Take care of your lips!

Welcome Winter!

One thing that the cold Winter months are guaranteed to bring is chapped, dry and cracked lips. This is both uncomfortable and can be unattractive. The best way to avoid this look is to regularly apply some form of lip care like a chapstick or a lip balm. This is important to do after you eat or drink anything and before you go to bed. My preferred lip care is using either my Coca-Cola Cherry Lip Balm or one of my Maybelline Baby Lips one.

However, all is not lost and dry lips can be minimised or even prevented by regularly exfoliating your lips. This is because it helps to keep them smooth and crack free. One of my previous blog posts explains how to do this using Vaseline. If you want to see it click here.

Determine your skin's undertone

Determining your skin's undertone is not as difficult as you might think. When you know what your skin's undertone is, it becomes so easy to pick up the right shade of foundation as well as knowing which lipstick shades/tones will compliment your more. You will be much better off knowing your undertone. The three types of skin undertones are cool, warm and neutral. There are many different ways that can be used to determine your undertone.

Cool undertones Your wrist veins appear blue/purple in natural lighting You can burn easily in the sun Colours that flatter you are: red, navy blue, hot pink, plums, black and soft pastel colours If you have a cool undertone your skin will have more of a 'pinkish or blue' tone to it.

L'Oreal Colour Riche 373 Magnetic Coral Lipstick Review

I went out shopping the other day and I was casually browsing the makeup aisles and I came across this lipstick. I used the tester to swatch and I was blown away by both the colour and it's creamy texture. I absouletly love the colour of this lipstick, which is a beautiful coral shade and is very pigmented. The packaging is sleek and modern, and the use of the gold exterior gives this lipstick a high-end feel. This lipstick is very moisturising and glides on so easy without clinging to the slightly dry parts of my lips. I am not surprised that this lipstick is so moisturising as L'Oreal state that all the lipsticks in their Colour Riche selection are 'enriched with a combination of Omega-3 and Vitamin E and leaves your lips feeling moisturised'.

Coca Cola Cherry Lip Smacker Review

Amazing smell! Since secondary school (I'm now 21) I have been using my trusted Coco Cola Cherry Lip Balm! I honestly don't know where I would be without it! It used to be £1 at Primark (I stocked up!) now I can never seem to find it there, which is a shame. However, it can be found in Tesco but at £2.50. Why I love this lip balm? it has a red hint of colour it is hydrating, especially in the Winter months it also has the most amazing cherry smell, which does in fact smell like Coco Cola Cherry! Although it doesn't taste like it though! (Don't worry, I don't go round eating lip balms!). Swatch Coco Cola Cherry Lip Smacker- single swatch If you can get your hands on this get it! You will not be disappointed, let me know if you do. I would love to hear if you love this as much as I do! Available online in a set of 6 (including other 'flavours') for £9.99!
