I mentioned before switching blogs that I was hoping to blog occasionally about beauty and makeup, along with the typical style and fashion posts. I plan to do a series of "Favorite Five" posts about a few of my favorite products. Todays post is about the lip products I find myself using the most often.
Just a few months ago I had my makeup done at the MAC counter in Nordstrom, the makeup artist introduced me to MAC's lustreglasses. Since then they've become my go-to lip gloss. My favorite thing about them is that instead of having a little sponge tip to apply the gloss with, they have a tiny lip brush. The selection of colors is also great, and I think that the glosses are the perfect consistency (not too sticky). My favorite color is Flusterose, and second to that would be Morning Glory.
Hot pink tends to not be the most wearable color when it comes to makeup, but this 'jelly balm' from HIP makes the bright color totally wearable. It adds just enough pink to your lips, in the most subtle way. The jelly balm also has a nice, sweet smell. It reminds me a bit of cotton candy.
I've mentioned my love for this one before! Rosebud Salve is still among my favorites. If your lips ever feel dry or chapped, this product will get the job done. And of course, the cute packaging doesn't hurt.
I've tried tons and tons of chapsticks in my time. The reason Burt's Bees has become my favorite is because it doesn't contain petroleum. Petroleum can irritate your lips, and if it does, you'll only find yourself needing to apply chapstick more often. Another plus about Burt's Bees is that it a bit minty so that your lips tingle. It is definitely the best of all the ones I've tried, and you won't ever catch me without it in either my pocket, hand, or purse.
Lip Smackers seems to bring up childhood memories for most people, but I'm still in love with their sweet liquid glosses. As far as colorless glosses go, they're definitely my favorite. If I just want a little bit of sheen, I tend to reach for this. The pink lemonade one (my favorite) has a great scent. Besides not being sticky, the scent is really what pushes this gloss to the top for me. The fruity smell makes everything just a bit more fun.
