Treat Beauty | Marshmallow Cream Jumbo Lip Scrub (Review)

 Product summary:

Treat beauty's marshmallow cream jumbo lip scrub exfoliates lips smooth, prepping them for your favourite lip color or balm. A blend of exfoliating fair trade sugar and moisturizing coconut oil, this lip scrub is sure to leave your lips enticingly soft and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time. It's really easy to use, just smooth it on like you would a lip balm and let the pure sugarcane smooth away all the roughness. Costs around $13.99. 

I ended up receiving this item in a Ipsy glam bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 20$ Canadian. Click here to check them out.

***Cruelty free ❤***

I love the concept of a lip scrub in a tube/lipstick format since it avoids bacteria being introduced in comparison to regular lip scrubs where you dig your fingers into the product. No matter how well I wash my hands I still don't like the idea of digging my fingers into product. That is essentially a breeding ground for bacteria. While the packaging is great the actual the product itself leaves a lot to be desired. 

Whether I apply the lip scrub directly to my lips or pre-apply a lip balm, the lip scrub is still very abrasive and almost hurts my lips with how rough it is. My lips actually ache after I use this product. I don't know if I have sensitive lips but I've never experienced this before. And the worst part is that it doesn't exfoliate and remove all of the dry skin! It'll get rid of large chunks of dry skin but yet I'm still left with sensitive chapped lips. 

Rating:

I am going to give this lip scrub 1 star on 5. I had high hopes and I really wanted to like this scrub but man it's too rough on my lips. It's almost rubbing my lips raw and it still doesn't exfoliate away all the dry skin. I wouldn't recommend this to someone with sensitive lips like I do or else you'll be in a world of hurt. I'm happy that I received this in my Ipsy bag and didn't actually dish out $13.99 because I didn't like this lip scrub at all.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
