More L'Oreal Infallible & Review: L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lipcolor


I couldn't help but stop in at my local CVS again to pick up a few more L'Oreal Infallible products last week. This time I got Pro-Matt Foundation in Shell Beige and the Pro-Last Lipcolor in Timeless Rose. I have not tried out the foundation yet but I have heard great reviews so I'm excited to try it out soon.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lipcolor
On the other hand, I couldn't wait to try out the Pro-Last Lipcolor. This lip product is really a 2-in-1 with the lip color on one end and a moisturizing balm on the other end. I picked the Timeless Rose which is a rose color with a little bit of sparkles. I have used similar colored lip glosses, so I knew this would work for me and it did!

To use the product, apply the color to your lips and let it dry for a 2-3 minutes. Then take the balm (white side) and apply it right over the lip color.

I loved how the color applied on my lips and it didn't take long to dry. However, my lips felt pretty tacky and dry. But when I applied the balm over the dried lip color, I felt like I was wearing moisturizing lipstick. Overall, I loved how the product looked on me and the fact that I could eat or drink and not worry about my lip color getting on everything. I also didn't need to reapply the color. The balm, on the other hand, needed to be refreshed as it did wear off and left my lips feeling dry. I have tried this out a few times for short periods. Overall, I liked this lip product but it wasn't my favorite. This would be great for someone who didn't want to touch up lip color several times a day although the balm would need to be touched up to keep lips feeling moisturized. Unlike regular lip products which can usually be wiped away with tissue, you will need to remove this with makeup remover. The product is also cumbersome in your purse if you like the smaller size of lipsticks.

Also, a big downside of this product would be the cost. At my local CVS, this product retailed for $13.99. But remember, coupons are our friends. At the time of my purchase, CVS was having a BOGO 50% off sale. I purchased the lip color along with the foundation, the latter which cost $13.79. I also had a coupon for $4 off a $15 purchase of certain types of cosmetics, $5 in ExtraBucks and $5 in Beauty Club rewards. I ended up paying $6.88 plus tax for a total of $7.36 out of pocket! I also accumulated an additional $10 in ExtraBucks to use the next time. In a future blog, I will go in-depth on these programs offered by CVS and how you can also save money.

I also wanted to mention that CVS does guarantee their cosmetics 100% meaning if you don't like something, you can take it back. I have only done this on one occasion because the item I purchased was broken.

I plan on reviewing the foundation in future blog. Let me know if you like these kinds of long-wearing products and which work for you!

* I was not paid for this review; all products were purchased by me.

More Life: Getting Back On Track

It's been awhile since I've written anything here. I love to write but am not very good about keeping up with it. I have a few posts that I've been working on that I'd like to get up soon. One of them is about my weight-loss/health journey story. May not be interesting to anyone but me. The reason I'd like to get it up is to have a record of it somewhere. If I was cognizant, I would have kept better records of where I started and where I am today. There are a few things I do remember and things I currently do and other things. Those will be up in a post or two soon. Other posts I'd like to write are reviews of things I've been loving lately, food posts, healthy lifestyle posts, etc. I really do need to exercise my writing skills. Hope anyone who reads this is having a good summer. See y'all soon!

Why?

I've been thinking for awhile to get back into blogging even though it doesn't seem like a popular platform anymore with the rise in vlogging (video blogging). But I've never been one to be in front of a camera and opted instead to become a newspaper journalist right out of college. I've also taught high school and college as well as worked my way up but never completed my master's degree in communication studies. Instead I took the path of marriage and motherhood. I've blogged briefly in the past during the pregnancies of both of my sons but gave that up when life took over as it usually does. But now I've got a little time on my hands and decided to head in another direction. I'm a mid-40s (midlife crisis mode) wife and mother and more! This will be more of a lifestyle blog with entries of just about everything and anything (home, cooking, kids, beauty, travel, etc). So here I begin and away we go....

Product Reviews: Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray (Influenster Target VoxBox)

Occasionally, if I'm lucky, I will receive a box from Influenster . If I'm super lucky, I will get a box with a variety of items. If you don't know what Influenster is, it is a website where you can learn about products and even get a few for free to try out and submit a review. There are also other activities you do to earn more free products to review. And who doesn't love something for nothing. You also might get super lucky and receive one of their boxes with a variety of items to try. But I've only been lucky lately from Influenster and received two items from them. One was the Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Dry Spray Antiperspirant  for my husband to try out and the other was Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray for me to review. In this post, I will only be reviewing the Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray since I have used this product. The Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray comes in a cool and simply decorated canister. The fragrance is called "cool essentials.
