Three Custom Color Specialists Ballet Russe Lipstick

November 7, 2008 By Carleenp 1 Comment

From the Three Custom color Specialists Czarina Collection, comes a nice sheer red lipstick. If you are tired of all those heavy opaque reds out there, check this one out, because the sheerness of it makes this item quite nice.

Below is a swatch. As you can see, the shade is sheer and gives off a rosy tone. If you want deeper red, simply apply another coat. But personally, I love using a sheer red just as it was intended—with one sheer coat. The effect is a pretty rose red glow instead of a stark bright red lip.

The Three Custom Color Specialists’ lipstick is also moisturizing, so it is quite comfortable to wear. The lipstick also won one of Allure Magazine’s 2008 best of beauty awards. Check out the collection online at the link above.

This one is on my must buy pink products list!

ChapStick is donating $125,000 this year to the Susan G. Komen For a Cure Foundation with proceeds from its ChapStick Susan G. Komen for the Cure Pink Packs. Here is the lowdown:

Made from the same ingredients found in ChapStick Moisturizer, the ChapStick Susan G. Komen for the Cure Pink Pack includes three tubes of lip balm that:

Is designed to keep lips looking and feeling soft and healthy with a blend of 10 protective moisturizers

Includes Aloe and Vitamin E

Features SPF 15 to protect lips from the sun’s harmful rays

ChapStick Pink Pack is available at food, drug and mass merchandise stores throughout the U.S. during the month of October.

Look for it at around $3.99. Personally, I can’t resist a pink lip balm tube with SPF 15!

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick

September 4, 2008 By Carleenp 3 Comments

I love Moisturizing lipstick, and Maybelline has one of the best that there is. Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick has a great creamy texture and it feels more like a balm than a lipstick.

Moisture Extreme contains jojoba oil as a conditioner and carries an SPF 15 rating. I lasts for a decent amount of time and you can pair it with a Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lip Liner Pencil for even longer wear.

You can find Maybelline Moisture Extreme in a plethora of shades at just about any drugstore or big box retailer.
