Review | e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator

e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator 

$3 on eyeslipsface.com

I suffer from really dry lips that have an obnoxious tendency to peel all of the time. It's most likely due to all of the extended stay lipsticks I wear. (I especially love red) 

So - I was pretty excited about this e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator when I spotted it at my local Target. I've already tried Lush's Bubble Gum lip scrub with mixed success. (Meh - I consider it more messy than helpful) It tastes really yummy though! This lip exfoliator by e.l.f also taste very nice - I would call it a pleasant maple syrup flavor. :) Nom nom nom...

I find e.l.f's packaging to be very hit or miss, in this case I think it's very nice. (The studio line is prettier in my opinion) I was really drawn to this scrub because it seemed so convenient. (You have to apply the Lush scrub by finger) I imagined myself driving down the road and exfoliating/moisturizing at the same time. (Super easy/no worries)

My first two applications went great - it buffed away the dead skin and left a layer of smooth jojoba oil and Shea butter in it's path. (Be gentle - this scrub can be quite rough) Sadly - It has left me a bit disappointed every time I have used it since then. Maybe it's just because I picked up a faulty tube? It seems like the exfoliating granules are the only thing I'm getting when I apply it. (Which can be kinda painful) I have been having to use the sides to glide over my lips when I'm done using the top. So strange! I really had high hopes for this lip treatment! Maybe if I hang with it long enough I will get back down to some balm? I sure hope so! I do believe it is worth a try, maybe you will have more success than I did. If not...it was only a $3 loss. :)

Review | e.l.f. Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths

I went to Wal-mart in search of makeup remover wipes the day that we were leaving for our North Carolina trip. I was in a big hurry and these happened to catch my eye, so I quickly grabbed them and ran. Little did I know that I would be so darn fond of them! (This was a couple of weeks ago)

(You can also find e.l.f. products at Target, Wal-mart, and sometimes the Dollar Store)

The package (in the above photo) is actually my second one. I loved them so much that I just had to go out and purchase them again when I ran out. Unlike most makeup remover wipes, these do not dry my face out at all. I find them so refreshing...and affordable! I've tried much less impressive wipes at a much higher price before. I find e.l.f. impressing me all the time! They are very gentle and you can really tell that they are infused with Aloe Vera Extract. Initially - I was a little worried about the Aloe, I was afraid my skin would freak out on me. I've had a good bit of acne problems since Miri arrived, although I now "think" it is due to the Biotin I'm taking for my hair. (More on the current state of my hair later.) I really feel like these cloths have actually improved the appearance of my skin. They are even tough enough to remove waterproof mascara! Let me say it again...they only cost $3...so go try them. :)
