A Million Kisses Lip Tint - Lush

Tips & Tricks for Kissable Lips

Ok, so Valentine’s Day has come and gone.

But, just in case you plan to share your love for the other 364 days of the year, you might want to make sure your lips are in top notch shape.

Here are a few tips from Pretty City on how to keep your lips “kissable.”

Treat
“You apply moisturizer for your face daily, you dab cream delicately under your eyes religiously, but the skin on and around your lips goes totally unattended. The first step on the road to oh-so-pretty puckers is to start treating lips daily with a product designed to soften vertical lip lines and prevent premature aging.”

My Survival Kit: Inside My Makeup Bag

The majority of the women I know tote around handbags: hobos, satchels and the like

Within these bags we transport everything from papers to cell phones, and sometimes even food. However, one thing remains constant in any woman’s purse. That one thing would be her makeup bag.

What I carry inside my makeup bag has changed over the years but the strategy behind what I put in it is still the same.

I view my makeup bag as a sort of survival kit.

After Bobbi Brown Makeover

Makeover Magic with Yasmine & Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

It’s been years since I received a makeover. So when I had the chance to have a professional Bobbi Brown makeup artist transformer my face during Nordstrom’s Fall 2011 Cosmetics Trend Show I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

Veteran makeup artist Yasmine started my makeover experience by cleansing my skin. She then applied a hydrating lotion & brightening moisture cream.

After cleansing & hydrating Yasmine used a concealer & corrector to even out my skin tone. That step was followed by the application of Bobbi Brown’s stick foundation, which I love!! It matched my complexion perfectly!

Have you ever been at a department store beauty counter and had your face sculpted into a thing of beauty by a makeup artist.

Hello, my name is Adrienne and I’m a lip color-a-holic!

It’s true; in recent months I have become obsessed with all things colored lip; bright hues and nude tones alike. So, it should be no surprise that while walking through the mall I stopped at M-A-C and picked up this earth tone shade, ClingPeach.
