My Lucite Dreams

The Mighty Shine Lip Gel from Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics is a high shine gloss with sheer color. A brand new shade of the Lip Gels was released in Youngblood’s recent Summer Collection called New Flaunt, descirbed as a brilliant pink with gold shimmer. New Flaunt is a perfect pairing for their Dragon Fruit Lipstick released in this collection as well.

The Mighty Shine Lip Gel contains powerful antioxidants to help protect lips against premature aging. Jojoba Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oils help to condition the skin. The formula is big on shine and feels very nourishing to the lips. The gloss is on the tacky side, similar to the MAC Lip glasses, which ultimately provides longer wear. Though they are said to have vanilla scent, I can’t quite detect any smell at all and I am certainly not complaining.

The Mighty Shine Lip Gel comes in a squeeze tube that I only wish had a wider tip. It is suggested to dispense the desired amount of product before applying. If you squeeze as you go the suction will pull a bit on your lip.

New Flaunt is a sheer bright pink with gold shimmer. The shimmer allows the gloss to shine even more brilliantly and doesn’t migrate of feel grainy on the lips. I’ve been wearing New Flaunt almost every day since receiving it several weeks ago, both alone and layered over a lipstick. I love the Lip Gel formula, especially for its longevity of wear and recommend it to any lip gloss lover.

Mont Bleu is one of the top manufacturers of glass nail files created from high quality Czech tempered glass. They offer a wide variety of files in different sizes, colors and designs with Swarovski embellishments. They also offer a selection of beauty supplies including tweezers, cosmetic mirrors as well as jewelry all decorated with Swarovski crystals.

I have been very eager to try a crystal nail file, so when Mont Bleu offered to send me some samples for review, I immediately responded with a yes. I have grown somewhat tired of buying and replacing my standard emery boards with such frequency. My nails, as of recently, have weakened and I have heard that glass files are a great option for those with fragile nails. My introduction to the world of glass nail files couldn’t have come at a better time, honestly.

Mont Bleu glass nail files are visually quite beautiful. The file featured here is from the ‘Crystal’ line and is 5.32 in. in length. I am a big fan of the gradient shading and the Swarovski elements are a lovely touch. The crystal file feels far less abrasive than your standard file. I was surprised to find how effectively it filed my nails with slightest of pressure. The file left my nails completely smooth and ready for polish. The best part is, the file should last me for years to come, that is if I am careful with it. Considering it is made of high quality tempered glass it should be quite durable. I have heard stories if glass files breaking the moment it touches your fingernail. I have been using these for several weeks, dropped them a few times in their plastic case and luckily they are still with me. 

I had a wonderful experience using Mont Bleu nail files. They are a great option for those with fragile nails or anyone who want a great nail file that is easy to use and lasts. They also make a great gift!

Mont Bleu nails file run from about $5 to $15 and are available here.

Rouge Bunny Rouge is a Moscow/London-based brand that you might not be familiar with, yet. This cult favorite brand is quickly gaining attention all over the beauty world. Along with whimsical and fantastical detailing and design, the brand delivers quality with “first-class ingredients.” Rouge Bunny Rouge “promises to enhance natural beauty” while “blurring the lines between make-up and skin care.” discover

When Birds are Singing Long-lasting Eye Shadow’s come in a selection of 28 shades, each with the name of the bird whose song it inspired. Each shadow contains 2 grams and is housed in a black plastic compact decorated by a single white dandelion seed. The shadow is embossed with the R and R logo. A mirror is located under the lid.

Bohemian Waxing is described as an iridescent bronzed champagne and in the pot that seems a perfect description. However, once swatched, the shade reads more taupe on me, especially on the eye. I am sure the shade will translate differently on other skin tones. The Long-lasting Eye Shadow formula is a stunner, with a soft and creamy quality. It melts into skin beautifully, blending into your skin’s natural texture. A light wash of shadow provides a luminous and almost wet appearance. The shadow layers well for more dramatic look. The micro-fine shimmer particles glisten beautifully

My first taste of the Rouge Bunny Rouge has me quite impressed and further intrigued to discover what other beauties this brand has to offer.
