12 Wants of Christmas!
This week the products are focused again on
lips, but more importantly lip maintenance. With so many companies and different
ingredients that may do more damage than good how can you tell what works? Just
remember K-I-S-S (Keep It Simple Stupid) when it comes to lips, less is more
and more is well… just more.
These are my top three lip care products in no specific
order:
With truly natural ingredients you can’t go
wrong with this scrub. Right now with the addition of Holiday scents/flavors
there is definitely something for all. If you are like me and have tried your
own DIY scrub with refined sugars and honey with warm water STOP! Besides
making a mini mess there is something about scrubbing/exfoliating with coarse
table sugar that doesn’t exactly work alone. The GlaMER Lips product line has
taken the guess work out of the DIY person’s hands and put it in a clear
container so you can see exactly what you have. Having recently won an InstaGram contest
sponsored by MakeupbyMER this can actually be happily taken off my list. I am
more than excited first off to say THANK YOU SO MUCH, to Mercedes the woman
behind GlaMER Lips, for hosting such a FANtastic give away. I’ll be posting an
On The Shelf in January about the products I won!
Since I have used Fresh’s Sugar Lip
Treatment with better results than your average ChapStick I was after a tinted
moisturizer without a plumper or additional additives. Other than the obvious rose
tint it is a great moisturizer with SPF as well. Now with the addition of eight
colors there may be a sample pack brewing for me to hunt down.
Black Friday 2013 was my introduction to Lush
in person. And I was BLOWN away by the personal touch this company puts behind
their products. Having fun and quirky organic handmade products you feel like a
kid in a candy store (of sorts). Having time to sample this I LOVED the taste
of it LOL. I know I wasn’t supposed to be eating it but if it melts or falls
into your mouth it is 100% safe to swallow. If you have a chance definitely
find a retail store in your area for a one on one with a staff member. I for
one will be going back after the New Year and ring in 2014 with personalized facial
products just by answering some questions and trying samples in store.
