Nivea =Labello

While spending summers in Germany and around, I was never with out a tube of "lebello." My German friend said it was the best. And she was right. I stocked up on many flavors to send home so when I finally got back to the US I could have the silky smooth lips I enjoyed thanks to my beloved labello. It wasn't just that the lip balm itself was moisturizing. There were so many flavors and treatments - I miss the goodnight kiss labello. I figured I would never get to be a regualr labello user again, and I moved on....Unitl now.

Apparently Nivea and Labello are one. Have you noticed in your drugstore tubes that look like this:
Pick it up. Try it. It is the same products, same tubing and so far I see the same results. This makes me happy! I am not sure how many flavors Nivea offers, but trust me I will find out and let you all know!

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!

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.

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

Feel the Love

Okay, now I know that it isn't quite February yet, and that means that Valentine's Day is still a few weeks away but I can't resist! RED LIPS! A lot of girls I know are afraid of red lips--don't be! My two favorite things to wear red lips with are: A LBD or jeans and a white tank. Both combinations are perfect- one glam, one casual but both with a fierce, sexy punch of color on your lips.
So here's to red! And if you don't think you can wear red, you're wrong! You just have to find the right color. Here are my favorites in no particular order.
*MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Russian Red- a highly pigmented bluish-red that is best applied with a lip brush. This color was made specifically for Madonna! (loves!)
*CoverGirl TruSine Lip Color in Valentine Shine- a strawberry shade that looks great layered on for a more intesnse look or one coat topped with gloss. So pretty.
*Urban Decay Ultraglide Lip Gloss in Gash- a deep ruby red gloss with shimmer.
*Clinique Different Lipstick in Angel Red- a good medium red, this is probably the red I recommend for beginners! It stays put on your lips and is just a great color. Nicloe Kidman wore this color in the movie Moulin Rouge!
*Make Up For Ever Super Lip Gloss in True Red--the names says it all.
*Vincent Longo Lipstain SPF 15 Lipstick in Cherry- A sheer, glossy red perfect for summer.
*Kiehl's Lip Balm SPF 15 in Hue No 30G--Give your lips moisture and color in one dose! This looks really bright, but it is actually very sheer.

Now when I wear red lipstick it is the only time I even consider putting on lip liner. It helps to keep the red where it belongs. For this I love Sally Hansen Invisible Lip Liner. Perfect, it really is invisible and helps keep the color on your lips and not on your face.

Jessica Simpson! This is one of her so-called "fat" pictures from a chili cook off in Florida this past weekend (has her career really come to that!?) She looks as if the only part of her she hasn't plumed is her lips. Her trout pout was quite severe a few years ago. Do you remember that? But the former Daisy Duke sure could use some gloss.
Would you ever use Restylane to plump up your lips? Not I! I don't like the whole fish-face look, and quite honest gals--if you have skimpy lips--rock them!

Which Restylane-lovin' country crooner (I think she still dose that---both country and restylane) needs some chapstick and gloss??
