Perfect for Fall: Laura Mercier Lip Evolution

This Laura Mercier Lip Evolution of Colour in Plum Suede ($28.00, lauramercier.com) is so perfect for fall because you get four different shades from a soft pink and pinkish brown for day to a rasin and mauve for night.

The unique thing about this product is it looks like eye shadow but it's actually for your lips. You would think this would feel so dry on your lips but it actually doesn't it has a slightly creamy feel to it. I like it because I can throw this in my make-up bag and not worry about carrying two different lip glosses or lip sticks in my bag.

A Lip Balm that Keeps your Lips Sugar Fresh

I received a cute little gift of Fresh Sugar Lip Balm ($22.00, amazon.com) from my friend who is a total product junkie. She knows that I am pretty much a lip balm addict and thought I might like to give this a try.

It goes on very smooth and has a really good scent and taste to it. It has a nice consistency light and creamy without feeling waxy.

Due to the high price I'm not sure I would purchase this as often as my other lip balms.

Supermoisturizing Lip Balm

Lately, I have been a little busy because I'm trying to find a new MKTG/PR position in NYC. Hopefully, I can find a position that will let me work with different clients from Beauty to non-profit.

Anyway....

Are you looking for a supermoisturizing lip balm, then try Apivita Propoline Lip Aid ($7.00, beautyexclusive.com).

I am using the cocoa butter & olive oil (blue tube), it made my lips feel very soft and moist. The container might not look glamorous but the bright colorful tubes are very fun and cute.

Maybe I'll hold off on buying more lip balm at least for a little while.

Organic Lip Balm

I know, I know I'm a lip balm addict and when I hear of good one to try. I like to see how good it is.

I heard about Dr. Bronner's Lemon Lime Lip Balm ($2.50, amazon.com) from the organic store my aunt goes to. It goes on smooth without any waxy after feel. It also has a nice citrus taste to it but not overpowering at least to me.

LUSH Lip Balm

I orded the LUSH Honey Trap Lip Balm ($7.95, lush.com) because I wanted to try a new lip balm. A friend of mine swears it the best thing around. So, I decided to try it for myself. It has a very yummy taste but the real test is to see if it will keep my lips soft and moist.

I must say that is really does. This is probably the most I have ever spent on a lip balm but it really works. It has a natural scent to it and some may or may not like the smell.

Product Feature: Pantina lip balm and gloss

I received some samples from Pantina Cosmetics's Naturally Stunning Spring 2007 Collection. Even though they are not in the stores yet I would like to review them for you.

The first samples are the Pantina Buttery Lip Plumping Balm ($5.00 each). As I stated in a previous post about lip plumping, I can never tell if they are working because my lips are naturally plump.

Aside from that, I do like how smooth the product goes on with just a hint of color and a great tast of peppermint.

They did keep my lips moistured even in cold weather (I tested them on really cold days). They also, contain shea butter, peppermint essential oils and vitamins C & E. I have no complaint against this product. I like the sleek pink and white design of the tube (has a clear detachable top).


The second samples are the Pantina Fusion Gloss ($4.50 each). These are great little products that provide a really nice shiny (non-glazed donut) look. It's a sheer gel gloss. I also love the Asian inspired scents and flavors they are avaible in such as: Mandarin Green Tea, Lycee Lollipops and Asian Pear Punch.

I love the product but I'm not so keen on the bottle design, it kind of reminds me of a nail polish bottle.

I think this product would look great in a sleek twist bottle that can fit nicely in your purse or jeans.

American Girl offers more than just dolls

I love lip balm and I found this, American Girl realbeauty inside and out™ Flavor Blast™ Lip Balm in Mango Tango ($4.50, bathandbodyworks.com) at the Bath and Body Works website.

I know these are geared towards little girls because they're from the American Girl line but I really like the cute little container and the mango taste (not to overpowering and great taste).

It's also a great product for keeping lips moisturized and soft. It gave my lips a nice hint of shine.

Great Alternative to Lipstick and Lip Gloss

I am a lip balm addict. I always carry one with me.

Another favorite of mine is Neutrogena MoistureShine Tinted Lip Balm ($6.39, drugstores), it's really moisturizing and goes on easy with a hint of color. Bonus: SPF 20 for sun protection.

I like it because the color is sheer and natural, making my lips look very pretty. It's also great for days when you don't feel like applying lipstick or gloss this is a great choice because you get color and a little shine combined with moisturizers.

Some users may or may not detect a slight taste. I did not taste anything unpleasant but you have to try it for yourself to see.

Also, some have said that the product may become soft. I found that it's less likely to soften in your purse than in your pants pocket.

Keeping your lips Kiss worthy

Searching for the perfect product that will give you soft and kissable lips? Why not try the tried and true ChapStick Lip Balm? It's been around for ages. My ultimate favorite is ChapStick LipMoisturizer with SPF 15 ($1.99 at drugstore).

I have been using this product for a few years and my lips continue to stay moist and never chapped. Also, this is the perfect product to prep your lips for lipstick or gloss. No one wants to kiss a person with dry chapped lips. So, not attactive.

Give it a try, $1.99 for soft, moist, and kissable lips. It works for me.
