Miracle product for smooth lips- Mary Kay Satin Lips® Lip Mask review

After a twitter talk about Mary Kay with Makeup by Kim Porter suggested that I try out Mary Kay Satin Lips® Lip Mask.   This my first non-diy lip mask, so I was skeptic.. my fear was that I would have a allergic reaction.Satin Lips® Lip Mask contains miniature buffing beads that gently exfoliate dead surface skin cells that cause lips to appear dull and lifeless.


 Lets start off with the appearance. The mask comes in a soft 3 oz tube. Having a product like this in a tube is beneficial for sanitary reasons.

You can:
A) squirt it on a metal plate and apply it with a lip brush or
B) use clean fingers to apply the product.

Product: 

White cream with mini buffing beads. I like the fact that didn't have a scent.

Directions:
Apply to lips for 1- 2 minutes, then remove.
I  know this is dumb but was surprised to see that the lip mask dried on my lips..lol.  I used a drop of water to exfoliate the using the mini beads.

Conclusion:
Ladies! I think we found a miracle product!! I didn't take a before picture because I was afraid someone would use it as blackmail LOL.. I can`t believe how quick and simple it was. With my DIY lip scrub, I made nothing but mess.

As you all can see from the picture below my lips are smooth and look moisturized. Without any gloss or balm.

This product would get a thumbs from me. I also thank Kim for the recommendation.

Price:
$15.00
Where can you find it:

Shop my Clothing Stash: Fashion Deal- High-Waisted Skirt

I`m excited to start this new series. I noticed that my fashion post especially of outfits of the day receive a lot of comments. I wish I could keep up with the demands but I suck at full body shots..LOL.

I'm on a no buy...my current obsession is shopping my clothing stash..mixing..matching & falling in love with pieces that still have the tag on it!!

In this shop my clothing stash edition I want to highlight my high-wasited floral skirt I got from Stitches for $5.00.

This skirt is very casual but can easily be dressed up. In the summer I plan on wearing this with a white v-neck, no tights & brown gladiators.

For $5.00 this was a steal and I'm glad I bought it!

Is there any items you would like to see from my stash? 

I love the input and 9 times out of 10 I probably own it :D

April Empties- Burt`s Bees & The Body Shop

I have an announcement!! I haven't bought any make-up/beauty related product in almost a month. Yes.. yes.. I`m on a serious no buy.

If I could only show you the amount of products that I have not opened or used once.. you would all disown me.. LMAO. After reading several blog posts on empties..especially  Gaby's.  I decided it would be beneficial to start my own empties journey. I think ill start small and try to finish 4 or more products a month.

Here is some information on these products:

The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Scrub (mini)

This scrub came with the gel, along with a body butter and puff. I bought the gift pack just for the scrub! I like the scrub but I wish that it didn't crumble so easy. If I had to rate it out of 10,  i'd give it a 9. So basically it lost 1 point...no biggie.
