Review: DuWop Iced Teas Lip Treatment


Hey girls! So today I will be reviewing yet another unique product. It’s the DuWop Iced Tea lip treatment. Basically they’re these lip treatments that come in a variety of tints and they all taste and smell like iced tea mixed with mint. I have the white peach iced tea and it retails for $19. You can buy it off of DuWop’s site as well as in Sephora stores and their website. I think it’s definitely worth praise and you probably will too after reading my review!


Pro(s):
-Very sanitary in stick form and tastes good.
-Very moisturizing and good to use as a base for any lip product.
-It smoothes out the lines on my lips and the scent isn’t too heavy or disturbing.


Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!

Overall review: I absolutely love this product. I don’t understand why DuWop doesn’t get enough recognition for their products. Well, I can safely say that this product is worth buying. It’s a lip treatment that tastes good, smells good, and moisturizes well. I think that anyone looking for a good lip primer will like this. Even though it’s not officially a lip primer, it’s just as good. When used on its own you get a nice glossy finish. I hope all of you enjoy my review and thanks for reading!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, if you’re willing to shell out $19 for a good lip treatment.

Review: Sun Labs Self Tanning Set, Body Polisher, and Bath and Body Set



Hey girls! After a week of my break (I went to Florida with my cousin), I come back to you again with a review. Don’t any of you want that perfect tan without the sun or sun beds because I know I do! After seeing the perfect tans the chicks have in Florida, I decided to come up with a post that reviews products to use for achieving the perfect tan. My one must have product for the summer is the Sun Labs Self tanner set. It comes with an exfoliator, the self tanner, and the maintaining lotion. I especially like using the body polisher with it. It gently exfoliates for an even coating of the self tanner. Keep reading to see my review of all of these products and for additional prices, please take a look at their site!

My review (by product):


-Sun Labs Exfoliant Body Gel: This gel can be purchased individually or in the trio set at different prices. The 8oz. pump bottle retails for $10. It’s green in color and has small exfoliating beads. It’s good to use before applying the self tanning lotion. It smells like mint and isn’t really strong so it won’t bother people with sensitive noses. You just need a small amount and it will exfoliate your entire leg/arm. I really think this product by itself is really worth purchasing. It’s also paraben free and cruelty free. I like it a lot!

-Sun Labs Self Tanning Lotion (Dark): This lotion can be purchased in the trio or alone for $28.50 for 8oz. (I think it’s cheaper in the trio). The tanner comes in different colors to fit people of different skin tones. It comes in medium, dark, and ultra dark. Medium is for super pale people who don’t want to looks too tan, dark is for people who are medium skin toned, and ultra dark is for people who already have a tanned body but want to enhance their tan. I like this a lot because it stays on for a week on me (with proper maintaining) and its paraben and cruelty free. It smells like Dr Pepper just for the reference. It’s also tinted which helps you realize where you’re applying the lotion. The good thing is that it has a pump so you can control how much you’re taking out of the bottle. With a clear one, you might miss a spot. I really think it’s a must have for all pale chicks in the summer since it lasts a really long time!!


-Sun Labs Tan Moisturizer/Maintainer: This product also comes only in the trio set ($39.95) which contains 8oz. of product. It’s a white maintainer moisturizer which helps your tan stay on longer. It helps to keep the moisture in as well as the tan. It smells like aloe and works really great. I think you’ll all enjoy this product since it’s also cruelty and paraben free.


-Sun Labs Body Polisher set: This seems like the dupe to the infamous Clarasonic. It comes with a face buffer (it helped me in the absorption of my facial moisturizers), a body buffer (in conjunction with the exfoliant it prepped my skin for the tanner by exfoliating), the face buffer (helps exfoliate my skin and works with any cleanser), and a pumice stone (helps get rid of dead skin cells in my knees, elbows and heels). All of these products work great with the Sun Labs exfoliant. This body polisher set with the beach bag (which I have). I love the pumice stone the most. It’s the best product I’ve probably ever used before. I think it’s a great dupe for the Clarasonic and at just $59.95 (you also get the Juniper body set) you cannot pass up an offer like that.








-Juniper Bath and Body Set: It comes with 8oz. of juniper berry scented lotion, cleansing gel, and exfoliant. It also works very well in conjunction with the body polisher set. The lotion moisturizes well, the exfoliator works really well even on its own, and the cleansing gel cleanses my body really well. It retails for $25 by itself, but if you want it with the beach bag and polisher set, its $59.95. I think that it’s amazing and you should really think about investing in it!

Review: Senna Sheer Mineral Makeup SPF 20


Hey girls! So, in spirit of summer, I will be reviewing the Senna Cosmetics Sheer Mineral Makeup SPF 20 because people always want good coverage with SPF without having a white cast often triggered by using sunscreen. This has all of those benefits plus others. Its fragrance free, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. It retails for $36 on their site as well as other retailers. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!



Pro(s):
-Stays on for 5-7 hours depending on weather.
-Moisturizes and doesn’t oxidize easily.
-It gives great coverage while containing SPF 20.



Con(s):
-The product contains lots of shimmer and cannot be calmed down although it won’t be that noticeable after a while.
-A bit pricey.

Overall review: This product is really good for all skin types, but best of all, it’s best for oily skin types because it’s oil-free itself. I really liked it since it was waterproof and it withstood my bride’s tears (the one whose makeup I did). I think that it’s a bit pricey, but it’s a pretty good deal because you only need a pea sized amount. When I applied this, it felt like I didn’t have any makeup on. I actually like all of those qualities in makeup. Thanks to Jen for requesting this review and I hope all of my other readers enjoyed!

Rating: 9/10 The shimmer made the rating go down.

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, but if shimmer bothers you, go for their matte foundation.

Review: Marie Louise Moisturizing Toner


Hey girls! So, I bet rarely you bump into a toner which is super moisturizing and still removes excess sebum? Well, the product I’m reviewing today is everything I just described the perfect toner and more. It’s called the Marie Louise Moisturizing. It mixes hydrolyzed yeast and desalted deep sea water to remove excess sebum and makeup while moisturizing your face to keep your skin glowing in a natural way. You can purchase it on their site (link will be in the sidebar) for $81 which might seem a lot, but keep reading to see why it’s worth it!

Pro(s):
-It removes excess makeup while not drying out your skin.
-It conditions and won’t leave a film like other toners.
-Fragrant perfume-y smell that won’t irritate sensitive skin.

Con(s):
-A bit pricey, but worth it (pro?)!

Overall review: I didn’t have to rinse my face after using the tones because it doesn’t leave a sticky film. $81 might seem like a lot, but it’s actually worth it. I’ve been using this since April and it really transformed my skin. It part of my daily face routine now sine it’s really conditioning. It doesn’t dry out my skin like Clinique’s toner. Since its professional skincare, I don’t think you would need to get a facial because ever since I’ve used this, my esthecian has seen an improvement in my skin. I don’t break out that often either. It’s only once in a while testing out products. Oh yeah, and one bottle will last you forever! Thanks to Lola for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, totally worth the $81!
