Hey there!
I've had an item or two (or
three of four) that I didn't have high hopes for and ended up in love with
them. It doesn't happen too often but when it does I don't mind giving them a
big thumbs up. It dawned on me last night as I was moisturizing my lips with my
Baby Lips Dr. Rescue that I am a "I'll believe it when I see it type
person." You might be a good thing but you gotta' show me first.
Case and point -- Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue
products. I have several Baby Lips lip balms and love them with all my heart
but when I tried out this Dr. Rescue stuff in Just Peachy and saw that it put a
nude pink coating on my lips, I didn't have much faith in it. I put it next to
my bed and decided it would be my night time lip balm. Good golly miss molly!
That stuff is great! It keeps my lips moisturized all night and when I wake up
the next morning, my lips feel great!
Before Maybelline Baby Lips
Dr. Rescue, I used Nivea Lip Butter in
Caramel Cream Kiss. I purchased this during a CVS sale with 2 other Nivea
lip products. I'm sorry to say that at the time I didn't have many good
things to say about the lip products. The only product that I liked was the lip
butter but I didn't like the packaging. It comes in a tin and you have to put
your dirty finger all up in the tin. I found a way around it though. Right
after I finish washing my face at night (or on a Saturday or Sunday morning), I
wash my hands and slather on some caramel cream kiss. As long as this is your
only lip balm, you are ok. You can't exactly put anything over this. It also
leave your lips soft and smooth but the difference is it doesn't last all night
long. Still, it's a very good product -- just a poorly packaged one.
I always thing that ChapStick
brand lip balm is going to be waxy and taste funny. And then, I see a
new "flavor", try it out and go gaga for it. I say flavor because
with scents like Pomegranate Gum Drop, Citrus Jelly Bean and Cake Batter, if
you don't lick your lips after slathering this stuff on, your olfactory glands
ain't working! I have at least one tube of this stuff in every purse. In fact,
just to take this picture I had to find my "weekend" purse! This
isn't the old cherry flavored ChapStick. This is great stuff that your lips
deserve.
And last but not least, you
could not have told me that I would fall madly, deeply in love with the CoverGirl
Colorlicious Lip Glosses. I found them by accident but I've been loving
them ever since. I could only find the original two that I purchased,
Fruitylicious and Juicy Fruit, but I have 2 others floating around somewhere
(not in my "weekend" purse because I looked there for my ChapStick).
They have great coverage, they feel good on your lips and they smell slightly
sweet and oh so good. The colors have just a hint of sparkle and this lip gloss
girl likes it.
I try not to prejudge...nah.
Who am I kidding?! I always prejudge makeup. These lippies showed me the light.
I love them and I'm so glad I took a chance on them.
What did you try and fall in
love with? Did you run right out and stock up? What won't you ever try again?
