The Perfect Lip

It's that time of the year that no matter what you do, it feels like your lips are always dry, and applying lipstick looks horrible and nothing is working out right. I feel like my lips are chapped literally all year round and no matter how hot or cold it is, I'm always wearing chap stick. And I hate wearing matte lipsticks because it just makes my lips look so ugly! But I think I finally found a solution for once and for all! In this post I will share how I make sure my lips look nice and luscious throughout the cold winter months, and these are products you can use whenever!

I went to Lush about a week or so ago, and I saw this lip scrub that I always wanted to try but it always killed me because I didn't want to spend almost $10 on a lip scrub! Especially since the container is super tiny! But I heard so many great things about it so I decided to join the band wagon and I ended up buying the mint one. And.... IT'S FREAKING MAZING! I love it so so so much! I didn't realize a lip scrub could be such a life chaining product haha :,) I noticed a difference within the few times I used it. It took all the dead skin off my lips and they were so soft and smooth after. And I could even wear a matte lipstick and it didn't leave my lips looking disgusting! I would strongly recommend investing in once of these, and yes the container is so tiny, but you need the smallest amount. I use it every 2 or 3 days.

 It's also important to prime your lips. yes, there are primers for your lipstick! My favorite one is the Ultimate Ozone from Urban Decay. It makes your lipstick last longer and it also prevents your lipstick from going all around your lips. This primer is an all over primer so you can even use it as an eye primer if you really wanted to!

Lat but not least, you need a good lipstick. I recently got this one from Urban Decay it's the Sheer Streak. I feel like it is a bit more of a cumber or spring color but I like how it looks on the lip. It gives you some color but because it's sheer it's not too much. It's really nice and moisturizing, and because it's not matte you do need to reapply it a few times throughout the day. I don't get those people that hate reapplying their lipstick, I love it! 

Let me know what your lip essentials are! :)

October Ipsy 2015

Here is the October Ipsy! Once again I am loving this bag! Lately I think they improved their bags and there wasn't one I hated too much. I do personally like the longer shape but I still think this one was super cute. One side is gold and the other side is black so they are still sticking to the autumn theme which is really nice I think.

Here is the other side of the bag. And the items that were included this month are all pretty amazing. there isn't one thing I wasn't impressed with at first sight. usually they send a whole bunch of things I end up not using but I loved the variety in this bag. It includes:

-Aurora Gel Effect Nail Laquer in the shade Inky Dinky

-dr.brandt microdermabrasion skin exfoliant

-Meet Matt(e) Hughes by the Balm in the color committed 

-pure vanilla by the healthy fragrance

-Eyeliner by the coastal scents

I already put on the nail polish. the shade is a really really really dark purple so it did come out looking a bit black but it's not. What I really like about it is that is has a gel effect but without having to use a lamp which is really nice. And it dried super quick which I think is so important!

I also tried the lip gloss and I fell in love with it. This is the first lip gloss ever that has looked nice on me and hasn't dried my lips up where it starts to peel because that always happens. The color is also a really pretty nude and one coat literally lasts all day, it's pretty ridiculous. 

Lush Haul

A few days ago I went into Lush and picked up some goodies. the second I got home I snapped a few pictures because I knew they wouldn't last long. It's finally October so it means its time for pamper sessions and baths and it's all so exciting. I wish Lush stores were bigger so the shopping experience would be a bit more clever but their stuff is just amazing. So far the pumpkin is my favorite one by far, I need to make it last!
