I love all things beauty. My sister is a professional makeup artist, so because of this my own makeup collection is intense. I first got introduced to Jaqua beauty products about 5 years ago or so. Jaqua makes body butters, lotions, shower gels, lip gloss and more. So when I saw the Jaqua Pink Buttercream Frosting Lip Gloss Ring, I knew I had to add it to my extensive lip gloss collection. How cute is this ring?! It’s a plastic one size fits most type of ring, that you may have played with when you were a kid.

Except the top flips open to reveal a pretty shimmery pink solid lip gloss. The lip gloss is creamy and smooth, it’s a pretty medium pink color with a dash of coral, it has a slight sparkle to the formula and it glides on smooth. Not to mention it smells soooo good! It does smell very similar to buttercream frosting! Minus the calories. This ring is so cute. This would be a perfect little stocking stuffer, or even gifts to give away to bridesmaids. It’s only $9.99 at PinkCherry.com which is a great deal, because I have spent more on lesser quality lip products. The color applies mostly sheer, with a soft pinkish color to the lips and I love that I can wear this gloss as a ring or simply throw it into my purse. Cute!!
In staying with the theme of yumminess, I also tried the Raspberry Buttercream Frosting Lip Whip Gloss. This lip gloss comes in a standard lip gloss tube rather than a ring, like the above gloss. It comes with a standard doe-foot lip applicator, and the tube is a nice size, rather than like a lot of skinny lipgloss tubes that retail for twice the price. This gloss is pretty! It’s mostly sheer, but it has a pinky-red raspberry color that is slightly shimmery, and is very build-able. If you’d prefer a sheer stain of color, one application will do. If you want more color, just apply another coat or two and the color will be more noticeable. The scent is yummy, it smells like fresh sugared raspberries. You can’t really smell much of the “buttercream” scent in this particular gloss, as I think the raspberry scent overpowers it a bit much. No complaints here though, the scent is still very nice. I really like the feel of this lip gloss formula as it isn’t too tacky or sticky like some glosses tend to be, and it’s not thin or runny, so the color does have staying power. You can get your hands on a .24 oz tube of this yummy lip whip at Pink Cherry for $16.99

I’ve reviewed some Evolved Novelties toys in the past, and one of my favorite things about EN toys, is that they are affordable. Now, I’ll admit,I am a bit of a toy snob, and some of my favorite toys are quite pricey, but generally you get what you pay for. Meaning quality toys often come at a higher price. Evolved Novelties is a fun company that offers cute toys that are generally under $40. Which is a nice price range for those who don’t want to compromise their sexual satisfaction just because we are in a recession. The Diamond Lustre is one of Evolved Novelties g-spot vibes. This toy is small, very discreet, and it’s actually cute. Made of a satiny smooth velvet cote type of material, this toy is curved at the head for G-spot stimulation. The base of the toy is circled with rhinestones. This toy is part of EN’s Diamond Edition toy collection. One of the things I like about Evolved Novelties toys is that they all come in a tin box. Cute packaging and presentation which makes this affordable toy feel like a splurge even though it’s really a steal (shhh, don’t tell your wallet!). This toy offers multiple speeds, and is even waterproof. Though I would not suggest submerging this baby in water. It’s perfectly safe for shower use though. You can clean this toy quite easily too, using anti-bacterial soap and water or your fav toy cleaner. Since this toy isn’t made of silicone, it’s made of a type of smooth plastic material, so to make clean up even easier, you can even slip this little guy into a condom!
Diamond Lustre works nicely. It’s vibrations are not extremely intense, but this toy is small and quite discreet, so you can carry it in your purse for wank-off sessions on the go. This toy is pretty quiet. It’s not something that can be heard through a closed door, but it may be able to be heard in a silent room, so keep that in mind if you have roomies. The head of this toy is pretty small, so while it’s a nice toy to warm your G-spot up with, it wasn’t a toy that really rocked my G-spot the way I wanted it to be down. If you’re a G-spot beginner, this could actually be ideal for you though, as the toy’s curved end will help you locate and stimulate your special area. This toy can also be used on the clit. Just swirl or flick the curved end against your clit. This sex toy is a good deal for the price, but if you’re a G-spot pro, you’ll want to skip this toy and go for one of the big boys such as the Njoy Pure Wand or the Bswish Bgee.
