CandyLipz Review

Image source Candylipz

Hey guys and girls hope you are all well and looking after yourselves.

so it is october and getting up to the season where sads kicks in.

so trying to keep my mind busy was delighted to be sent a product from candylipz to review.

hope you enjoy feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Well we all know the fads of fashion and beauty where people look up to role models then seem to take to their style and it all seems to follow through most people, well I am not normally one of these people who does it just because a celeb does I do it for the reason that i want to.

this is because I like to have my own mind and style I like to be different.

But anyway we all know kylie jenner and a few other celebs who have plump lips that seem to make a lot of us want them too, which is scary that media affects us in this way as i have seen so many beautiful girls and guys get surgery, injections and end up ruining their natural beauty.

so I am going to add a little disclaimer here  I have small lips and they are cute loads of people love them and so do I so please don't feel that you need to plump yours just because you have read this review, as this is purely a review to show you the product and show you how it is an alternative to surgery should you wish to buy it if this is the case Please only buy it on your terms not because I own it or that celebs have plump lips, or because media says to buy it.

Remember you are your own person and you are beautiful just the way you are.

So candylipz have sent me this product free of charge to show readers the product and talk about the dangers of using things that are not designed to plump lips, and to show you their product which is claimed to be more safe to use to plump lips.

Anyway moving on to the more interesting part of this post, the review of candylipz.

CANDYLIPZ REVIEW

Before Getting The Product Thoughts

omg i was abit nervous as I had watched so many videos of ppl doing with shot glasses and their lips exploding due to their lips getting stuck in the glass, please do not try it with a glass it is dangerous and you have no way of getting the glass of quick if needed.

First Thoughts On Candy Lips When It Arrived.

Omg it arrived i was even more nervous knowing I was going to be trying it.

Just call me your guinea pig because if anything went wrong it would've saved you a lot of pain.

I was also excited to see if the rumours was true if you could plump your lips in minutes.

So mixture of feelings really from happy to excited to been nervous to what i had myself into.

Packaging

The packaging for me was really cute, simple but effective, it added that special touch.

really loved how pretty it looked taking photos of it on my white cushion.

really like how well the candylipz apple looks really stunning in the simple packaging.

Using The Product

How It Feels to use it?

It feels really weird hurts a little on your first few goes i didn't use it for the full length right away as I am scared to get the bruising and lip hickeys which can occur when first using the product ie the conditioning period but did It in smaller goes and didn't get lip hickeys.

what I did was put it on for a few seconds so I knew what it felt like kept doing this over the day for a few seconds to get grips to how it will feel on lips, then the next day i tried it for 20 seconds had a 10 min break then tried 30 seconds, then had break then tried a minute.

I am still very new to product I haven't yet built my self up to go the full length but everyone is different i will say do what you're comfy with but do read the instructions, also the whole of this review and other people's blog reviews and youtube videos just so you can get a better idea from more than one person as what I experience may be different to someone else.

How To Use

There is a conditioning period which I have put below from the website.

Conditioning period

Please note there is a 10 day conditioning period with Candylipz and some temporary hickey marks or bruising can occur. It varies from person to person. Please read instructions fully before use & build up use starting from 30 second increments.

You can read the candylipz conditioning period on candylipz website

Overall Review

Well where do I start, I was skeptical to begin with as i had seen so many people damage their lips plumping them with silly objects like glasses, so was abit scared to use this, but when I finally did i was glad i did because it felt safe and was easy to take off if I felt I didn't want it on.

So I do really love candylipz and the packaging it comes in which is elegant simple but effective.

The candylipz itself  im impressed with i havent even used it the whole length yet and just getting to grips with it even the short amount of time i tested it on lips to get used to the feeling I saw results.

Even tho it says you can get hickeys I didn't experience that which is good but that is prob because I haven't left it on the whole length yet and i used the lip cushion which it came with.

everyone is different though some will experience bruising or hickeys and some won't.

As much as I love this product already and its results with are temporary which I love as can have small lips or big lips without needing expensive painful  lip fillers which can go wrong and is long term.

Even though it states it is safe I do always wonder what long term effects could be and what

will happen if someone is using this everyday for 10 years as obviously I do not know the answer to that, so I will say please be reasonable read information online, ask the company any questions you may have, and if you experience anything like bleeding or extreme pain,

please stop using and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I will add I did not read the faqs till writing this post and did not know candylipz wasn't suitable for people with some illnesses so can say it was not good that the website doesn't ask you before you buy if you have any of the following illnesses, so that was pretty bad in my eyes because,

Someone may assume they can use it, because everyone else is using it.

Side Effects

Lip hickeys or bruising can occur when using the product.

Warning !!

Do not use things like glasses or other objects that people have been using to plump their lips because this can result in you busting your lips open and other things.

It is extremely dangerous to use items not designed for plumping lips,

if you check this link here you will see the bad effects caused by using products not safe for lip plumping, please be warned images may be extremely graphic please do not click if you have a weak stomach or do not like graphic content.

so please listen beautiful people if you are gonna plump your lips use a product designed to do so and use it properly. even still there is side effects so please be responsible if your under 16 then please always ask a grownup/adult to anything like this because they can help you find a product designed for your needs if they agree.

Questions and answers.

Does it matter what size my lips are originally?

There are different product designed please check the website for more details.

Does it hurt to use candy lipz?

It is not painful, it's more uncomfortable if anything.

I am under 16 can I use candylipz?

sweet cecily's lip balms

                                   Today I will be reviewing 3 lip balms from Sweet Cecily's.

