Beauty Product Review: Candy Paint Lip Gloss

I can honestly say that I LOVE this lip gloss. This beauty product is super shiny and thick. The oil base carries color surprisingly well, and the color layers over other colors perfectly. You can even mix two of them to make your own new shade, without worrying about them blurring together. It is a very nurturing lip product, working as a balm with color, but it still has a luxurious lip gloss feel. It really makes your lips look perfectly full and luscious.

• The color "This Is Me" is a perfect nude color with a hint of a true to flesh tone, and it covers instead of just being sheer.



• The color "Bossy" is a ultra glam shade of gold, which looks very striking on brunettes with brown eyes, like me.

"Candy Paint is a distinctive, natural collection of sexy, high-shine, treatment lip glosses that glide on smoothly to deliver luxurious color. Infused with natural ingredients such as grapeseed oil, shea butter, aloe vera extract and vitamin E to hydrate, condition, protect and soothe your lips. Contains no petroleum, mineral oil, or artificial colors and absolutely no parabens." - Carol's Daughter website

When you purchase this glamorous lip gloss, you will also be supporting a greater cause. With each purchase of Candy Paint, Carol´s Daughter has committed to donate a portion of its profits to the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). Now that is definitely more than fabulous!

Note to regular readers: I'm still using my Body Jelly, and it's keeping my skin so soft during these last cold weeks!

Here are my top picks of the moment:

Black Vanilla Leave In Conditioner

If you ever wanted a bath product that actually smells like real vanilla, then this is the one for you. Ever since I started using this conditioner, my hair has actually gotten thicker, and more soft. I love how it does not weigh my hair down, yet moisturizes unbelievably. I even use it on children's hair, and it leaves a soft lingering frangrance. I love it's buttery, cake like scent.

Infused with lavender and rosemary and light enough for daily use, this leave-in conditioner detangles while it detoxifies, leaving your hair and you feeling calm, relaxed and refreshed. The super-conditioning marigolds will hydrate sun-parched hair and restore tresses to their natural splendor.

A blend of roses, nettles, chamomile, rosemary, sage, lavender, peppermint, blue malva, and marigolds with fragrant essential oils of black coconut and vanilla, with vodka added as a preservative.

Hand and Body Jelly

I use this on my skin every day. I love to use it on my legs after I shave. It leaves my skin feeling supple and protected. It feels heavy when you first put it on, but absorbs completely and just the way I like it. I used to use petroleum jelly on my lips and on the very tops of my cheek and brow bones every day, but now use this, and I am extremely happy with the results.

Body Jellies are vegetable alternatives to petroleum jelly. They moisturize your skin without clogging your pores or leaving you feeling sticky.
