VitaminSchtick Pics and Update

Hellooooo-

So I've been using my VitaminWater lip balm for the past few days now and I really like it. If you put waaaaaaaaaay too much on (like me) it becomes a bit grainy but other than that my first impressions were spot on. Someone was interested in packaging and pics, well here you are!

Look at the size of my nail in comparison to the tube! Huge!

By the way, when I bought it, the packaging was a little grubby (duh, it was from Urban Outfitters), but I realized there was a whole seal on the outside printed the same way as the sticker on the tube so it was nice and clean when unwrapped, without any yucky price tag residue.

I love the balm. It gives my lips a really nice shine, but it hasn't replaced my Yves Rocher reparing balm. I use that under lipstick.

A quick little update...

Hellooooo-

Okay, so at Urban Outfitters today (yes, I go almost everyday, you would too if you lived 5mins away), I noticed that all sale was 30% off! I have no idea how much time I spent there, but it was a while. I bought nothing because I'm going out with a friend tomorrow. There were no new VitaminSchticks, and I noticed that all of the POPBeauty cat eyes eyeliners were open, so that kinda failed. :( BTW, POP is on HauteLook today! Tomorrow I have only one beauty-related thing, and it's a maybe. It's this texturizing spray. On double-sale it would be $7. Other things on my to-buy list are:

Suave Dry Shampoo- $3
Lustre Drops by MAC- $19.50 (Bronze Everyday collection coming out on April 7)
A pink cream blush, maybe MAC's Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy- $19.50
ELF Bestsellers Kit- $5
Sonia Kashuk Berry Lip Quad- $12.99 (That's not exactly what it's called...)

Yeahhhhhhhhh. Not sure which items will actually be in my future, but those are the ones on my wishlist.

Physician's Formula SALE

Hey guys,

At CVS this week all Physician's Formula is 40% off! I'll be stopping by there definitely on Friday but I can't promise to pick anything up because as you saw, I went on a seriously serious shopping binge is France...and you've only seen the makeup! Please post your favorite Physician's Formula products in the comments! I'm thinking about their felt-tip liquid liner. Mine was Wet n' Wild, and the tip didn't last long. I talked about getting an Eyeko one from Urban Outfitters, but I never saw them again! I'm gonna see on Friday if they have any other flavors/colors for the VitaminSchtick balms, but I kinda doubt it. Sorry for never posting pics. I've been having some issues with the macro on my camera. I'll get on it.

Vitamin Schtick :)

Yesterday when I was walking around the shops near my house I noticed Club Monaco was closing and everything in the whole store was on clearance and was half off. I walked in and fell in love with a pair of blue chinos. They're so cute for Spring! They were originally $119, but I snagged them for TEN! Today I went back to buy a pair in a pretty olive green. I mean, why not? On the way home I had to stop into Urban Outfitters because it's basically my home away from home, and as I was traveling last week, I had been separated for too long. I always head straight for sale or beauty. A lot of times there's stuff on sale in beauty. My rule or UO is never to buy anything full price unless it's ridiculously cheap already. For quite a while now I've been eying (eyeing? eye-ing?) the VitaminWater lip balms. The trouble is, they're $8. Lip balm to me isn't supposed to cost $8. When I saw those glorious orange stickies reading $1.99, I knew one of them had to be mine. There were several yellow, one orange, and one purple. All of them were opened or gross except for one yellow! My preference was actually purple because I'm not generally a fan of citrus-y lip balms. If your lips are raw or chapped sometimes the acidity of lemon or orange or grapefruit can sting! But you don't understand. These balms are gigantic, and with their jiggly jello-y appearance, I was not concerned by its name: "tropical citrus". In fact, I think I prefer it over anything grape-y now that I have smelt it! I just want to eat it!!! It smells completely overwhelmingly delicious. And just in case you were wondering, it has Vitamin E and an SPF20! It feels great on my lips and gives them a really nice shiny, glossy finish. It also brings out the pink pigmentation of my lips somehow...I don't know, they just look pinker. You know how the VitaminWaters are supposed to have special uses or powers or whatever? This one is called energy! On the side it reads:

"please note: this great smelling lip balm only looks like a bottle of nutrient enhanced vitaminwater. by no mean should you drink the lip balm...instead grab a bottle of vitaminwater and begin operating heavy machinery."

How cute is that? Because the Urban Outfitters website completely sucks, and I can't find a decent listing anywhere else, I don't have a link. Maybe I'll post a picture tomorrow. Seriously, I won't be losing this lip balm!

Seriously, the price wasn't the same on the site, and they didn't have either the lemon or grape flavors that were in the store. *facepalm*

Urban Outfitters is my favorite store though. :)

SALE WIN!
