MAC Locked Kiss Ink

I recieved MAC Locked Kiss Ink in Bodacious from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review. The lip color is a warm medium peach with a matte finish. It is lightweight and easy to spread. The lip color comes with ultra refined pigments that do provide buildable color.

The formula comes nutrient packed with passion fruit oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. The color says it lasts 24 hours. I did find myself reapplying before 24 hours as the color faded some. The lip ink is kiss proof. I can attest to that.

If you want a lighter shade only apply once and let the lip ink dry. However, I applied a couple of times, letting the lip ink dry between each application. It is a beautiful shade and is my new favorite nude.

No7 Matte Blush

No7, which is know for its skincare also has makeup. I was kindly gifted the matte blush in the color peaches from No7 and Bzzagent. I was excited to try the matte blush because I have never tried their makeup.

The blush is enriched with vitamin E to condition your skin throughout wear. It is a powder not cream blush. The blush is highly pigmented so you only need a small amount.

The peach is a beautiful pinkish peach. The packaging is basic, but right off the bat you can see the beautiful color. Apply the blush in small circular motions. You can always build upon the color.

Compared to other drugstore brands this blush ranks highly. It is a good option to have in rotation. Do you use drugstore brand or prestige cosmetics? Maybe a mixture of both? Let me know in the comments along with some of your favorite brands.

Not Your Mothers Curl Talk

I was kindly gifted Not Your Mothers Curl Talk bond building shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask. I was excited to try because I have curly thick hair. I do get Brazillian blowouts every three to four months, but my hair still has a curl until styled. What I like most about this product is that it is silicone and sulfate free. The product is at a good price point and is easily accesible. You can buy these at your local Target, drugstore, or even Amazon.

Let us go over my experience using the products. I first began with the shampoo. I loved the way it lathered up. While, it did lather well, I found myself using a large amount to cover my hair. The smell was not unpleasant and very faint. This would be good for someone sensitive to fragrance. I did expect my hair to feel a bit more hydrated afterwards. Last but not least, after fully cleansing and rinsing my hair, I applied the hair mask. I let it sit for about five minutes before rinsing. This was more hydrating than the conditioner.

My final take, is that the product is a good option for someone that wants a curly hair friendly product. You may find yourself using up the product earlier than most if your hair is super thick. However, at the reasonable price point it would likely be worth it.

Currently, I am using a salon brand product which I feel is not a fair comparison. I would see myself purchasing the bond building hair mask again. This is a good option for many and clearly curly girl friendly.

Libre by Yves Saint Laurent

Libre by Yves Saint Laurent is a sultry, feminine fragrance. The scent is a combination of citrus and musky notes. To obtain this glorious scent, is a fusion of lavender essence from France and Morrocan orange blossom for a sensual touch.

The floral notes combined with a hint of musk, create a daring feminine fragrance. Libre smells very pleasant and lasts all day. Apply the fragrance lightly. The scent quickly calms down and melds with your skin for a pleasant sultry scent that lasts all day.

I tried this fragrance as it was one of the many samples that, Macys sent me to review. My husband gifted me the YSL Libre gift set after falling in love with this fragrance. You can find this set currently as of November 2022 at Sephora, Macys, and Ulta.
