</div>
So I've been using this all natural face serum for about a month now. It's called <a href="http://www.thecrunchymamas.com/shop/face/smelly-face-serum/">Smelly Face Serum</a> by Crunchy Mamas. The lip balm is their <a href="http://www.thecrunchymamas.com/shop/face/lip-balm/">Honey Lemon </a>which smells and tastes super tangy and nice. It fells really moisturizing on the lips and I keep it in my diaper bag! What I like the most about these products is that they're 100% natural. No chemical crap, no fake preservatives, no artificial fragrances, just real stuff. I'm on a journey to ditch the chemical crap in my life and only eat real food and only use real products. It's not something you can do overnight, but this is a step in the right direction!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The serum is a really nice texture and feels like a light oil, not thick and heavy on my face. It takes about 5 drops to moisturize my whole face well. My mum even got to try it! When she put it on she said it smelled really funny. I'm like yea mom it's called Smelly Face Serum for a reason haha. It's the carrot seed essential oil that has that really earthy almost dirt-like smell. But it's ok mom it helps with wrinkles! "Oh gimme some of that then" she said lol!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crunchy Mamas says their serum can help fight against wrinkles, age spots, uv damage, acne, dark circles, fine lines, blotchy skin, blemish scars, t zone problems, large pores, and dull skin.</div>
I definitely noticed an improvement in my combination skin. It's like it evened out my skin type. I don't have that flaky dry skin on my nose and eyebrow area anymore. Seriously it would be dry even minutes after putting on my previous store bought stuff, and always has been honestly. I feel like it made my face look brighter and healthier overall. To be honest, even if it did nothing more than store bought stuff, I'd use it because it's completely natural!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnTL2Hn8Z216XP1YmpquMwIIgL3slzIRCWey6T740Uf47HSR3h-JLPmjret_2yg-zJ-G3KcRin7u9zrNiAXB7QML8yXtXLc_C8A6mgKkyabHfsyhfX4SH3SgzzNbes9maAzAxgDR_kuB4/s1600/IMG_7442.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnTL2Hn8Z216XP1YmpquMwIIgL3slzIRCWey6T740Uf47HSR3h-JLPmjret_2yg-zJ-G3KcRin7u9zrNiAXB7QML8yXtXLc_C8A6mgKkyabHfsyhfX4SH3SgzzNbes9maAzAxgDR_kuB4/s400/IMG_7442.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
I was afraid to use it except before bed because I thought it was going to make my face look oily or be too moisturizing like a typical night time moisturizer. I decided to try it and honestly I feel like it soaks in well in about 5 minutes. This is me about 5 minutes after using the serum. No makeup, bare it all haha! It feels great and doesn't look weird at all.<br />

I love me some Mac lipstick! I got my mum hooked so she had to get some too! She chose Viva Glam 5. It's a gorgeous mauve shimmer.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZDKrVG8CitM4h4moQfA45vpOmfsgf3YX-zM00RXFj36P-e05mkkLaS4nYdY7BSOzbIGPzDWgzBta5uibuQTz1pvDru_3srYezwXpSJ6m_UUWfYDkUgX8jYKgxwhhzaTLk7nh3uoNVTw/s1600/IMG_2599edit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZDKrVG8CitM4h4moQfA45vpOmfsgf3YX-zM00RXFj36P-e05mkkLaS4nYdY7BSOzbIGPzDWgzBta5uibuQTz1pvDru_3srYezwXpSJ6m_UUWfYDkUgX8jYKgxwhhzaTLk7nh3uoNVTw/s400/IMG_2599edit.JPG" width="325" /></a></div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<br />
It's kind of fun to see how different lipstick looks on different people. Ok, well it doesn't look all that different. But it actually did on our lips! It comes across much darker on me. My mom wears it lightly so it's nice and versatile.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And here's MAC Viva Glam V. I really like it on me and I don't even like shimmers. The shimmer is a subtle gold. Love the quality, nice creaminess, and everything I expect in a MAC lipstick.<br />

