Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer Review

     I bought the Rimmel Lip Lacquer from their new Show Off line in the color Nude Eclipse. Let me tell you that I originally wanted a nice neutral shade to go with the colorful eye shadow I usually wear. HOLY CRAP!!! Wanna talk about neutral, it was like wearing foundation or concealer as a lip gloss. It was horrible. I love the packaging but I really pray for testers in drugstores that carry Rimmel. I usually love all their products but these smell like burnt plastic and chemicals and dry out my lips. I went back to return the atrocious color and exchanged for a new one but still can't get past the smell. They also dry out my lips, even with a lip balm underneath. Please let me know if you have tried these and what your experience was.

Organic & Natural, Does it even exist anymore?

     How many of you read the labels of your makeup? Do you stand in the store and make sure certain chemicals are not present before you buy? More and more people are reading the labels of everything before they buy. It was one thing years ago to make sure your makeup was not tested on animals but today the concern is much worse. With all the GMO's and chemicals hidden in the things we eat, touch, breath, and put on our faces or in our hair it is a wonder we buy anything anymore. What is the one thing you look for when you buy?
     I know since the knowledge about GMO's have surfaced, I am very careful what I bring into my home and subject my family to. I make my own laundry detergent, buy from local growers, and stay away from anything that may be related to genetically modified organisms. It is not just trying to make crops bigger and produce more food, now it is straight poison. Chicken nuggets from McDonald's have been found to contain silicone and anything with grain or corn syrup is as high risk as a bungee jumping or race car driving. Actually it is even more so lately with the cancer rates and the proven infertility issues occurring in people and labs. The only thing I can ask people is to do your research before you buy. I try to promote organic makeup as well as foods. It is pretty sick what we trust our FDA and government with when it comes to our safety. Look what they do with it. Monsanto won't even serve it's own food in their cafeterias but expect us to eat it. Research people. Fight the good fight and stand up for your rights.

Makeup

Hey everyone!!!

     I know it's been a long time since I have been online. I do apologize but I have been dealing with some family issues lately but all is well now. I have a new venture I would like to get into and that is makeup. I am hoping soon to be able to review makeup I have collected and show you all the finished products of my ideas. If this sounds like something you would like to see just let me know in the comments section. I would love to hear your ideas as well.

     Also I wanted to fill everyone in on a little steal I picked up a few days ago and it is still going on right now. I visited CVS Pharmacy and was able to purchase a bag of cotton balls, 2 Revlon lipglosses, 1 Revlon Blush Pallette, and 1 Revlon Eyeshadow Pallette all for under twenty dollars and I saved over $34. All of these makeup pieces were all 75% off. Run to your nearest CVS and hunt down those little orange stickers ladies. Make sure you are a rewards member as well because et me tell ya, I also recieved a $4 off $20 purchase for next time. There is no better deal than this especially when you can't purchase these items for this cheap, EVER!!

     Please leave comments for any feedback you may have and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
