LOTD #12 and The Ducks

Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick

Full-coverage conditioning color infused with fruit enzymes and a blend of natural oils for lips that are visibly fuller, softer and smoother.

Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick in Plum Intrigue

I made a recent Avon order to pick up some of their Spring nail polish shades, and grabbed one of these new lipsticks (they are $5 right now). I was curious to see if it might be balm-like, which is all the rage right now with lipstick, and it is! 

I don't think I would call this full-coverage.... in fact, I think it's kind of sheer. But it feels great and leave my lips so moist, even after it has worn off. Since it's balmy, it doesn't last more than 2 hours or so, but I really like it.

Branson Report:

We were a bit sad that it was a bit chilly during the rest of our stay in Branson. But there are still fun things to do! We decided to Ride the Ducks.  The Ducks are amphibious vehicles based on the classic WWII DUKW. This was our second time and we had a fabulous drive who told us funny stories and filled us with lots of history. It was a great ride and well worth the ticket price.

You may remember that the kids and I often suffer from Carcolepsy, which causes us to fall asleep pretty quickly in the car. And WC also has Duckcolepsy I guess. After just 10 minutes or so, I looked over and this is what I saw!

But she rallied in time to take her turn to drive in the water.

And see these quackers...... I am losing them.... tonight! Enough!

LOTD #11 and Empties

2 lipsticks in 1 BlastFlipstick! Flip your look from day to night, soft to bright, with BlastFlipstick's double-ended lipstick duos. With a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it's two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one!

CoverGirl Blast Flipstick in Vixen

In December, I joined a BzzAgent campaign for CoverGirl and received this lipstick to try and review.  I was really pleased with this one- it is long-wearing! Very long-wearing. I don't find the Blast Flipstick to be drying at all- in fact, it is very creamy yet it don't run into the lines around my lips. These retail for around $8.50.

 (Dear FTC- note my disclosure- I received this 

lipstick for review.)

And a few empties:

Bath and Body Works Country Chic Body Lotion

This is my all-time favorite scent and I love this so much I could drink it! This retails for $11, but I only buy when they are having deals like they are right now- Buy 3 Get 2 Free.

John Frieda Root Awakening Strength Boosting Leave In Spray

It appears that this might have been reformulated since I last bought it- the only leave-in in this line is now called Lift + Refresh Root Spray. (Which I might like even better!) The product I had just seemed to be a detangler, but if the new one boosts roots..... that would be even better. It retails for $6.50 and there are often $1-2 coupons in the Sunday paper for John Frieda products.

While we were in Branson, I taught WC the art of the George Washington hairstyle- where you bend your head forward in the pool and let all your hair go over your face, then fold the hair back once you lift your head out of the water. She thought it was great and we did it about a million times. So cute! Did you do this?
