    Hint of Lip: Soft colors

    There is a new breed of lippies in town and they are kissable, sheer and so easy to apply that you don’t even need a mirror. More than a lip balm, less goopey as glossy and less tricky than lipstick. They are not tints and they definitely make me smile. They are great for a natural look which is very in style for spring and summer. Everyday wear is absolutely recommended for colors like these.

    DSCN4209Here are my top picks.

    1.Everyday Minerals You Pierce My Soul & Love Birds ($6.99):

    DSCN4208A wearable shade of berry, this lip shade easily translates from day to night. Sumptuous and sweet, Everyday Minerals hand crafted this hue with rich Amazonian butters like Cupuacu and Murumuru, the finest Jojoba Oil, French Lavender essential oil, and hints of Sweet Orange to pamper your lips like never before!

    2. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter ($6.49) Strawberry Shortcake

    Buttery balm with beautiful shiny color to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips on the Revlon site they say that 94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother, and instantly hydrated! They are unscented and unflavored but they do have juicy names. 20 shades available.

    3. Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer $5.00

    Nourishes and moisturizes lips with Vitamin E and Beeswax. It is also enriched with Sunflower and Coconut Oils and has Peppermint flavor. I love the skinny tubes and it comes in 12 shimmering shades.

    4. Maybelline Color Whisper by Color Sensational ($5.94)

    So perfectly slippery – Pure color pigments suspended in a weightless gel. There are no oils or waxes. I am totally love with these gel colors. I promise you these colors look good on everyone. There are 20 shades

    Perfection!

    French Kiss My @GlitzyLips

    Eye-popping lip foil designs won’t fade, flake or foul for 8 Hours!. Flirt, kiss, sip, dance and dip. ~Lips That POP Make the Party ROCK!™

    I am super into these!  I first saw these at the Makeup Show in NYC and was blown away! A better version of Violent Lips in my opinion but the same concept.  Just as traditional nail polish is to the new strips and decals – so is Lipstick and lip gloss to these kinds of ‘lip tattoos’.

    I love them! At $29.99 each make sure it’s a special occasion when you wear them.

    HOW TO APPLY GlitzyLips™
    Start with clean dry lips free of lip stick or gloss.
    Measure LipFoil so that you have enough to create the perfect pout.(top/bottom)

    Shake GlitzyLips™ Adhesive . Start with lips in the AHHH position and slightly stretched into a smile .
    Apply liberally to the lips leaving a blueish/white appearance.

    When GlitzyLips™ Adhesive has dried to a clear state, apply LipFoil to slightly parted lips, smoothing over foil to ensure good
    surface contact. Be sure to apply LipFoil to the lip you applied adhesive to first.

    Quickly remove LipFoil from one side to the other. Repeat to complete your perfect pout.

    @LimeCrime Lips

    Check out this Carousel Gloss by Lime Crime Cosmetics! In a fun twisted tube, highly pigmented Carousel Gloss allows for build-able lip coverage, ranging from a light, sheer tint to an opaque, full gloss. I have “Cherry On Top” a bright red for full, juicy lips!

    I’m amazed at the coverage and long-wear  that I got from this lip gloss. It’s basically a “liquid lipstick”, and best of all, it doesn’t stain! Usually with red lip products, the color stains and leaves a sore-looking tint on your skin. With Lime Crime Carousel Gloss I was delighted with how easily I was able to correct any mistakes without a trace of color left behind. Of course, the bristled lip brush makes for easy lip-lining.

    Lime Crime Carousel Gloss comes in 5 great lip colors, each at about $17. To shop online or see more of Lime Crime’s Cosmetics, visit their website!

    MICABella Ultra Shine Lip Gloss

    There are tons of lip glosses on the market, but ever so often one comes around that really stands out from the crowd.  That’s how I feel about MICABella Cosmetics’ Ultra Shine Lip Gloss Tube ($19.95).

     

     

    Available in 8 colors – I tried Berry Red

    The shine factor and amount of color are perfectly balanced.  You don’t end up looking greasy-lipped and the sheer color makes an impact without being too opaque.  The consistency can only be described as “kissable”—its water-resistant formula means it won’t disappear the moment you drink something, yet it isn’t sticky and thick.  The anti-leak gloss brush makes applying it a snap.  And my favorite feature is the delicious scent (think watermelon Jolly Rancher)—this has to be the best smelling lip product I have encountered (adds the kissability)!! 

     

    MICABella Cosmetics’ products consist of all-natural powders which are made of 100% pure MICA and minerals.  They are free of preservatives, chemical dyes, talc, oils, or other fillers, and are healthy for any skin type.  For more information visit: www.micabeauty.com
