Music for your lips...

With so many lip balms in the market, which one is the best value for your money and moisturizing without feeling too waxy?  Look no further my peeps, at your local Trader Joes. Yes! Let me introduce you to Trader Johann's  Virtuoso lip balm. It comes in a pack of 3 for $2.49 + sales tax.

Yes, that is music for your lips. Beat that Burts Bees! Of course, how can you compare $3 for one tube of Burst Bees to .85 cents for one mighty tube ofTrader Johann lip balm.  Come on! Trader Johann even added spf 15 and St. John's wort for added happiness to those smackers of yours.  Talk about kissable smackers!

So next time when you lose another lip balm, just drive over to Trader Joes for some Lip Virtuoso; just don't go there and belt out a tune cuz someone may tell yoi that the closest karaoke bar is 5 miles away.  ;)

Tone me up at a Bargain

Hi folks! Here's a double whammy for ya! Another inexpensive beauty product that is high quality and more natural for girls and the dudes: Humphreys Witch Hazel astringent.

Guys are probably scratching their chin right now trying to figure out what is this. Well, if you were using this you wouldnt be scratching your chin or other parts of your face. You see, you think your face is clean because you washed it with soap...NEGATIVE! Soap leaves a lot of residue and not all of the dirt is completely gone. That's where toner comes into play, but most toners are pricey, sold at cosmetic counters and thereby have to charge a lot for these products. 

The popular toner I am comparing this to is Clinique's clarifying lotion- for either type of skin-at $27 for the 16.5 oz bottle, according to Sephora.com.  That can get pretty steep at daily use and can cause a big hole in your pockets every year.  Again I present to you Humphreys witch hazel astringent at just $7 for the 16 oz bottle at  Whole Foods. Yes, $7 at Whole Foods...haha! 

And guys, don't worry about smelling like a chick because its fragrance free. See, anything is possible for good looking healthy skin. Not only does it really clean out your skin but it balances out the moisture; and it soothes minor irritation after shaving. See? It's a win win situation: fragrance free, a good size, helps skin look and feel good, its at Whole Foods and not a make-up counter, and its $7. There you go!! Your Welcome!!

Fab Eyeliner on the cheap

This is my blog and as you can see I blog about anything that is on my mind, including recommendations of fabulous products. And actually this is the 2nd time I've done this.

Yes you read correctly folks, I found a fabulous eyeliner that is super inexpensive! May I introduce you to:  Jordana Color Xtend eyeliner.

It glides on super smoothly and its waterproof; no tug and pull.  I compare this to Urban Decay Glide On  24/7 eye pencils. At $3 its a super steal whereas the Urban Decay pencils are $19 and the black one is always out of stock at Sephora. I bought mine at the toy district in DTLA at a makeup store. I absolutely recommend this eyeliner.

p.s. I am not getting paid to write this review. I am doing it because people need to know about good stuff that is out there especially in the bad economy where we need to stretch our dollar. :)
