After watching a video for this new & different type of lip product, I was intrigued & found this 6 pack (for $6!) on Amazon.ca.
I experimented for awhile with these in order to see how they'd work best. For the most precise application, I use a cotton swab. The next important thing is to keep my mouth open for as long as possible after I apply it, otherwise, the stain won't set, it'll be sticky. It must be dry before I peel it off. Once it's dry, I close my lips tight & press hard so it will all come off on the bottom lip. Most of it does come off, but the bits that remain I rub into my lips, which does stain my finger (so remember to use a cotton swab).
The 3 darker colours (Cherry Red, Sexy Red, Rose Pink) work better for me than the lighter shades. I mainly use it as a base, then apply lipstick or gloss on top. Even if I don't put on lipstick after it, my lips have colour.
It's good for before you're going out to a restaurant & don't want bare lips, but don't want to leave lipstick stains on cups, cutlery & napkins. It's also nice for wearing at home to have some colour.
For $1 each, this was certainly an affordable and fun purchase!

Being a chocoholic, I thought I'd love anything chocolate. Not so with BOOST. The flavour isn't a strong chocolate one, and the first thing I detected unfortunately was an artificial sweetener taste, and yes, there's some Stevia in it (2nd to last ingredient). I don't like the aftertaste. I also wouldn't drink this again due to the corn syrup (2nd ingredient), sugar (4th ingredient), and followed by vegetable oils in it. I tried it before and after workouts, as a snack & in replace of a meal. I didn't notice any change to my energy. I was still hungry at the usual times. I would drink chocolate milk if I needed an energy boost, or for an indulgence, a milkshake, and avoid all the ingredients mentioned above I don't want to drink, and the artificial flavour, cellulose gel & gum, carrageenan and dimethylpolysiloxane. It's also quite expensive. -

Dove® Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing Body Wash
Anything Dove, and I'm in. You've got the classic Dove® scent, which can't be beat. An exfoliating in with the body wash, but it's gentle. Win - win. Another great new product addition to the Dove line.

Degree® Women MotionSense Sheer Powder Antiperspirant Stick
This new antiperspirant version of Degree works quite well. I like the powder scent, which is best in an antiperspirant. I would recommend it and buy it again.

St. Ives® Timeless Skin Mineral Clay Firming Mask
I like to use this mainly in the summer when I sweat more from the humidity or exercise, to really get a deeper clean that firms my skin, not dries it out. Another great product in the St. Ives line with an affordable price.

St. Ives® Renew & Purify Sea Salt & Pacific Kelp Exfoliating Body Wash
Anytime there's an exfoliator in a product, that's a double thumbs up. Putting it in a body wash is a great idea. I feel like I'm really getting clean using this, and I feel squeaky clean after.
