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!

Stila - Color Balm Lipstick




I am loving my new Stila - Color Balm Lipstick. 

It is creamy, feels great on my lips and lasts longer than the average lip balm.  The price is $22 and comes in 19 different shades, depending on where you purchase it. This one is a winner.



Sephora website promotes it as:  A creamy lip color with the full pigment-load of a lipstick, the nourishing properties of a balm, and the shine of a gloss. Featuring a luxe, satin finish, Color Balm lipstick offers excellent color payoff, subtle shine, and phyto-derived emollient properties that deliver hydrated and healthy lips. Naturally cooling peppermint oil provides a fresh and rejuvenating sensation, while exclusive sunflower-based polyglycerides smooth lip contours and add volume and definition to lips. A handy mirror on the top of the cap makes on-the-go application a snap. Formulated WITHOUT:  Parabens, Sulfates or Phthalates.
