Sweet as candy: Sephora Collection Lollipop Lip Gloss

December 5, 2012

Once in awhile, it’s okay to buy products just for the packaging. Especially when they’re as adorable as the Sephora Collection Lollipop Lip Gloss.

This lip gloss looks just like a lollipop—and the color is just as sweet! Inside the round black ball is a gorgeous pale pink gloss liberally loaded with sparkle. It creates a gorgeous, almost clear finish, so it’s perfect for layering over other glosses and lipsticks.

Plus, it isn’t sticky or tacky at all. It feels just like a lip balm! Oh, and the cherry on top? It smells and tastes just like a lollipop!

The Sephora Collection Lollipop Lip Gloss retails for $6 at sephora.com.

Dressed up or dressed down Selena Gomez has the right pout

November 29, 2012

What a difference a week can make in the life of a teenager! Back on November 20, Selena Gomez was poised to launch her new collaboration with Adidas, in perfectly appropriate teen attire. Then exactly a week later she pulled out the stops in a stunning panel dress that showed off her pretty figure. But both looks were topped off by Selena’s preference for a shiny, nude lip color.

Selena’s look is easily copied with Dior Addict Lipstick. Their sheer color formula packs high shine and soft moisture into one killer lip color. For a more tannish nude, like Selena sported for the Adidas shoot, Dior Addict Lipstick in Tulle 214 (light beige) should do the trick. But if you’re looking for a sheer and shiny pink like she opted for on the red carpet, Dior Addict Lipstick Urban 178 (sheer pale pink) is your best bet.

You can buy Dior Addict Lipstick in 28 shades (including the two mentioned above) for $30 at sephora.com.

Star style: Dontcha wish your lips were pink like Nicole Scherzinger's

November 1, 2012

Nicole Scherzinger let her mouth do all the talking for her at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards. With her bold, super-bright, pink lips she was definitely making a bold statement. Women with high self confidence should have no problem rocking a color this bright on their mouth, but if you are a little more unsure of yourself you might want to opt for a slightly more subtle shade.

To copy Nicole’s lips you need look no further than these three possibilities.

MAC Cosmetics Glamour Daze Lipstick in Outrageously Fun (pictured far left) is a great midtone magenta violet, get it for $16.50 at maccosmetics.com.

Smashbox BCRF Be Legendary Lipstick in Inspiration (pictured center) is a fun, deep and bright berry color, get it for $19 at smashbox.com.

Too Faced La Crème in Razzle Dazzle Rose (pictured far right) is the perfect bright pink, with just a hint of lilac, shade, get it for $21 at dermstore.com.

If you haven’t heard about Clinique’s Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms before, you’ve been missing out. First of all they offer sheer, shiny color with super-moisturizing properties.

Star style: copy Emma Stone's sheer stain

October 18, 2012

Emma Stone stepped out for Elle’s Women in Hollywood Tribute with a homerun of a look. Her fringe bangs and side layers framed her rosy-colorwashed cheeks perfectly, while her raspberry stained lips coordinated beautifully with her dress. Then there were her dramatic eyes, peeking out under her long bangs they were bright and blue under a thick line of dark eyeliner. Her look was bright and dramatic enough for the flashbulb frenzy that accompanies red carpet events. If you’re looking for something a little less flashy but just as fresh, you’re going to want to focus on your lips and not your eyes.

To achieve stained, yet soft, lip color you’ll want to check out a product like Smashbox’s Limitless Lip Stain and Color Seal Balm in Sangria or Petal. With a feather-resistant stain in marker form on one end, you’ll be able to easily apply the color and watch it sink into lips, creating color depth. Then you can use the lip balm at the other end to add a little moisture and softness back to lips to really set the look.

You can buy Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain and Color Seal Balm for $23 at nordstrom.com.
