Anti-aging lip treatment

Kaplan MD-Perfect Lip Mask and Balm

I first tried this product in a sample from Sephora's.  The sample was enough to allow me to try it a couple of nights and I fell in love with this product.

Ever since I was a child, I have suffered from chronic dry lips.  No matter what I do or try somehow my lips just drink in the moisture and it leaves them dry.  I suppose it is because of that is why I am such a lip product junkie... (sshh, okay I hear you, just another excuse to get more lip stuff) but in all honesty it is the truth.

I have tried very expensive lip treatments and very inexpensive lip treatments and nothing worked good for me.  Until, I tried this sample and now I am in love.  No only do I suffer from dry lips but also I am oh so lucky (be sarcastic) to have a lot of lines around my lips, perhaps from smoking, age, and I have heard using straws all of the time causes them too. Whatever the reason, I have them and now that I am battling them, I can tell a huge difference between now and several months ago.

This lip treatment system comes with a lip mask and a lip balm. It is anti-aging lip treatment duo that redefines the appearance of your lips and reduces the fine lines. It is very hydrating and it has a SPF of 20. When you apply the mask, it takes very little and it naturally plumps and redefines the look of your lip contour.  Place a thing layer of the mask over and around your lips and leave it on about five minutes or so. Tissue off any extra that had not absorbed into your lips and follow up by using a thin layer of the lip balm.  Just remember, a little goes a long way when using these products with does make the system worth the money.

This lip treatment system is parabens, sulfates and phthalates free. One of my favorite things about this system is it will give you a tiny little tingle feeling when you apply the mask!! It is great!!

Lipstick Addiction Can it be?

Lipstick, oh my goodness. Is enough, ever going to be enough? I am starting to believe the answer is no. No there will never be enough lipstick in your collection EVER...  I did a Google search to see approximately how many different shades of lipsticks there are, one of the answers was something like 14,588 shades.. that is considering that each lipstick company has approximately 30-50 different shades. Now stop and think about this for a moment, if there are 14,588 approximately different shades of lipsticks, does that come to close to the amount of lipsticks each of us have in our own collections? Let's NOT even forget about our lip liners, lip balms, and other lip products!!

What I am thinking is if there are 14,588 different color lipsticks, there  has to duplicates. Same shades different names?? There are a ton of red color lipsticks, think about it, there is red lipstick with yellow and/or warm undertones, red lipsticks with blue and/or cool undertones-that is a huge amount in and of itself-and that is just red lipstick shades.  I read that women have been wearing lipstick for over 5000 years. Now back in time they did not have tubes of lipstick like we do, they would grind minerals, fruits and so on and apply that to their lips.  But still, we are talking about a huge amount of lipsticks from many different sources!

Okay, is it possible I am making excuses as to why I cannot seem to avoid the lipsticks online and/or in the store?  And once I find a brand I like-Goodness knows I just have to have a lot of the different colors!! TWO huge examples.. I love, love LASplash lipsticks! I have written articles and reviews on their products. They are long wearing, do not dry out your lips, etc, etc, etc,.  Than NYX Liquid Suede Lipsticks... omg!! I cannot get enough of them. So here we are again, right back where we started.. is it possible to be addicted to lipstick? YES!!! My opinion only but I truly believe like everything else, we can be addicted to lipstick too.

Look at this way, as each season changes, our complexion changes, therefore we need to embrace the seasons too with lighter colored lipstick, med tone color lipsticks, bold color lipsticks for the winter months.. it is endless. WE NEED to change our lipsticks as the season changes too. OH, MY, GOODNESS!! Another freaking excuse, right? 

NEW Makeup with a side dish of YUM!

Can you say YUM, Younique Bonbon's?

Yesterday, it felt like Christmas in March when I got my Younique order. It was filled with some of our new items and I am over the moon about them.

First I got one of our new products the Lip Bonbons!! I do not like tinted lip gloss or tinted lip balms, so I ordered the Vanilla Milkshake Bonbon and I am crazy about the product. Younique has five delicious scents, Vanilla Shake which is clear/white, chocolate truffle, red velvet cake, cherry cobbler and raspberry cheesecake.  Each are tinted except for the vanilla milkshake.  The scent of these little jewels is beautiful, they have five natural oils, that helps keep your lips moistened and nourished all at the same time. One of the most unique things I love about these little bonbons, the cap screws on, ensuring your product will remain intact and fresh. They are GREAT to use at night especially after using a lip scrub. When I woke up this morning my lips felt smooth and the scent of vanilla just topped everything off.. if you love vanilla, think about trying the Vanilla Milkshake... you will love it!!

Just case you may have missed it, my lip scrub I do nightly.. or try to do nightly, is a little coconut oil and tiny bit of sugar.  I rub that on my lips for a few minutes and rinse off.  Wearing the bonbons would help even more considering they have so many wonderful oils in them that is very beneficial to your skin.

Now, this is truly an amazing item, Younique's new Liquid Eyeliners!! I am 100% blown away with the these liners. I have used some great liners one being Kat Von D's liner.  Younique eyeliners are very pigmented, no smudge and water resistant.  The felt tip gives your full control for a beautiful cat eye, or a perfect wing. One of my favorite ways of using the pen is for lining on the lower lashes.. the tip works perfect and gives you the thinness most perfect line!!  

Of the two I am going to be very honest, the bonbons.. are amazing.  I plan on keeping extra of them in my collection.. if you have tried them or plan on trying them, please share below what your thoughts are on them... Have a beautiful bonbon day everyone!!
