Lip Monthly - August 2014.

This month's Lip Monthly came in a bag.  Sort of like Ipsy.  At least that's what I immediately thought of when I saw it.  I did like the bag though, it's usable. 

If you'd like to sign up for Lip Monthly, you can HERE and the code SUMMERLIPS I believe now makes the bag 6.99.  You get four lip products and one other product, usually something beauty related.

This month I received:

• City Color Be Matte lipstick in Phoebe.
• City Color Lip Balm in Ultra Pink
• City Color Magic Balm
• Jesse's Girl lip gloss in Lickity Split.
• Pixi Lid Last Shadow Pen in Gentle Gold.
• Extra for doing a blog post: City Color Lip Gloss Hot Pink.

I've linked to posts where I've used the first three (I know I've used the Ultra Pink too but I can't find the post, I remember it was more peachy than pink) two products listed.

The picture below is to show on the Magic Balm there was something black, on the actual lip product, not the packaging.  That was a little unsettling to me.

My favorite product has to be the Matte lipstick, I really really adore the color.  I'd love to try more of those.   This month's theme was City Color Cosmetics, which while I really loved the matte lipstick, Idk if I loved the theme of the brand.  I wish there'd been more variety, maybe a theme not based on a brand but based on more of a topic.

I will also note I have had a few customer service issues around a referral so if you go thru my link above please leave me a comment letting me know, that'd be much appreciated <3

Updated Lipstick Drawer Pictures!

 - Just kind of an updated view of my lipstick drawer (which if you notice the two containers not in the drawer I have clearly merged into a second drawer.) atm.

- I also have a bunch of lip balm stains type things stacked in the back and some larger lipsticks that in no way shape or form can stand up in the drawer.

And on the bottom left is one of my favorite compacts, a friend gave it to me eons ago, it's just an awesome pin up girl.

Oh and if you want to know how I made my lipstick holders (it's certainly not complicated) here's a link to that post, click HERE.

Haulage 3.

- I'm almost done with the haulage, or well I have two pics left but I'll save them for the next time I need to do a haul post, so I'm going to consider myself caught up with Haul posts atm, yay me!

Little Haul.

 - L.A. Colors Art Deco in Intensely Pink and Silver Glitter.

 - L.A. Colors Color Craze I can't remember what the blue is off the top of my head.

- L.A. Colors Color Craze in Wave Length.

- L.A. Colors Color Craze in Live.

- Soft Lips lip gloss in Shell Pink.

Clean And Clear...

- I'd been thinking about buying one of these for while, then I noticed tht in Walgreens ad this week it was 20% off and I got a free Neutrogena Moisture Shine lip gloss.  So how could I go wrong?   I paid 13 dollars and some change for both.

I think this is meant to be a morning routine (Hence "Morning Burst") but I think I'll be using it at night, I'd rather use it to wash off all the humidity of the day and crap.  I tried it last night, for those of you who are going to give it a try, do not start on your forehead, I had soap run into my eye (the same eye) twice, and it hurt so bad.  Ow.   So start on a cheek or something.  I wish it would have stayed warmer, it was warm from the water when I started but got cold quickly.  So a suggestion to the Clean and Clear people, maybe if you can make it heat up just a little so it'd be warm that'd be really nice.  You could market it as a "Warm massage for your cheeks!" or something.   But I think if it were warm that it'd be even better.

I don't feel it woke up my skin but the massage aspect was nice.  Time will tell how it works for my skin.

- As for the lip gloss I got it in Refreshing Rose, it's a really pretty shade, I worn it today and will post pictures at a later date.
