Link Love: Interesting Lip Items Found on the Web

I came across a few links this week that interested me:

When to Save, When to Splurge on Makeup, noted that lip products are one place where saving is a good idea. I agree! While I love some pretty expensive products, it is also very easy to find good lip products at an affordable price.

Kiss and Makeup has a review of Clinique Superbalm, which I also posted about this week.

I liked this recommendation for Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm for post illness chapped lips at the blog Sack of Monkey’s in my Pocket. If it works in one application, sign me up!

Finally, I was intrigued by this post: Make Your Own Apple Lip Balm.

M.A.C In3D

The M.A.C In 3D Collection provides a nice bunch of limited edition lipglass shades. There are a number of gorgeous pinks and light reds, plus a couple of nice browns. There is also a nice bright red, and a gold that goes on lovely over any lipstick. If you haven’t tried gold or silver gloss over lipstick, do so! The effect is usally quite nice!

Right now, algorithm is my favorite darker shade. It is not as purple or as light as it appears on the M.A.C site. In3d and Wondershine are my favorite pink shades.

The shades have a decent amount of shimmer, without going overboard. They also have a funky opalescent look in the bottle. If you have a chance, run to a M.A.C store or counter and check them out before they are gone!

Sugar Freshen Up, Breath Freshening Lip Gloss

Sugar, a company who makes some fun products, has Sugar Freshen Up Gloss Breath Freshening Lip Gloss.

Can a lip gloss freshen your breath? Well, it is a bit hard unless you eat it, which despite the fact that I consumed a few Bonne Belle lip smackers as a kid, is something I don’t particularly recommended. But it can still impart a covering “breath mint” scent!

Sugar also offers the Sugar Freshen Up Trio Breath Freshening Lip Glosses in the flavors of Mmmmmm: Peppermint, Wintergreen, and Cinnamon. Each has its own tint color.