<br />Thieves Cleaner 1 : Ants 0</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw a trail of ants in the bathroom. I guess it's because it's getting so much warmer lately. My bathroom is pristinely clean because we're selling the house. I sprayed the ants with Thieves Cleaner that my husband made diluted 20:1. I wiped up the icky things and checked a couple times a day. It's been two or three days now and no sign of ants at all!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTLGiZ5aCoRUZdrjonv3HISRhH38QoUvferW_kOboYnqNoKPXBPndwIn-iv_ShngeI7Qji41iotHT0jMEIcDYnNeyQvUKGMC_y6HP75QEtLFjNeF8I6lLyLqrBLyO9rEGgAyUXCXFJYbM/s1600/ThievesBugsWatermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTLGiZ5aCoRUZdrjonv3HISRhH38QoUvferW_kOboYnqNoKPXBPndwIn-iv_ShngeI7Qji41iotHT0jMEIcDYnNeyQvUKGMC_y6HP75QEtLFjNeF8I6lLyLqrBLyO9rEGgAyUXCXFJYbM/s1600/ThievesBugsWatermark.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a><br />I honestly don't kill things, but ants are infesty and that's just not okay. I even leave spiders alone or take them outside. I used to use Windex to kill them on the spot, but they came back within minutes and I don't use chemical cleaners anymore. And honestly what little we have left makes me cough terribly. I can't stand to be on that side of the house, let alone in the same room. It even makes my one year old cough. Thieves cleaner kills 99.96% of germs and has no creepy side effects! I love it, and even my skeptic husband uses it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me know what things you've used Thieves Cleaner for other than simple cleaning!</div>

Noot is much darker than the others, and I never realized how much blue/purple really Kelly really had until I compared her to much more normal grey like Noot. Evvie is lighter than Noot and is supposed to have a slight hint of green, but that is very hard to see for me. Maybe it's just my skin tone, because I have seen loads of green swatches. </div>

So I heard someone say they use coconut oil as makeup remover and it sounded like a good idea! Coconut oil is a 4 on the comedogenic rating list, so it didn't seem like a good idea to use it on my whole face. But around my eyes, the extra moisture sounded like a great idea. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a little comparison video for you guys and came up with a very simple two ingredient recipe. You can choose any essential oils you like for the second ingredient. I chose frankincense because it can help with wrinkles and no eye cream I've ever used has actually helped with that. We'll see how it does with my wrinkles, but it's seriously great at removing makeup. I just made some for my Mother-in-law and I added a little lavender because it's great for skin.</div>

Have you tried making an all natural makeup remover? How did it go? Which essential oils would you add?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My team has this really awesome educational Facebook group about essential oils called Drop Talk. It's a place where you can ask things like "which oil is good for coughs" and "I have lavender but what else can I do with it." I love reading what worked or didn't work for other people too. It's a great resource. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this applies to Drop Talk and really any Facebook group at all. This is a video tutorial I made that shows you how to use the search feature to search the group when you're using an Android smart phone. The Facebook app doesn't have that feature. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A71lT3chmfQ" width="560"></iframe><br />Let me know if this helped you or if you have any other tutorial ideas you'd like to see!</div>

So frankincense is one of my favorite essential oils. I call it the magic oil because it's in my reference book next to practically any ailment. It helps with things like depression, coughing, skin, wrinkles, aging, tumors, healing, headaches, stretch marks, the list goes on and on.</div>

I like to put a drop in my moisturizer after I wash my face. I'm also thinking about making an eye cream or an eye makeup remover with it! I could definitely use a good wrinkle cream.</div>

This testimonial picture really got me. She used a mixture of coconut oil, frankincense and lavender essential oils for two weeks and had great results. The stretch marks are much closer to her skin color and much less noticeable. When I saw it I thought it was awesome, but I kind of thought it was one of those pics you see circulating around that is too good to be true. And then the woman who posted it said "and I know it's real, because this picture is me." I got goosebumps. I know this woman guys, and this is legit. <3 Frankincense rocks.</div>

I love how Young Living does awesome videos like this. This is a short video of where the trees grow and how they distill the oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The harvesting process of the resin from the frankincense trees is unique. They scrape the bark, wait 10 days, scrape, wait, scrape, etc. So meticulous and so worth it.<br />
<br />
I love these videos and I love Young Living Frankincense essential oil. I've personally used it for headaches, boobie cream, stretch marks, calming, anxiety, cough, dry skin, and winkles.<br />
What have you used it for?<br />
If you haven't tried it, what would you use it for?</div>

The food and decor was amazing! Shelly, my husband, and I made it all. We served rice crispy sushi, sea snails (pigs in a blanket), oyster cookies, seashell salad (pasta salad), seaweed casserole (green bean casserole), veggies and dip with a bell pepper octopus on top, and crab dip with a bell pepper crab on top!</div>

