Reddy All Day Kiss Tattoo Red Kiss


I was skeptical at first trying Reddy All Day Kiss Tattoo Lip tint since it’s such a different way of application. The packaging is simply adorable, but since it’s all in Korean and comes with no instruction pamphlet, you will have to look online to know how to use it. Luckily, my order came with a separate packet of adverts of other products and instructions for this very lip tint. The first thing I noticed was the smell of the lip tint once I opened it. It’s got a very strong chemical scent and it’s very off putting. If you can ignore the pungent smell long enough, you can begin to apply the lip tint “goo”.

The applicator is a semi-soft pliable plastic that holds a lot of product, but doesn’t really apply evenly over the lips. I gave it a couple goes, and I was able to cover my entire lips. The instructions online say to wait for 10 minutes before peeling off the product. The color I chose was Red Kiss and the mask looks like a Halloween-ish bloody red. Do not touch your lips or move them whatsoever or it will start to peel off too soon, which required me starting over again. It was oddly satisfying to pull off the dried mask and reveal that there was a medium red stain on my lips. The peel is very gentle. I noticed that it stained darker in my problem dry areas of my lips but overall, I love the results. I found it to be semi-transfer proof and only a little transfer if I wetted my lips and kissed my hand.

After wearing it for one work day, it had faded considerably, but was still noticeable. I did not feel any extra drying or discomfort while wearing the tint. I would recommend that you scrub your lips and have nothing on them before application since the point of this product is to set and tint your lips. However, if your lips feel dry you could always place a balm over to moisturize.  After looking over the ingredient list, which took some searching to find, I am on the fence whether to continue use.

Unilever Mystery Box

Salutations Cuppy Cakes, 



I thankfully have been able to participate in a sampling with all sorts of Unilever goodies! Having been a long-time user of different products from Unilever, it was not hard to get excited. Since it was a random selection of products I didn't know what I was going to get, but once it arrived I happily found out that everything included was a new product to me. 
In the box:

1 Suave Professionals Hairspray Touchable Finish Extra Hold Aerosol

1 Suave Professionals Hairspray Touchable Finish Extra Hold (Non-Aerosol)


1 Degree Women MotionSense Antiperspirant Deodorant - Daisy Fresh


1 Degree Women MotionSense Antiperspirant Deodorant - Sheer Powder

*All products are linked above!




So, let’s start out with the hairsprays, the first being Suave Professionals Hairspray Touchable Finish Extra Hold AerosolSince my hair is pin-straight and stubborn, I found the hairspray works wonders in maintaining curls. I noticed Suave updated the look of their old packaging from the previous pink design and name Touchable Finish hairspray, but since this is my first time using it I can’t attest to a difference. I do know however that it provides amazing, long-lasting hold and works great if you want to create that beachy wave hair and have it last.

I think it lives up to its name with a touchable and non-crunchy formula. It's not sticky and has an amazing fresh scent that you smell faintly on your hair. I also found that with tighter curls, this only lasts so long, so I would invest in the #4 firm control hairspray for that particular hairstyle. This hairspray is great for everyday use like calming fly-aways or loose curls. I would also choose the aerosol can over the typical one because I feel it sprays more evenly, is buildable, and grants more control. 



The second one, Suave Flexible Control Finishing Hairspray in the non-aerosol bottle, is basically the same hairspray just a different packaging. First of all, I can’t discount the fact that using non-aerosol bottle is better for the environment. However, there are several reasons why this one would be my second choice, for when the aerosol can isn’t available. While the formula is the same, but I found that it does spray out more product than I would like. Not something I couldn’t adapt to though, like by holding it out a little further so too much product doesn’t set in one spot. I personally love using this for fly-aways by spraying at least twice on my fingers and applying to those unruly little hairs. The formula is true to its name and is not sticky nor crunchy, and is easy to manage especially when creating soft beachy curls. I absolutely love the scent as well. It is more potent when you first spray, but once it settles its faint and leaves your hair smelling floral and fresh.
I’ve also tried both of the Degree products over the last two weeks, and found each to be just as effective as the other, but with different scents. I feel that I truly put Daisy Fresh Degree MotionSense to the test, switching away from my usual clinical strength deodorant. I am pretty impressed, and I was initially skeptical about its protection and long-lasting effectiveness. Since I have gotten older, my PH level has changed too. Once upon a time, normal (non-clinical) deodorants use to work for me, but now I need something that will work and last all day. I work with little children, so I am always on the go and I need a deodorant that can truly work. I found that after grueling hours of chasing little ones my deodorant was still on and smelled great. The invisible solid has yet to leave white stains on my black scrubs. I also love the design of the stick because it gave me something that I could fully hold on too and reach under my shirt.  Overall, I loved the fresh floral scent and how well the deodorant worked for me. I will continue use it and I'm really looking forward to trying the other scents.
Goes on sheer!

I have come to love Degree MotionSense in Sheer Powder after using the other scented stick. At first glance, I thought this one wouldn’t have a scent, but it has a light citrus and freesia scent.  As with the Daisy Fresh version, after long hours the deodorant still smells fresh and I find no need to reapply it at all. It also has the same great packaging that makes it really easy to apply under a shirt. Overall, I love the MotionSense line of deodorants and will continue to use them, while looking forward to trying other scents!
