Red and Nude Lips


Don't let red lipsticks scare you away, if you pair up red lips with a neutral eye look anyone
can pull it off.
TIP: If you have full lips , try and keep it matte as this will keep the look put together and not draw so much attention to your lips,
If you have smaller lips , add a gloss on top of the lipstick to make your lips look full.

Who doesn't want luscious lips? How exfoliating is so Important!

Exfoliation is basically removing the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin that are just accumulating! Exfoliation does not only apply to the lips, you can exfoliate anywhere but I am going to concentrate this post on lip exfoliates. To maintain your lips and keep them healthy they need to be taken care of, just applying layers of chapstick does not do the trick. You need to start off with a fresh canvas which would be exfoliated lips in order to proceed with better application of lipsticks,lipgloss, even chapstick.



How to exfoliate:

This does not need to be expensive, you can make lip exfoliants in your own kitchen. Just combine honey and an abrasive salt or sugar, if you want to keep it sweet than stick to sugar. Honey keeps your skin hydrated, so hydrated lips means softer, supple, and more attractive lips. The combination of sugar will keep it gentle on the lips by removing the dead skin cells as well.

Mix the combination and apply the exfoliant to your lips with a cotton ball, using gentle pressure massage away the dead skin cells. This will also bring blood flow to your lips which will leave them a bright rosy colour. Wipe off the excess and apply a lip moisturizer of your choice to lock it all in. Practice this about once a week and you will see how chapped lips disappear.

Keep your kisser in the A-game ;).

Winter-proof yourself !!


The winters in Toronto tend to get really cold and basically everything from your
hair to your lips to your skin get all chapped and dried up. I tried using all kinds of
lip products such as blistex and body shop lip balms and nothing has sealed in the moisture
like Burt's Bee's lip Balm!! 
The reason why Burt's Bees lipbalm is so great is because of the coconut and sunflower oil that is incorporated into their formula.
Coconut oil is really moisturizing for hair, skin and lips.
Another tip: try heating up some coconut oil to a warm temperature and massage it throughout your hair and skin. This will get the blood flow running to your scalp which encourages hair growth and shine, this also prevents the dryness on your scalp which causes dandruff in the winter time.
Your lips, hair and skin will lovee you.
Give yourself a coconut oil massage, you deserve it ;).
