Review on Tone Petal Soft Body Wash


Now I am not one to lean towards rose scented products and this is mostly due to the fact that many products that are rose scented and/or contain rose oil in them are very overpowering with the scent of rose and that is just not for me. So when I was selected to do this campaign by BzzAgent, I admit I was a bit apprehensive about trying out this new scent. But I figured that it was worth a shot so I gave it a try...and I am so happy that I did. The scent of rose is there but its so subtle that while you can smell it, it does not over power the senses at all. I also love the fact that this body wash leaves my skin, for the lack of a better term, petal soft all day and the scent lingers all throughout the day! I have fallen in love with this body wash so much that I have passed along the coupons that were included in this campaign to my family and friends, encouraging them to try it out. I recommend to anyone who loves body wash and wants their skin to feel smooth and so soft to give this product a try. Its not that expensive and can be found in many stores. And if you have tried it out, then please feel free to leave a comment about your experience. :-)

Now let's go into a bit of detail about the product itself and the packaging. While I am not a fan of pink myself, I must admit that the packaging itself is very soft looking, and matches the name of the product perfectly. The body wash itself, soaps up very nicely and as with some body washes a little does go along way. It does not leave your skin feeling dry at all, rather it penetrates deeply and keeps your skin moisturized and smooth feeling all throughout the day. The soft scent of roses lingers to your skin throughout the day as well. I really do love this product and I am already making plans to purchase it myself asap. :-)

Review on Mary Kay Lip Primer and True Dimensions Lipstick

Swatch of Lipstick
Lipstick and Lip Primer













About a month back I was lucky enough to score these two products in a Giveaway that Mary Kay was doing during the Project Runway show. I have never tried anything by Mary Kay in the recent years so I was extra happy and excited to be able to try out these products and to give out my review on them.
The first product I received was the Mary Kay TimeWise Age-Fighting Lip Primer. This is the first time that I ever tried a lip primer before but after trying this product I think that all others are shadowed in what it does. Not only does it smooth out your lips but it also fills in those little lines that I'm sure everyone knows what I am talking about. It was also a really big help in keeping any lipstick/gloss that I put on my lips after I put this product on. This product will be a part of my collection for years to come and I have already recommended it to several of my friends and family members.
The second product that I received was the Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick Color and the color I received was Mystic Plum. Now as seen from the picture that I have provided at the beginning of this blog, this lipstick is very true to color and has an excellent pigmentation. I have never been one to wear such bold colors as I feel that they clash with my skin-tone but this one didn't seem to clash as well and I got many compliments on it. When I told them where the lipstick came from, many of them were shocked as it was such a bold color and since many were around my age they had always thought of Mary Kay as a company that tends to be for the older woman. Not that there is nothing wrong with that but it turns out that some women around my age tend to still think so. But after they saw the nice bold color of the Mystic Plum, I have no doubt in my mind that they will soon be ordering some of their own. Not only was the color bold but the lipstick itself went on very smooth and just seemed to melt onto the lips. Now with a bold of color as this, I worried if it would stain my lips but none of that occurred I am happy to report. I have worn this lipstick with the primer and without and neither does it fade as the day progresses and only required me to reapply it once throughout the day when I didn't wear it with the primer. But when I wore it with the primer, I didn't have to reapply it at all! So happy with these two products that I encourage everyone to go out and get one of their own to try!

Until Next Time!
