Burt's Bees Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion Review!!!

Hey everyone!!!

So today I'm going to be reviewing the Burt's Bees Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion. Holy bananas, that is a mouthful!

I got this in a gift set last year from one of my best friends. It also came with cuticle butter and a lip balm, which I lost. Bravo.

I've mentioned before in past blogs that I don't have extremely dry skin. The only part that ever really gets dry is my legs, and that's only in the winter if I'm dry shaving them. Otherwise I'm good.

Also, I find it extremely weird to use lotion on any body part that isn't your legs. 

I used to religiously use a body wash in the same scent but from a different brand, so I was like 'Hey, I'm going to enjoy this and have memories. Of me in the shower...' and then I felt really creepy.

But that's fine.

So the first thing I want to comment on is the packaging.

It's obviously a squeeze tube, full of lotion. 

I prefer lotions in bottles with pumps, just because it's easier in my opinion to get product out, especially when your hands are greasy from said lotion.

But nonetheless, I gave this a try.

I was going to put some on my hand so you could see the colour, but I have pants on so I didn't wanna waste the lotion. And plus you can see from this odd picture that it's a creamy... Cream colour. 

Which makes sense I guess because if you mix honey and milk, you basically will get this colour.

The scent. 

I cannot handle the scent.

I mentioned before I had used a body wash with the same scent, but honestly, I couldn't smell it after I rinsed it off. And they smell completely different anyways.

This is one of those lotions that the scent actually lingers and is with your all day.

And today when I used it, I wore a dress, so because I didn't have my pants shield, I could smell it and it was annoying.

But the actual product, is pretty nice.

I've mentioned millions of times my legs are not dry. They're normal.

But when I put this lotion on my legs and rub it in, I can feel an intense difference. My legs are 10x smoother and softer and I just want to rub them forever.

But the lotion is greasy for the first half hour or so, I found. So I kind of have to wait, and I have to wait to put on my work pants in the morning too. 

And the scent gets all over my hand, but hands are easy enough to wash.

So I'm really iffy about this.

The scent is weird and I hate it, and I can't handle the greasyness.

But the payoff is just really nice.

So with that all being said, I'm going to rate this lotion a 6/10.

I can actually see myself buying maybe not this exact lotion, but one in another scent just because of how it makes my legs feel.

But because of the scent and the greasyness, it doesn't get anymore points from me.

I really want to find a lotion I like, but I guess this isn't it.

Ipsy Glambag: November 2013!!!

Hey everyone!!!

Today I got my Ipsy package, and I was so excited!

Last month I received it really late, so I thought I would this time too, but I got it three days after they told me everything shipped!

Here is a horrible overview of everything I got!

They actually sent out an extra this month for everyone, which was a full sized product from Michelle Phan's new line, EM!

I'm not going to lie, when I saw what I was getting this month, I was a little bummed because I thought it was all going to be weird and just something about it all made me feel iffy.

My feelings have definitely changed though!

Starting off with the bag, I think it's really cute. I don't typically like gold, but I enjoy it with the pink.

I've mentioned before that I never use makeup bags because I just don't. I'll probably be giving this one away in the future though, so watch for that.

First thing I got is this Starlooks Gem Eyeliner in Amethyst.

I hate getting eyeliners, just because I can never take a decent picture of them. But other than that, I love them.

This is the third Starlooks product I've gotten in my Ipsy lifespan, and I'm pretty excited to use it more!

I didn't swatch it because I didn't even open them, but I tried it after I took pictures (swatches will come in the reviews) and it's a pretty purple colour. And really shimmery.

Starlooks is an amazing brand in my opinion, so I'm sure this will be fantastic!

Next up, they sent me this mineral eyeshadow by Cailyn in the shade Champagne.

It's funny because this morning when I was getting ready, I was actually thinking 'I really wish I had a nice champagne colour.' and then this came not even an hour later.

MAGIC.

I opened this though because I was a little unsure on how it worked because it said it had a sponge applicator, and it's weird. I didn't take a picture because it's kinda messy, but I really like it and I'll be sure to review it soon.

