Love the scents and flavors - great hydration - long lasting
I love lip balms, especially when they are vegan products!! I recently found out about Crazy Rumors and tried out 3 of their balms... let me just say... OMG! They smell good, taste good, feel good and they really do keep my lips hydrated! I have tried hundreds of of lip balms from other companies, and I used to like Nivea and Blistex, but after using Crazy Rumors I've switched out my staple balms in my purse with my Crazy Rumors Lip Balms! These balms feel so smooth and they don't irritate my lips or the skin around my lips. They also stay on longer than my other balms, which is great because I really used to hate having to reapply balm all through out the day. Another thing I noticed, when my lips get raw and chapped from eating a lot of salty foods, after using the Crazy Rumors balms, the soreness and puffiness subsides. Crazy Rumors uses natural ingredients in their balms. I will show you which ones I personally use and insert info on each one from the Crazy Rumors website. I hope you all enjoy, and I completely recommend this to everyone who has any type of lip issues; dryness, chapping, raw spots, even a bit of sun damage.

Amazing volume!
Living Proof is a hair product company that has been around for a few years now. I first heard of them when I saw their infamous anti-frizz products. I personally have pretty normal hair; pin straight, thick, tons of fine hairs all over my head, and usually will not work well with hair products. I've never been big on styling my hair, I rarely even brush my hair because it normally falls perfectly fine and doesn't need much attention. I have been using two products from Living Proof lately and am very happy with the results, so much that I have been using them regularly ever since I got them.
The first product is the Full Root Lifting Spray for all hair types. "For flat, lifeless hair... to create beautiful lift and height... features an exclusive blend... making the lift touchable and flexible without compromising its durability... Beautiful lift that lasts all day" I have used this product on my hair wet and dry, I prefer to use it on my hair when it is wet - it tends to work better for me that way. I randomly section my hair and spray the roots lightly and then brush it into my hair. I then blow dry it and begin to style my hair; I usually brush my hair one way, blow dry it, then brush it back the other way in which I intend to wear it - doing this adds more volume to my hair. My hair normally is too heavy to hold volume on it's own, and it's too smooth to back comb. Using this spray, I have had more voluminous hair without having it stiff or untouchable. I love that it blends with my hair nicely and I can still run my fingers through it and play with it and not lose any volume. I have even woken up the next day with my hair still voluminous enough to just brush it and have great 2nd day hair!! I recommend this to everyone looking to add lift and volume, if it works on my stubborn straight and heavy hair, it'll work on anyone!
Helps maintain fly aways on straight hair
Living Proof is a hair product company that has been around for a few years now. I first heard of them when I saw their infamous anti-frizz products. I personally have pretty normal hair; pin straight, thick, tons of fine hairs all over my head, and usually will not work well with hair products. I've never been big on styling my hair, I rarely even brush my hair because it normally falls perfectly fine and doesn't need much attention. I have been using two products from Living Proof lately and am very happy with the results, so much that I have been using them regularly ever since I got them.
The second product is the No Frizz Straight Styling Cream for medium to thick hair. "a lightweight lotion that eliminates frizz and contains conditioning to replenish the hair's moisture, for a straight, shiny style with natural movement. The cream is also terrific for smoothing split ends... effectively block humidity for beautifully soft, silky, frizz-free hair" I have used this product on my hair wet and dry, I do not prefer one over the other because I still get the same results and the cream is not too heavy where it weighs down dry hair. I do not have frizzy hair, but this cream is great to use on those fine baby hairs to keep them tamed and on the ends of my hair to keep them conditioned and smooth. You know when some has split or dry ends, in the sunlight you can see them poking out a bit and it creates a kind of choppy look? Well, after using this product regularly, I have noticed I don't have that choppy poky look anymore. My ends are smooth and have that freshly-cut look to them. If you are someone who doesn't have frizz but has unruly ends and baby hairs, I recommend this product for a perfect style and healthy effect. Unfortunately, because I do not have frizzy hair, I cannot recommend it to people who do suffer from frizz.
Great for bottom lashes
I saw these mascara's on Eyes Lips Face's website for only $3.00 each! I thought that maybe if these were good staple products, I could pack my kit with them and use them on my clients. I like and dislike the E.L.F. Studio Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara, but I will be repurchasing them.
Why I like this product: - This mascara really is good at separating and lengthening the lashes - This mascara is great for the bottom lashes, especially if you have long lashes - It's an inexpensive product that I can buy in bulk for my makeup kit
Why I dislike this product: - The handle is too long - it feels almost like you're using a sample sized wand - The mascara is not voluminous as it is advertised to be - The mascara completely flattened my curled lashes - but it could have also been the curler I used (not sure yet) - The brown mascara doesn't come out as brown as I had hoped it would
With all that said - I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a great and inexpensive bottom lash mascara (I personally use a different mascara for my bottom lashes all the time) and for people looking for a lengthening mascara.
Great color selection, last long, applies smooth, not drying
A long time ago, I bought one of these lipsticks, and ended up loving it and using it all up. Eyes Lips Face is known for their inexpensive makeup and good quality, the E.L.F. Essentials Lipsticks are a great way to expand your lipstick collection without breaking the bank. They are smooth when applying and have a matte finish - a perfect product to combine with the E.L.F. Essential Luscious Liquid Lipsticks. They come in 6 wearable shades; Classy, Gypsy, Seductive, Voodoo, Posh, Fantasy. My personal favorite is Seductive - it's a pretty natural lip color that goes with EVERY look and style! Photos and swatches below, I hope you all consider these for your next lipstick purchase :)

