Happy New Year! I hope the first day of 2017 has treated you well!
I have been taking a couple of holiday weeks off from blogging, but I am back! I hope to blog more frequently once I have more amazing products to review, like the ones below.
These products are my fave this week. They include gorgeous lip products, a zesty body soap, a cool round hair styling brush, and fab new nail polishes:
LORAC Alter Ego Lip Liner ($17 USD) –These sexy and playful lip liners are highly-pigmented, smudge-proof and perfect for lining or filling in your lips for color that lasts. Alter Ego Lip Liners contain antioxidants such as Acai Berry, Pomegranate, Grape Seed Extract, and Vitamin E to help keep lips soft and healthy while preventing color from bleeding, feathering and fading. Whether you wish to be a Goddess, Socialite or a Dominatrix (even if just for a night), Alter Ego Lip Liner comes in a gorgeous range of colors from soft nudes to vivid hues to create any look you covet. Embrace your every identity and dress up your lips with LORAC.
LORAC Alter Ego Lipstick ($17 USD) — Instantly transform your look with LORAC Alter Ego Lipstick. These sexy and playful lipsticks coat your lips in highly-pigmented color with an opaque, matte finish. Alter Ego Lipstick contains antioxidants such as Acai Berry, Pomegranate, Grape Seed Extract, and Vitamins C and E.
What I think: The lip pencil is amazing! I have it in Duchess, the color above. It is my lip color but better, so I can wear it under all colors of lipstick, like the nude above. The lipstick is a moisture-rich matte, not a drying one. It looks gorgeous on and is comfortable to wear. Pair them together and they last for hours!
