Lip Balms: lifesavers

Hey, peeps! It’s Beauty Wednesday again. And today we’re here to talk about … lip balms! We think it is a product you must have at any time, whether you like makeup or not.

And you’re probably wondering why we think that. Well, it is because lip balm is probably one of the best beauty products ever invented? Yes, yes it is. It moisturizes your lips, preventing them from being dry or chapped. Lip balm also helps healing your lips once you’ve got them chapped.  

There are tons of brands that have their own lip balms. Some of the most known brands with lip balms are:

Baby Lips by Maybelline

Burt's Bee

Carmex 

Chapstick

EOS

Nivea

Vaseline

And the best thing is that you can actually choose your lip balm from kabillion options. Seriously, they’ve got scented, colored, scented & colored, non-scented &  non-colored. Pick your fave, ladies!

Lip balms are lifesavers, no doubt. Especially those with SPF for the hot summer days. Or just to protect them any day, the sun is getting hotter every day or something, hahaha.  

Gee's been having problems with chapped lips since winter, blame New York's windy weather, and have been trying a WHAT amount of them. We’re not even kidding, last week when we went out, she was carrying, like, 3 on her purse. And Oddie can’t stop wearing lip balm ‘cause her lips start chapping, they’re used to it now. So, here's a little review, we hope it helps you choose the one that's better for your lips!

1. Cherry Chapstick. It does not only smells good, but it gives your lips a natural cherry color. Only bad thing, it can feel like too much on your lips. And really greasy.
2. Cherry Carmex SPF 15 stick. Same thing, it can feel greasy. But it protects your lips from the sun, which is good.
3. Classic Carmex tube. It doesn't feel greasy and it's really easy to apply. It gives your lips a minty sensation that feels SO good.
4. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula: Dark Chocolate & Cherry stick. The smell can be really annoying from time to time, personally can't stand it, but it's the one that works the best. Your lips definitely feel softer after one application.
5. Kiehl's lip balm tube. Their consistency is more liquid, but not sticky. Their coverage doesn't last that much, tho. They smell amazingly great! Personal fave: mango. Some of them even have SPF 15.
6. The Body Shop's honey lip balm. We find it great, the only con is that you need to stick your finger in the little pot! So, you definitely need to have your hands as clean as possible before applying it. But it is amazing, really.

We’re definitely gonna still try as many lip balms as possible, so we can write more reviews and recommend them to you, beautiful people. And, well, that’s just another excuse to do a little shopping, yay!

Thanks for reading the post. Don’t forget to keep in touch with us on social media or in the comments down below, we’d love it.

Matte lips

Something we are currently obsessed with is matte lipstick. We think it’s super cute but classy at the same time. Plus, is one if the hot trends for this summer.

There’s a wide color range, so women can pick their favorites. Red, pink, nude, purple and plum are the most popular ones, either light or dark. There are even blue and black matte lipsticks! So, trust us, you’ll find your favorite color.

      

   

       

Even though the dark ones seem to be way too much for summer, you can wear them with a very light eye makeup, so your lips get all the attention they deserve. And, if you're a more of a light lips girl, then you should definitely wear nudes, pinks and corals, they're really in for this summer.

For getting the perfect matte lips you'll need a good matte lipstick, a lip liner of a similar or same color as your lipstick and liquid concealer. Yes, you read right, concealer. First, you need to define your lips with the lip liner, make sure the lines are precise. Then, use the same lip liner to color your lips a little bit, but don't do it in all the area (this will keep your lipstick a longer time where it should be). Next, you will apply the matte lipstick in all your lips. After finishing with the lipstick, you can apply concealer around your lips with a makeup brush, in order to get a cleaner look. If you don't have concealer, don't worry, just make sure to define your lips correctly with the lip liner. And now, you're ready to go out rocking the perfect matte lips!

A lot of celebrities like to wear this, some of them are Rihanna, Kylie & Kendall Jenner, Pink, Jessie J, the gorgeous ladies from Little Mix, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Poppy and Cara Delevingne, Lorde, among many others.

 

We know bold colors, like a very bright red, are scary to wear. So, if you want to use a dark or bright lipstick, but you’re too afraid of what people think, WEAR IT. Don’t give a damn of wha, others might say, ‘cause as long as you’re comfortable in your own skin and love it, it’s great. Please yourself, not the others.

If you don't think you can rock a dark or bright matte lips, just give it a try at home. This way, you'll be able to see if you like the look or not without going out. Who knows? Maybe you find your new best friend in a matte lipstick.

  

Sadly, this is the end of this Beauty Wednesday post :( BUT, we'll see you tomorrow with a Travel Thursday post and next week we've got another Beauty Wednesday. YAY!