Great palette for everyday!
Eyes Lips Face has wonderful eyeshadows at an inexpensive price, they also provide useful palettes that you can easily create many wearable everyday looks without having to buy a lot of products. One of my favorite palettes in the Essentials Eye Shadow Palette Limited Edition in Natural. It comes with 6 shades of neutral based light shimmer shadows. I have been using this palette lately and for only $3.00 it is well worth the money! I have even used these shadows wet for a more vibrant look. This palette has very inspiring shades, I have created so many different looks with these colors; from subtle neutral looks to darker smokey looks. Sometimes I even use just one color on the lid and a highlight on my brow bone, inner corner and cheeks bones for a 5-min look.
Applys smooth, lasts long, smells minty, feels smooth and not gritty or sticky
Eyes Lips Face (aka E.L.F.) are always having discount sales on their products. I took advantage of their 50% off on lip products back in January, and bought all the shades of the E.L.F. Essentials Luscious Liquid Lipstick (except for the shade Perfect Pink because it has been out of stock for a while now). These glosses retail at $1.00 and you can either find them at Target or online at the E.L.F website. I purchased all these to put in my kit, and I'm happy to say I'm very pleased with them and I'm sure my clients will be too. I tried out all of these and was very pleased with the pigmentation and quality of the glosses. Some of them are pretty sheer, while others have amazing color payoff. The glosses have a smooth formula, although I applied them with a lip brush, I'm assuming since the products have the sponge tip applicator it should go on smoother than using a lip brush. The glosses have a fresh minty smell that is not overpowering as some other cheap lip products tend to have. I give these glosses 2 thumbs up, and plan on repurchasing. I would recommend these to everyone who likes glossy tinted lips.
You can also apply these over your favorite lipsticks to amp up the color. Try mix-matching your lipsticks and glosses and create new shades without buying more products.
My Favorite Shades Cherry Tart, Ruby Slipper, and Bark

Long lasting hydration - great for chapped lips too!
I received this as a sample during a purchase I made on Sephora's website about a month ago. I had never heard of Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream before, so I looked them up online and here is what I found out:
- Yu-Be (pronounced "YOO-BEE") is the #1 selling medicated, vitamin-enriched skin care cream in Japan. - Yu-Be is a Glycerin-based moisturizing cream enriched with Vitamin E, Vitamin B2 and Camphor. It's the uniquely high Glycerin content and absorb ability, achieved through a special manufacturing process in Japan, which makes Yu-Be so effective on severe dry skin and truly sets it apart from other creams.
Yu-Be contains these leading skin conditioning ingredients: - Glycerin - Natural "Humectant" attracts and retains moisture in the skin, making it softer. - Vitamin E - Natural anti-oxidant and skin protector. - Vitamin B2 - Helps to smooth rough or damaged skin - also gives Yu-Be it's yellow color. - Camphor - Helps soothe minor skin irritations - mild scent fades in minutes leaving skin feeling healthy.
* Concentrated moisturizer helps hydrate, heal, soothe and smooth severe dry skin * Helps heal split cuticles and smooth rough, dry skin on hands, elbows, knees and feet. * Helps protect and moisturize skin exposed to cold, wind, water and sun. * Non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and locks in for hours. Good for all day or all night. * Contains no artificial colors or fragrances.
I have used this product as suggested, on my cuticles, chapped lips, dry skin areas like my knuckles and heels, and even on some dry spots on my face. It is surprisingly hydrating and lasts a long time on your skin. It doesn't really have a scent to it or a sensation when applying it on your skin.
This cream is very thick and very smooth it reminds me of Vaseline, just more amped up. My favorite thing to use this for is my chapped lips. When I first read to use it on your lips I thought it would feel odd, but it's actually very pleasant. It doesn't feel sticky or greasy, it keeps my lips from getting dry and cracking, and most of all my lips are smooth all day through eating and drinking. Also, I have been using this since I got it a couple months ago and I still have a good amount left in the sample container. A little of this cream goes a long way! I recommend this to everyone because you can use this for so many ailments and still get good results.
LOVE This! Smooth, hydrating, long lasting - NON GREASY!
I purchased this cream two summers ago because my face was feeling dried out from all the sun exposure it was getting. I had always used baby lotions on my face because of my sensitive skin, but it was no longer doing it for me. So on my venture for a new moisturizer, and among the different products I've tried, I have kept MAC Studio Moisture Cream in my routine ever since I bought it.
