Skin Care Review: Moroccan Magic Lip Balm

Thinking back to when I was much, much younger, I’m sure the first beauty product I used was lip balm. In my mind it was a gateway beauty product — next would be lipgloss and then the golden prize — LIPSTICK! The irony is that now, decades later, I’m still in love with lip balm, and it’s a necessary piece to my makeup and skin care arsenals. I’m sure everyone has a reason for using a lip balm — it’s the perfect lip primer for those super matte lipsticks. Lip balm keeps your lips moist during harsh winter weather. It’s the natural go-to for an errand day or a dressed-down Saturday. Lip balm is pretty much a necessity. I had the pleasure of trying out Moroccan Magic Lip Balms. And pleasure I do mean… About Moroccan Magic Lip Balm $12 for 3 to $30 for 7: HIGH QUALITY LIP TREATMENT: Our balms are ultra smooth, healing and long lasting without that waxy feel or taste. Moroccan Magic Organic Lip Balms are infused with USDA Organic Argan and Essential Oils and are proud to only use high quality, fair trade, USDA Organic ingredients in our products. Our Formulas are non-toxic, cruelty free and always made with simple, pure, clean ingredients from nature MADE WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS: As a company, we have very high standards for our manufacturing process from ingredients to packaging. We never use synthetic ingredients, parabens, sodium laurel sulfate, phyhalates, chemicals, fillers, animal testing, mineral oils, petroleum. In fact, each ingredient included in our small batch formulas have purpose and are believed to have their own healing properties PURE, SIMPLE, CLEAN FORMULA: Our simple recipe for the perfect lip balm starts with quality ingredients. Each ingredient included in our small batch formulas have purpose and are believed to have their own healing properties. Enjoy Ingredients such as organic beeswax, argan oil, and rosemary extract for long lasting, smooth-as-butter results MOROCCAN MAGIC: As a true lip balm lover, you are most likely (and understandably) very picky about which lip balms you use. That’s good, we are too! That’s why we have created what people are now calling “The Smoothest Lip Balm Ever!” We are proud to offer a better balm, it’s as simple as that. You deserve a higher quality everyday lip balm at an everyday price Available in 8 flavors: ROSE: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic rose essential oil. MANUKA HONEY: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic Manuka honey. PEPPERMINT EUCALYPTUS: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils. LEMON THYME: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic lemon and thyme essential oils. LAVENDER VANILLA: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic lavender extract and organic vanilla. COCONUT ALMOND: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with organic sweet almond and coconut oils. ELDERBERRY AND MANUKA HONEY: This naturally sweet and earthy flavored lip balm was specially crafted with elderberry fruit extract and organic Manuka honey. UNSCENTED: This unscented lip balm was specially crafted to be your new favorite go-to lip balm for everyday chapped lip relief. My results: Moroccan Magic Lip Balms have raised the bar for inexperienced lip balm in a tube. The ingredients are exceptional— argan oil and a plethora of essential oils and herbs to vary the “flavor” and scent of the balm. My favorite use is under my lipstick as I like to use a long-wearing lipstick for work and those tend to be drying. However when I use Moroccan Magic Lip Balm before applying an ultra matte lipstick it saves my lips! These lip balms are also my daily go to as opposed to a lipgloss when I’m having a casual day. Moroccan Magic Lip Balm is also part of my nighttime skin care routine. A touch of this lip balm keeps my lips moist through the night. I do have my favorites–Elderberry and Manuka Honey, Coconut Almond and Lemon Thyme. But they are all wonderful. Bling Factor: Pro: Moisturizing, soothing, long-lasting, great ingredients Con: None Price: $3.99 each plus package prices Buy again: None Packaging: 5 Blings, each “flavor” is easily identifiable Overall: 5 Blings Hero Ingredients: Organic Argan and Essential Oils Natural/Organic/Vegan: Yes Cruelty Free: Yes

Trending – Winter Beauty: Beauty Hacks from Celeb MUA Joanna Simkin

Whether you’re going on a winter getaway, planning a date night or using the day off to focus on yourself, we’ve got you covered with these makeover Monday “Winter Beauty Hacks” from Celebrity MUA Joanna Simkin. Simkin stresses that beauty begins with moisturized, glowing skin and is fan of using Vaseline® Cocoa™ Radiant lotion for herself and her celebrity clients. Made with 100% pure cocoa butter, this hydrating moisturizer is a cold weather must-have that treats dry and dull winter skin. Don’t skip SPF! The sun’s rays are still out on cold winter days and can even reflect more directly off freshly-fallen snow. Winter is a time you can use heavier formulas of SPF for added moisture as well. To help your moisture absorb and last during the winter season, apply Vaseline® Cocoa Radiant™ lotion all over immediately after showering, then add thin layers of clothing or sleepwear (think Long Johns, gloves, socks). The 100% cocoa butter acts an emollient known to help hydrate the skin and lock in moisture to keep skin soft, smooth and glowing. Dark, matte lipstick is my favorite winter look! Prep lips by scrubbing with Vaseline® Lip Therapy® mixed with raw sugar to smooth. Rinse and pat dry before using a dark lip liner followed by a matte lip formula. The exfoliation will ensure smooth application, while the pat-dry will ensure no shine peeking through. To perk up my complexion in the winter months, I love to mix a golden liquid illumination with my winter shade of foundation. It softly warms the skin to look lit-from-within and provides my face with a subtle, natural glow. Minor skin irritations can be easily caused by dry winter air and harsh winds. I love using a thin layer of Vaseline® Jelly over red, irritated areas such as cheeks – it protects by creating a thin barrier on your skin.

Budget Beauty Tuesday: Editor’s Pick SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak

I have had the worst cold in history. Maybe the flu. At any rate, I have been one sick puppy. So between tea, tissue, and toddies I have been laid up on the couch streaming past seasons of Cake Boss and Crossing Jordan on Netflix. Dayquil, Nighquil, and cough drops just kind of dried me up leaving me rather coo coo. And then I remembered! I received a jar of SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak to review. Mind you, I usually only take a soak or bath when in a hotel, so I was quite anxious to check out this natural remedy for my nose which resembled the faucet streaming the water for my soak. I cracked open that jar, and oh my, what a sensory sensation met my nose! About SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak: Detoxifying & Healing Ease the symptoms of cold and sinus congestion with therapeutic Sage and healing Red bush extract. Our essential oil blend of natural expectorants–Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme and Eucalyptus– help speed recovery in this congestion relief soak. Create a luxurious spa treatment–detoxifying with mineral-rich Dead Sea Salts and sinus soothing essential oils wile healing with Shea Butter. My results: After I slid into the tub, I could immediately feel relief in my sinuses and my head. On top of that, this soak made my skin feel silky-soft to the touch. My sinuses were clear for hours and my chest felt serious relief. In contrast to rubbing that greasy stuff in the blue jar on my chest and under my nose, SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak is a welcome source of relief and a must have for this nasty cold and flu season. Bling Factor: Pro: Relieves congestion, smells great, soothes skin Con: None Price: $9.99 Buy Again: Yes Packaging: 4 Blings — Great size tub, perfect for housing a scoop Overall: 5 Blings Hero Ingredients: Essential oil Blend, Dead Sea Salts Natural/Organic/Vegan: Yes Cruelty Free: Yes Available in stores at Target, Walgreens and CVS.
