Daily Lips

So sorry about the lack of posts! I had surgery and blogging has been the last thing on my mind. But I am back!
Today I decided to write about some of my favorite "daily use" lip products.
I love, love, love lip scrubs. Peter Thomas Roth Lips to Die For Lip Facial Trio has a great lemon sugar scrub. It leaves lips incredibly soft. It is definitely the stand out product of the trio. I like to use a lip scrub at night before bed and then later on a thick, rich lip moisturizer. The draw back is the other two products are okay, and it is expensive! At $60, I don't think this is a product I will purchase again.
My current favorite is Beauty Rehab Rose Salve. It goes on light, but is so moisturizing and smells great! At only $10, I suggest you pick some up and be on your way to soft, luscious lips.
I have a deep affection for rose, because Smiths Rosebud Salve ends up on my lips just about every day. I love the cute tin it comes in and it gives your lips a healthy sheen.
If my lips are very dry I always reach for Aquaphor healing ointment. I have a tube within reach
at all times. It was a godsend when I took accutane, and years later still knocks out chapped lips quick.
If I need a tube of chapstick to put in my pocket I love, love, love Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15. Goes on smooth and leaves your lips soft and fresh. Bonus--it smells wonderful! The only downside is it is expensive, $22.50 a tube. Want something more pcoketbook friendly? Pick up a tube of cocoa butter for 99 cents at your local drugstore. It is super mositurizing and a great cheap thrill.
There you have it. The bare necessities when it comes to lips!

Answer: Celebrity Lips

Sorry for the delay in posting...to say things have been crazy would be an understatement!

The celebrity who dared to wear lavender lips is...Lady Gaga! Gotta hand it to her, it takes some balls to wear that color on your lips, and have you seen some of her wild outfits!? (and why does she never have on pants?)

I don't think I would wear this color--ever. The closest I would come is a lavender gloss, which can look quite lovely.

Celebrity Lips


Who decided that this was the lip color to step out in?
