Keep your lips looking Fruity!

Who said it has to be 5 a day? IT CAN BE MORE!

There is no limit to how much fresh fruits and veggies you can eat a day, but for those who do not bother, they must learn to stick to the 5 a day at least. The benefits of fruits and vegetables is unlimited and we must consume enough of them to stay fit and healthy.

Besides that, your lips will look beautiful and attractive only if they are healthy. Applying makeup on dry chapped dark lips will not make them appear eye-catchy. It can only invite unwanted attention that brings forth the fact that your lips are dry and chapped. Refrain from licking your lips.

Home made Lipbalm and Lipscrub!

Its Inexpensive and Organic

Here are some of my Lip care recipes that you can follow to keep your lips looking Healthy and Beautiful!

***Vanila & Honey Lipscrub***
This recipe is really easy to make and you can use it up to a week or more depending on the quantity.

You will need:
*Olive Oil [Extra virgin if available], but any organic olive oil will do.
*Sugar [Caster Sugar if available] and again that's not a problem, you can use any cooking sugars of your choice. But caster is what I use =]
*Any organic Honey
*Vanilla essence or any food flavouring of your choice.

What you need to do: In a small container, add one table spoon of sugar and two tablespoons of olive oil, 2-3 teaspoons of honey and mix it very well, add few drops of your favourite flavouring for good aroma and apply on your lips and exfoliate gently every day. Preferably in the mornings and before going to sleep. The liquidity of the scrub will vary depending on how much olive oil or sugar you add, it doesn't really matter how much, you can adjust it to suit your type.

For me, I would normally make sure that its not too runny or too solidified so that i can have good gentle exfoliation. You can use it up to a week or more if kept refrigerated. Use a toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips with your fresh home made lip scrub. Lips are very sensitive, so Make sure that you don't apply too much pressure while exfoliating.

You can also add some almond oil to the recipe because it is acts as a great moisturiser and cures chapped lips.

Don`t forget to apply a good lip balm on your lips after exfoliating!

Sweet Shop Cupcake Lip Glosses

Have you tried them??

Now you can apply cupcake to your lips! :D
These Cupcake lip glosses smell delicious enough to eat!
They`re long lasting and sometimes irresistible causing you to lick your lips ha but make sure you dont!

Michelle Phan demonstrates it all...

Kissable Lips..

A quick DIY video on how to exfoliate your lips. Your lips are just as gentle as your skin, so be sure to take extra care of your lips and use lip balm or lip products with SPF. Remember you don't have to use ALL ORGANIC products. Whatever you have in your kitchen should work just fine. If you don't have honey or if you are allergic to honey, use Olive Oil instead.

HOME MADE LIP BALM RECIPE

USING VASELINE PETROLEUM JELLY

Now most people don't have beeswax in their homes but at least 9/10 houses will have Vaseline Petroleum Jelly...You can just buy a big one for one or two pounds or dollars or what ever and turn them into delicious organic lip balms for your whole family!!

You can use your empty lip balm containers to fill in your new lip balm recipe or buy them, they are not that expensive!

Take a small microwavable container and add about 1-2 teaspoons of Vaseline petroleum jelly [depending how much you want], then add about one tea spoon of olive oil and half tea spoon of honey and one tea spoon of almond oil. Microwave for about 30 seconds, Take it out and add few drops of your favourite food flavouring or if you can afford the expensive essential oils for long lasting aromas, you can add a drop of your favourite essential oil and stir it well and pour it into your empty lip balm container...and THERE...you have a healthy and delicious and inexpensive lip balm made out of your kitchen products!!

If you want to add some colour to your new home-made lip balm then you can scrape of some lipstick that you don't use any more and add it to the recipe for more of an exotic lip balm recipe!

Lip Treatments - eos - Lip Balm Sphere - Sweet Mint

I love everything about it.

It has a unique look to it and this one particularly smells like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Just keeps my lips looking moisturised and healthy all day as well as making it smell minty. It has to be my Favorited lip balm for ever I guess.Oh and who introduced me to this Lip balm? Its Michelle Phan of course! This is the favourite lip balm of Michelle Phan and I thank her letting us know.

