Sonia Kashuk Lip Crayon (Target)

I have some of the Sonia Kashuk makeup brushes, and I have to say that I really like them a lot. Mind you - I am not a total make up girl and am in fact pretty clueless.

When I saw the lip crayon the other day, however, I got really excited. For a good long time I used a lip matte stick from Origins and loved it! Until they discontinued my color. And then I didn't like having to go to the department store to get it (kids ruin everything). And it was $13.50. BUT it did last a long time.
I grabbed this Sonia Kashuk lip crayon and loved it. It wasn't as matte as the Origins stick, but it felt good, looked great - good color selection (for me, but I lean pretty neutral). And it was $7.99. 

Cons: I feel like it wears off somewhat quickly, but if you layer with other lip products you will be in pretty good shape. Also, and related, it is high maintenance - you need to sharpen it every couple of days as it wears through pretty fast.

Good in a pinch, but I think next time I am at the mall I'll just hit the ol' Origins counter and find a new color.

Update: Bounce Dryer Bar

Thumbs up from me!

I still used a little softener in the wash - maybe like 1/3 to 1/2 capful and then the rest of the cap with water, but it was mostly because I really started to dig the blended scent of the Bounce bar and the liquid softener.

Definitely a great scent (outdoor fresh), and lasted the full 2 months, just about. (Heavy laundry with spring cleaning and a potty training, occasional pants-pee-er). The bar wears down and you'll see when you need to replace it.

Who doesn't like yummy smelling clothes? Go get one - you're sure to like it!
