L'OREAL Colour Riche® Balm

The Colour Riche Balm has to be one of my favorite colored lip balms on the market.  It is smooth, creamy and most importantly - thick on your lips.  It makes dry lips feel wonderful.  Comes in 6 different shades and runs $7.99 at drugstores.

Burt's Bee Lipstick

I am loving Burt's Bee products.  So far they work the best for the money.

As I love lipstick, I went to three different drugstores to find the newest lipstick - and I am not disappointed!  It comes in 14 shades - I bought two - and costs $9.99 a tube.  Claims to moisturize for 8 hours with a variety of natural ingredients.  It is a winner in my book!

L'OREAL Infallible® Le Rouge

Bought a tube of Infallible Le Rouge in Rambling Rose,  as they claim it will last 10 hours.  I put on this morning over a lip liner.  After two hours my lips where outlined in lipstick, but the center part of my mouth was devoid of color.  It is very dry and I was constantly licking my lips to moisturize them.  I looked like a clown.  I think I'll need to put a lip balm over the top if I use again and see how that goes.  It does come in 20 colors and runs $9.99 at drugstores.  If you don't mind dry lips, it might work for you!

New REVLON Products

Revlon has come out with five new mascaras.  Since I want length and volume, I purchased the Volume+Length Magnified with my CVS 25% off coupon.  The cost averages $8.99 at drugstores. Can't say it did anything for me.  Three coats to even see a difference in my lashes.  Not doing it for me!

I do like the Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor.  It is a nice alternative to a gloss, which I usually don't use because they are so gooey.  Comes in 8 different shades and is $8.99 in drugstores.

Tata Harper - 100% natural and nontoxic, antiaging skincare products

The packaging caught my eye.  I decided to try Tata Harpers natural skincare Discovery Kit for $68, as the whole product line is an investment of $540.  

There is enough product for 1.5-2 weeks of use.  Love the smell and texture of the Regenerating Cleanser and the Resurfacing Mask.  The moisturizer and serum are a bit greasy for me.  The eye creme is a small sample and I ran out within 3 days.  I cannot really tell any difference in my skin over the week I've been using it.

I don't think I would spring for the whole line but might consider the price for the cleanser. 

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.
