EOS LIPBALM REVIEW + MINT JULEP MASK

H e l l ooo! It's been quite long and I'm trying ever so hard to comeback with a bang! I've been meaning to do a review, since I haven't done oneof those in ages!
I will be reviewing the famous "EOS lipbalm" that michelle phanuses in her videos, and the also famous Mint julep masque by queen helene!
But first random food for thought, anyone?
@ french restaurant "Le salade de fruits" locatedsomewhere in West Vancouver!


Crepe du jour; decent dish, but nothing amaazing I'd say

Pates du jour; a very excellent dish, loveeed it! I am obsessed with pasta, really




Chocolate mousse! nice thick texture, but nothing really that glamorous.

Review time!


Mint Julep Masque by Queen Julep

So I've been hearing a lot of rave about this incredible face mask that's onlyavailable in the states. My sister actually picked this up when she went down to the statesto do a little faire des achats with her friends (she also got the lip balm for me as well)

When I first tried it, the smell was quite minty but the scent wasn't "extreme".Mask of magnaminty from Lush is much more strong, and I will do a review for that some time later too! So ok back to this product, It dries fairly quickly and I usuallywash it off after 10 minutes to prevent it from drying up my skin. I feel that my pores did look a little bit smaller and my skin tone looked more radiant so that was nice,however these are just typical effects that many masks give for a certain amount of time.

Overall, this product IS worth getting. I mean for a few bucks, it does deserve a spot in your skincare collection. It's also a nice mask for those who just want a face mask,but this could be a problem for us Canadians, since it does not sell here in Canada.If you could somehow get this product, definitely try it out and expect some pleasantresults. As for the tip for using this as an acne treatment, I have not yet tried that. However, I found that when I used more of the product, I achieved a better result :)

EOS--Honeysuckle Honeydew Lipbalm by EOS

So I never really saw this product around, until Michelle Phan has used it in one of hermakeup tutorials and I was like "That is a cute looking lipbalm!". However, being Canadian, I wasn't extremely keen on getting it, since it wasn't available here anyway!However my sister had gotten me one when she was down in the states, and so this is what I think of it!

When I first smelt it, it smelt really nice and authentic like the actual honeydew which is lovelysince I love honeydew! You could almost eat it! The shape is like those kinder suprise eggs and it comes in a lovely shade of a pale avocado smoothie! I feel that the lip balmworks ok, but it isn't super moisturizing like my polysporin one with SPF. Yes! No SPF is kind of a letdown for me, but the 100% natural and 95% organic idea makes it ok with me!

Overall this is a lipbalm to add to your collection, or a nice alternative to use if you're gettingbored of your regular lipbalm. However, I won't consider this a "staple" in your bag becauseit's definitely not spectacular in the moisturizing department, but the smell is ever so pleasant.
