My Lipgloss Trick

Hello everyone! How are you today? I can finally post pictures for tutorials and reviews, as I had a little virus scare on my computer, and was wary about uploading any photos. Now that it's over, I want to share this little trick with you guys. I was surprised that other beauty bloggers knew about this, as I made it up in middle school, but I realized that people have probably been using this way before my time.

This trick works with any type of lipgloss. I find that it works for every type of application as well, whether it is a doe-foot applicator or even a clean finger. This trick will make your lips appear smoother, a little bit plumper, as well as give it a cool 3-D effect.

In order for this to work properly, make sure your lips are properly exfoliated and moisturized. I know that the "traditional way" of applying lipgloss is to just slather it on and press your lips together, but I think it ends up looking messy. Also, the lipgloss would settle into the lines of the lips, making its look odd.

The next step is to apply the lipgloss in downward strokes, rather than horizontally on your lips. In an other way of putting this, start with your choice of applicator at the top portion of one of the lips, and just aplly it in a downwards motion,and prepeat on the other lip.

That's it! That's how easy my "secret" lipgloss trick is! You know have something new to try out, especially if your not one for lip plumpers or injections (ouchie).

Thank you for reading!
 

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Review

Hello readers! I have been searching for a sheer lip colour for a while, but did not want to commit to lipstick, as I did not want to reapply it a million times throughout the day, and glosses always end up getting lost or half used. It was meant to be the perfect lip product for school, as between classes and a crazy lunch time is not the best time to be reapplying anything. I think I encountered just the thing. The new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stan seemed to be the answer for most of  those little problems.I was not sure how sheer the colour was going to be when I saw the product, so I just grabbed the last balm stain the store had for that shade. I chose the colour "Charm". The packaging looked very cute and the light orange colour caught my eye, so I bought that shade. 

Lip Balmin'

  Hello again, how are you guys? I decided to dedicate a post just to lip cream/balm. There are so many to choose from: SPF, tinted, flavored, non-flavored, glossy, plain, coloured, clear. Lip balm, or as I like to call, it lip cream, is a product I`m constantly reapplying thought I already have a bit on my lips. I go through a tube in about 2-3 weeks, so you can imagine how many different kinds I have tried. One of the basic beauty and health necessities has to be lip cream. In my opinion, moisturizing the lips several times a day is essential, in order to avoid chapped, dry, or even cracking skin on your mouth. Try to find lip creams that suit your lip type, drier lips should use more waxy lip balms, as those seem to moisturize better, while normal lips should stick to thinner formulas. I personally prefer the thicker formulas over the thinner ones, as it moisturizes my lips longer.You`re only born with ONE set of skin, so treat the largest living organ of your body with care, by moisturizing daily, and protecting it from the Sun.  Let`s face it, healthy lips are less of a hassle to tend to than bleeding, damaged lips. Scroll down for some of my favorite lip creams.

 Nivea Milk and Honey Lip Care 

This lip cream goes on smoothly without any stickiness. It moisturizes lips for hours, so I didn't have to apply so often. It has a slight milky scent, but is only noticeable when you smell the tube. It does not stain your lips, despite the orange-y hue, and lasts pretty long.

Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast

 










Blistex has always made good lip creams, as they sooth and protect damaged lips in only a couple of minutes. This one has SPF 15, so its ideal to use out in the sun. The tangy raspberry lemon flavor doesn't hurt either. I currently owns and use this one daily. 

Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer SPF 15

This lip cream is both unscented and has no colour, which means that your lips will not have to be stained by any leftover pigment. It instantly softens the lips, and doesn't feel too watery or to waxy.

The Body Shop Born Lippy Watermelon Lip Balm

This lip cream has to be one of my all time favorites, as it smells tasty, and also does not stain the lips. Its also Community Trade, and is from a company that is known to be free of animal testing. it went quite quickly for me, but it was from being enticed by the lively scent.

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer

The last lip balm I am going to list, is from the Burt's Bees line of skincare items. This is a tinted lip cream that gives a pretty shine with a hint of colour. The colours look natural, and it also contains a minute amount of shimmering glitter in it.  This product is also 100% natural.

Well, there you have it, the best lip creams you can find. I'm going to start writing my hair tutorial post, so check back in a few days to see it.
