Nude Lips With a Sexy Shine

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 13:01:49 -0700

As both a lip balm addict and a lip gloss lover, I have a hard time deciding which gooey stuff should go on my lips at any given moment. Even if I want a nude look for my lips, plain old lip balm doesn't give me the polished look I need. For that reason, I am currently obsessed with C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine, made by the Greenwich Village apothecary brand that's sold at Bath & Body Works. I love this stuff for so many reasons, starting with the super-high-gloss finish that makes even nude lips look nicely made up. Better yet, the moisturizing shine feels more like lip balm than lip gloss (note: kissing partners will appreciate this), and the tingly, minty flavor (advertised as a breath freshener) doesn’t conflict with my gum. You can buy it here for $7.50.

Lemons are synonymous with fresh feelings and clean aromas. These yellow delights have also been known to help treat varicose veins, high blood pressure, cold and flu symptoms, and bring down a fever. From a beauty perspective, lemons can help prevent acne and cellulite. Who knew lemons were so powerful? Take a peek at these fabulous lemon bath and body gift sets that do a body good.

Really Minty Lip Gloss

Ok, I was already crazy about C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shine and the other yummy breath-freshening lip balms on the market. But in the "what will they think of next?" category, you can now buy a lip gloss stocked with mini breath mints! This double-ended Lucky Chick Mint Jewel Lip, available in six shades for $16 here, has a normal lip-gloss applicator on one end and a reservoir of tiny mints on the other. How adorable is that? This would be great to take to a club, since it combines the lip gloss and mint necessities into one.

Breath-Freshening Lip Glosses

Who would have thought that cosmetics could help your coffee breath? Yes, it's true. I already know and love C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shine, but now there are even more breath-freshening lip glosses on the market. For a fresh, minty sensation, just apply and inhale these glosses to conquer bad breath. Don't think that means you can skip the tooth-brushing, though; they haven't come up with a cavity-fighting lip gloss just yet. Here are some of my freshening finds.

Sugar Cosmetics Freshen Up Trio is a set of three sheer, breath-freshening mini lip glosses. The flavors include a clear, shimmery Peppermint, the sheer red Cinnamon, and my personal fave, a two-tone iridescent Wintergreen flavor. They are super shiny and tiny, so you can stash one in your purse, one in your desk, and one by the bed. Buy the set here for $28.

Bliss Breath-Freshening Lip Balm is more of a balm than a gloss. It has a crisp and cool feeling that softens with Vitamins E and A, aloe vera, and mint oil to really give you that confidence kicker. Buy it here for $14.
