Kool Aid Lip Balm- Pintester Movement AKA Pintrest FAIL with Video

www.pintester.com recently posted an invite to all of her readers asking that they partake in the Pintester Movement with the goal that we all simultaneously showcase a pin-test inspired by Pintrest on our blogs and social media outlets.  I have accepted that challenge and thusly decided to take on the Kool Aid Lip Balm Pin from Pintrest.  I have been eyeing this nifty pin for quite some time and thought... What the heck... Its time!  It seems simple enough... Well I guess its simple of you actually follow the directions.  I hope you all enjoy the video sampling of my Pintest.  For Shits and Giggles I will be posting my second attempt at this pin tomorrow :-) along with the proper directions.

If you would like to check out all of the other wonderful pin-testers who have joined the Pintester Movement please visit:

P.S. Sonja, keep your eyes peeled for some Kool Aid Lip Balm in your mailbox soon :-)

March 2012 Monthly Favorites

It seems like the month of march just FLEW by, and now we are truly in the midst of spring time. I wanted to share some close up shots of all of my favorite for the month of March.  I hope that you all have a wonderful month of April and keep your eyes peeled for many new videos on my channel.

My first favorite was the L'oreal Color Riche Balm in Rose Elixer 218

I am in love with how moisturizing these balms are, and i really enjoy the hint of color that they add to the lips.

The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Far is AMAZING!  It goes on smooth and blends out seamlessly. The only major fault that I have with the product is the twist up packaging.  It cracked and broke within 10-14 days after purchase and I had to tape the twist top in place to salvage the product.  I wish this had a stronger plastic twist up top!!  I actually really like the texture and delivery of the product up through the domed felt tipped applicator. It is much more soft than I expected.

 Ahhh my ELF Flawless eyeshadow quad in Tantalizing Taupe.  This quad has won my heart. I posted a tutorial for this quad if you are interested in seeing how I apply this set of colors.  I feel like it is very complimentary to my skin tone and eye color(greenish blue-ish)

 I ordered a trio of blushes from the Hautelook website and this has been my favorite!  I love the color for spring.  It goes on well and blends out flawlessly.  I am really impressed with this NYX Blush

 This has been the perfect Coral for spring!  Love the brush on the Rimmel Lasting Pro Nail polishes.  This one is in the color Sunset Coral.

 My beauty blender is my new BFF.  This sponge gets moistened, then squeezed out, then I dot the foundation on my face and litereally stamp out the makeup on my face.  I use the larger round end for the majority of my foundation, and the smaller pointed tip to blend out around my eyes and nose.  I will absolutely be purchasing a new one once this one bites the dust. I received this beauty blender in my February 2012 Birchbox.  If you are interested in joining here is the link. Birchbox

 Lastly I have been trying out and loving the KMS California Freeshape Quick Blowdry spray.  I feel like this helps me dry my hair more quickly, without causing brittle yucky feeling strands.  I will be buying the full size once this sample runs out.
