Wow! Wow! and Wow!

All I can say is WoW!

Saturday night my husband and I went to a Christmas party. The Hostess is a customer of mine and had been wearing our long lasting lip colors for about two years.

Earlier last week we got together and combined two colors to match her semi-formal dress and an orchid her husband was getting for her. The dress was a darker purple with a light purple silk under blouse. The orchid had varying colors of purple and bright white colors.

We first put on two coats of plum on her lips with a top coat of pink shimmer. When we put it together it was absolutely perfect for her outfit. I didn't realize how great it looked until I saw her at the party. She got more "wows" for her lip color then were people at the party. She was pleased beyond measure and next week I have a number of potential customers lined up for me to design a custom lasting lip color for them.

Chapped Lips No More

Well here we are digging our of a "small" snow and ice storm. It's really the first of the season here in Wisconsin so there is a lot so slipping and sliding, until everyone learns to handle the slippery roads.

With the real coming of winter, can chapped lips be far behind?

I've cured and banished chapped lips a couple of years ago by using our moisturizing lip gloss. I use the gloss even when I'm not wearing long lasting lip colors. If my lip feel a bit dry I put on an application when going to bed and in the morning the dryness is gone.

For more on our moisturizing lip gloss I've devoted a whole page on my site to our shea butter based lip glosses. It's well worth your time to learn about the real way to get rid of chapped lips.

Lasting Lip Colors and Lip Gloss

Lip Gloss-The Forgotten Solution
 
The correct lip gloss not only lends a moisturizing effect to your lips, but also increases the beauty of the underlying liquid lip color. Learn how to eliminate chapped lips forever and the annoying habit of licking your lips in the attempt to add some moisture to your lips.

The cosmetic market is crowded with a multitude of lip gloss choices. Not all are beneficial to the moisturizing of your lips. Cream based lip glosses, for example, will dry out your lips and this is the last thing you want to do to moisturize and hydrate your lips.

What you need to find is a lip gloss that comes in a variety of finish choices such as: gloss, matte and pearl. The best lip glosses also come in a wide variety of colors ranging from blue based to a more toned down yellow based gloss. Applying colored glosses you can do double duty-add some attractive color to your lips and moisturize all in one application.

So you should consider using lip gloss as an integral part of your makeup to give color to your lips and as a moisturizer to hydrate your lips.

Ingredients in lip gloss can contain glycerin, aloe and possibly Vitamin E. All fall short in properly moisturizing your lips. The best basic lip gloss ingredient, in the opinion of many experts, is highly refined shea butter.
Shea butter is found in sub-tropical Africa. It is extracted from the nut of the Shea-Karite tree. The nuts from the Shea-Karite have a high content of irremovable fatty acid. It is this irremovable fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties and makes it far superior to cocoa butter and other vegetable butters. Refined Shea Butter is an all natural product.

Shea butter has been found by physicians to be beneficial in the treatment of the skin of burn victims. These same healing qualities in a lip gloss will eliminate chapped lips, and properly moisturize your lips.
Making the right selection in a lip gloss will take care of your lips and make them appear smooth, soft and kissable. A favorite makeup approach for many women is to apply long lasting lip color and then use a lip gloss based on highly refined Shea Butter for it moisturizing qualities.

The best long lasting liquid lip color, such a LipSense, is applied in three thin coats. This allows the Shea Butter based lip gloss to penetrate and perform their magic in moisturizing the lips.

Top 10 Reasons to Use Long Lasting Lipstick Lip Colors

Recently I conducted an informal survey among friends and customers to determine the benefits they noticed after they began wearing long lasting lipstick lip colors. Some had been wearing the long lasting lip colors a few weeks others up to a year. A few participants wore the lasting lip color almost all day every day others only at work and some a few times a week.

From their responses I’ve tallied up the results and here are the TOP 10 reasons. The results are in rough order of importance of what benefits you might see wearing LipSense® Long Lasting Lip Colors.

10. You’ll reduce the weight of your purse by 6.3oz when you switch to long lasting lip colors and throw away all your unused and unwanted lipsticks.

9. You’ll reduce chapped lips by 96.3% wearing long wearing lip color and moisturizing lip gloss.

8. You’ll be 187% more kissable when wearing beautiful long lasting lip colors.

7. You’ll get 109% more admiring comments wearing stunning long lasting lipstick lip colors.

6. You’ll spend less on clothes as you’ll easily change your look by designing your own flattering lasting lip colors.

5. You’ll look 1.4 inches taller as you become more confident because you’ll look great and stand taller using long lasting lip colors.

4. You’ll look better at the gym with lip color that doesn’t come off so you’ll go to the gym more often and get better results.

3. You’ll be 34% more likely to be served first at Starbucks wearing long lasting lip color.

2. You’ll save on average about 31 minutes and 20 seconds a week applying long lasting lip color once rather than the lipstick you had to reapply all day long.

And the #1 results from my completely unscientific survey:

1. You’ll look 7.2lbs lighter wearing our long lasting lip color.

Will you achieve all ten benefits and to the degree mentioned? I don’t know. You may even come up with several additional benefits my group didn’t mention or you may look 8.5lbs lighter rather than the groups 7.2lbs average. 

Then again you may get more than 109% additional admiring comments or turn the time you save reapplying lipstick into something productive, which could mean a raise or a promotion. Both good things for something so simple as switching to long lasting lip color.

Mood Changing Lasting Lipstick Lip Color

Have you ever noticed that changing your lip color can change your entire mood?

Want to instantly look sexier, bolder, more rested, more exciting, more glamorous or more organized; just change the color and texture of your lip color. Careful use of lip color can help define you or show the world who you are.

Lipstick lip color can be mixed and blended to achieve the color and look you want. It’s a quick and easy way to dial up you mood, and improve your self confidence.

You don’t have to be a trained make-up artist to wear and apply lip color properly. It’s a great place to experiment with colors. Combining lip colors and experimenting with them can help you find that right color that is designed just for you.

Finding the Perfect Lip Color

When wearing absolutely no make-up find a lipstick lip color that looks great on your face.

This enchanting color will make your skin, hair, and eyes look their best. It should be a lip toned color-somewhere in the range of brown-pink, nude, beige-pink, or rosy brown. You’ll know it’s the right color when you find it.

Once you discover your best color you can begin trying different combinations to achieve your own dazzling custom look. For example, recently my husband and I were invited to a semi-formal affair. He surprised me with a purple orchid corsage. Combined with a light purple blouse I added to the look by adding a plum lip color to the top of three layers of liquid lip color. The raves that evening just kept coming.

A liquid lip color such as LipSense is ideal to use in helping you find your own custom lip color. Or in the example above, I would rarely use a plum lip color as I have light skin, but as an accent it worked beautifully. LipSense is applied in three light coats (takes less than 30 seconds-I do not advise putting in on in a moving car). The top coat can be used to tone down a brighter color or to dial up an accent.

Another important beauty tip is the proper balance between eye and lip makeup. Get it right and it will give you a sophisticated modern look. If both features are made up they should not compete for attention. If you are emphasizing the eye makeup with a heavier smoky look go for a more neutral lip color.

Conversely, when making a statement with your lip color, for example, with a brighter red, it will work best with more neutral eye make-up. My web site has detailed information on picking the right lip colors. With my "no hassle" guarantee, you have nothing to lose. I invite you to try our great lasting lip color product.

With a little experimenting you can use lasting lip color to create a variety of exciting looks. Good hunting!
