Know your best feature and play it up!

What feature do people comment on most? Play it up.

 If you're told you have Angelina Jolie lips, make sure to wear gloss and play with bold lipstick colors.

 If it's your eye color people love, find eye shadow colors that complement them and make sure to wear mascara.

 Also, know what color shirts look best on you and go shopping.

Where Does Lipstick Go?

 Lipstick that doesn’t end up on your cup or your boyfriend’s  cheek (lol!), will end up in you (as crazy as that seems).

The average woman consumes about 6 pounds (eek) of lipstick over the course of her lifetime. Bizarre, but true.

However, there’s no need to worry, the ingredients in lipstick won’t harm you and are broken down by stomach acids.

Treat and maintain soft lips

Getting chapped lips from time to time? Well this is how I deal with that, works for me all the time.

Treating chapped lips:

• Toothbrush Exfoliation

This is a quick and easy exfoliation technique that you can do anywhere, daily or as necessary. To remove dead and dry skin as well as allow moisture to soak in, use a soft clean dry toothbrush to gently brush off any dead skin on your lips.

• Sugar Exfoliation

Using a homemade scrub consisting of equal part granulated sugar and olive oil can be rubbed on your lips in a circular motion to remove the dead skin and extra moisture.

 Maintaining soft lips:

• Protect your lips

Moisturize your lips all the time. Use an oil-based lubricant containing sunscreen. Reapply often while outdoors, in cold and dry weather.

• Avoid licking your lips

Saliva evaporates quickly, leaving lips drier than before you licked them. if you tend to lick your lips, avoid flavored lip balm – which may tempt you to lick your lips even more.

• Stay hydrated

Water is not only good for your health and your skin but also for your lips. Make sure to take plenty of water as well as other fluids.
