The Lighter Than Ever Lip

BellaSugar — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 09:10:22 -0700

Nude lips have been a hot beauty trend over the last two seasons, but from the looks of all the new 2007 Spring makeup collections, the latest and greatest nude lip is lighter than ever. The vast array of pale beige glosses seem like they would only flatter olive complexions, but with all of the amazing bronzers available, anyone can achieve a super sexy light lip! Here are three lighter than ever nudes, I think you'll love just as much as I do! Also, for more favorite nude lip colors from retail-therapy, click here.

NARS Lip Gloss in Striptease, $23, is a light ivory/cream candlelight color that adds oodles of shine to a flawless face with a smoky or bold eye. This gloss can help to balance out any bold feature for that matter.

You can also add some luminizer to your cheeks and this neutral color will give you even more pop! Striptease can be worn alone or on top of any lipstick that you'd like to lighten and brighten.

New! Bobbi Brown's Surf & Sand Lip and Eye Collection

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 08:21:22 -0700

New for Summer 2007, is Bobbi Brown's Surf and Sand Collection. These refreshing summer products consist of a light, ocean colored eye palette and three new sparkly lip gloss colors. Bobbi Brown feels "There's nothing more beautiful than a wash of shimmering aqua on eyes paired with a fresh pops of color on cheeks and lips." I totally agree - but then again, with a bit of a summer tan (GASP), I think that all makeup looks better!

Surf and Sand Eye Palette, $42, is a limited edition block of ten aqua, light pink, taupe, sea green and sand colored eye shadows. Each of the colors are pearlized, shimmery and soft. They are very wearable and can be worn individually or blended together.

The three new Shimmer Lip Glosses, $19, are made from the same, original high shine gloss formula we love from Bobbi Brown. They are also infused with vanilla so they smell fab. The colors are Pink Blossom, Warm Peach and Cocoa Bling. They look amazing with the new eye palette and a neutral to pink colored blush for an optimal fresh summer look.

Berries, bright pinks and flirty fuchsias are a hot beauty trend that have been seen on the runways and at the cosmetics counters for Spring! Here are three of my favorite beautiful berry lip glosses:

Aveda Lip Glaze in RubiSparks, $15, is a succulent rich translucent color. It has intense shine and is made from ripe berry anti-oxidants and plant derived moisturizing ingredients. It is also flavored with yummy and organic peppermint and ginger.

I love the brush on this gloss. It has an angled-tip to ensure smooth application. The tube is made of 50% post-consumer recycled materials and the packaging comes from 100% recycled newsprint shell so it's good for the environment too!

Nars Lip Gloss in Boogie Nights, $23, has crazy shine! This is a bold berry color that goes on smooth, creamy and semi-sheer. You can wear Boogie Nights alone or layered on top of your favorite lipstick.

This gloss has an instant warming effect on your face due to its hint of iridescence and its deep berry color. Try it out and see what I mean.

Bobbi Brown Lip Tint SPF 15 in Black Cherry , $17, is a sheer plum red color that enhances lips and also protects them from sun damage. Just a little of this stuff goes a long way. The best part about this gloss is the peppermint scent. Available in nine colors.

Spring Lip Glosses, Part I: Lovely Lilacs

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:24:33 -0700

Welcome to part one of this five part series on Spring lip glosses! Lilacs, light violets and luscious purples are a hot beauty trend that have been seen on the runways and all over the cosmetics counters for Spring! Here are three of my favorites:

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy® Lip Gloss in Ripened, $12, is a long lasting, ultra sexy and shiny color-rich gloss that adds illustrious shine to your lips without that gooey sticky feeling. This soft and sexy color looks great alone or is perfect over any soft purple or neutral colored lipstick.

Laura Mercier Lip Gloss in Violet Glace, $20, is an all time favorite of mine. I wear it over her Amethyst Lipstick and it never fails me.

This gloss glides on smoothly and evenly and it feels very hydrating on your mouth since it contains Vitamin E, Lanolin and mineral oil. It is sheer enough to be worn alone, but also perfect for layering.

e.l.f. Hypershine Gloss in Joy, $1, is a soft and subtle color. This is a super shiny gloss infused with micro-mirror technology to reflect light. It has a delicious scent to it as well as a fun twist-and-click feature that brings the gloss to the applicator. Best of all, this gloss is a real bang for your buck!
