Review: LanaBella

I've decided that since I buy so many items off Etsy, i'd start doing short reviews for some of them!
One of my very first purchases through Heartsy was from LanaBella.
I have a lipgloss addiction, and it's very rare to come across lipgloss made in small quantities that is smooth and amazing. Most of what i've come across is sticky, goey, and horrible to use. But this stuff? AMAZING. I nabbed the Black Cherry, which has a slight tint to it, as well as the vanilla mint which goes on clear.

Black Cherry has been my favorite. It's a subtle hint of color and a gorgeous gloss. I wear it everywhere, and I will be getting more as soon as I run out! Both of these really do hold the flavor they say as well.


I also bought these Renewing Cleansing Grains. Verdict? From the description, it says
 "Suitable for all skin types, Renewing Cleansing Grains are specially formulated to gently revitalize the complexion and improve appearance by tightening the skin, removing dead cells, and uncloging pores."
Well, I have no idea what it does. Alls I know is that my face is super smooth after I use it! I have pretty sensitive skin, and this hasn't bothered me at all. Directions say to mix 1-2 teaspoons with water, but I can assure you, you need MUCH less then that, making this go pretty far!
It's a little messy, so I mix mine in a tiny container instead of my hand.

Side note. I made four purchases. The 4th was a shampoo bar. I haven't had any luck with these anywhere yet and this wasn't an exception. It didn't lather at all, and my hair felt horribly greasy and waxy after I used it, so I won't bother adding a photo. I tried it twice just to be sure. I think it would work GREAT as a dread lock shampoo though! It just left my hair covered in a thin layer of ickyness. I do have odd hair though, and it's sensitive to some products. Not all is lost, it's currently bring used as hand soap next to my sink. :-)
