COVERGIRL VoxBox Review pt.2 // Oh Sugar! Vitamin Infused Lip Balm

I was lucky enough to receive the "COVERGIRL" VoxBox from Influenster. Since I use the CoverGirl "Smoothers SPF 21 Tinted Moisturizer BB Cream + Sunscreen" and "CoverGirl Ready, Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion Powder Foundation" daily, I was exited to give the new products a try. 

In my box I found the "Plumpify Mascara" (check out my review HERE), and the "Oh Sugar! Vitamin Infused Lip Balm". 

_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Today I want to let you know how I liked the "Oh Sugar! Vitamin infused Lip Balm"

The second I've opened the lip balm, I was in love. It smells super good, the texture is great, and the color Influenster picked for me (Taffy) is very pretty. The balm adds a wee bit of color to your lips, just enough for your everyday makeup!

While being very disappointed with the Plumpify mascara I found in my VoxBox, the "Oh Sugar!" made everything alright again. I would definitely suggest you ladies to give it a try. I will have to check out all the other colors out there. I really want a brown-ish tone as well...

Bottom Line

• Lovely smell
• Great texture & color
• Overall a great lipstick / lip balm you should give a try!

And now for the obvious disclaimer: "I received these products complimentary from influenster for testing purposes."
Yep. Free stuff for me to try and then review... because I'm Batman.


 

Beauty: My daily MakeUp Routine

After posting my Firmoo.com review, a lot of you guys sent me mails, asking me about my pink lipstick:

I don't wear it every day, but I really love it. It's "Wet n Wild", and I found it at Walgreens for $2.00 on sale. It lasts super long! It looked a little bit too intense for my taste while I was still blonde. But now with the darker hair, I LOVE it!

And since now we started talking about makeup, I wanted to share the products I use every day:

I was a little shocked to see all this :oD since I don't consider myself a chick. But here is what I use:

• Manhattan 2 in 1 (Powder & Makeup)
• bronzing powder as blush (essence)
• eyebrow pencil (p2 from Germany... almost gone...)
• eye-shadow (p2) light color and brown or teal -> OR eye-shadow pencil LA Colors 
• waterproof mascara (Jane)
• lipgloss (Jane - various colors depending on the mood)

A huge expat problem for me was: finding new makeup I like. In Germany I was mainly using store-brand stuff, and since the day I started using makeup, "Manhattan" was my go-to brand. Especially the "2 in 1". It is just awesome... And now my last little bit is gone... Even though it says they have a branch in New York City, I can't find this specific makeup anywhere. Not online. Not offline.

So today I've spent a looong time at Walgreens, trying to find something similar. I ended up with the Covergirl "ready set GORGEOUS". The texture felt like my good old Manhattan product, and the color fits my teint very well. I hope, after a couple of days, I will still like it. We will see...

Do you have any awesome makeup suggestions for me? What are your go-to products?
