Pout-A-Porter---AH-mazing


Chris Benz hooks up with Lancome to create magic. Seriosuly, the latest in the Pout-a-Porter Lipstick collection is delicious. Chris and Tell is the name (so cheeky) and it is the perfect peachy-pink inspired by Benz's Spring 2010 collection. (check out http://www.chris-benz.com/ if you are unfamilliar...he is brills)
This lippie is sure to sell out fast, as most of the pout-a-porters have. Call Lancome and get put on the list. I did. Or if you want to risk it, you can wait until February and buy it at your local Lancome counter. Either way--I can't wait for next year! I doubt any new lippie willl top this amazing color!

Magic Potion


Amazing....seriously I need a moment to tell you about something that just might be my most favorite lip product to be released in YEARS. Are you ready?
Urban Decay Lip Primer Potion. Silky, smooth and your lip color will not budge with this little gem!
As cooler weather draws upon us, I prefer to pull out my berry and plum colored lipsticks...and I guarantee Lip Primer Potion will be under it all.
No one who wears lipstick should be without this. It is that great. I can't say enough good things. Go out and buy it. You'll love it!
$20.00 for a tube
Sephora.com or Urbandecay.com

Thanks to Emily at my local Spehora for the amazing and awesome recommendation!

Can't wait to get my lips on this

Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss...amazing colors: think grape, rose, brick, magenta....I have been hearing raves about the formula. I am heading to Sephora this weekend and I am sure will be adding a few of these to my ever-expanding collection of glosses.

Answer: Celebrity Lips

It's Katherine Heigl! Know for Knocked Up, Grey's and now the Ugly Truth. Now while I might find this gal annoying, I do this she is stunning. BUT--not with that dirty dishwater hair and NOT with those pale lips. I would have loved for her to done a bright lip. What about you? Do you like her look, or wish she would have punched it up?

Get Pink'd


Love this. At Sephora right now, you can buy deluxe samplers of Sephora's Favorites. As soon as I saw the one full of pink lip glosses and lipsticks I couldn't resist! Only $37 a pop and you will truly have everything you need to pink your pout. It is truly a great way to try out some different products without committing to a full tube.

This set contains:
- 0.34 oz Laura Geller Lip Strip. A wonderful peperminty scrub for your lips. I love lip scrubs!
- 0.1 oz DuWop Prime Venom. Feels just like the gloss, same tingle, but in a balm. Love it.
- 0.0676 oz Korres Cherry Oil Lip Gloss in Fuschia, a bright pink gloss that goes on fairly sheer. Very pretty.
- 0.23 oz Sephora Super Shimmer in Think Pink. Pink, sutble shimmer. Perfect.
- 0.02 oz Stila Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain. This one I could live without. It is hard to control the color in the classic Stila twist tube. I prefer Vincent Longo Stains...
- 0.1 oz Smashbox O-Gloss, I have been putting off trying this for about a year now. BUT--I must admit I am impressed. This gloss starts off clear and turns into a light pink that is perfect on lips.
- 0.09 oz ck Calvin Klein Lipstick in Mesmerize, Holy fuschia! This is not for the lipstick faint of heart. Very bright, but I would love it for a night out with a LBD. Great formuala!
- 0.26 oz Urban Decay Lipstick in Jilted. I am on the fence about this color. It looks okay, the formual is okay...nothing too special.
- 0.17 oz ck Calvin Klein Plumping Gloss in Bloom. Love this. Beautiful! The name says it all. makes your lips look like a lovely flower bloom.
