Make Your Lips Kissable This Valentine’s Day With Napoleon Perdis, beautyADDICTS and L’Oreal

Want to add a little sparkle to your look in time for Valentine’s day? The easiest way to update your look and feel fab is trying a new lip gloss or lipstick. Here are a few new ones to help you change things up and to enjoy your Valentine’s kisses?

Inspired by the fabulous success of the Chandelier Shine nail polishes, Napoleon Perdis introduces 12 ultra glossy lip glosses in a perfectly matched pack. From top to toe you’re covered with the Chandelier Shine Lip Gloss pack ($15.00 USD), which includes one lip gloss and one nail polish. the perfect accessory to compliment any polished look. From soft French Pink to the dark hues of Moroccan Velvet and Santorini Sunset, these hues let your lips and nails shine!

Chandelier Shine Lip Glosses add brilliant texture and glide smoothly (never sticky) for that camera ready pout. With the added benefit of marine collagen, Chandelier Shine Lip Gloss delivers lip repairing properties, keeping lips moist and full, while contouring for a sweet supple look. The nail polishes provide long-lasting shine and amazing chip free technology. The UV protectors prevent yellowing and nail hardening.

I love this lip gloss. I have it in Ritzy, a dark red with warm undertones. I usually don’t wear red as I prefer softer lip shade, but I really like this one. This can be very opaque, so I just apply a little and press my lips together so it blends sheerly. Very pretty! You can also go for the wow factor by applying it full on. This kit is available in 12 shades from a pearly pink to a dark red. You can purchase this at Zappos.com.

Another great gloss is the beautyADDICTS SweetLIPS Gloss ($17.00 USD). This new high shine gloss hydrates with soothing Vitamin E and Jojoba Butter that moisten and heal battered lips. Not to mention, SweetLIPS will leave you tasting as good as you look with a hint of Vanilla.

Available in four shades that look great on all skin-tones:
Glow – Blush is the perfect special occasion pink
Express – Sheer Peach is a beautifully natural shade with a touch of coral
Motivate – Lilac is a fun lavender-pink
Seduce – Black Cherry is a deep berry shade that creates the perfect glam-lip

This yummy gloss really hydrates my lips! I have the Motivade shade and it is sweet and Spring-y. These glosses are not sticky an feel great on. Visit www.beautyaddicts,com to learn more and to purchase!

Want a lipstick that will withstand Valentine’s kisses? Take your lips to the next level with L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge ($9.99 USD).

I have the Perpetual Peach — the color that Jennifer Lopez wore at the Golden Globes. This color is so soft and pretty, perfect for day wear or for night with a bronze smoky eye. Don’t worry if this is not your color — it is available in a whopping 30 shades. Visit www.lorealparisusa.com to learn more and you can purchase at drugstores and mass market retailers near you!

Pretty Up Your Pout With Glossticks by Jemma Kidd

Inspired by Jemma’s childhood days in Barbados, Jemma Kidd Make Up School introduces a brand new product to the range; Hi-Shine Hydrating Glosstick SPF15 ($25.00 USD). This gives a sheer wash of colour for lips with a hi-shine gloss finish. Available in a paradise palette of five stunning shades reminiscent of the island’s colourful Caribbean splendor. Benefits of this product are:

Chisel bullet for precise and even application
Soothing and hydrating formula
Light reflective particles for added fullness to lips
SPF 15 for protection from damaging UVA/UVB rays
Available in 5 shades: Bridgetown, Hibiscus, Sugar Cane, Holders and Paradise

What I think: I have Sugar Cane, which is a shimmery shade of coral. This is such a beautiful color and product that it is hard to believe that it has SPF protection! It glides on easily and instantly moisturizes my lips. It also gives a glossy finish. The packaging is also inventive as the tube clicks into the cap and you have to press the bottom of the tube to release it. That means that it doesn’t come undone in your purse. Very nice! Visit www.jemmakidd.com to learn more and find out where to purchase these fab glossticks!

New Products From Laura Geller

You can not go wrong with Laura Geller’s fantastic make-up. She has some great new products that are perfect for the warmer weather including a lightweight tinted moisturizer and lip gloss with SPF and waterproof eyeliners. Try:

Barely There Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (30.00 USD) is a foundation, sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection, and antioxidant moisturizer all in one. This product is hypoallergenic, water-resistant, suitable for all skin types and is oil, fragrance, and talc free.

I love the texture of this tinted moisturizer. It isn’t too thin, which is great because I do get great coverage and a very natural look. The finish is not too shiny, but I get a little glow when I wear it. Very fab spring and summer foundation!

I-Care Eyeliner Waterproof Pencil Trio ($25.00 USD) — This is a fantastic eyeliner set. First of all, you get 3 universal shades, Black, Brown and Eggplant. Second, the tip is fine so you can draw a line as thick or as thin as you want. Need a thinner tip, sharpen the pencil with the built-in sharpener. Want a thicker line, use the included smudger for a smoky look. Plus the pencil is water-resistant and is ophthalmologist-tested and specifically formulated for use around the eyes, even for those who wear contact lenses and have sensitive eyes. Two thumbs up for these fab pencils!

Mini Shine and Shield SPF 15 Lip Gloss Trio ($24.00 USD) — These are like a shiny, liquid lipstick, instead of a sticky gloss. They contain a blend of vitamin E, cocoa seed butter, and pomegranate extract, Jojoba and safflower seed oil to help soften and moisturize lips. Plus, there is an SPF of 15 in each gloss. They taste yummy, too!

Bobbi Brown Makeup Facelift Collection

I work from home everyday except for Thursday, when I go into the office. Yesterday I walked in and the first person who looked at me said, “Wow! You look young”. Seriously.

