Rocky Mountain Soap Lip Butter






So sorry I haven't updated this blog in such a long time! But I'm back at it with a review on the Rocky Mountain Soap Company Lip Butter! I own the flavour Summer Lemonade:

This lip balm is made from all natural ingredients, which are listed on the official webpage. I love the scent, as it is quite lemony and very delicious!

The packaging is simple and clean. I have had problems, however, with the cap coming off in my purse. I usually carry these in a plastic bag or in a smaller pocket of my purse.

This is a great lip butter, as it moisturizes my lips quite well and lasts for a considerable amount of time. Since the consistency is rather waxy, it doesn't glide onto my lips smoothly. Rather, I have to run it over my lips back and forth till it softens up. However, that is really the only detractor. I recommend trying out all the flavours of this lip butter!.

Also comes in: Green Apple, Peppermint, Berry, Apricot, and Coconut.

Top 5 Eyeshadows for February


This post is one day late, unfortunately. I wanted to post it the last day of February, but I was too busy watching the Olympics!

I love switching up eyeshadows every week. Over the month of February, I was into the purples/pinks for Valentine's Day, but I still enjoyed other colours as well. My top 5 fav eyeshadows are:

Annabelle trio in Rosewood - This is a gorgeous trio, with a matte baby pink, a shimmery dusty light pink, and a plummy-brown shade. All three shadows create a really love look, perfect to wear on a date or going out.

Maybelline quad in Enchanted Forest - I love a shimmery gold-green eye look, and this quad provides just that. Consisting of a light antique gold, an olive green, a shimmery champagne, and a dark brown, this is a gorgeous quad for all occasions. I love mixing up various combos of these four shades to create a variety of looks.

Maybelline quad in Enchanted Forest - I don't have many dark purples, and there is a gorgeous dark purple in this quad that I love. I like wearing this for a purple smokey eye.

Annabelle trio in Haute Chocolate - Of course, I love my browns as well. This trio is made up of a light beige, a medium taupe brown, and a rich, dark brown. This makes a great smokey brown eye, but can be toned down for daytime as well.

L'Oreal Hip duo in Sculpted - A shimmery medium pink with reddish undertones, and a deep blackened plum shade with pink sparkles. I love the plum shade, it's perfect for deepening up any look, and also makes a great liner. While I don't use the pink as much, it looks great as a pop of color on the outer corners of my eye.

So, those were my February favorites. I hope you enjoyed reading about them!
