I don't know any female who ain't a sucker for lip products, who own more lip products then needed. Ranging from lipsticks to glosses, but why are we drawn to own every new lip product on the market. I for one am drawn to lip skincare products mainly due to having major dry lips. I do love and admire ladies that can pull off a red lip look, I'm yet to find the perfect lipstick formula to suit my dry lips. Here is a list of my recent and not so recent favourite lip products:
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
I first heard about the wonders of this product back when I did a makeup course. A must versatile product you'll find in all makeup artist kits. Its uses include treatment of symptoms such as chapping, peeling or flaking due to minor burns, sunburn, windburn, scrapes, abrasions and cracked lips. I love adding it before adding any lip color to my lips. Not only does it moisturize my lips but adds a gloss shine finish.
Colour payoff: Clear shine
Lush Latte Lip Tint
For a more subtle tint I love this shade by Lush. It's gives you a golden sunkissed beach babe look and its light coffee scent is delish. See image below. Ingredients include Jojoba and Japan Wax to soften the lips. It's very pigmented so a little goes a long way.
Colour Payoff: Bronze
Sleek Makeup Pout Polish SPF15 - Electro Peach
The color might shock you but have no fear, it has a sheer payoff. I love the "just kissed" look when your lips are all juicy and plump with a hint of red. It's very moisturizing, I love the packing with a screw on lid and the SPF 15 gets a "high 5" from me.
Color payoff: Just kissed
Labello Pure - Mint & Minerals
My everyday go-to-lip-saver. Works best for my dry lips, keeps it moisturized, soft and kissable. The mint invigorates the senses while the minerals revitalize and improve the skins lip structure.
Colour payoff: Clear
Caribbean Grapefruit & Orange Lip Balm
This you'll find at my bedside. I like to plop this on before bedtime to help moisturize and condition my lips. Colour payoff: Clear
