April Faves & Fails

I didn't get a whole lot of new products the past few months, and the new stuff I got recently I'm still trying out, so it won't be mentioned here (yet).


Fails first!

Burt's Bees Tinted Balm~ I have two of these, one in a pale pink, the other in a rich berry shade, neither has much pigmentation. I know a tinted balm isn't supposed to be solid pigmentation, but expected more. The pink is actually more tinted/pigmented than the berry, which is pretty much non existent on my lips. I could get over that, but the balm isn't very good either. I have one lipstick from the new line, and it's more moisturizing than the balms (still lightly pigmented however). I remember Burt's Bees being better than this, so I don't know if the formula changed or what went wrong, but these are a fail. 

Au Naturale Lip Gloss~ This was bad, like really bad. It smells off, feels weird on the lips, and doesn't apply nicely at all /is patchy.  
I will say that the cream blush from this brand was nice, not a fave, but it was a solid B+ product.

Lorac Alter Ego Lip Gloss~ This feels great on the lips, and was very moisturizing. The issue was that when first applied the color was beautiful, but within 20min it was gone (Where did it go?). The moisturizing effect lasted most of the day, so maybe it was a color issue (Flower Child) and maybe not. At $16.00 each, I'm not willing to gamble on Lorac Lip Gloss (again).


Faves!
 
Living Proof Dry Shampoo~ This one shocked me, I wasn't super happy to get another dry shampoo from Birchbox, but this is awesome! It doesn't have any filmy, funky residue, and my hair looked clean, and more full with lots more volume. I may like this more than the Amika Perk Up dry shampoo.


That's all I've got this month. What were your faves & fails for the month?


Have a great day!
