Smashbox Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick, Black Plum 1 ea

I’ve always admired women who could pull off bold lipstick. Erin is one of them, she has these goddess lips that look great with just about any color of lipstick! My problem could be a lack of lips…. I swear they are just under-developed. I blame my mother. No upper lip. So for me – I stick to glosses, but if you’re like Erin GO BOLD! If you’ve got it, flaunt it!

I got a sample of this BEAUTIFUL plum lipstick from Smashbox (might have to hand it off to Erin for a real review) and I was instantly lip-envious. It’s such a gorgeous color! I wish I could pull it off!

Do you ever go bold with your lipstick? Which is your favorite shade?

Black Plum – Deep Berry

Legendary beauties are unforgettable for their daring, iconic style.

Get famously bold lips that stand out from the crowd with Be Legendary Lipstick. This ultra creamy formula is packed with vitamins C & E, shea butter and a unique moisture complex to provide instant and long-term moisturization while saturating lips with luxurious color. With its super comfortable wear and lustrous finish, you’ll be ready to rock your own iconic look.

Pair the lipstick with Smashbox’s Lip Liner!

Smashbox Smashbox The Nude Lip Liner, Medium 1 ea

Actually, I’m kind of cheating. I’m picking two different gift sets for my #9 spot. So sue me. They kind of go together – like peanut butter and jelly! Or maybe primer and eye shadow?? Okay, I’m not funny.

Anyway – I love these two kits – not only because I love the products, but because I love the packaging! I know it’s wrong to judge a book by a cover, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t like good packaging on makeup. C’mon, you agree with me.

Smashbox has released two awesome sets, Studio Pop for Lips, and Studio Pop for Eyes.  Each set comes in a cute little white tin – wrapped in a bold wrapper!

PS: We were NOT paid for this post, we were sent samples, and these opinions are 100% true and our own.

It’s lip balm season!! (Okay, that and hand cream season, if you ask me.) I’m alllllllllllways on the prowl for lip balms. I think I have one in every room of my house (including my car). I love me some lip balm, who doesn’t right?

SheaMoisture has released a new Limited Edition Lip Balm Trio – and included are three delicious balms! How about Raw Shea Butter Argan, Coconut & Hibiscus or Olive & Green tea? YES PLEASE! This balm goes on a bit thick, but I like it. It makes your lips feel really protected – and for hours.

SheaMoisture’s ultra-moisturizing lip care trio hydrates, heals and protects dry, fragile lips. Your lips instantly feel soft, smooth and supple as you indulge in the luxury of rich organic Shea Butter and natural botanicals!

Moisturize & Repair: Shea Butter

Rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, this super-food for the skin has been used for centuries to deeply moisturize and repair for extraordinary skin care and healing.

Nourish & Protect: Coconut Oil

A daily requirement for well-hydrated skin. Nourishes and helps firm skin with Vitamins E, K and fatty acids. Moisturized lips feel supple and kissably soft!

Heal & Renew: Olive Oil

Olive oil, rich in antioxidant Vitamin E and fatty acids, helps heal and renew dry, damaged lips. Restores lip’s natural moisture balance and smoothness.

This set would be perfect for Christmas! Pick yours up at Target, Walgreens or CVS. MSRP $9.99

IMAN Luxury Moisturizing Lipstick, Opal

There aren’t many times you can get away with gold lipstick, but Christmas has GOT to be the perfect time of year for this! Heck, any party would be great. I was sent a sample of IMAN’s beautiful Luxury Moisturizing Lipstick in Sheer Gold, and it is gorg!

I couldn’t find a picture of the gold lipstick, but you’re going to have to take my word for it! It’s so cute! I got a picture!! Check out how cute this lipstick is (below)

Anyhoo, this creamy, semi-matte lip color provides a long-lasting smooth finish for a 24-karat gilded pout sure to turn heads.

Love it (and it’s only $10! Score!)

Let’s face it, lip balms and stockings go together like peanut butter and jelly! Okay, well if you’re in MY family, they do! Since I was a wee lad (what’s female for lad?) my mom has been sticking flavored lip balms in my stockings. For – I won’t tell you how many years. Well, I’ve been continuing the tradition with my own kids. I have two boys, ages 12 and 10, and while I’m not sure they appreciate it as much as I did – I still get a kick out of it. I might be persuaded to share some lip balms with the ladies in my life this year instead of my growing boys. What, boys don’t want smooth lips?

Here are two new lip balms from Sun Bum! The deliciously flavored lip balms are sure to please anyone in your life – except maybe those tween boys of yours.

The latest from Sun Bum are the NEW! Flavored Lip Balms with SPF 30+ sunscreen with added Aloe and Vitamin E that will protect and moisturize your kisser all day long. Available in: Key Lime, Coconut, Pink Guava, Mango, Pomegranate and its existing flavor, Banana. $3.99.

Sun Bum believes quality, safety, and performance are the keys to getting more people to use sunscreen. Each ingredient and attribute is specifically chosen to provide friends with the most advanced broad spectrum protection available, while ensuring a smooth and invisible feel, just the way they like it.

Get them for yourself!
