Green Lips

A post about my favorite natural and/or organic lip products! (Just for you D!) Personally, I don't really worry about lead in my beauty products, but I do make an effort to stay animal and environmental friendly- so here are some products that will beautify your lips and keep our world lush! Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers- I love the color nutmeg. It is a rich and creamy red-ish color that is beautiful yet casual. Peacekeep lip gloss in Eternal Equity. Cool Bonus, profits go to women's health and human rights organizations! Dr. Bronner's Magic Organic Naked Lip Balm is great for an extra dose of moisture. The Body Shop Sheer Lip Shine is soft and a great wash of color. Last but not least, Aubrey Organics makes great lip glosses, I like Blush Pearl.
There you have it my friends, you can be green and gorgeous!

Gone But Not Forgotten

One thing I hate is when a product I love becomes discontinued! It breaks my heart. I am all nostalgic today thinking about the past, so I thought I'd give you a look at my most missed lip products!
1. LORAC Lip Addiction in Super Hot--best plumper ever!
2. This rosemary mint lip balm that was sold at bath and body works! I can't for the life of me remember exactly what it was called, but I loved it. It had the perfect texture, and it is the only goo I my boyfriend would kiss! If you remember it--let me know what it was!
3. Urban Decay Lip Pencil in Lounge---this was the most perfect color, the exact pinky shade of my lips. I don't use lip liner much so I am hoping that I never run out.
4. Christian Dior Shine Addict lipcolor in #222--not the new, reformulated color. The old one was perfect. It made your lips look slightly wet and very sexy.
5. Urban Decay Lip Gunk- (come on Urban Decay!) These were the best lippies! They tasted like a yummy treat, but still had a grown up sheen. I loved Shifty (a bronze summery gloss) and Cherry.
6.
Cover Girl Lipslicks in a Hint of Shimmering Sandstone- one of the best drugstore buys ever! Very creamy and fool proof in a gorgeous nude shimmer.
7.Lancome Juicy Tube in Fifth Avenue Frosting---I miss you!
8. Revlon Line and Shine- Brillinat, a lipline on one end, gloss on the other. A time and space saver in great colors! Nude Shine, Toast Shine and Buff Shine were winners.
9. Smashbox Fusion Lip Illusion---probably the most strange looking product--black gloss on one end and white on the other, each end, mixed with your favorite lipsticks and gloss each gloss turned your beauty loot into new shades. Black for deeper berry lips (and a delicious berry sent!) and white was perfect for lighening up thoes too dark lip shades (with a vanilla sent!) A must have, and a must bring back if I do say so myself.
10. Vincent Longo Baby Balm--okay this one isn't discontinued, but you can't find the brand at Sephora or Ulta anymore, which makes for a major annoyance in my life.

So what is a girl to do when her favorite lippie is discontinued? You can pay big bucks to have a colorist match it and make a new one, or you can sieze the opportunity to stock up on new stuff and find a new favorite.

Plump, Plump, Plump it up

My thoughts on lip plumpers? Take 'em or leave 'em. They fall into the nice to have, but not necessary category. Ever since my beloved LORAC Lip Addiction in Super Hot was discontinued I haven't been very impressed. I like a plumper that burns, that stings, and gives me that sexy flushed lipped look. LipFusion XL is a good second, followed by cult fav DuWop Lip Venom.
I like a clear gloss plumper....if you need color apply it BEFORE lipstick. That gives you a nice stained lip look. I also like plumers infused with cinnamon, I like to feel the burn.
If you don't have a plumper at hand, the old stand by of a dot of gold gloss on the lower lip really can make your pout appear fuler. Gotta love illusions.

Spring Lips

What does Spring hold for your lips? NUDE and NATURAL! Bobbi Brown says a nude lipstick is best for spring, and Behnaz Sarafpour (love, love, love) is loving lips with just lip conditioner on, very healthy with a slight glisten.
What do you think? Are you excited for nude lips?
My favs---which I will be pulling out for spring:
Nude Lipstick: Smashbox lipstick in Elegant or Charming (Charming is more pink-nude)
Natural Lips: Smith's Rosebud Salve
Nude Lippie: NARS Lipgloss in turkish delight or MAC lipglass in Florubundance
