Lip Shimmers for Love that Tingles with Burt’s Bee Stung Kisses

Lucille Chi — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:26:44 +0000

I’m smitten with Burt’s Bees lip shimmers. These luscious lipsticks go on easy with a simple recyclable applicator that’s built to last. The 100% natural lip balm includes ingredients like vitamin E and coconut and sunflower oils which moisturize and soothe lips.

The main ingredient is sunflower oil, a delightful nutritious skin food for the face and body (so feel free to smooch away), it is also just fabulous for oily skin and the flower’s petals are frequently used as a common beauty care ingredient.

This lovely lipstick also comes in a variety of shades. “Choose from 11 yummy, all natural shades: Champagne, Raisin, Merlot, Rhubarb, Watermelon, Nutmeg, Fig, Cocoa, Toffee, Guava and Papaya.” There is also a dash of rosemary and peppermint leaf oil in the balm for that soothing and all natural (chemical free) plumping action and fresh tingle.

The Seven Best :: Classic Red Lipsticks For The Perfect Pout.

For girls who love makeup, the perfect red lipstick is as essential as air, water, fashion. Red has graced some of the sexiest lips around and it’s actually a very forgiving color for anyone to wear if you find the right shade. Gwen Stefani always rocks the perfect pout. Problem is, if you’ve ever mounted a search to find what should be a ubiquitous item - you’ll know as well as I do that finding the perfect shade is about as elusive as getting your hands on a sample from a designers collection, six months ahead of time. Near impossible. Sure, there are loads of reds if you don’t mind slathering your pout with petrochemicals & parabens and ingesting all that toxicity, but for you discerning ecoista out there who are savvy enough to know better, here’s my lineup of the best, classic, modern, fresh, organic & natural reds.

Key Makeup Looks For Fall - Au Naturale.

Emma Pezzack — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:00:16 +0000

Everyone has a different idea of what looks natural and as always what suits one doesn’t necessarily work for another. Here are three looks taken from the Fall ‘08 RTW collections showcasing various ways to interpret natural. The key to any natural makeup look is keeping it simple, real, light in texture and easy to apply. The perfect product to do all of that? A genius multi-tasker that can be used for several different applications. A favorite organic & natural beauty product to help achieve these looks above is the brilliant and multi-tasking Suki Pure Cream Stain for Lips & Cheeks. Silky to apply, blends beautifully, loaded with pigment (use a lot or a little), melds with skin & full of organic goodness.