They also decided to carry on with the champagne colour, and send me a Nailtini nail polish in Champagne.

They sent me one in my first bag and I wasn't thrilled about the colour, because I don't like oranges on my nails.

But this just looks really pretty, and I plan on redoing my nails asap with this.

I don't know how pigmented these are, but we'll find out.

This bad boy is probably the thing I was most excited for.

It's the Be a Bombshell lip crayon in HOT DAMN.

First off, the name is perfect. And second, the colour.

Ipsy just knows me so well!

This month I've been wearing red lips almost every day, so this is just feeding my addiction. Which might be a bad thing, but I'm fine with it.

This is my second Pixi item I've received in an Ipsy bag. The first being a mascara, which I loved. But bronzer, I'm a little picky with them.

Okay very picky.

My skin is extremely pale, and bronzers are usually way to harsh.

They also happened to send me the darkest colour, called Summertime. Which is really just rude, because we've already had it snow so many times where I live.

But I'll try it, and maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it'll be the perfect colour for me.

And last, but certainly not least, is the lip balm from Michelle Phan's new makeup line, em.

I mentioned at the beginning of the post that everyone this month received a full sized em product. There was either a mascara, eyeliner or the lip balm.

I was okay with any of them. And I actually thought I was going to be getting this bright fire red lip balm, and was so amped up.

And then I got Vanilla which is this really light pink colour so I'm kinda mad.

Another thing is, with these lip balms, I hate dipping my fingers in them because I find it gross and just annoying.

But I love the packaging, the lid is a dome.

Overall, I'm actually really pleased with my ipsy bag this month. It's really cute, and everything in it shows a lot of promise!

Bath & Body Works: Mint Chocolate Candle Review!!!

Hey everyone!!!

I'm actually reviewing something that's a little bit out of my element today; a candle.

But this isn't just any candle. Oh no. It's a three wick Bath & Body Works candle! I actually have never used one before, as we never had the store in my city. But we recently got one, and I got two candles when they had their 2 for $20 sale!

And obviously, I got the Mint Chocolate scent! 

I'm actually a big fan of mint chocolate in general, and the smell was so perfect, I knew I had to get it. And plus the colour. I'm in love with pastels, so I snatched two up!

I didn't think of taking a picture of it either when it was unlit, so my bad! But you can kinda tell the colour.

I didn't even realize the scent until after I looked at the little picture on the front.

I googled this too, to see if maybe I could find an image of an unlit one, but to no avail. But I did notice that the picture design changes every year, so I'm assuming this is a product that comes out every year.

(Told you I'm a noob when it comes to candles)

But anyways!

I really enjoyed the scent in the store, and kept smelling it the entire drive home. And until I finally lit it.

:|

It's a weird candle to me. When it's burning, it smells minty and chocolatey. But at the same time, I was left questioning "What on earth is that smell oh my god why does my room smell like that what did I eat?!"

And of course I bought two. But I used one up and I'm currently on my second. I suck at burning candles cause I always forget I have them. They're literally just decoration to me.

I don't even know with this picture but hey, you can see my pajama pants because I hate real pants.

But I thought I would include the picture anyways.

I've heard multiple times, and i'm pretty sure it would say on the candle that these have 40 hours of burning power in them, or something along those lines. But I actually can't even agree with that, because well, I don't sit on my phone or stare at a clock whenever I burn these.

The scent is pretty strong though!

It's really cold right now (today is a horrible example as I'm currently blinded by the sun) so I haven't been able to open my windows.

And I have a dog that likes to shed on everything and rub against random things, so I have to leave my bedroom door closed so I don't have pet hair all over. And those two things together can leave my room smelling not so fresh.

But I burnt one of these bad boys for a few hours the other day before work, and it smelled like mint chocolate after and for the rest of the day!!

Again, I'm really iffy about the smell. It's kind of a love hate relationship basically.

But I'm really wanting to try out some more of the Bath & Body Works candles, so if you guys have a favourite scent, let me know so I can try it out!!!

