Nine West and New Balance Walking Billboards

Nine West and New Balance have paired together to create fashionable sneakers for your pair. I really liked two of the pairs, but then noticed the blatant branding on the back - "Nine West for New Balance." Really? I don't need my shoes to serve as walking a billboard, literally.

Product Review - Sarah Happ Lip Slip

As you are aware from my previous post, I was so excited to order and receive Sarah Happ's Lip Slip . I'm the girl that has lip gloss, chap stick and tubs of Vaseline EVERYWHERE in case my lips need a motorization moment.
When Sarah came along and touted "leaves no color, just the richest, glossiest hydration imaginable" for my pout, I was sold, even at $24.00. I've had my Lip Slip for a little over a week now and the overall verdict - I like it, verging on loving it.

Here are my thoughts:
  • It truly stays on for a long time. Longer than most glosses or even my trusty Vaseline. I can eat and drink without having to immediately reapply

  • It really doesn't have a color and my lips look insanely glossy. Overtime, the glossiness wears off, but the moisturization stays (even after drinking something)

  • It doesn't have an overwhelming smell. It smells good, but it's not the first thing you notice

  • A dab'l do ya. A little goes a long way and since it stays on so long, it really goes a long way

  • The packaging it came was amazing (yes, I judge a book by its cover). A Tiffany-esqe gold box and ribbon. I can't seem to ditch the box, so I still carry the jar around in the box. Might be time to cut that cord ...

  • One downside - it is a tad bit sticky. Not too sticky that I don't want to stop wearing it, but I definitely notice it upon first application but overtime it wears off

All in all - I'm sold. LOVE the Sarah Happ Lip Slip, definitely worth the $24.00. I think my next purchase is going to be her lip scrub, the question which variant? I'm thinking Peppermint. Loving beauty products is tough.
