Jessica Robertson Lip Gloss Review

Hello loves!

Finally sitting down to write this post, my apologies that it has taken SO long! Like my partner in crime, Danielle, I too was offered the chance at reviewing the Jessica Robertson Lip Gloss line, from Dr. Sun Rx.  

Danielle said it amazingly, so I'll just echo her!  "The creators of Podz, and Dr. Sun Rx teamed up with Duck Dynasty's own Jessica Robertson to launch a selection of nourishing beauty products.  The lip gloss line features a rich and creamy formula to smooth your lips into the perfect pout."

You've probably seen Jessica Robertson on TV, she's a very fashionable mom and wife, on Duck Dynasty. I don't watch the show myself but I've seen her do several appearances on the TV circuit and she always looks stunning!

Now, its only been in recent years that I've considered myself "girly"...Typically I find that I like being a bit more low maintenance.  That being said, I've ALWAYS loved lip gloss! I love the way it feels on and just brightens your face!  Even when I go more simplistic with my make up, I always use a great lip color!!

The typical collection features 6 colors, featured above! I was given Cherry Red, Cotton Candy and Nude for the purposes of this review.  At first glance I loved the fashionable wands and the shiny handle! It was comfortable in my hand and easy to find in my cavern of a purse...when I took the time to carry one ;)

TOP- NUDE
MIDDLE- CHERRY RED
BOTTOM- COTTON CANDY

Of the three colors I was given (seen above), my favorite was certainly the cherry red, because what is pinup modeling without a signature red lip? ;)  I do like them ALL though. I found that they apply very smoothly and I loved the moisturizing feel and pleasant smell!

Cherry Red has been my go to for days that I'm doing my signature pin up look.

I love the Nude for days that I want to go with more of a low key, fresh face look.  The colors above are very true to what you get, its a great color!  I did notice when I looked on the website, the nude color reads much lighter than what is shown here and what I received...just FYI. :)

The Cotton Candy is actually SO great to use as a cheek color!!  I put a few dabs on the apples of my cheeks after I've applied my moisturizer and foundation and then just use my clean fingertips to blend  out and upwards towards my temple, using a circular and swiping motion.  Such a fun way to get more than one use out of the lip gloss and I found it to be a PERFECT hue.   Plus I am not a fan of harsh blush looks so this just gives a hint of pink and makes your face look very natural ;)

My daughter being an ADORABLE model. She's wearing Cotton Candy! She loves when I let her wear my "Mate Up"

Like most lip glosses, I do find that they staying power could be a TAD better.  BUT with such a smooth application, reapplying is a breeze. I hate when you go to reapply a lipgloss and it is sticky or waxy. NONE of that mess here :)

You can purchase these lip glosses at pretty much any tanning salon near you, or through www.drsuncosmetics.com

If I were to purchase from the line, I would definitely love to try the lip gloss in Mocha or Berry!!  I'm also planning to try the Podz line at some point hopefully!!

Mascara love!!

Hello, lovelies! Lindsey Rae here finallly getting a chance to blog!!! Huge thanks to my partner in crime for holding it down til I could get the chance to figure it out.

For my first post I decided to do a review of my favorite make up accessory EVER.  I'm not being reimbursed for this post whatsoever, I just love it THAT much.  I've never been the most confident person, especially when it comes to physical aspects about me.  But the one thing I do like are my eyes.  So it would make sense to highlight them, right?!?!

Maybelline's Great Lash mascara has been my GO TO mascara for as long as I can remember. It's easy to find with the vibrant pink and green colors, but beyond that it's affordable!

I have tried other, more expensive mascaras. They all promised the same things. Voluminous, gorgeous lashes. And while each may have had their own positive aspects, none could hold a candle to this one.

I love that it accentuates the lashes that I have, while also giving them a little more volume and color.  There are several different options in the great lash line. This one, "Lots of Lashes" is a dark black and the applicator brush is small enough that you can pay special attention to individual lash areas and get good coverage. I love that it separates the lashes and eliminates most clumping issues!!

Well, I need to make dinner, but I hope to be back soon with more about me, my family and my new pin up journey!!!

Body Fantasies NEW Sweet Berry Fantasy

I recently had the opportunity to sample Body Fantasies' newest addition to their Signature line, Sweet Berry Fantasy.

Fruity and feminine with just a hint of floral, this fragrance is flirtatious blend of fresh fruits and the seductive scent of peony.  Top notes include pink grapefruit, peach nectar, succulent red berries, and melon.  Mid notes include jasmine, lily of the valley, and candied rose.  Base notes of sweet musk, white amber, vanilla extract and sheer sandalwood round out this delectable fragrance.  

It retails 8 oz for $6.99, and will be available in Winter 2015 at your local Walmart and drugstores. Just in time to stuff those Christmas stockings!  I do think this is a great fragrance for Spring though, and I'm very happy to have been able to add it to my fragrance rotation.

Other fragrances in the Signature line include:

Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy
Delectable juicy peach and berries open this fragrance, while soft florals round out the middle.  The base, comprised of woods and musk is beautifully crafted to create a feminine, fruity, gourmand experience.

Fresh White Musk
A blend of fresh clean natural scents.  Bright white florals with a mix of soft musks. 

Japanese Cherry Blossom
Swirling petals from the Japanese Cherry Blossom tree inspire this romantic fragrance, full of desire and charm.  Long lasting blend of oriental notes transform into a feminine dry down of fresh cherry blossom, succulent rose, and seductive amber.

Pink Sweet Pea Fantasy
Blissful florals and sparkling fruits are masterly mingled and naturally long lasting.

Vanilla
Classic fragrance combining the clean scents of creamy vanilla, jasmine, fresh apples, and white musks.

Twilight Mist
Mesmerizing and mysterious.  Featuring notes of coconut, fresh plum, and mandarin.  

I was able to sample the Sweet Berry Fantasy, along with Japanese Cherry Blossom, Vanilla, Twilight Mist, and Pink Sweet Pea Fantasy.  I love them ALL, though my definite favorite was the Sweet Berry Fantasy.  I'm so glad they've added it to their lineup.

Old fashioned fragrance tip:  Spritz a little on a cotton ball and tuck it into your bra!  Your chosen fragrance will have you smelling great all day without being too overpowering.

My daughters were delighted with these as well, especially my almost nine year old.  She says her favorite would have to be Twilight Mist, with Vanilla coming in as a close second.

I love that these body sprays are all under $10 for such a large size...they're so inexpensive that I can change up my scent based on my mood or the season easily.  I think next time I'm in Walmart I'll need to pick up a bottle of the Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy as that sounds absolutely lovely for Spring as well!  As you can tell I am so ready for sunshine and flowers!  I'll have to pick a few up for my daughters too, maybe for their Easter baskets!  I know they have several of their fragrances available in travel size minis, so that would be just perfect for the Easter Bunny to hop on by with!
