I have a million pretty but empty refillable palettes sitting in my makeup desk draw. Great idea, but it’s so much easier to just throw the product into your bag instead of depotting it. Well, Sephora may have changed that.
Check out the SEPHORA COLLECTION Refillable Lipstick Palette not only does it come with a sleek black palette, but it also comes with everything you need to create your palette, including a silicone melting cup and spatula to get it into the palette wells. Spoon in the lipstick, put the cup in the microwave for 1 minute, and pour into the well, for a professional looking palette! Since you are melting lipsticks, it would be possible to combine colors to get that elusive perfect shade with a little experimentation!
Find the SEPHORA COLLECTION Refillable Lipstick Palette at Sephora.com for only $8.
Just got around to reading the January issues of Allure and Vogue, and one thing stands out Red Lips are here. A lot of women tend to shy away from red lips, but glossy siren-red lipstick is only one option. Red lips can be natural looking, a quick perk-up, or dramatic. We will consider a few options in upcoming articles, but let’s start with the basics – a no-frills, pretty red.
First step, make sure to moisturize your lips first. This is no time to have dry, flaky lips. Try dabbing a little bit of a moisturizing eye cream on your lips it will smooth them out and plump up any lines. Make sure to get the corners of your lips as well any lipstick wont look its best if you are dry around the mouth.
Second, a lip brush helps when trying to be precise with red lipstick (otherwise, it looks messy fast) You may want to practice a few times to get comfortable with a lip brush before you head out for the night. The nice thing about a lip brush is that you can control how much lipstick goes on and in what spots. If you apply thin coats, you can layer until you have the color/consistency you want. Another benefit of thin layers is that you can take it down a notch if you goof and its easier to remove if you stray outside your lip line.
Third, you may want to dab some concealer/foundation around your mouth to put the focus on your lips. If you have highlighter on hand, gently tap some around your cupids bow to give a youthful glow to your mouth. To make your lips look fuller, tap a tiny amount in the middle of your lower lip.
Below is a picture of a basic red lip. The lipstick is Liptini’s Bloody Mary Straight Up Lipstick, which is a classic, universally flattering red. This is one coat with a neutral lip liner on the top of the lip for definition. It’s a great red lip for everyday that can be glammed up for a party, and layered for a more dramatic red, which we will be showing in the upcoming days.
Enjoy trying out a few shades to see what works for you and don’t be afraid of the red lip!
I had the chance to try out Liz Earle’s new line of haircare products when it was sent to me – their Botanical Shine Shampoo and Botanical Shine Conditioner for Dry or Damaged Hair. When the weather gets bitter cold like it has been the last week or so (yes, I know this is warm and balmy compared to how it will be in a month or so), my hair dries out in record time. When I started using a once a week deep-moisture hair mask every day to keep up with the weather, I decided it was time to try out Liz Earle’s latest offerings.
We’ve reviewed other Liz Earle product before, but just as a quick rundown of the line Liz Earle Naturally Active products no artificial preservatives, only natural ingredients that have been specially picked from around the globe. This stuff is good for you!
So one day I tried out the Shine Shampoo and the Shine Conditioner for Dry or Damaged Hair. A lot of all-natural shampoos leave my hair kinda dull and flat, but not this one. The consistency of both shampoo and conditioner is smooth and light. It feels good in your hand, and you don’t need a lot of shampoo to get a nice lather (that’s another thing that puts this line ahead of the pack of natural shampoos I always have a hard time getting a decent lather with others not this one). The scent is fresh and very pleasant, but not overpowering. That’s a real plus for me. It’s actually calming, and makes for a nice spa-like shower. And once you wash it out, the scent is gone your hair just smells really clean and nice“ not perfumey. While it contains 8 essential oils, it is really quite gentle of a scent“ and I’m pretty sensitive to scents. It washed out smooth without having to scrub, and leaves hair fresh” even on the second day it smelled and felt just as fresh as when I got out of the shower.
The conditioner is fantastic. I expected a light conditioning given the smoothly flowing consistency. However, it provided truly deep hydration and washed out clean as well. I loved how both products felt on if you want to add a little spa experience to your everyday shower, then you definitely will love this line.
I dried my hair without styling product, and I got smooth, bouncy waves with good volume at the crown. My hair moved easily and freely, and I looooved running my finger through my hair after. The shine was incredible“ that is probably what I find the most impressive. You’ll have light but powerful oils to thank for that“ orange and apple oils, which combine for that great scent.
Since it doesn’t have harsh chemicals, I recommended it to Style Chick Lyn, who had just got an elusively perfect hair color about a week before. She was worried about the color washing out, as it quickly tends to do on her freshly colored hair. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to extend their color” and since the fresh feeling lasts longer than other shampoos and conditioners, you don’t have to wash as often, which will prolong your color.