One of the things I really enjoy about these candles, is that when it's burning and I wanna put it out, I can just put the lid on it and it'll go out instantly! I really suck at blowing (wow don't even take that dirty you perverts) so this is awesome.

Overall; I would rate this a 6/10.

For the most part, I did like the scent. And the candle itself was cute.

And I like that I can just put the lid on it and it'll go out.

But again, there was the odd time I didn't like the scent. It was just weird smelling, and that really bothered me. 

And can we talk about the price for a second? $20 for a freaking candle. (They're not that bad when they're on sale but normally they're $20)

October Favourites 2013!!!

Hey everyone!!!

I'm a little late this month, but I'm back with my October favourites!!!

I'm really excited to be sharing these products with you guys!

So let's just jump right into it because I can't wait!

So here's an overview of everything. :3 I think two might have been featured in a previous post, but that's fine.

So this really doesn't have any order, at all!

But this has definitely been my favourite cover up for the month. I've already ordered another one since I'm starting to run out.

But I already did a full review on it here if you want to read that.

But I really like this because it covers up everything and is just super fantastic basically. It makes me a little pale, but I like being pale so that's fine.

Next up we have my favourite eyeliner! It was actually a tie between this and another, but I used this one more, especially towards the end of the month.

I got this in my Ipsy bag a while back, and actually really enjoy the brand in general!

I just did a review on this last week, but it's the ELF Smudge Brush. I've really been loving this to put a little bit of eyeshadow on my lower lash line for a pop of colour.

This is my favourite eyeshadow, and I don't know why I've never mentioned it before! I've been using it since the summer, but just lately started becoming even more obsessed with it.

And it's the Revlon Vital Radiance Mousse Eyeshadow! :3 I actually don't know the colour of it because it was on the packaging and I threw it out months ago.

But it's just a mousse eyeshadow and looks really natural for when I want something light and effortless. And it doesn't crease on me a ton either, which I like!

Next up we have this ELF Blush and Bronzer Duo compact thingy majiggy.

The colour name, again, isn't on the back, but that's fine.

I bought it from my work for $3 and at first, I really hated it. But then I used it recently and the blush was just really pretty and not too dark.

And the bronzer part is also really nice! It's the only bronzer I've used that actually blends with my skin nicely!

This! Oh my gosh, I had been searching for this for months! But I finally got it at the beginning of the month, and it's a love hate relationship with this.

I love this because it's been helping with my acne scars, but it's really flakey and annoying to use with a lot of my foundations.

But I plan on reviewing this soon so watch out for that. :3

This is actually my only non makeup product haha!

But it's the Garnier Fructis Instant Repair Mask. :3 I bought this from my work at the beginning of the month, and after one use, I was hooked. I've actually been using this as my conditioner the past two weeks too.

It just makes me hair really soft and feels amazing!!!

My second last product is my Skin79 Highlighter! I don't know the exact name for it, but I looked at a bunch of korean makeup on eBay and this came up. The pretty colours attracted me!

I'm really iffy with highlighters because my skin is really oily and I don't want to overdo it, but I use this with my bronzer and blush duo, and it's just really pretty.

And pastel!!

Last, but definitely not least, is my ELF Little Black Beauty Book: Night Edition!

I saw this at my work for $5, and knew I had to get it.

I have the huge 100 colour eyeshadow palette from ELF, but it's hard to travel with because it doesn't fit in my makeup case, and I don't wanna crack the colours. But this works perfect!

And it has some really nice colours in there.

I've been using this with the smudge brush I mentioned, and been putting the glittery purple and blue colours on my lash line a lot, then using the matte black colour over my eyeliner so it doesn't smudge.

Overall, it's a great find and I love it so much!

These are all the things I've been loving lately, and if you guys have a monthly favourites post or video, definitely send me a link! :3

My Life in Pictures!!!

Hey everyone!!! :3

Today I thought I would switch it up a little bit, and do a picture post!

Basically what this is going to be, is a bunch of pictures that I've taken recently, and I'll be telling you a little story behind them.

I've seen these before and I think they're really neat!!!

