Bobbi Brown Lip Crayons : Review & Swatches

I've been all over Lip Pencils for a while now. We saw Lipstick Queen China Town Glossy Lip Pencils, then we saw the Avon Big Color Glossy Lip Pencils and now its Bobbi Brown ! Little did I know Lip Crayons would be big this fall ! Are we the trend makers or what !


Unlike the two other pencils which were super glossy, the Bobbi Brown Lip Crayons are more matte and opaque. I dare not pull these outta my bag on a dry winter evening when I'm struggling with chapped lips. I'd rather store it and use it at its full potential on well exfoliated, smooth lip days. The shade I tried was Raisin Berry - a total Fall / Winter darling. Gosh, I love Fall / Winters. I love bundling up in coats, getting out my pretty scarves and above all not look odd, wearing dark lipsticks.

The Lip Crayons come with a sharpener and are available in six shades: Honeysuckle, Coral Pink, Raisin Berry, Posey, Dusty Nude, Wild Rose. If you are at Nordstrom any time soon, check out these crayons and let me know which shade was your favorite.

Wait, that's not all. There is lot more where this came from.


This September, Bobbi Brown will be coming out with a glamorous Metallic Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow Collection ! I'm thinking this will be just the product for glossy model-esque eye lids. The shadows will be available in 8 shades: Chrome Patina, Brown Metal, Starry Night, Black Pearl, Starry Purple, Antique Gold, Goldstone and Mercury. So exciting !

“With these shadows there’s no need to choose function over style. They’re long-wearing and come in the most glamorous eye-catching shades ever.”
– Bobbi Brown

Speaking of eyes. Remember this song form the 90's ? I was making coffee this morning and suddenly the song popped in my head. Its been over a decade since I even thought of it !

The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion

For the past year I've been using a mystery product to dry up pimples and fade the blemish it might have left. One whole year. And just last week I realized the product was a Tea Tree Oil based one. Some times I'm like that. I'll make my mind up that it was made of Salicylic Acid and it will be a year before I realize its Tea Tree Oil.

T.E.A T.R.E.E O.I.L

The Tree Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion is now available 2 for $18. Originally its retails for $18 per product. Aint that bloody brilliant ( that's my London based alter ego)


It was when I sniffed this little bottle that I realized the story behind my mystery product. Once you get past the unique smell, there is no reason to not like this lotion. Its totally non greasy. As non greasy as fries rolled in paper towel and twisted to squeeze out the oil.

The two important ingredients in it are the Lemon tea tree and Community Trade tea tree oil from Kenya which contain anti-bacterial properties that help fight blemishes and prevent new ones from forming. The other essential ingredient is Tamanu oil from Madagascar which has a soothing effect and helps to calm irritation and redness.

Thanks to some chocolate overdose from baking cookies for a friend I broke out on my right cheek. Three days of continuous application and there was a marked difference on the state on those suckers. They shriveled, sunk, weakened and drew back from fighting the almighty Tea Tree.

For $9 I am super happy with this product. Its a dream formula for gorgeous oily skinned women. For a dry skinned beauty ( hey, I called you gorgeous) like me, its still a miracle product coz it moisturizes and soothes my skin apart from putting those red suckers in its place.

Price - $18 (1.0 fl oz)
Purchase - Thebodshop-usa.com , The Body Shop stores
Purpose - Blemish Fade, Oil Free Lotion
Position - Have you tried any product from the Tea Tree Line ? If not, you must !

Meals For The Heels Mask - Oatmeal For Your Feet !

Y'all know I love oatmeal , right ?

No ?

Well, I do. And if you don't, then you've got to check out my Breakfast Oatmeal Recipe here. Its a power packed super yumm breakfast !

Since this is my daily routine I usually have huge boxes of Oatmeal ready in my kitchen and am always looking for new ways to use it up. This is a tip I got recently from Skyy Hadley of As “U” Wish Nail Spa.- A Meals For The Heels Mask. Loves the name ! And, it uses my Oatmeal !

This Is What We Do

Take one cup of regular oatmeal and 1/2 cup of regular milk and heat up over the stove, stir until cooked. Add sugar to thicken the mixture, and then let it cool off a bit. When the mix is thickened, apply to your feet.

Leave the mask on for about 5 - 10 minutes.

The oatmeal soothes dry, itchy or irritated skin, while the sugar acts as an exfoliant to help get rid of dry and dead skin cells. Finish off with pure shea butter as a moisturizer and you’re all set.

I am a total slacker when it comes to feet. I wash it regularly (OCD -ly) but don't pamper it as often. Must get working on that. Plus isn't this a good addition to our Natural Week !

Love,
Indian Girl
