This week I’m lusting after a great WEN product that I already love, but in the Summer Mango Coconut Scent. This would definitely be a perfect product to primp your hair in the summer! I really love the WEN Cleansing Conditioners, but I ran out of mine (I know I had an extra bottle in my old apartment…but it went missing? Peculiar…) Anyways, you can find this product already on qvc.com for $29.00! Doesn’t it sound delicious?

I received the Spring Beauty Bag but I forgot to post about it, but I will definitely post about the summer bag- because it definitely looks more up my alley!
Let me know in the comments if you were able to sign up for one!
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous with Swatches
When I saw that Revlon was coming out with this product, I got extremely giddy since I had just posted my desire for Tarte‘s Lipsurgence, which I would consider a similar product. I was able to find this at Rite Aid for a whopping $8.99! Later, I saw that Target has them for a much more reasonable $7 and change. After trying this out for a little while I can definitely approve these. They are a more moisturizing version of a typical lip stain, and boy do these stain! One thing I can praise is that these are a screw-up style pencil, so no pesky huge pencil sharpener needed! I am obsessed with the color I got, Rendezvous, which is of course a red-orange shade, that if you know me, you know my name is written all over it! I kind of regret not purchasing more, but hopefully I’ll be able to find a decently stocked display, because these will start to disappear fast! My only complaint is that it is a pain to photograph! I only got one shot of the tube that didn’t look red and neon! (beauty blogger problems?)
Oh lip swatches, I hate you…I just hate looking at my lips that up close…Just me?
Let me know if you’ve tried these in the comments!
May MyGlam Bag Review and Video
This month’s MyGlam Bag has been one of my favorites in the past few months. I think the bag is really cute and we got some great products! Here’s a quick post on the contents of the bag, my thoughts, and my YouTube video on the bag!
The bag itself was a cute design- probably in my top 3 favorites. Unfortunately it did have a pungent odor when I received it, but now it doesn’t smell bad unless you put your nose to it. I love the satiny fabric the bag is made of!
We got a 1.5 ml sample of Philosophy‘s love sweet love fragrance. It is described as flirty fruity fragrance, but to me, it smelled fresh and almost floral. I don’t mind fragrance samples, but a lot of people were unhappy because you can get 3 samples for free when you order from Sephora.com, which often involves fragrance samples.
This product isn’t available online which is my only thing against it. First, if I like them I can’t repurchase them, and secondly because I want to know how much they retail for! These are made of rhinestone-looking studs that are pretty thin, so it could either work very good and stay a long time, or come off super fast. I will definitely review them in the future when I am able to try them out!
I forgot to take a photo of what this product looks like, but I showed it in the video (above). I’m going to give this away some time because it isn’t a color I need to add to my collection, but I absolutely love Studio Gear‘s packaging. If they created a bright carrot-orange lipstick, I’d be all over it! 😉 I heard about a lot of people getting dark brown colors, which they should have opted out, because that is very unflattering on the majority of people. This product retails for $15 all on it’s own, while the entire bag is sold at $10!
Lastly, we got two MyGlam brushes. They are described as concealer and eyeliner defining brushes, but I would use both of them for lips, personally. I’m kind of getting sick of the brushes, but I could really use another retractable lip brush, so they should totally include one of those in an upcoming bag! (*wink cough* MyGlam!!!)
Overall it was a nice bag! Let me know what you think about your bag, and what color of lipstick you got!
Wishlist Wednesday: NCLA Nail Polish
I’ve been lusting after NCLA nail lacquer after stumbling upon this tweet by Miley Cyrus, where she was wearing the color “Poolside Party, All Eyes On Me!” Her tips and toes were polished by celebrity manicurist Jenna Hipp. Since I am obsessed with all things orange, and my favorite female celebrity is Miley Cyrus, how could I refuse? I’d definitely keep your eyes out for this brand! I think their collections (2 so far) are very cute and clever. Their photos remind me of Urban Decay magazine advertisements. I also love to follow them on instagram @shopncla. Of course they’re based in LA, being local as well, I so want to visit them and watch the magic happen for myself! You can find their polishes at shopncla.com for $16.
