INC.redible Foiling Around Metallic Lip Paint


INC.redible is a new to me brand that's been getting a lot of notice. They launched not too long ago in Sephora and have been selling out.

Founded by the creator of Nails inc Thea Green. It's a large line of lip colors across all formulas. I've been testing several and so far am especially liking the metallic Foiling Around.


I love anything metallic as I've mentioned numerous times and all the shimmering  lip products out make me a happy girl. INC.redible's are deeply pigmented , very metal with full coverage in a matte formula. These feel comfy on lips, have some flex  and give a lot of look that lasts long .


I have two shades- Call My Cab- a bronzed plum and My Dirty Brain- a bright copper. 


The price points here are a big selling point. Each is only $10 and they are very similar to a few other more expensive metallic lips I have. The downside, they sell fast. Right now they are sold out online @ INC.redible but you can be updated when they are back in stock.  

While  you're there look around, I am also really liking their semi matte Pushing Everyday lipstick and the Jelly Shots.

Dove Exfoliating Body Polish



Getting Winter weary skin in shape just got a lot easier with Dove's new Exfoliating Body Polish.

The brand's first body scrub is a thick, whipped cream and has plenty of scrubbing particles to slough off dead skin . But being Dove, it's still gentle on skin too as it has their signature 1/4 moisturizing cream . After using my skin feel much smoother and softer but not dry , tight or overscrubbed. 


There are three scents to choose from- Pomegranate Seeds & Shea Butter , Crushed Macadamia & Rice Milk and Kiwi Seeds & Cool Aloe.  All smell great . Pomegranate is berry and fruity, Macadamia creamy and nutty , and Kiwi is cool and fresh.  All have moisturizers like shea butter , macadamia seed oil or  aloe vera . 

Each comes in a large 10.5 oz tub that will last awhile. 


Dove Exfoliating Body Polish are $ 5.99 each at Target and Amazon

Cover Girl Lid Lock Up Eyeshadow Primer


I melt eye makeup at warp speed. Seriously sometimes it starts to fade before I even get out the door depending on formula/brand. It's nuts but true. So a good base is important for me but... many of them don't really make much of a difference for me. 

Enter Cover Girl's new Lid Lock Up Primer.  Did  I think this would be the primer that works better than most I've used? Heck no. But it is. When I use this my eyeshadow lasts far longer.  Most days I've gotten the whole day into evening which is amaze for me. Other times it's been  midday / late afternoon , again depending on brand. (For longest  wear I use mostly MAC , Chanel and NARS). 

  With this I dab some product on lids from the wand  and give it a couple seconds to set.  The thin formula  dries fast and shadow glides right  over it. I don't see any difference in the color or depth of shadow when using this. Shadow looks the same as always, just lasts a lot longer. 

If you're a primer user and have been buying the more expensive ones you might want to give this a try  and possibly save yourself a few dollars. For the more fun things, like shoes and lipstick. 

Cover Girl Lid Lock Up Eyeshadow Primer is $ 7.99 at drugstores and Amazon

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25HR Breathable Foundation


We love it when a drugstore brand performs as well as high end right? Rimmel  does it with their new Lasting Finish 25HR Breathable Foundation.

This new foundation is creamy and blends well. It is a thicker formula so you need to work it in Just a bit. It feels very comfortable  and light on skin,  not heavy or cakey. 


Coverage is medium and for me it covered all that I needed with the exception of under eye area . I prefer good coverage leaning towards full and this worked well. It is  slightly buildable  and added layers don't look overdone. I use 2 layers to get the coverage I like.

The finish is satin . It's not overly dewy but not matte.  There is no shimmer, or glow but skin does look perfected and softened. It's lightly moisturizing ( with glycerin but no oils in the ingredients) and on my combo to slightly dry skin it's been great. I've worn it every day for a week without a lot of oil breakthrough on the T Zone except for a little on my nose. A midday powder touch up was all I needed.

The foundation lasted all day into evening and can I tell you how nice that is? I can melt off makeup far too easily so I'm always on the lookout for something that makes at least most of the day.  By the time I got home in the evening it was  still looking good most days.

The wand that comes with is a bit of a clunker. It's very big. I dab the foundation on with it but blend in with hands. 


Rimmel Lasting Finish 25HR Breathable Foundation comes in 16 shades . Shown are Classic Ivory and Light Nude and is  approx.$ 7.99 at Amazon and drugstores, Target etc.
