Makeup Talk: Lip Primer

Let's have a discussion today! :) I was just scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook, and I saw this post about "Lip Primer: is it worth it to buy it?" So, I commented on it. And then I decided to start a discussion on here with my viewers. 

The topic will be about lip primers (obviously), and I am asking all of you to answer these three questions:

1. "Do you use lip primer?"
2. "Why do you (or why don't you) use it?"
3. "Is it worth it to buy it? (Would you recommend it?)"

My answers are:

1. Yes I do! :)
2. I honestly love lip primer. I have two different brands of lip primers: Femme Couture, and e.l.f. Cosmetics. Frankly, the Femme Couture ($8) does not work nearly as well as my e.l.f. Cosmetics ($3) primer. Plus, the e.l.f. Lip Primer is a nude-ish color, so when you put your lipstick over it, the color is definitely TRUE color.
   Even if I eat or drink or anything, the color stays. Don't get me wrong, some of the lipstick or gloss will come off, but it keeps the color intact. It really helps if you blot your lipstick after applying primer and color. That's the best way to keep it on all day. 
3. I would say, yes. It's worth it. For me, it keeps my lip color on all day.

I want to hear from you! Comment with your answers, and feel free to discuss it with each other, too!

Thanks for stopping by! Keep checking in for more posts like these :) I love you all! Peace, love, and namaste! <3

I'm back!

Sorry everyone! I know I haven't posted anything in quite awhile. My life has gotten completely chaotic over the last few weeks. Things are settling back out now, and I'm getting ready to do a new Makeup Of The Day look, as well as a product review and a giveaway! Check back later for the details :) I'm excited to be blogging again! Thanks for everyone's patience :) Love you all! <3

Natural White: 5 Minute Whitening Gel Kit

Natural White: 5 Minute Whitening Gel Kit

So, I’m going to go ahead and start by letting you know that this whitening kit was only $1 at my local Dollar Tree. With it being only one dollar, I really didn't get my hopes up too much, that way I wouldn't be disappointed if it was a bad product.

Well, I used it for the first time tonight just to see if I even saw a slight difference from one use. Now, the directions tell you to put the gel into the tray before putting it into your mouth. However, since I already have previous experience with bleaching my teeth, I knew that I didn't want to do that. So, I put the gel onto my teeth using a q-tip. I didn't use a lot, just enough to coat the front of the teeth, and I didn't apply it all the way up to my gum-line because I anticipated that the gel would push up when I put the trays in. 

I set a timer on my phone for 5 minutes and I just hopped back onto my laptop and chose a song from YouTube and browsed on Facebook. 

-Let me just go ahead and tell you, I have EXTREMELY sensitive teeth. So, I really was afraid to use this because of my previous experiences with teeth whitening gel. Even the Crest strips caused me pain. It literally felt like I was at the dentist being drilled into, without the laughing gas. And the pain would usually set in the very second I put the trays in.

Thankfully, with this teeth whitening gel, it didn't hurt me at all. At least, not until the very last second, I got one small pain in my front tooth that lasted only a millisecond. But literally as soon as I got the pain, my timer went off on my phone before I even had a chance to react to it. 

So, I went to rinse it out and of course I brushed my teeth afterwards to make sure I got every last bit of the gel out of my mouth. And what I saw definitely made me happy! My teeth were noticeably whiter. I tried to take some photos of the results, but the camera just wasn't doing it justice.

For one buck, I am a satisfied customer! The label says not to use this product for more than 14 days, without being approved to do so by a dentist. And you use it twice a day. I read a review from a woman earlier saying that she ended up going through this whole tube in a week, but for $1 a week for 2 weeks, that’s not too bad of a price to pay to get a brighter smile! And you may end up using less than that one woman did, I really have a feeling that I will.

Bottom line: I’m giving this product a thumbs up! I definitely plan to buy more, and maybe even give them to a few friends as gifts!

I’ll post an update on my teeth in two weeks with a before and after shot of the results, so go ahead and follow my blog to get my updates, as well as my new product reviews :) Thanks for reading!

Natural White 5 Minute Tooth Whitening System - Gel & Tray Teeth Bleaching Kit

And one last thing that I would like to recommend are these boil & bite bleaching trays. Now, I haven’t personally used them, but my step-mom used to use these when I was younger and she was always happy with them. They are at an unbeatable price, as well, especially when compared to the prices of having professional molds done at the dentist or orthodontist :)

Oh, and I also found this nifty little LED whitening light that amplifies the effects of the whitening gel! I saw reviews of many people who used this light with the Natural White gel, and they were extremely satisfied customers! For the light being this inexpensive, why not go ahead and grab that, too, right? :)
