#Zoya Hot Lips review

Hopefully you all got to take advantage of the deal Zoya offered two weeks ago!  As you can see above Zoya is now offering lip products!!!!  New Zoya Hot Lips Glossy Lip Balm is now available in 40 shades and I picked up these three - pictured from left to right are Sorbet, Sweet Tart and Entourage.  The colors you see in the image are pretty true to life.

The formulation of these balms give just the right amount of color for a quick pop to the lips while offering maximum conditioning all without being sticky.  Even the most dry lip is instantly soothed with these.  Sorbet is now a constant fixture in my cosmetic bag!  See below for swatches (keeping in mind it was around midnight when I did these so I am really trying it with the facial expressions - a mess! HA!)

SORBET-my fav! its the nude I have always wanted (Still awake)

SWEET TART (getting sleepy)

ENTOURAGE (done! Sandman right at my door!)

I tried ZOYA HOT LIPS and the truth is it will be a welcome addition to your makeup bag.  With a slight hint of shimmer these will add (pardon the pun) polish to your look without looking like you are trying too hard.

Let's Examine beauty products!

So remember this post where I mentioned that I was given a great opportunity but I didnt want to reveal it yet?  Well its now time to raise the curtain:  I am now the DC Beauty Products Examiner for examiner.com!  I cover products, events and anything beauty related that is easily accessible to the residents of Washington, D.C. 

The difference between writing here on TaTB (shout out to Kia of Yummy 411 for the abbreviation) and over on examiner.com is here I can be a bit more carefree and talk about how I personally feel about a product.  So go on over and stay awhile, even better, subscribe!  :)

The other big reveal is my revamped website courtesy of the creative genius' over at WebPhotoMaster!  I love the new look and I have gotten a lot of great feedback.  Feel free to take a look and if you are an artist this is definitely the company to go with for hosting your portfolio site.  Tell them Shana Janelle sent ya!