So I've been having this pretty serious neck discomfort. It's almost like a cramp in the back of my neck that radiates upwards. It would come and go throughout the day, but showed up again every single day. I tried my recipe for aches away cream on my temples, forehead, and back of my neck. I tried diluted peppermint, and I also pressed frankincense essential oil on the roof of my mouth. I was really discouraged that the oils only helped a little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really needed to just go to the chiropractor and get adjusted, but my schedule made that really difficult. Then it hit me....<b>I was treating the problem (headache) and not the cause (neck cramping)</b>. After I mentioned how I thought a chiropractor would really help, I thought of the legendary chiropractor in a bottle! That's another nickname for the essential oil blend Valor by Young Living.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSM26yrpiCcZEX2GxBW_K1iokPr4DSA9aYz6qYYGZvYW8uab2x_LgV673Ked3oSF5f3_s_OjPGVClF7ENNXMZy_MYQ-jFb6osNQJC2DXli2NDGydMSJ_H97Z_WtTu62MiB_hASvkbv2Q/s1600/VALOR+v1.1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSM26yrpiCcZEX2GxBW_K1iokPr4DSA9aYz6qYYGZvYW8uab2x_LgV673Ked3oSF5f3_s_OjPGVClF7ENNXMZy_MYQ-jFb6osNQJC2DXli2NDGydMSJ_H97Z_WtTu62MiB_hASvkbv2Q/s1600/VALOR+v1.1.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Valor smells delicious and is used for a multitude of things. I've personally tried it for sleep, calming, discomfort, and realignment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4UI2iezNWfCu_tTXxIHwsthkoPgZsFwCFyyHVTQoWRhSSObz-j5lEJZVVE_LJThI3aqYNxXWvyUPQwM-XOO1_HJMt47UJcFtR0C7wZzF57eDLTF5I5ZTlsJOrLcPrFRsgw_7iI3gLow/s1600/HEADACHES+v1.1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4UI2iezNWfCu_tTXxIHwsthkoPgZsFwCFyyHVTQoWRhSSObz-j5lEJZVVE_LJThI3aqYNxXWvyUPQwM-XOO1_HJMt47UJcFtR0C7wZzF57eDLTF5I5ZTlsJOrLcPrFRsgw_7iI3gLow/s1600/HEADACHES+v1.1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
So I put a drop of Valor on my neck one time, in addition to my cream I made with essential oils. It really helped, but it still came back. I applied Valor <b>once a day for three days</b>, and lo and behold it was gone. Seriously. This cramping in my neck that had me wanting to make a doctor's appointment and go to the chiropractor went away. I seriously was skeptical about why they call Valor chiropractor in a bottle because I'm like how can an essential oil actually change the alignment of your spine. But it did. I seriously was begging my husband to come home from work early so I could go to the chiropractor and get realigned...but Valor did it for me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have back issues, neck discomfort, or headaches that you think Valor could help? Have you ever used Valor for anything and how did it go?</div>

I've been looking for recipes I can make with essential oils. It feels like a science experiment and I love it! I made this lemon lavender cake for my first oil class and it was delicious! I used <a href="http://fudgeripple.blogspot.com/2012/07/lemon-lavender-cake.html?m=1">this recipe from Fudge Ripple</a> and changed it up a bit to substitute some essential oils.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn't change much about the recipe, I just simplified it a little. I added the lemon juice and not just the lemon essential oil because I feel like it needed the extra liquid. I really wanted it to be lemony so it definitely needed the essential oils. The two drops of lavender was just enough to give it a faint flavor. I used dried lavender buds to sprinkle over the top but I didn't put them in the batter. It's just for fun so you don't have to do that bit. </span></div>

So I've been doing a lot of research lately. I've been into essential oils for years and making my own diaper cream, stretch mark cream, and all kinds of things. I asked for the Young Living premium starter kit for Christmas and I couldn't wait so I got it sooner haha. A friend asked me if there were any oils that were cheaper than over the counter meds. I was like I have no idea, let me look. This whole time I've been thinking that oils are probably more expensive, but they're natural so I'm totally okay with that. I was wrong guys lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is some of my research. I just picked out a few over the counter drugs that essential oils can be used for instead, then calculated price per dose, and compared them. They can be used for a million other things, but here are just some good comparisons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lemon essential oil can be used for reducing a child's fever (Children's Tylenol), getting mucous and stuff out because it's good for drainage (Mucinex), and for weight loss (Hydroxycut). </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peppermint essential oil can be used to reduce fever and pain (Tylenol), for heartburn (Zantac), and nausea and other belly issues (Tums). Did you know that Tums is actually a category C in pregnancy? Kinda scary.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thieves essential oil blend is a really useful for keeping the sickies away. You can use it when you first feel a cold coming on (Zicam), for cold sores (Abreva), and for oral pain (Oragel). I actually made a diluted coconut oil cream with this for Rowan's gums and it's awesome. Haven't touched Tylenol or Oragel since.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously I didn't know this info before doing some research. Let me know if you want to see more comparisons of oils or over the counter meds. Leave suggestions in the comments!</div>

