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!!

So, I've been wanting to post this for a while...this whole pin up thing? It's new for me.  I've always loved the pin up culture and felt at HOME in the style, make up and life. I love the body acceptance and individuality celebrated within the culture.

This journey started, for ME, because of my acceptance into Pinups for Patriots. #pfp, #pfppa

As I've been telling people about it, and attempting to recruit new members, I usually get a similar response from almost everyone. Everyone says how awesome it is, how fun it must be....but that they could never be a pinup....for various reasons.  They don't have the legs...or the body....they can't do hair...or makeup.

I'm here to tell you that, anyone can be a pinup and that its a state of mind, not necessarily a state of body!

I am not perfect by any means! My hair is a long unruly mess. My eyeliner is never perfect and usually smudged. I neeeeed to lose weight....but as this journey has begun...I've realized something...

Before I can expect others to accept me, I have to start accepting and loving myself!!!! Because if I can't love the way I look I obviously won't be able to accept others complimenting me. I need to get used to compliments. I need to get used to taking pictures with others and being in front of a camera again. 

The only way I can do that is if it starts within MYSELF. So, without further ado...here I am.

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!!!
