I bought this a few weeks ago after checking out some stuff at Sephora. It screamed my name as a walked by; I had to have it. The finish is creamy and is similar to that of M.A.C.’s cremesheen,yet it is a matte. Color pay off is identical to an amplified lipstick.

Bite Beauty sauntered on to the beauty scene with its lipsticks, balms and glosses packed with resveratrols (antioxidants found in red wines). Since we undoubtedly end up eating many of the lip products we apply, loading products with antioxidants and other natural ingredients makes total sense.
Hence why I couldn’t resist purchasing Bite Beauty’s whipped cherry lip scrub. I wear makeup at least 5 days out of the week. That usually consists of lip colors that are very pigmented. Bright pinks, rich reds and deep purples are what I often opt for. While these hues look great on, the after effects wreak total havoc on my pucker. I’m talking dry, flaky lips, leaving something to be desired.
Bite Beauty’s lip scrub has a post in el bano now for these rough situations. I apply it as soon as I step in the shower. I allow it to sit on my lips while I tend to other things. After a few minutes the warmth of the shower has loosened up the dead skin. I then take a warm wash cloth and sweep the struggles of the day away. The scrub also contains fruit acids rich in vitamin C and rice bran. Both brighten and keep the lips hydrated. The result? Soft, smooth, lips. I then follow with my current fave Super by Perricone Lush lips.
If your lips tend to be dry or like me, you abuse them- this is the product for you! All Bite products are free of parabens, synthetic dyes and fragrances.

Although this lipstick is a satin finish (my faves are cremesheen and amplified) I couldn’t resist snagging it when it released. Every single cent from the sale of Viva Glam goes toward helping women and children living with HIV/AIDS. The fact that I listen to Nicki’s music also made buying this non- negotiable.

Can you believe we will be ringing in 2012 in less than a week? I need to catch my breath for a moment! Not sure if I’m doing anything spectacular to bring in the new year, but no time like the present to explore looks for sipping champagne and dancing the night away.
Berry hued lips immediately suggest sexiness, and a great alternative if you normally wear red lipstick. The color is still a showstopper, therefore a soft but sultry eye would be in order. Heavy black liner and a neutral eye base paired with lashes and mascara and BAM! Use bronzer to add glow to the face, a soft blush and highlighter to add dimension – voila!

Let me be the first to say if I could try one of everything in the collection I gladly would. My checking account would so not appreciate that. I was able to get my hands on one of Mr.Ford’s lipstick Read the rest of this entry »
Inglot continues to widen its assortment. Over the last year the range of colors and finishes has grown exponentially. I guess the new year will bring more where that came from. Inglot has added five new shades to their already vast lipstick collection. Sadly, I want them all.
The formulation includes apricot kernel and vitamin E to keep the lips moisturized and protected. They are priced at $12 and available at all Inglot boutiques.
