Softlips Lip Tint review

I love Big Lots for my make-up. For some reason, the Big Lots near me carries so much more e.l.f. products than the local Target.

Anyway, I grabbed these Softlips liptints because they made me smile, remembering how they were the coolest thing in middle school. They were a buck fifty, so why not.

The two colors are Sultry (the brown) and Sweet (pink). They have a spf of 15, so that's nice.

I want to love these. I used to love Vanilla Softlips. But these smell like those chewable Flintstones multivitamins that my mom had to force down my throat when I was a kid. Yuckkkk. They also have so much shimmer, they're both very frosty and almost purely white. :(

As for their moisturizing power, they don't seem to do much. Maybe the shimmer prevents moisture from coming through.

Pros:
SPF 15
Very cheap

Cons:
The smell
Not very moisturizing
So frosty, like for a middle schooler

I can't even rate this. It's pointless, I'm sorry. Probably what I get for buying something based solely on nostalgia.

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Strength Reconstructing Butter review

Hey! I'm back!

After all these months of stress and daily life, I finally have a minute to post :)

So I'm trying out the Damage Eraser from Garnier Fructis. It's a brand new line and I'm going to be honest, I only picked it up because it's orange. I love orange. 

Anyway, it cost about $8.00 from CVS. It smells like... something sweet and fruity, but not the usual Garnier Fructis scent. It's almost annoyingly sweet. Like... Laffy Taffy, in orange flavor.

This reconstructing butter promises to "intensely reconstruct hair's strength for strong, rejuvenated hair." Whew. Big words. I've been using this for about a month now, once a week, and the jar is almost gone.

The consistency is like mayonnaise, thick and buttery. It stays on my hair very well without sliding off. I massage it into my hair and leave it on for about 5 minutes, then rinse and air dry.

Pros: Leaves my hair soft, detangled, and shiny. My split ends don't show up as much. For some reason, this product gives my hair VOLUME. Woo!

Cons: I can't stand the smell. It stays after my hair has been rinsed and dried. Other reviewers say they like the smell, but I'm not too into smelling über sweet. It also doesn't seem to do much more than regular conditioner. Maybe I should try leaving it in for 15 - 20 minutes, but I don't really have time for that. It also seems to be the kind of deep conditioner that leaves a film on my hair. My hair just feels ....smooth in a filmy way.

TL;DR : Makes my hair soft and fluffy and kinda shiny, but for the obnoxious smell, I'm not sure it's worth it. Seriously, I smell it just by turning my head either way.

My rating: 7/10