We all know how lip balms are perfect for keeping our lips soft lets just face it no-one likes having dry cracked lips, these lip balms are lovely and help keep lips soft i have 3 of the flavour lip balms.

Pina colada,mojito,which are two of sweet cecily's best sellers,I also have one of these new flavours that is gonna launch soon which is my favorite out of them all this flavour is espresso martini.
you can find out more about the other flavours/fragrances sweet cecily's sell here 

Heres what I thought of the lip balms from sweet cecilys.

Very nice lip balms i love the fragrance of them, my favorite one is the one soon to be launched which is the espresso martini, but mojito one is also very nice, i wasn't to keen on the pina colada as the smell wasn't strong enough for my liking.
I think the price is very affordable at just 2.95 it won't break the bank also the lip balms come in very lovely packaging so they look pretty wherever you store them, shelve,dressing table,bag etc.






The balms are easy to apply although i find holding the container and rubbing on lips applies better as i found when using my finger to apply the lipgloss soaked into my skin to quick so not much went on lips so would suggest holding the container and rubbing on lips that way your lips will get a nice coating of it.

All About The Fragrance 

Mojito I loved the smell of this one very fresh and kinda minty defo the smell you want on your lips when on a date or maybe at a meeting.I love this one it reminds me of the morning when you brush your teeth and smell minty fresh and ready for the day ahead.

Espresso martini I really did love this one it was my favorite of them all as it smells like espresso as a massive coffee drinker I adore this fragrance although does make me crave more coffee/espresso when I smell it, its divine every coffee lover's
dream come true.









Pinacolada well first of all I didn't think the smell was strong enough didn't remind me much of pinacolada at all but did have a slight fragrance to it, the lip balm was nice on the lips and very gentle. I got my hubby to smell it and he said he could smell the pineapple, but I couldn't smell it as much maybe he as better sense of smell than
me?

Overall verdict

I really love the fragrances of cecily lip balms i would recommend them the price is affordable.

I am not keen on the pina colada as the smell wasn't strong enough for my liking but would suggest buying the flavours you like the sound of. the packaging is very nice and looks great.

One of the things i want to please with was when applying it with finger didn't feel like my lips was getting much balm on them so i found applying straight to your lips from the pot worked better for me, so if you do buy these give that tip a little try and let me know if it work better.

My lips did stay soft for long time But wasn't glossy or wet so for those of you who like wet gloss that stays wet for longer this one doesn't do that.

Pros
lips feel soft for long time
pretty packaging
nice fragrances.
Price

Cons
Pina Colada fragrance wasn't strong enough for my liking.
when applying it with finger finger soaks it up before u can put it on lips.
(way to solve this is hold the pot n rub it on lips that way)

Questions and answers.

Where can i buy these lip balms?
You can buy them from the sweet cecily's website.

How much are they to buy?
They are around £2.95.

What other flavours do they do?
earl grey,chocolate and more.

What else do cecily's sell?
Hand cream,face mask and more check out the Sweet cecily shop

Lipcote Lipstick Sealer

Lipcote

Hey everyone today i am reviewing lipcote lipstick sealer.
Yes Thats right girls a sealer for your lips which you apply after your lipstick.
Lets just face it ladies we have all been there when we have applied lipstick and gone out for the day or evening and within a few hours we have smudged lipstick, not a pretty site when our friends are taking selfies with us or photos of us Fear no more lipcote is here to save the day.

lipcote is an award winning lipstick sealer which every beauty addict should own.
lipcote is your lipsticks best friend you can't wear one without the other.

I applied my lipstick followed by lipcote at 9.15. am.
It felt really nice on the lips and was extremely easy to apply
i could feel the sealer working straight away which was a relive always good when you can feel it working.
I like the brush as it applies the product nice and evenly.
but you do have to be careful you don't knock over the product when the lid is off as it will spill everywhere.

so i will take another photo in a hour or so and post it below
and let you know how well it stayed on and if it does what it is suppose to do........




 So lets see how well it works.

Ok now its 11.30 am after drinking 2 coffees and talking to hubby etc this is how my lipstick looked.

Doesn't look to bad i did notice my lipstick came of slightly but only a small bit came off this is because i didn't blot my lipstick before applying the sealer but as you can see my lipstick still stayed in place and i didn't even apply anymore lipcote to my lips just done the one coat so im pretty impressed.

so did it work? ... yes it did only a small minute amount of my lipstick came off onto my coffee mug.

  

Views

So guys and girls i would say it does work but you may have to reapply it if your out for the whole day, or night.
because the more you use your lips the more you may need to reapply lipcote lipstick sealer.

But hey you can't go wrong for the price of £3.99, you can buy lipcote from the lipcote website.
The price is really good for what you get lipcote gives you about 100 applications meaning you do really get a lot more for your money. 

it also comes in a very nice packaging too.
i like the packaging its kinda like retro mixed with modern very snazzy.

My overall verdict on lipcote …

i would recommend this product to all beauty addicts it comes in a very nice packaging.

the brush feels nice and makes it easy to apply although you have to be careful not to spill the product. (be extra careful when the lid is off the product)

the fragrance is meant to be vanilla it does smell slightly of vanilla, but to me smells ever so slightly a bit like irish cream.

lipcote does work just that you may need to reapply it occasionally which is the slight downside.

but the great thing about lipcote is for £3.99 it doesn't break the bank i think i would pay slightly more for this product myself as i think the quality is alot better then some other thing on the market that cost more.it is very easy to use so you wont need intrustions but your bf might.

Lipcote Pros

nice packaging

price £3.99

good value for money

seals lipstick

easy to apply

Lipcote Cons

you have to reapply it occasionally

you have to be careful not to spill the product if the lid is off
