty product heart just melted? I know mine did. :)
I have Lime crime lipsticks that I just absolutely enjoy. If you haven't seen my review on those click on this link below:

So I knew I was going to just have great times with this new baby in my life. First off let me say that Lime Crime shipping packaging is the cutest ever. Comes in a small box with the inside lining printed of white and pink and a Unicorn on the inside of the lid. Then the products are all wrapped in the this neon green tissue paper. Adorable.

The product packaging is even cuter! Lip gloss type of tube, with a red top and a bit of floral design on the handle of the tube. The product has a doe foot applicator (my favorite type of lip product applicator ever).

Now are you ready for it? My thoughts on the actual product itself...Loving it! Ok I only have the one shade in pink velvet BUT I just love love love it! The formula applies on like a mouse texture and then dries to a matte finish.

I must warn you, this is very drying to the lips, so make sure you moisturize those lippies before you apply this product to keep the matte affect. If you don't mind a glossy finish then add a gloss after ward to give your lips some hydration.

Despite the mattifying effect, which I don't mind, the color is so opaque that this product you only need a TINY TINY TINY bit to apply to the lips because the color is so BAM in your face. :)
They only have three shades available at the moment, a red, a coral orange, and the pink. So the color selection is not wide in range. So if you are a neutrals girl and only wear neutrals then this product might not be for you.  Hell it's a new year girl, just try a bright color, who knows you may like it. That way when you try it you can say I inspired you to try a bright color :)


Anyways, that is all for today. Until next time beauty lover!
