Bonnie Bell Lip Definer:  This brand has been around for a very long time.  I remember when I was much younger and we used to buy the lip glosses by Bonnie Bell.  They still sell these too.  You don't see this brand around as much.  My local Meijer's does carry Bonnie Bell products.  This liner is in Warm Brick.  It is a hard pencil, not very soft at all.  It would be great to line the lips or use as an all over color and then add a gloss or lipstick over the top so you get maximum wear from it.  Liners help keep your lipstick from bleeding and feathering.  This one is alright.  Nothing special about it at all.

Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer:  I like using these kinds of products in the summer when I am wearing shorts and skirts.  This helps to even out the skin and adds a nice glow.  I usually use this same type of product from AVON called Skin So Soft Satin Glow which has been out for a few years.  I will try the Jergens' version to see if I like it just as much.  It is still off an on cool and warm here in Ohio.  I waiting for a constant warm streak to break out the shorts and sandals.  I will report back to tell you how I like this product.

BLUM Naturals All Purpose Cleansing Wipes:  The packaging for this product is just adorable.  It looks like a mini disinfectant wipe container.  It has a chain so that you can put it on your backpack or travel bag.  Very convenient.  They are great for fixing makeup mistakes, removing makeup and any other small cleaning task.  Since they are so small, they tend to "ball up" on you when you try to use them to cleanse your face.   They also can shred and tear.  You can see that I am pulling on them in both directions.  The shorter direction, they can start to fall apart but the longer direction they are quite strong.  

I like these for cute packaging and the convenience they bring to my life.

NICKA K New York Lipstick : Begonia  This lipstick is very vibrant and lovely in the tube.  It is a redish/orange, copper/gold color.  When I apply this on my lips, the copper comes out making it a bit too chromy for my taste.  It is a warm color, but if it had been, maybe, a bit more cool, it may have fit my skin tone, but with the warmth, it does not do a thing for me.  It is way to bright for me.

BH Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio:  I like this little trio.  They are great to keep in your bag or desk or take in an overnight bag.  The pigment is great and they go one smooth.  The packaging in cardboard, but there is a magnet  in side that keeps it closed.  What a great idea.  Who wants to have eyeshadow open and end up all over the place? Not me,for sure.  I may look into purchasing some other colors from this line.
