First Impressions

This is a new idea of mine.  Let me know what you think about these kinds of blog posts. I do not own any of the products I am going to talk about. I will talk about exactly what I first thought about the product.

 The first one would have to be Tokidoki's Gelato Lip Balm Stains. I have tried 3 out of the 4 stains. When I first saw this product I didn't think much of it. I thought it wasn't going to be something worth buying. Let me add that this retails for $9 each. They come in 4 shades, Ciao Ciao (clear), Donutella (sheer coral strawberry), Pink Martini (sheer hot pink), and Skeletrina (sheer grape). I have tried all of them except the clear one. My co-worker was the one to insist to try it, I first tried Skeletrina. It glided on like a regular lip balm, if you apply one coat it's a very sheer subtle color. But if you apply more than one coat, the color builds up which I really like. Lately, my lips have been super chapped so I haven't been wearing lipstick since I'm scared it's just going to dry out my lips even more and I can't stand it when my lips are chapped. It gives my lips just enough moisture. And to be surprised, it actually does stain your lips! Not for long...I would say the color lasts for about 3-4 hours. My favorite out of the 4 shades would be Donutella, it's a very pretty color! Perfect for summer time! And for only $9...I think I'll just have to buy all of them except the clear one. If you're near a Sephora definitely check out one of these lip balms (don't forget to ask an employee to sanitize the product for you...nothing is more disgusting than gliding another person germs on your lips...yuucckk!)

Here's another Tokidoki product, Devi Girl Cromatico Palette. This just recently came out. I was expecting a little more from Tokidoki since their e/s are super pigmented and bright! I love the 3 neutral colors on the left, I thought I was going to love the whole palette since the purple and the blue look amazing in the set. But I swatched the 3 e/s on the right (without a base) and they were not pigmented as the neutrals. I'll have to double check how they go on with a base. This product retails for $28, and in my opinion, I would probably pass. I could live without this, since I already have the Naked palette by Urban Decay I don't think I need anymore neutral e/s for awhile. If the purple and teal e/s were a bit more pigmented I'd be sold! And for the little plastic tote it comes with...to be honest I can careless about it. Just my opinion.

The last product would be Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh perfume. When I first smelled this...I literally fell in love! This retails for $70 for a 2.5 oz and $85 for a 4.25 oz. If you like that soft clean, but floral smell, you'll probably like this scent. You literally need only 2-3 sprits, the smell really clings onto you. I usually spray myself twice, around the neck area right before I start work and by the time I hit the sheets, I can still smell the scent lingering. I will definitely be purchasing this in the near future!

Hope you guys enjoyed! Don't forget to subscribe! :)