Hahaha this is actually the most recently one!

I had a date night a while ago, and while the guys were setting up this really cool video game thing, I sat on my friend and took a selfie of us!

I'm actually going from most recent to not so recent, just so there isn't any confusion.

But on my birthday, also the morning of my date, I dyed my tips red because I haven't done them that colour before!

I really like how it turned out and plan on doing more of it red after this fades out!

I was doing laundry this day, and actually got really confused on what to wear, because I had never worn the skirt or the shirt before, but I ended up really loving this outfit, even though it was a little cold out.

My friend and I went out trick or treating, so it was really dark, but I still managed to get a picture of us! I look really mad or something in it though.

It's my old Pikachu!!!

It's actually at my grandma's house, and comes to about my knee. I got it when I was little, but recently didn't have enough room, so my grandma took it in as her pet.

I took this when I went to the corn maze with my staff and best friend.

I parted my hair down the middle which I haven't done in a few years, and ended up doing my makeup like Selena Gomez because she's my idol.

But then I wore a fedora and ruined it lol

Before you ask, no, this isn't candy! It's makeup!!

I got these highlighter balls from eBay a while ago because the colours were really pretty. I've been using this quite often and I really like them. Expect a review on them within the future!

Lol oh my god, I forgot about this.

But my sister and I here were trying to take a nice picture for our friend, and I ended up taking this one.

Don't worry, we didn't use it though.

I actually went to the college a while ago to run a few errands, and never realized how cool it actually looks.

Is that weird?

SELFIE SATURDAY.

It actually was a saturday, because I never wear snapbacks on days I work. But you can't really see it. :c

Don't mind the mascara that I forgot to clean up.

But I did my makeup and lined my bottom lash line with blue and purple mascara, and really loved the look. I actually do this a lot now!

Also I know my pupils are huge. People always think I'm on something omg.

I'M GREEN!!!

I took this picture in my break room a couple weeks ago and was playing around with these filter apps I rarely use, and discovered a filter called Superpunch or something like that and ended up using this on my facebook for a while.

I got a wig a little while ago for my halloween costume, and when I tried it on, I took some pictures.

My grandma, boss and even my friends thought it was someone else!!

I actually wouldn't mind getting this hair in real life!

This is just a weird picture lol but I really liked my hair here. I waved it, then used a bobby pin to put it into a side ponytail, and it stayed pretty well!!!

I went to BC a little while ago, and it was raining the entire time. But yeah, I took this picture and it was really pretty despite the rain. 

And this is generally me when people ask to have some of my coffee. I get really frightened.

And that's about it!! :3

I don't wanna post too many and bore you all.

Top 25 Most Played Songs!!!

Hey everyone!!!

I thought it would be fun to show you guys the most played songs on my phone, also showing you guys a snippet on my music taste.

So let's jump into it!

My most played song, with 526 plays, is Catch My Breath. It's not the actual version, but in fact a cover of the song, done by the ever so talented Alex Goot and Against The Current.

This is the song that made me want to take singing lessons, and also my 'calm the fuq down' song.

Whenever I'm stressed out, can't stop laughing, extremely mad to the point I'm about to rip off your head, this is the song that calms me down instantly.

There's so many times in my music lessons I can't stop laughing because I can't do french, and all I do is think of this or sing it, and I'm good.

FUN FACT! I sang this song for a substitute music teacher, and he said I hit every FEMALE note, spot on. Pip pip cheerio.

If you want to listen to the song, you can do so here!

The next song is Guessing, with a whopping 419 plays. Which is a little bit sad because I've had this song for maybe four months. So you know, 100 odd plays a month or so.

I love this song, and can't say enough good things about it. I love that it tests my vocal range.

I also waited for this song for a good six months. When it came out, I freaked out.

You can check it out here!

Next up, we have another cover by the fantastic Alex Goot and Against The Current. This cover has 349 plays. The song is Not Over You, originally by Gavin DeGraw. I've shown my teacher this song, and we've attempted it. It's kinda hard to do a duet though when it's just one person.

