I get bored with my reflection in the mirror. We can at times get so comfortable with a certain look. Upper East Side blow out and pale pink polish, nude gloss. Classy but boring if this is your go to look every time. I came across the above photo in an old Glamour magazine and felt inspired. Not that I need additional stimuli since I sometime feel overwhelmed by beauty ideas. All you need is a shift like a teal polish or eyeliner. Just one detail! Bright idea: Punchy colorful lipstick not lip gloss but full on grown up lipstick. Easier than it looks but commitment is required.

Maintain the skin almost bare (B.B. cream and powder), champagne eyeshadow creates the perfect eye lid base, line with pencil or liquid liner and complete with lashings of mascara.

I always extend my foundation to my lips or put a bit of concealer around my lip line focusing on the outer corners. This trick helps the lipstick stay put and allows you to enhance or correct your natural lip line. Then, I line my lips with the matching color or with a nude (flesh tone) pencil. Apply lipstick in the center of the lip avoiding the edges of the mouth. Blot very lightly with tissue, repeat one more time and finish application with a lipstick brush contouring the lip line. For touch ups make sure you carry the lip pencil or a portable lip brush (to re contour your lips) and the lipstick.

I am a beauty junkie but lip gloss is my absolute favorite.
If I have time for no make up at all, I know that with a great lip product I am literally covered.
Recently, I discovered Carmex Moisture Plus ultra hydrating lip balms. My world has never been the same since. These little slender silver tubes contain the sheerest lip colors with the richest moisture. There are five colors to choose from; clear, sheer pink, sheer peach, sheer berry and sheer plum.
All containing vitamin E, aloe and shea butters with a healthy dose of nourishing oils like coconut,avocado and safflower. As if it wasn’t enough greatness, the balms all have an SPF 15.
In put it on my lips everyday running around doing my errands and also with a full face of make up. It just pulls my look together in a subtle way. The applicator has a slant so it’s goof proof application for when your on the go.
At home and specially before bed I love to moisturize with Carmex Moisture Plus hydrating lip balm in clear. The clear balm leaves amazing moisture with a light sexy sheen.Perfect in case I get a surprise visitor.
My lips are addicted to the Carmex Moisture Plus in sheer pink. It leaves a longer lasting color than a gloss but lighter than a lipstick. It’s the perfect balance. Perfection is mine every time for only $3.49
