Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment and Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment

I

I am just absolutely in love with these lip treatments. These were from the Sephora birthday gift I got last year and I didn't open it until now! o_o

These two are the most popular selling lip treatments from Fresh. It includes the Sugar Lip Treatment with SPF 15, and a tinted rose lip treatment that also has SPF 15 in it. First off, the packaging is so pretty. To open these lippies, you have to twist the screw top which is so functional and smart so lids won't go flying off in your handbag. Brilliant.

The texture of these treatments are both identical. They glide on very smoothly and has a very hydrating formula. It's formulated with lots of natural oils (blackcurrent being one of them), fatty acids and real sugar. The oils really provide a lot of nourishment and my lips feel incredible with it on. 

They claim to be free of petroleum, mineral oil and lanolin which are the main ingredients in most commercial lip balms. Because it's formulated without those ingredients, both treatments are actually very soft. If you're in warm weather, these can melt very easily. 

Scent-wise, it has a really bright lemon-y scent that isn't overwhelming. It's quite refreshing and reminds me of lemon bars. 

Here are the swatches. The sugar lip treatment is really glossy and pretty. The tinted rose one has a really pretty, very subtle color. So pretty!

Between the two, if I were to choose one, I would choose the tinted one. Essentially they feel identical on my lips and one isn't more hydrating than the other so I'd definitely go with color ;)

The only con I have with these is the melt factor. Because it's so natural, you also have to be aware that these can melt in warm weather. I ran them across my lips and I can feel it melting from the tube! 

These lip treatments are on the pricier side and run about $22.50 each for the full size. It's definitely a splurge but they are just irresistible!

Do you like these lip treatments? :)

April in Photos

I bought a new body milk that comes in a glass milk bottle! I've been loving it! 

The month of April was also strawberry month. Tons of these sweet berries were on sale everywhere. This was an abnormally huge strawberry haha!

I also had a caffeine-free taro latte for the first time. It was so nice tasting. Definitely a sweet pick me up.

I also took an impromptu trip home to spend some time with my family. The plane home had spectacular views of the sun rise.

I took my mother out to get a latte after work, which was definitely a treat we both enjoy :) 

Here is my mom's Spanish latte :) delicious!

We also decided to go to Vegas for the weekend! Took a selfie Just as we were waiting for our coffee to arrive. My brother and my mother :)

We did a lot of eating in Vegas! I mean why else do you go with family right?! :) except for my brother and I - we had some scotch, and busied the tables when my mom was back at the hotel ;)

After a nice weekend away, we drove back to LA! Home sweet home.

See you soon, Vegas!

It was back to work for my mom on Monday. She runs a daycare from home so she gets to care for a bunch of cute babies! Look at him...isn't he just so adorable?! He's 2 months old.

And him too. Charming little boy! 

Monday evening, I flew back to NorCal. Miss my family already!
