A real gem in lipstick department is the new LipFusion Plump + Replump Liquid Lipstick in Baby. Available in a range of colors from bright (Baby) to neutral (Naked), this unique lipstick plumps your lips on contact but the magic doesn’t stop there, oh no! When you lick your lips or press them together, the formula goes to work again to make sure your pucker doesn’t tucker out. Even as you gossip with a girlfriend over lunch at a fancy restaurant, as your lips touch while you’re pondering just exactly what they could possibly do next on Keeping up with the Kardashians, or which designer is going to be Hilary’s ‘go-to’ if she gets into the White House, you know your lips are full and so very fierce!

 

 

 

 

Poppy is indeed the Lipstick Queen, but her new Shine lip gloss proves she is just as talented in this capacity. All the gloss colors are marvy; you can’t go wrong with any of them, but I am partial to the Opal Saint. The Clear Sinner is another winner, as it looks great over any lip stain or lipstick to get that extra punch we all want for our fab lips. Don’t miss Poppy’s new book, ‘Lessons of a Lipstick Queen: Finding and Developing the Great Idea that Can Change Your Life’. It’s chock full of business and life advice that can help you make your creams come true. Reading it is like having Poppy as your personal mentor; we can all use a cheerleader in business and in daily life. Rock on, Poppy!

 

 

Stila Shine Lip Color SPF 20 comes in great shades and feels wonderful on your lips but my emphasis here is on the SPF factor. Many people unknowingly don’t properly protect their lips and, god forbid, wind up with cancerous lesions ~ don’t go there! Did you know that hunky McSteamy, Eric Dane, dealt with this horror earlier this year? I have two beach trips coming up this summer and I can promise you I’ll be sporting Stila Shine Lip Color SPF 20 in Georgina 24/7. Protect yourself from the sun, ladies, because no one is going to do it for you!

 

 

I only recently learned about 29 Cosmetics and I’m so glad I did. I can’t get enough of their Dew Grape Seed Age Protecting Lip Gloss SPF 15. Grape seed is loaded with anti oxidant power to nourish your lips and protect them from harsh yucky things in the environment. All the 29 Cosmetics products feature it. Love that it contains sun protection, too.

 

 

 

Do you want lips like those of Katie Holmes (is it ‘Kate’ now??), Lindsay Lohan, Charlize Theron or Kate Moss? Sara Happ’s The Lip Scrub is loved by these celebs and by me, too! I have never used a lip exfoliator quite as superior as this stuff! It comes in luscious flavors too, including Brown Sugar, Cocoa and Almond Crème. Please try this! Your lips will never be the same and you will wonder how you got along without this product. Get your lips in the best shape possible for all the pencils, glosses, lipsticks, balms and kisses you’ll be putting on and raking in this summer!

 

Please comment on lip products that you love! Lips are a huge part of how we look and make up our faces. Even if I don’t wear a stitch of any other makeup, I ALWAYS have something on my lips. Good lips are hip. And good lips can help draw attention away from your hips, if your hips aren’t your favorite thing about your body. That sounded sort of weird, but you get my drift, right?