On a different note, my mom loves this song too. She would request it for weeks and weeks whenever I played my phone in the car.

This is definitely the song that started my addiction to these two people.

You can listen to it here! 

I think you guys might be starting to see my obsession with Against The Current. 

At number four, is Closer, Faster with 294 plays.

Along with Guessing, this is also an original from the band.

They released it earlier in the year and I freaked out. My now ex boyfriend and best friend probably thought I was weird.

Also, I would quote the lyrics to this on my personal facebook, and the boy I was seeing at the time thought I wrote a song about him. Haaaa.

I no longer own the actual song I wrote for him.

MOVING ON.

I'm in love with this song. This song always boosts my spirits, and gives me a burst of energy.

I can be dead tired, pissed off and hating life, but the second this comes on, I do a ninja kick and start singing my little heart out.

This is a song I cannot sing quietly.

If you wanna see why I'm obsessed with it, click here.

Before you bite my head off, I know this is possibly weird.

Basically what this one is, is T-Swift's version of the song, just sped up. I found it through the girl, Brittany Joyal on youtube, when she did a little music video for it. I found it cute, and catchy, so I downloaded it from that video. I loved it so much, it got 294 plays!

And to hear that one, just play it and speed it up. Easy peasy.

WhaddUPPPP!

We got some old school Demi Lovato going on here!

On my old computer, this song actually had over 1000 plays, but then I moved things around wrong and now it has 238.

I used to listen to this song on repeat though in my high school days, because I honestly related to everything in this. I still get super emotional when I hear it. Huzzah!

It's just a very beautiful song, and if you like Demi, or slower songs, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Here!

Look! It's another Against The Current song!

This one is a cover though, but a solo cover which has 233 plays on it. And I only got it a month ago...

The song Chocolate is originally by the 1975.

A lot of people didn't like this cover, solely because they performed it the same as the actual song was done. They also claimed it was hard to hear Chrissy's voice, which I don't find at all.

This is a super catchy song, and the name is just perfect. I mean, for normal girls that enjoy chocolate. I prefer beef jerky.

You can click here to listen to it!

This is where it's going to start getting a little confusing maybe.

I went through this phase where I adored One Direction, and I still do.

But their album came out, I hated it and them cause they were twats, but then I gave it an actual listen because Zayn was hot...

And I bought the album, twice. By mistake. And then another time because I can.

And I kid you not when I say I would sleep to this album. The entire album, I would put on repeat, and fall asleep to it. Hence why it has a million plays (not really it's 232)

And plus Save You Tonight in general, I just thought was really cute and the chorus gave me butterflies and Harry's hot.

One Direction songs are easy enough to find so you guys have fun youtubing them.

And here we have another song by One Direction, which is the one their album was titled after. Up All Night has 224 plays. Again, listened to it all night for a month pretty much for reasons.

My mom also really enjoyed this song because it's upbeat and catchy. Whaddup.

Now we have Paralyzed by Big Time Rush. It has 222 plays and I really enjoy the catchyness of it.

It makes me wanna dance. It makes me wanna sing. It makes me wanna bang the daylight out of James Maslow because he's a babe. And did I really just say that?

Indeed.

But you get my point. It's a nice song and I enjoy it.

Again, it's pretty popular, so you can just youtube that sh!t up.

This song here, oh my god, I need a minute. 

Forget You by my favourite person ever, Cady Groves, has 221 plays.

This song came out, and I was in love.

If you come into my store, you'll most likely hear me singing this to myself.

It's one of my favourite songs in general, just because it's kinda slow at the beginning then it speeds up and I can't handle life for the three, almost four minutes.

Cady isn't as popular, so you can click here to listen to the song.

Looking at the cover now, Harry's hair is bothering me greatly.

I'm sure everyone's heard this song, What Makes You Beautiful. It received 219 plays, kinda.

I have another copy of this song on my phone, same version. Same band. But I bought the single first, so it technically has more but this one in general has whatever amount I said.

I've made videos lip syncing this song, and it's just cute.

FUN FACT!

