INC.redible Jelly Shot Lip Quencher Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Back in 2016 I reviewed the Kailijumei Flower Jelly Lipstick.  I love the clear jelly lipsticks with the embedded flowers, they are so unique and pretty. I got the Nails Inc. INC.redible Jelly Shot Lip Quencher in _ex revenge (which is clear) in my 2018 Glossybox Advent Calendar and I’m super impressed. It also comes in a clear orange, green, pink and blue. It has no scent.

The INC.redible Jelly Shot formula has vitamin E, avocado and rice bran oil to keep my lips moisturized and it works really well. I also love the visual of this lipstick. It has gold flecks and a rose in the center of the clear lipstick.

It’s a pretty lip balm that’s meant to prime, prep and protect your lips, you can also wear under your lipstick! I love it.

Price: $10

Medusa’s Make-Up Totally Baked Eyeshadow Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I got the Medusa’s Make-Up Totally Baked Eyeshadow in Fer Sure which is a beautiful coppery brick red shade, it’s definitely a metallic which I love. I am a huge fan of the metallic shades and this one looks really nice with my green eyes. The shadow is nicely pigmented and applies smoothly. It also had nice staying power.

The Medusa’s Make-Up Totally Baked Eyeshadow line currently consists of 16 shades including some really crazy ones like the bright purple Radical and a bright green one called Tubular.

The Totally Baked Eyeshadow cost $9.00 each and you get a decent pan for that price.

Medusa’s Make-Up is a Vegan Cruelty Free brand.

Seraphine Botanicals Lychee + Gold – Healthy Glow Rose-Gold Blush Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I received a Seraphine Botanicals Lychee + Gold – Healthy Glow Rose-Gold Blush in my February 2018 Ipsy Bag.

First up this product is…

  •       99% Natural
  •       Vegan
  •       No Mineral Oil
  •       No Parabens
  •       No Phthalates
  •       Gluten-Free

What’s to love?

What I love most about this blush is that it feels light and airy on my face. I hardly feel like I’m wearing it all and it give me a bit of shimmer from the “micro gold frosting”. The color is a pinky-coral and looks great with my fair skin too.

I also love that the main ingredients is corn starch! I feel like the corn starch formula gives my face a nice smooth appearance and it does not look cakey at all.

I think this may be my new favorite blush for Spring!

NCLA Nail Polish Pink Champagne Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

The NCLA Nail Polish is new to me but I’m hooked since I received Pink Champagne in my Glossybox Pink Diamond Box.

This 100% Vegan nail polish is free from Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP, Toluene, Camphor, TPHP, OR XYLENE and Made in California.

What’s to love?

Aside from the vegan part I am loving this nail polish. The Pink Champagne shade is a light pink with a shimmery silver sheen. It goes on very smoothly and dries very fast. I found that two coats works better than one and it last a few days without chipping. When I did chip it I was able to apply a third coat to prolong the polish.

They also have a line of Holographic Shades that are gorgeous!

While it is a bit pricy I see that they have some outlet items on their site.

Price: $16

Nature’s Gate Awapuhi Ginger and Holy Basil Shampoo & Condition Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

Last week when I was at the Fresh Thyme Farmers Market I picked up the Nature’s Gate Awapuhi Ginger Holy Basil Shampoo & Conditioner because it was buy 1, get 1 free.

What’s to love?

While my go-to shampoo are the Lush Shampoo Bars I like to mix it up once in awhile and I’m always on the look out products I’ve never tried.

The Nature’s Gate Awapuhi Ginger and Holy Basil Shampoo & Conditioner  is Vegan, Non-GMO, Paraben Free, Gluten Free,  Soy Free and Cruelty Free. However the thing that really drew me in was the scent, it’s smells like Hawaii. Years ago I used the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo and really loved it.

Along with the Awapuhi Ginger it’s also got Holy Basil and Wild Cherry Bark which make for a great fragrance.

This shampoo and conditioner is a volumizing variety and it really did give my hair some lift. This isn’t something I’d use all the time because I have thick hair and too much volume really makes my hair wild. The conditioner did make my hair super easy to comb through.

Overall I’m impressed with this shampoo/conditioner combo and I’ll probably be using it  a few times per month.

Nature’s Gate also has Tea Tree + Sea Buckthorn, Aloe Vera + Macadamia Oil, Jasmine + Kombucha, Pomegranate + Sunflower, Lavender + Peony, Jojoba + Sacred Lotus, Hemp + Argan Oil, Fruit Blend Grapefruit & Wild Ginger, Herbal Blend Lemongrass & Clary Sage and a few other combos of shampoo and conditioner.