EOS Lip Balm Sweet Mint Smooth Sphere (Pack of 8)

Amazon Price: $26.00 (as of 06/02/2012)Buy Now

When you look at it, you just get this annoyed feeling to have one for yourself and see how it is..That`s how adorable it looks and it comes in wonderful flavours too. This minty flavoured one gives my lips this cool sensational feeling and its like people have to try it themselves to agree with my facts. So this product definitely deserves my spotlight.

SO YOU ARE A MAN?

Who cares..still make sure you carry a tiny Vaseline tin with you at all times to prevent dry/chapped lips. Imagine you`re moving closer to kiss your girl and she feels as if she`s kissing a hard dry cornflake?? I can actually imagine that..so please no dry lips even if you`re a guy...Always keep lips looking moisturised.

Who would say NO to this?

Every girl would wish to have lips like Angelina Jolie.

You can do it too! :P

We all know that not every ones born with those exotic lips of Angelina Jolie, but with a little bit of effort you can imitate her look!

Just watch this Tutorial, the girl in the video has Sexy lips too!

Make your lipstick last All day!

Its Easy!

Image: Woman applying lipstick-Allposters

What you need:
*Your favourite colour of Lipstick
* Translucent Powder or Baby powder
*Concealer
* Lip gloss of your choice
*Tissue

Before you apply anything on your lips, you must make sure that they are finely moisturised!
So apply lip balm on your lips and moisturise them...You do not want to have flaky dead skin cells floating after you have applied your lipstick! *_*

Now you can apply some concealer all over your lips, not too much but just enough to cover the whole lips..Wait for 20 seconds and then Apply your lipstick on top.

Now I prefer using lip brush to apply my lipstick because it gives me more of an elegant look, but that is not necessary if you`re in a rush of course...

After the first application of lipstick, apply some translucent or baby powder on your lips and then blot it with a tissue and reapply until you get your desired colour..

The Concealer and Powder along with the tissue blotting process will make your lipstick last all day....

You can apply some of your favourite lip gloss in the end for EXTRA GLAMOUR!

If you want to go for more of a professional and elegant lip look, you can also try lining your lips with lip liner just before applying your lipstick...the lip liner will give the waxy base for your lipstick to hold on to and will make it last even longer!

Make sure to ex-foliate your lips regularly and keep them moisturised to keep your lips looking young and healthy for ever!

What`s your choice?

I usually prefer nude lipsticks, they look more sophisticating and nice.

Simple Steps to Achieve Fuller looking Lips!

Plump and Luscious Lips

Step1: EXFOLIATE!

Wet your lips and using a toothbrush, gently exfoliate your lips using the sugar and olive oil lip scrub recipe from this article or you can use your own lip scrub and exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin cells and make up.

Step 2: MOISTURISE!

After exfoliating, it is a must to moisturise whether its your lips or any part of your body, you must moisturise to prevent dry skin and loss of natural moisture from your skin. So apply lip balm and wait for about 30 seconds before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: CONCEALER!

Now that your lips are well moisturised and supple, apply a thin coat of concealer all over your lips, be careful not to cake it on though. Just enough to give a neutral base for your lipstick to hold on to.

Step 4: POWDER!

Apply some loose powder [Translucent or baby powder will do] to make the lip colour last long.

Step 5:LINE YOUR LIPS!

This step can be avoided if you don't have a liner available at that moment or you`re in a rush, but lining your lips will give a waxy base for your lipstick to hold on to and will make it last longer.

Step 6: LIPSTICK!

Fill in your lips with your chosen colour of lipstick and preferably with a lip brush. Blot gently with a tissue and reapply until you have the desired result.

Step 7: LIP GLOSS!

take some lip gloss, it doesn't have to be shiny or clear, which ever one that suits you will be fine and just apply a tiny amount on the middle of your lower lips and the upper lips.

FINALLY: WHITE EYE-SHADOW OR HIGHLIGHTER!

Now you can apply a tiny dot of white eye-shadow or highlighter on your cupid bow for more of a defined fuller plump lips!

Reapply lipstick/lip gloss throughout the day as needed especially after meals!

DO YOU LICK YOUR LIPS?

If you are some one who licks their lips often thinking the saliva will help moisturise your lips, YOU ARE WRONG! Saliva will make your lips even drier and darken them. So avoid licking your lips often.