So my husband said I've been such a good wife lately, he'd let me paint his toes, which I love doing! He picked the color green, but I wanted nail art, so I came up with an awesome idea of something we'd both like!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you don't recognize this, its one of the creatures in Minecraft. We like to play that game together :). It is called a creeper. When you get close to it you can hear it start to go off like a bomb and if you don't run away quick enough it blows up in your face! <br />

So I got a picture and a palette ready and went to town. I sponged his toes with <a href="http://paintingrainbowsblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/china-glaze-electropop-swatches.html">China Glaze Gaga for Green</a>, <a href="http://paintingrainbowsblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/zoya-true-collection-swatches.html">Zoya Bevin</a>, OPI Stranger Tides, and Julep Selena.

Emma Green Tregaro, a Swedish Olympic athlete, painted her nails rainbow colors for the Olympics. Apparently many Olympic athletes are painting their nails in rainbow colors to protest against Russia's "no gay propaganda" law. </div>

Here are her nails up close, which she posted on instagram. </div>

<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">Here are her thoughts on the subject and her nails, </span><a href="http://rt.com/news/gay-rights-rainbow-nails-639/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">from a different article</a><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">:</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">Tregaro, who placed fifth at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, said she was “<i>surprised by the big reaction</i>” but happy because it has “<i>mostly been very positive,</i>” reported AP.<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">She added that “</span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">it was harder to notm paint [the fingernails] in the rainbow than it was to choose to paint them</i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">.”</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">Talking to Swedish media, the high jumper explained that in her view, “</span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">love for another person is the most beautiful thing in the world, and that's what I want to show, no matter the gender or whatever</i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">.” However, after Swedish athletics officials asked her to “</span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">please respect the rules</i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">” and change the color of her nails, Green Tregaro decided “</span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">to paint them red instead, for love</i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">I find this pretty interesting. It isn't just nail bloggers and polish enthusiasts painting their nails for a cause. Even Olympic athletes risk their participation to make a statement that supports equality and love. I'm really moved by their effort and appalled by Russia's new law. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.4em;">What do you think about this?</span></div>

It's made with banana, almonds, oatmeal, vanilla, and more. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Oatifix/06097,en_US,pd.html?start=4&cgid=fresh-face-masks">They are $6.95 </a>and the lady told me they last for 3 weeks in the fridge and you get about 3 face masks from them. I only needed a little for this mask (above pic), and I got about 5 masks from it. It lasted longer than 3 weeks for sure. Maybe the potency of the ingredients fades or something?<br />

Bare it all lol!! The mask felt nice and cool going on, soothing. I left it on for about 13 minutes (recommended 10). It tingled maybe like 10% and still does a good hour later. I have really sensitive skin and it definitely isn't painful or irritating. I have combination skin (dry and oily in different places) and am acne prone, but I also wanted one with a little exfoliation, so they recommended this one. I think the exfoliation comes from the ground almond and oatmeal and it's very light and gentle.</div>

