Fenty Gloss Bomb Review

This post contains affiliate links, which means we may receive a commission for purchases made through our links.

Recently, I purchased the Fenty Beauty: Universal Lip Luminizer Gloss Bomb (try saying that 3 times) in Diamond Milk. After my initial application, I was immediately brought back to my 7th grade blue eye shadow + frosted lips days. Even though I’m always trying to chase my youth, that was not the look I was going for #immediateregret. I went back to the mothership (Sephora) and exchanged Diamond Milk for Fenty Glow, a shimmering rose nude.

Rihanna claims this is the “unicorn of nudes, explosive shine, and nourishing wear” and what better place to try it out than a good ole family get together. I applied MAC “whirl” lip liner all over my lips and then topped them “Fenty Glow”.So then, the test began…

Something to note – it comes to planning parties in our family, the most important topic is liquor quantity and what to serve to sustain the masses. At my nephew’s ONE-derful Birthday Bash, we had to supply enough food to feed a small country and their neighboring territories. Our Menu was a mix of Lao/Thai/Viet cuisine with a special appearance of Que Viet’s famous eggrolls (shout out to Vy whoop whoop).

From eating sandwiches, stews, salads, desserts, I forgot I had any product on my lips. So the verdict? This Gloss Bomb definitely lived up to the hype. It was long-lasting, hydrating, smooth/not sticky, and I only applied another layer at 11pm to “freshen” up.

Throwing this gloss into my daily glam routine.

Wilde Jalapeno Chicken Chips Review

I think it’s safe to say that a lot of us have a love/hate relationship with carbs. We love to eat them but we hate how sometimes the bad carbs can make us feel. One of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to carbs is eating chips. I literally cannot say no to a bag of chips. There’s something about the crunchy, salty, oily combo that throws me off any type of diet wagon…EVERY TIME. Queue Wilde’s Chicken Chips. I walked past the display at Whole Foods and was like W(here’s)T(he)F(ood) I gotta try these. Low carb, four flavors, three ingredients?!?! At first I was having low carb flashbacks of those Quest chips (*cough*so dry and felt like I was eating cardboard*cough*) but since I’ve made it a point to find the perfect low carb chip alternative, I just needed those in my life. Four dollars later, I popped open bag of these babies and tried the Jalapeno variety. First impression – loved it! It pretty much tastes like low fat deep fried chicken skin with a sprinkling of jalapeno to give it a kick. There’s a slight sweetness from the coconut oil it’s fried in so it’s a nice balance from the saltiness of the chicken skin and jalapeno. I don’t know if I could swap these for Lay’s Jalapeno kettle chips, but when I’m feeling fluffy and am trying to get my ass back into gear, I think these are going to be my new go-to.
