    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!

    Beauty Brand Spotlight: @LimeCrime

    One of my favorite social media case studies ever!  This indie brand has catapulted into the major leagues by the sheer force of social media. Started by Lolita Goth Blogger as a physical manifestation of her dreams of unicorns and sparkles. Meeting her at SpaceNK in New York and hearing her talk about how her dreams became reality was both inspiring and awesome.

    Her online fan base was more than ready for these products to launch that it was a no-brainer to get this beauty line off the ground.

    Changes…Classic Red to Smokey Dark Lips @MacCosmetics

    “Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.”- Maya Angelou

    I’ve always, ALWAYS worn red lipstick, some might say that I live in red lipstick. Wake up in the morning, brush my teeth, put on red lipstick. Going to the doctor? Red lipstick. Going to the gym? Red lipstick. You catch my point. In the rare occasssion that I’m not wearing red lipstick, I might be wearing a shade of pink… bright pink. However, I seem to have lost the “love” I had for red lipstick… it doesn’t give me that warm happy feeling anymore. I’m not sure if it’s the change in season, or because I’ve made some major changes in my life, but I just don’t feel the same way about it anymore. My new love? A dark lip, ooh yes, I loves me a dark sexy lip.

    My first attempt at a dark lip… looking well evil lol

    I used to stay away from dark lipsticks cause I thought they made me look me mean, and I found that anytime I attempted to wear a dark lipstick, my mood changed… and not for the better.

    Next attempt, totally happy 🙂

    However, things done changed, and now I can’t get enough of wearing dark lipstick. There’s something strong and sexy about it, and I totally dig it!

    My new FAVES! I call them Kate (left- from the Kate Moss Lipstick Collection by Rimmel) and Smokey (right- by MAC) 🙂

    Have you changed your lip colour lately? Were you influenced by the change of season, or simply cause you were bored and needed something different?

    stay pretty 🙂
