Hey everyone!
Happy New Year’s Eve! (or Happy New Year, depending on where
in the world you are!!!) For today’s
post, I thought I’d share with you all my favorite lip products of 2013, so
let’s hop right in!
Lips
Lush Lip Scrub in Mint
Julips, BubbleGum: An amazing lip scrub/lip exfoliant, this leaves my lips
feeling super soft, and when followed up with a lip balm, my lips feel
incredible. This has become a staple for
me this year, especially during the colder months, as I pretty much am
guaranteed to have dry, chapped lips unless I stick to a lip routine
religiously.
Maybelline Baby Lips
Dr. Rescue (Too Cool): This is a great healing product from the baby lips
line by Maybelline, probably because of the Menthol in the product, which gives
the product a ever so slight scent of cough drops (but I promise, it goes away,
in my opinion, after a minute or two).
The scent is worth it, however.
This product literally saved my lips a month ago, and continues to amaze
me. It’s the only lip balm that I can
wear while working in the dry atmosphere at Target and not get that gross cakey
white goop on my lips from having a lip product (deny it all you want, but its
happened to you once before, I know it).
I highly, highly recommend this stuff for the simple reason that it has
incredible healing powers.
Maybelline Baby Lips
(Peach Kiss): My personal favorite of the ‘regular’ baby lips line, Peach
Kiss is a light peach color (the purple tube) that barely shows up on the
lips. It smells great, and is super
moisturizing, making it a great “throw in the purse” type lip product since
it’s easy and low-maintence.
Nivea Lip Butter
(Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss): Another life-saver for me, this product I
originally purchased right around my birthday in September, and it saved me
from having the worst chapped lips at my birthday party/weekend. It is a very thick product that comes in a
tin and is applied with the finger (the one downside to it, as it can be a
little more messy).
Loreal Colour Riche
Lipstick (Blushing Sequin): This is probably one of the first real
lipsticks that I’ve ever worn on a regular basis by my own choice. Any by my own choice I just mean because I
didn’t have to for dance recitals or anything like that. I love this color, it’s a gorgeous bright
pink color, that I first discovered through a spring/summer lip color done by
Allison, or Amarixe on YouTube. But, to
be honest, I’ve still be rocking it through the fall and winter, I love it that
much. I’ve tried it with several
different gloss combinations, nude, bright, clear, and all look amazing. This is such a great color, with or without
gloss, and I’m so grateful to Allison for introducing it to me!
CoverGirl Jumbo Gloss
Balm (#215, Watermelon Twist?): Another color introduced to me by
Allison/Amarixe, this is a beautiful pink color for the summer. I love the Jumbo gloss balms, I also own
several other colors from the line, but this is by far my favorite color I’ve
tried. I highly recommend not only this
color for a pink color, but just the line as a whole, if you’re looking for a
“chubby stick” type lip product.
MakeUp Forever Lab
Shine Star Collection Lip Gloss, S22: This is the only lip product I have
from this brand but I really like it.
It’s got some light glitter that reflects the light nicely, and is a
really light pink shade that is easy to work with. I’m definitely curious to see what the rest
of this line looks like and how it would be on me. I do use this product quite frequently, so
perhaps I should check out the rest of the line soon!
NYX Mega Shine Lip
Gloss (Beige): I absolutely LOVE the NYX lip glosses. I really can’t stress that enough. They’re just formulated so perfectly, they
have this amazing smell to them (which may sound strange, but trust me), and
they are really well pigmented. This
color, Beige, is just a great color that is low-maintenance on your lips, so
you don’t feel the need to be constantly checking the mirror for
touch-ups. The color is very work place
appropriate, just like Nude Pink (described below).
NYX Mega Shine Lip
Gloss (Nude Pink): Like Beige, this is another great low-maintenance color
that is perfect for the work place or just when you want a more toned-down
look. If you’re looking for a great lip
gloss, I highly recommend checking out the NYX lip glosses, they are an amazing
quality product for a drugstore price, and have such beautiful colors in a wide
range of choices.
Revlon Lip Butter
(Peach Parfait): I would best describe this color as a “better than your
natural lips” color. It’s very similar
to my natural color, but adds a bit of “oomph!” to them, and gives it a bit of
sparkle, as the color itself has tiny flecks of sparkle in it, though nothing
extreme in any way. It’s a gorgeous
color, and I highly recommend it as a “starter” color to the Revlon lip butter
world if your unsure about this product in general but want to try it out (it’s
what I did!!).
Revlon Lip Butter
(Berry Smoothie): This is a more mild version of a berry/wine color, which
I find to be perfect for this time of year, and the fall and winter time in
general. It’s not extreme in any way,
but great for those who want the berry color on their lips without going
full-on with it. This is how I would
create the berry look on more laid back days to class in college or running
errands around town.
Revlon Lip Butter
(Wild Watermelon): This is a newer color that was just released this past
summer in 2013, but it quickly became one of my most worn products of the
summer. The first time I wore it, my
brother’s high school graduation ceremony, I got so many compliments it was
insane. It’s a bright color, which
scared me a bit as I’ve never worn something that bright, but I took a chance
and stepped out of my box and ended up falling in love with it. Just like all of the other lip butters, this
product has the same silky smooth application and feel on your lips, and has a
nice color pigmentation. I absolutely
love the lip butters from Revlon, and highly recommend that you try them out if
you haven’t already!
