L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour

Mickey says: "Comfort, true color, and long wear are the claims of L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour. This is a lip color that lives up to its promises. I tried the opulent shade of crimson out overnight on a bright white pillowcase (pretty scary for my boyfriend). Nothing transferred off, and better yet, my lips weren’t shriveled up and dried out in the morning. With 24 shades you can definitely find one to match your preference and it’s a great choice for brides."

These tropical scented skin softeners are loaded up with vitamin e as well as fruit extracts. Two new colors French Rose and Downtown Peach are here in time for spring."

This simply mahvelous formula is made with natural extracts of mango and grape seed, rose hips and apricot kernel. This non-sticky gloss hydrates lips and restores their suppleness as antioxidants help reserve a healthy appearance.

Benefit Cupid’s Bow Set

Mickey says: "Benefit has exposed another beauty artist secret with Cupid’s Bow Set. Not only do you have the instructions inside to achieve a perfectly sculpted bowed upper lip, you’ve even got the tools (double ended brush and smudger). One thick coloring stick lets you stain a deep natural lip shade on one end, while a highlighter on the other side screams “look at me” with its brightening eye attracting affects. This beauty duo is perfect for most gals except deep dark skin tones."

Time for some lip love with cupid's bow, a lovely lip shaping set. What exactly is cupid's bow? Webster says: "it's the double curve of the upper lip." Benefit says: "it's the most provocative part of your pucker!" One end of the double-ended pencil, the bow maker, accents & highlights the curve of your cupid's bow. The other end, the pout shaper, is for precision shaping to give you the perfect pucker. Comes with dual-ended brush & sponge for defining and blending. Each cupid's bow has a step-by-step lesson, so it's as easy as blowing a kiss!

Julie Hewett Noir in Femme Noir

Mickey says: "With all the stay put colors for lips, I find it difficult to use brands that transfer off on him or your glass, but OMG is this shade traffic stopping. I want to put it on pale, velvety matte skin and then apply it on the darkest, shiniest skin I can find. It’s got twice the pigment as most other lipsticks and the golden tube it arrives in is so retro fabulous. I feel like pairing a little swanky hat with it!"

The noir collection features the best long-lasting, double-pigmented lipsticks with the essence of rosebud and camellia oils. As a complement to the lipstick collection, Julie also created matching lip liners for each of the noir reds.

Korres Lip Butter

Mickey says: "I was introduced to Greece's own Korres Natural Products at the Fresh Hotel in Athens. After my first shower I ran to the nearest pharmacy to stock up on obscene amounts of Korres. These basic beauty commodities weren't available in the States, but now Korres is available at Sephora. My favorite is the Pomegranate Lip Butter, which is basically Pomegranate tinted shea butter. Pure and pretty. Love it!!!"

These buttery tints leave a sheer color on lips and contain shea butter for deep moisturization. Lip Butter is part of the Korres Color Collection, a range of homeopathic formulas that provide flawless color and skincare benefits from natural ingredients.
