Pretty Girl Makeup Review

Every now and then I like to indulge in simple pleasures, which usually involves me buying some sort of makeup. It's a cost-effective way to help me feel a little spoiled.  I love trying new makeup, which is one of the main reasons why I started this blog, so when I saw a listing for Pretty Girl Makeup on Bloggerdise, I reached out to owner Christina to see if I could review her products.


I received a Soul Mates lipgloss and Yummy Mummy Cream to try.  Christina let me know that the gloss is a favorite of Miley Cyrus.  I tried to swatch the gloss, but it really wasn't worth posting because the gloss is not colored.  It's a very pretty shimmer, and it reminds me of the glosses I used to buy when I was younger.  You're never too old for a cute lipgloss, though!  The only thing I disliked just a bit was that the formula is very thick; I ended up applying too much when I first used it.  But the upside of that is a little goes a long way.


I love the branding for Pretty Girl Makeup.  You can see their logo on this photo of the gloss, it's so cute!  The gloss comes in three other colors: Oh Honey! - a nice gold shimmer, Love Of My Life! - bronze with a hint of mauve, and You're a Doll! - a frosty pale pink.  They retail for $18.


The Yummy Mummy cream is an Aloe Vera Shea Butter Cream, and was created for mothers to help with stretch marks, swollen feet, and dry skin.  It has a delicious vanilla sugar scent, and the texture is smooth and creamy.  It moisturizes really well, but I can't comment on whether or not it helps with stretch marks because I don't currently have any.  You can get an 8 ounce supply for $27.

Bottom Line: I have really enjoyed using the Yummy Mummy cream.  The scent is perfectly soothing and just sweet enough, and the texture is perfectly creamy.  The lip gloss has a pretty color and has a good moisture factor, but is a bit too thick for me.  Overall, I think Pretty Girl Makeup is a great company!