When I first heard of this song, I thought it was supposed to be a cover of What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful, or whatever that song is. The song titles are completely different, so therefore, I'm stupid.

But that's what made me hate them. Is that in my mind, they ruined this cover that they never even did.

Cool beans.

Another one of 1D's singles. Bought it, loved it, slept to it, whatever.

I also liked the music video for this, just because Zayn was super cute in it and I always teenied over it.

It has 218 plays that's it that's fine.

Surprise surprise. Another 1D song.

This one was a weird one though. It legit gave me butterflies, but not in the 'oh my god I'm in love wah wah white girl problems' sense.

In the 'I'm creeped out' sense.

WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE but that's fine.

It has creeped me out 208 times.

Hey look! It's NOT One Direction finally oh my god even I'm annoyed with them now and this is my blog post and my songs.

Again though, we have Catch My Breath. You've probably heard it before, so therefore I won't be linking it.

This song is amazing, just like the cover. But unlike the cover, it doesn't calm me down as much, and it's harder for me to sing because of range.

But none the less, I still like the song and her voice.

It has 204 plays on my playlist.

Again? Oh my god just hit me.

But this was another one of their songs I liked because it was fast and upbeat and I slept to it and would pretend Zayn was singing it to me.

Don't judge me.

It has 202 plays.

YAY it's Cady again! This is her song, Love Actually which surprisingly we play at my work, a lot. And I always try singing to it, but then people come in and ask me really stupid questions and I get really mad and sing it in my head.

But I love this song. I think this is what kind of possibly made me obsessed with her even more. 

It has 189 plays, bringing it under the 200 mark.

This is another song though that I get really pumped about and will always dance to it when I hear the chorus.

You can listen to this gem here.

This is the last song of their's that on here, so we can all breathe easier now.

It's Tell Me A Lie, and has 188 plays.

Not much to be said. I just liked it.

I used to listen to this sometime earlier in the year when I was dating this one dude, who I've mentioned before. It's BEAR.

I listened to this religiously because I thought he was seeing girls behind my back. Haha what?

I've listened to it 187 times, and I don't know why. It's a nice song, but it's actually really repetitive.

Huzzah! Again, we have Alex Goot, featuring Against The Current, Sam Tsui, Kurt Schneider, and King the Kid, aka Friends.

But I discovered this just before their tour they did earlier in the summer, and I was going to go, but it was a six hour drive, and Against the Current actually wasn't there so I passed.

But it's just a cover of Taylor Swift's song, 22. And it's really nice!!

Nice enough that it's been played 180 times.

Click here to hear it! 

Now we have someone Canadian!! Her name is Jodi King, and she's actually really nice. I've met her before. :3

My friends band Phao was doing a show, and she was there and really talented and amazing!

I made my ex listen to this all the time too because I had him under my spell OH MY GOD I was evil I always got my way, and I knew how.

This one also has 180 plays.

Listen to it here!

We've all heard this song. It's Call Me Maybe and everyone was obsessed with it and now we all hate it. You've heard it so i'm not linking it.

It has 179 plays and it's fun to sing to.

Now we have Lightning by Alex Goot! Yaaaay!

I really like this song, and my sister does too, which says a lot. Kinda. Not really.

But yeah, this is a really nice song, and I think a majority of you would enjoy it! :3

It has 174 plays.

Click here to listen! :3

Another song by Jodi King! :3

This one I actually liked more than Happy, but I didn't listen to it because I always forget I have it! Even though it has 174 plays, yeah, I always forget it.

Click here to listen!

Last, but not least, with 172 plays, is Meant To Be by Cady Groves.

This one is actually not a studio version, it's a live version, with a ton of screaming, so I will not be linking it.

The lyrics really hit home for me, which is actually why I'm including a FUN FACT!!!

Over the summer, I had to perform a song. In front of people. It was horrible and I was scared and wanted to die.

And this was the song I picked to do. I learned it and got the notes done and everything, and then ended up switching songs last minute. Haha but yeah, I was actually supposed to sing this song. YAY.

So those are my top played songs on my iPhone!
