One of my earliest memories was playing with my cousin’s makeup. I would hide in the bathroom and paint my face and put on layers of mascara and inevitably get in a lot of trouble. As a small child, I can remember being in tow when all of the females would make the visit to the Merrill Norman salon. I would watch in envy while their faces where painted in some hot pink mask. I have no idea what that pink stuff did, but I wanted my face covered in it.

As I progressed to a teenager, with a heavy hand on the eye shadow, my cousin took me to the department store for my first makeover. I have been hooked ever since! I literally cannot pass a makeup counter without trying or buying something. My two biggest obsessions are the longest lasting lipstick and the mascara which will give me long thick lashes. Skin care and anti-frizz hair products follow closely after.

I am a sucker for fancy packaging and the newest, best and so-called promised product that will turn me into one of the glamorous beauties in the latest fashion magazine. Unfortunately for me, most products don’t live up to the hype promised by the advertisement.

Therefore, I’ve decided, along with the help of some of my not so obsessive friends and family to post products that we tried so you can decide if you want to spend your money!

Botanics Tinted Lip Balm

My free full size sample came of Botanic s Tinted Lip Balm in Sheer Guava.  It has a smooth consistency which glides over your lips.  Staying power isn't too long, but a nice lip quencher.

Power of Love

I received a free full sized sample of Pacifica's Power of Love Natural Lipstick in the shade of Tender Heart.  This is a VEGAN product.  I don't really care for the smell or texture of the lipstick, as it isn't smooth and creamy but rather has a mud consistency.  It smells like old cooking oil.  Maybe my sample is old.

The product does have a good cause - for every one purchased, one goes to women in need.
