TNT Series – January/February

Hi there! The style 608 TNT series is here and it’s back! I took a little hiatus for the holidays and I’m here today with a few new makeup products that I’ve been trying out for the past couple of months. This series will become a sporadic post from here on out. As always, leave anything in the comments below that you would like to see my try and review. : )

First up is the Aubio chapstick @aubiolifesciences #AubioLipBalm #sponsored I received this product free to test and review. All opinions are my own. I really like the black packaging of this chapstick. The scent is floral and sweet which is very appealing to me. I use this chapstick in the morning before I apply any other lip products and at night before I go to bed. It applies very smooth and feels really light on the lips. It doesn’t feel sticky at all either. This chapstick has a cooling minty feel when applied and you get yours on Amazon. Another added bonus is that this chapstick has a 30 SPF to protect your lips from the suns harmful UV rays. Most beneficial in the Winter to hydrate chapped lips but also works great all year round.

Lipsticks: I’ve got a few.
First up is the ColourPop Creme Lux Lipstick Ariel from the Disney Collection. $7 You can buy this lipstick in a few ways: on its own, in the lipstick collection, in the whole Disney designer collection or in the Ariel collection which comes with a shadow and a gloss.
I’ve also been trying out Belle. Belle is more of a berry toned color.
PROS
+ Goes on so smooth with one swipe, very pigmented.
+ Love the satin/matte finish.
+ Love the color – a darker nude with a coral/peach undertone.
+ Love the packaging, so cute! All the Disney princesses signed the tube.
+ Love the price at just $7 for the lipstick (The Ariel collection goes for $18).
+ Lasts a while but re-application is necessary after eating.
CONS
– This lipstick is limited edition and will not be around for long.
– Supposed to wear like a creme but does wear more matte (I think this is a PRO but some may not.)

Pixi by Petra GelTint & SilkGloss $12 This dual ended lippie may look intimidating because the color is a bit bold but it’s so good! I chose the pink tint color and it looks neon but it does not come out looking that way. I wanted a very summery color for my beach travels.
PROS
+ Love that there are 2 shades in 1 container – more options.
+ Price is right at $12.
+ Packaging is right on par with all other Pixi products.
+ The color is so summery and beautiful. It makes your lips look like you applied a stain. It amplifies the true color of your lips.
+ When you apply this product there is a minty cooling feeling that is very refreshing.
CONS
– The color is so sheer that it takes a little time to build it up to get my desired color tint.
– The formula is a little sticky.

E.L.F. Cosmetics Poreless Face Primer Under $6, you cannot beat that! I love a good primer and usually I gravitate towards ones that reduce redness but since I’ve gotten that under control I thought I would try a primer to give me a smoother finish.
PROS
+ This primer is cruelty free.
+ Love the packaging. The bottle is tinted slightly pink but the primer itself is white. Looks high end.
+ There are 6 other primers in this line and each is tinted a different color, love that.
+ You only need half a pump to cover your whole face so this primer will last a while.
+ This primer applies so smooth and feels so soft on the skin without a heavy or greasy.
CONS
– The scent is kind of chemically or medical like. The scent reminds me of eucalyptus but stronger. It’s not un-useable but it is not my favorite scent
