Lets Talk Lip Care

Autumn is officially in full swing, hence the lovely seasonal change in background. However, the weather it drags along with it can reek havoc on our precious lips and lets face it, no one wants to be sporting the chapped lips trend this fall and winter. So in order to keep them in lip locking condition, here is my combination of products to see me through.

Baby Lips VS Smoochies

Tinted lip balms have been quite the rage this summer, so naturally on my travels to the US, I felt obliged to collect a few that I did not yet own or were not available in the UK. Of course with my luck, as soon as I finally get my hands on the coveted Maybelline BabyLips, the drugstores decide to release them in the UK... which I guess in a way is a good thing. 

BACK TO SCHOOL: Lips Of Choice

In order of lip products in previous images 

When considering a lip product suitable for school/ college days, quite a few factors come into consideration: longevity, comfort, effort etc. Most would stay within their comfort zone and opt for a simple chap stick and breaking boundaries would be a tinted lip balm, Which to be honest, I have no problem with. At the end of the day, that option is hassle free and no fuss is included. However being a lip product lover, I do often like to wear a spot of colour on the lips as I feel that it can make a look more put together and like effort has been made. Most days, I would swerve toward the 'my lips but better' shades (I know, cliché statement alert!) but on the days that I am feeling a bit on the daring side, I tend to opt for the classic red lip. So here are some options that I find fit the bill perfectly.

I'm a huge drugstore make up fan and I think the brands on the high street really have improved to the point that some of their products are of equal or maybe even better standard than those in the high end spectrum. This title has been floating round the blogger's world and youtube for a while and I've been meaning to give it a whirl but i'm just going to put this out there right now.. I'm a massive procrastinator. So it has taken me a while to finally drag my butt up and route through my collection for some gems. I thought it would be quite a task but it took me a mere few minutes to pick them out, so much so, I may have to do another post!

But anyway, I hope you find this useful or at least interesting!

My Lips In Love

EOS (a.k.a Evolution of Smooth) lip balms.

 Ive never seen my lips react so quickly and lovingly to a hydrating lip product. Suffering from quite dry lips, I have been through my fair share of lip balms and treatments on the market and none of them have ever seemed to get it right. Of course, few have come close, for example the Carmex lip balm. For a while I was addicted to the stuff, but once I stopped using it I found that my lips became even worse. I also wasn't a big fan of the slippery oil like texture that sat on the lips.

So when I found that I would be taking a trip to the big US, the EOS lip balms were a product I definitely wanted to get my hands on.

SUMMER SELECTIONS SERIES: Beach Beauty Essentials

Summer is in full bloom and as per usual England is nothing but a nasty rain cloud (which is really not surprising) However, in order to brighten up my mood I have been thinking about some beach essentials that I will be needing when I go on holiday and have the opportunity to tan by the sea!