Here is a close up so you can see the texture of the mask. I really wasn't sure how much to put on so I just went with it. I definitely felt the creaminess all over my face even though it doesn't look like it's all over. And it smells just like banana nut bread mmmm!!!<br />
<br />
I really like this mask! My skin felt perfectly balanced and moisturized and my skin looked a little brighter and more evenly toned. No more flaky dry patches either! I didn't even need to moisturize, I just toned after. Lets see how long this lasts and if it helps my break outs!<br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNLHbD48AMYvzDs3sRthnwouw0ZCDxyIJR08M0Av8yRR0VmLZsjdXeZjYgcAo6K0r7VkFdJR5iBAba-UfXw-miUv4hILQZFaidFwuBSE9elTil07hTl5XCMJun_s2qKioBzDlDDLjX14/s1600/Collages4.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNLHbD48AMYvzDs3sRthnwouw0ZCDxyIJR08M0Av8yRR0VmLZsjdXeZjYgcAo6K0r7VkFdJR5iBAba-UfXw-miUv4hILQZFaidFwuBSE9elTil07hTl5XCMJun_s2qKioBzDlDDLjX14/s400/Collages4.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />Tenda is a super bright creamy green with copper glassflecks. The coloring/brightness on both the pictures looks weird, but I didn't edit them. It shows that the shimmer appears more in the shade, and how bright the green can get with more light. This was two coats and the formula was nice.<br /></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig5ZUaYOQO_GGeW9UNmFjZFXC-OgrBWlhAMmRlN5FQyPspDM7VnvOI9bqWsTDvVhbQCVAzAtAlFN_Ijal0esmB6Gt7LlWlKPMdDml-x7ZTm-060D4hyWmvdfyiUefFvIS94z1iIrqwtKo/s1600/Collages3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig5ZUaYOQO_GGeW9UNmFjZFXC-OgrBWlhAMmRlN5FQyPspDM7VnvOI9bqWsTDvVhbQCVAzAtAlFN_Ijal0esmB6Gt7LlWlKPMdDml-x7ZTm-060D4hyWmvdfyiUefFvIS94z1iIrqwtKo/s400/Collages3.jpg" /></a> <br />Schrammi is a super cute tomato red with a touch of red coral and it has copper glassflecks and gold shimmer. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVls3NlDfQCA9daid0JVS_RVhhUnnpS2NVtu5sK3U3moEWg43USQjX-sCrUKKG0Kh2On9A4iZsjQx6lCrLf6XdvuY9n1QtH53IfiEMVjxN0DLXjt23CSu52uwvRqWD9oz-uADFAdMSIk/s1600/Collages2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVls3NlDfQCA9daid0JVS_RVhhUnnpS2NVtu5sK3U3moEWg43USQjX-sCrUKKG0Kh2On9A4iZsjQx6lCrLf6XdvuY9n1QtH53IfiEMVjxN0DLXjt23CSu52uwvRqWD9oz-uADFAdMSIk/s400/Collages2.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />Costa del Sol is a gold glitter mix in a clear topcoat. It has large/medium/small holo hexes, glassflecks, and gold bars. This was one coat. The formula was good, but some of the bars curl a little. I suggest painting on Costa del Sol, letting it dry, trimming any curling glitter with cuticle nippers, then applying a thick top coat. It really wasn't that bad. </div>

Amy is a red orange with gold glassflecks. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
All of these swatches were two coats and the formulas were great! My fav is probably Tinsley. Rikki is a little done with Ivanka and Logan, but it's pretty. I'm not big on yellows like Kerry, so I prefer a more metal toned yellow like Ziv. The finish on these is what really makes them stand out - those little metallic glassflecks.</div>

Yana is a gorgeous fuchsia leaning a bit more red. The shade is just done so well! Go ahead! Compare it to your other similar pinks and I have a feeling this will win out.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

Thandie is a creamy orange leaning a bit coral with silver shimmer. It's such a unique shade of orange and really does pick up coral tones throughout the day.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

Rocky is a bright sky blue creme. Not very unique, but pretty! Sorry about the red fingers. Yana stained my skin a bit :/.<br />
<br />
All of these formulas were good as usual. I only had issues with one or two because I kept bumping my nails when they were wet lol! So if you see anything that looks weird, that's why. These were all two coats, except the usual three coat yellow. My favorites are Thandie and Yana!<br />

It's like a body cream made with shea butter, and it has jojoba beads and sugar in it for exfoliation. I tried Midnight Violet and Cucumber Melon scents. I'm not big on floral scents, but I know she'll make a bunch more scents if these go well.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

I tried this on my elbows, knees, hands, and even my face! It isn't super scrubby for rough spots like knees and elbows, but works great for more sensitive areas with lighter dry skin like your hands and face. I would love to see her add a natural cleansing agent to this formula and make it into a face wash! It is a tiny bit drying, but you should put on lotion soon after washing your face in any case.<br />

It also has shimmer.<br />
<br />
The pigment of the lippies was...okay. Cin Cin showed up nicely, but Tannin wasn't very intense. The most annoying part was the application/formula. They were just really patchy and wouldn't go on evenly. I felt like they highlighted the imperfections of my lips rather than went on smoothly to make my lips more beautiful. You can see this more in the up close pictures, but in person they were even worse. The gloss, however, was great! No issues there at all.<br />I was so disappointing I actually returned the set. I wish I could have kept the gloss! I would never buy Bite Beauty lipstick again!<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your experience with Bite Beauty lippies. Anyone? Feel free to post your links to blog posts about Bite Beauty lippies. </div>

Lemondrops is a super bright yellow creme. This was 3 coats and it was still a bit patchy. I'm just not a yellow fan honestly! It also was super hard to get off of my cuticles! And my nails are still stained from this a week later...</div>

Sweet Addiction is a teal creme with a hint of silver shimmer. It's quite hidden and I didn't really notice it in person. I do love these teal shades though! This was two coats.</div>

Blue Capri is a super intense cobalt blue creme that reminds me of Nails Inc Baker Street! This was two coats.<br />
<br />
Overall this collection had good formulas except the yellow, but I pretty much always have trouble with yellows. The color selections really weren't very exciting though. I'm usually not a creme fan! </div>
