Product Push: Maybelline Color Whisper

I am a self proclaimed Gloss Girl. I am addicted to lip gloss. I wear it everywhere, even might I say, to the gym. I love the juicy look it gives my lips and if there is moisturizing benefits, all the better! I also love my glosses to have a tint of color. While most of us cannot always wear a bold lip on an everyday basis, I for one, cannot show up to the office with a coral matte hue painted on my pucker, so alas I am always drawn to tinted balms that not only give off sheen but at a kiss of color. My new obsession, and Im sure it will be yours, is Maybelline Color Whisper by Color Sensational. Advertised as a “gel” color, these delish lipstick like tubes offer an array of 20 colors from barely there pink to a berry stain that is perfect for the upcoming fall season. They are moisturizing which is a bonus for the cold months and have a refreshing minty taste, so it’s like putting on a chapstick, but with a hint of color. Note here, that you can build color with these lipsticks, at first swipe they are sheer, perfect for a day look, and a few more swishes and they can prove to be your go to lip color for a night out. I hope you give these a try, at $10 or less at your local drugstore, these are a lust and a must!

So Sodalicious!





I’m the girl that washes her hair everyday….however with my new luscious auburn hair color, it was advised that I wash every other day. So alas, since I did fork out a pretty penny to get my hair this delish color, I will try to follow the directions of my colorist. I am also the girl that gets build up in her hair from excess product. So according to many kitchen beauticians, the remedy is this: Mix about 1 tsp of baking soda with your shampoo, and massage it into your scalp. This baking soda helps to break up the oils and build up leaving your scalp clear of icky stuff.  

Note: Baking soda is also a mild exfoliant so it also works when mixed into your fave face wash to scrub away dead skin! BONUS! Hope this works for you!