So I had to remember what I had on, and then it hit me…I was using three products from Bobbi Brown’s Facelift Collection; the Brow Pencil, the Brightening Lip Gloss and the wonderful Tinted Eye Brightener.

Bobbi’s Tinted Eye Brightener ($38.00 USD), now in a NEW portable pen. This use to be available in a little pot, but now it is in a, easy to use pen. This takes a few twists at first to get it flowing, but then it saturates the brush and you can go to town! I find that it hides my under eye circles pretty well and brightens the eye area. I do think that the price may be a little much, but it is a nice product to have in your purse. Available in eight shades.

Brow Pencil ($20.00 USD) — Brows do frame the face, so it is important to keep them groomed. I have very dark brow and haven’t had to use brow products, until recently. My brows are now thinning and look a little faded. This pencil is easy to use to color in and define brows and even comes with it’s own sharpener. I use the darkest color, Mahogany — but it is also available in Wheat, Blonde, Grey and Ash. What I have noticed about this is that it is very creamy, but you only have a few seconds to play with it before it dries and WILL NOT BUDGE! This is great, because you do not want your brows migrating south, but just be aware if you need to smudge or remove.

Brightening Lip Gloss ($20.00 USD) This sheer, reflective formula wakes up your face and helps create fuller lips. I like to wear it alone, but you can wear it on top of lipstick. I liked the color of this gloss — a light pink called Popsicle that looked more wearable on than in the tube. I thought it might look a little young on me, but it is very pretty. The only down side to this gloss is that it is a little sticky and the brush fanned out on me and won’t go back into shape. It is available in 6 brightening shades, the two new ones are Popsicle and Nectar, a peachy-pink. It also comes in Peach, Pink, Pink Lilac and White.

Kiss My Face Sheer Organic Lip Shimmers and Shines

Kiss My Face is an organic beauty company that believes that nature creates the best ingredients and that its their job to combine these natural and organic ingredients into fabulous body care.

On of their newer products are the Sheer Organic Shimmers ($4.95 USD) & Shines ($6.95 USD). These good-for-you lip colors contain natural mineral color, vitamins A&E to repair and protect lips and have a minty organic flavor. They also contain organic shea butter for protection and shine, organic cocoa butter to soothe and jojoba oil to moisturize. All are earth friendly products containing no parabens, SLS, phthalates, synthetic colors or flavors, and use of animal ingredients or testing.

My favorite of the two is the lip shimmer. This is a very sheer lip balm that has a hint of color and leaves a really pretty shimmer to the lips. It is very moisturizing and stays on my lips for a long time. The flavor is subtle, too. The lip shine is nice as well, and is not a sticky gloss which is very good. It is for when you want a lot of shine, but its minty taste is almost overwhelming.

I recommend these affordable and fun lip colors! Both products come in 6 jewel-toned shades: Opal, Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Topaz and Ruby. Visit www.kissmyface.com to learn more and to purchase. Enjoy!

Try A New Look in 2010 with beautyADDICTS

beautyADDICTS has the right idea. They have four makeup collections: Glow (icy pinks and lavenders), Express (buff, cream and bronze), Motivate (berry, plum and pink) and Seduce (silver, black and ruby). Each collection includes eye shadow and lip gloss quads, blush and shimmer duos and an eye pencil, lip pencils and lipsticks.

I think the Express Collection ($169.00 USD for whole collection shown above) is especially nice for a polished, every day look. I love the eye shadow quad ($35.00 USD). These silky, luxurious shadows go on smooth and stay on all day. It includes a matte off-white for highlighting, a shimmery rose gold for the lid, a shimmery bronze for contour and a matte espresso for lining.

I also love the lip gloss quads ($28.00) in shades ranging from buff to deep bronze. The glosses are smooth, not sticky and you can blend them together for the perfect shade.

So if you are looking for a new quality makeup look for 2010, try beautyADDICTS. Visit www.beautyaddicts.com to purchase these fantastic products. Enjoy!

Palladio Cosmetics Part 2 — More Great Herbal Cosmetics!

I have reviewed the herbal, vitamin enriched and very affordable Palladio beauty products before. I have recently tried some different products from this great line and wanted to share!

The Rice Paper ($4.00) is one of Palladio’s most ingenious and bestselling products. This is a very unique, oil-absorbing two-sided, tissue that is made with natural rice. The matte side (without powder) is for blotting to absorb the excess oils and the powdered side is for finishing. This neat product is packaged in a pull out tissue packet that is will fit in even the smallest handbag. It comes in Translucent, Natural for lighter skin tones and Warm Beige for darker skin tones. This is great for mid-day freshening up.

For lip products, I love the Lip Ink ($6.00) and the Plump n’ Shine Lip Gloss ($6.00). The lip ink is like a marker for the lips. It is touted as hydrating and waterproof, but it actually makes my lips a little dry. I do love the stained look it give. I tried Rose, which is like my lips, but brighter! To keep lips moisturized, I like applying the Plump n’ shine gloss over the Lip Ink. This gloss has a collagen and maxi lip formula for luscious plumped up lips. It includes a brush applicator and is enriched with herbal ingredients. This is not a plumper that stings, it naturally enhances lips.

Herbal Mascaras ($6.00) — are uniquely packaged with a brush and lash separator on one end. They are fortified with panthenol and vitamin B5 to strengthen and thicken lashes. They are also enriched with 5 beneficial herbs: ginseng, green tea, gingko biloba, chamomile and aloe vera for conditioning. The mascara are available in Lengthening, Thickening and Waterproof formulas. I have the thickening mascara and it does thicken my lashes and doesn’t run.
