7 Tips to Keep Lips Kissable

With winter well & truly with us here in Australia, I thought I would share a few quick tips to help keep that pout pretty!

1. Hydrate - I know you have heard it before.. but hydrating from the inside out will keep those lips looking healthy and not chapped.

2. Deep Moisture - I reconmend a good lip product to apply just before bed. We have all been there, waking up and moving your mouth only to find the movement cracks your lips. Not only does it not look good - but it is very painful as well. I recommend Chapstick Natural Paw Paw Lip Balm with 8hr moisture, Hurraw! Natural/Vegan Lip Balm or Kora Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm - depending on your price range.

3. Exfoliate - Every morning when you brush your teeth, exfoliate those puckers - this will also make them look a little more plump.

4. Licking your Lips - avoid avoid avoid!! Licking your lips is actually a sign of dehydration so If you do find yourself licking your lips then have a big glass of water. Licking your lips will also make them worse and dehydrate then further - apply a lip balm instead.

5. Avoid Matte - If your lips are slightly dehydrated then its best to avoid the matte products. This will only make matters look and feel worse. I would suggest trying something soothing & hydrating like the new Rimmel Oh My Gloss - enriched with Argan Oil & added Vitamin E.

6. Coconut oil - I highly recommend a coconut oil treatment once a week to give an even better and deeper hydration.

7. Don't Bite - Even I am guilty of this one, biting your lips may add colour but you will also do damage and potentially cause your lips to bleed.

My Most Used Blush Products

Hi Beauties, I thought this week I would share with you some of my favourite blush products at the moment. I have so many blush products – these would be close to my favourite make up products, although I could never pick a favourite!

So let’s jump straight into it and get blushin’!

1.       Mac Gingerly

I purchased this shade at the recommendation of a MAC Consultant whilst on holiday in New York. I was a bit hesitant on the shade due to its earthy bronze appearance. This is my definite go to blush when I am unsure of which blush I want to wear. It pairs perfectly with any strong eye or lip look. It gives the perfect flush of colour, although I would suggest a light hand when using on paler skin tones.

Price: $41.00

Where to Buy: Mac Cosmetics Stores

2.       Milani Baked Blush Luminoso

I purchased this baby online due to lack of availability in Australia. At first I was taken aback at how glittery this product appeared in the pan. I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this product transferred on my skin. This product gives a soft & subtle peach glow. The colour payoff and lasting power is fantastic, I really can’t fault this product. My only issue is the packaging, I feel it could be more compact & less bulky but that is far from a deal breaker for me.

Price: $10.88

Where to Buy: BeautyJoint

3.       Essence Blush up Heat Wave

The ombre trend has been hot lately & has definitely transitioned from hair to make up. Essence has done a fantastic job transitioning these vibrant orange & pink shades to create the perfect blush ombre. I was really impressed with the coral/orange/pink pigmentation of this products and the wear ability with a satin finish. I love the fact that this product is actually 3 in 1 in regards to shade choice.

Price: $7.15

Where to Buy: Priceline

4.       NYX Mocha

My favourite NYX blush to date, I would think this colour would suit majority of skin tones. It is a beautiful dark rose/peach pink matte shade – I don’t feel Mocha is really an appropriate name for it. Regardless the product is so flattering and pigmented.

Price: $9.95

Where to Buy: Target

5.       Inglot #20

For a long time I never considered Inglot products and I’m not really sure why. I definitely have become a little bit Inglot obsessed and my collection is growing. Let me just say Inglot products are AMAZING! The blushes are creamy & pigmented and the best part – they don’t have the high price tag that a lot of other products in Australia have. The product can be slightly dusty at times but they are very workable & blend easy. The shade #20 is the perfect soft matte pink shade. It gives the cheeks a hint of colour to brighten the face without being ‘too much’.

Price: $11.00

Where to Buy: Inglot Stores

I hope you guys have enjoyed reading a little about 5 of my favourite blush products. I would love if you left a comment with your current favourite Blush’s.

Much Love, S xx
