Boom Chicka chocolate!

More tasty treats discovered! Boom Chicka Pop really is totally fantastic. I scored their dark chocolaty sea salt popcorn for 44¢ in another holiday markdown at Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS)! ♡ A chocoholics & bargain shoppers dream!  This sweet n salty combo works well.  Good quality chocolate is used, and the bit of salt adds a nice contrast. 

Which flavour of Angie's Holidrizzle is your favourite? 

Until next time,

Chocolate egg nog? Yes please.

I MUST share this indulgent treat with fellow chocoholics & bargain shoppers. I had my eye on President's Choice chocolate egg nog, and luckily, I scored some after the holidays for a mere 25¢!  

It's not just for Christmas, this tastes like a decadent chocolate milk with cinnamon, which you can have at any time. You gotta love holidays markdowns at Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS). Also it's quite tasty mixed with favourites Kahlua or Bailey's for a boozy bevvy. Cheers to the freakin weekend!

Until next time,

Peel off lip tattoo?

Missing from the lineup is Sweet Orange, which I gave to a friend.

A video for a new & different type of lip product, peel off lip stain/lip tattoo, appeared on Facebook and I was intrigued.  
I found a 6 pack (for $6!) of Romantic Bear Long Lasting Lip Colors on Amazon.ca. 
I experimented for awhile with these in order to see how they'd work best. For the most precise application, I use a cotton swab. The next important thing is to keep my mouth open for as long as possible after I apply it, otherwise, the stain won't set, it'll be sticky. It must be dry before I peel it off. Once it's dry, I close my lips tight & press hard so it will all come off on the bottom lip. Most of it does come off, but the bits that remain I rub into my lips, which does stain my finger (so remember to use a cotton swab for an unstained finger).
The 3 darker colours (Cherry Red, Sexy Red, Rose Pink) work better for me than the lighter shades. I mainly use it as a base, then apply lipstick or gloss on top. Even if I don't put on lipstick after it, my lips have colour.
It's good for before you're going out to a restaurant & don't want bare lips, but don't want to leave lipstick stains on cups, cutlery & napkins. It's also nice for wearing at home to have some colour.
For $1 each, this was certainly an affordable and fun purchase!

Until next time,

Tasty lips with e.l.f. Berry Bordeaux and Plumper

Couldn’t wait to get my hands, or should I say lips, on e.l.f.’s Velvet Matte Lipstick  and Primer & Plumper.  I applied the primer, then the lipstick, and finished it off with the plumper. The cinnamony flavour of the plumper is something I like, and I was pleasantly surprised that the lipstick has a slight cinnamon taste too. The strongly pigmented colour goes on well and looks good on my pale complexion. I’ve worn it also without the plumper, for more of a matte look. Some touch up’s were needed after eating. Colour remained at the end of the day, which comes off with makeup remover.



Berry Bordeaux is a perfect autumn colour. Nice to see that the bottom of the lipstick isn’t just the colour being displayed. The bottom of the lipstick tube pops off to reveal a secret lip balm! Kudos to e.l.f. for adding this extra feature!

Overall, even when converted to Canadian dollars, these e.l.f. lip products are a great value.

Until next time,

Kara
