From BeautyDebutante - Red Hot Lips for Red Hot Months with Boots No. 7 Lip Glace, Wild Volume Lipstick


TC NOTE: This is a great article!
Click Here to signup for fabulous Daily BeautyDebutante Newsletter.
There are a lot of “rules” for makeup.
Do not use mascara longer than for 3 months
Do not blow on your brushes
Do not match your eyeshadow color to your shirt
Red lips are for winter….
Oh hey…wait. Red lips don’t have to be for winter (and for that matter you can match your eyeshadow to your shirt if you want)! In fact, I recently came across a few lip products from Boots that are perfect for the Summer and Fall months.
Now don’t freak out because I’m suggesting you wear red lips if you never ever wear red lips. I’m just putting it out there that the nude lip is great, but sometimes a red lip will knock your socks off. Think of it. For years women wore mostly red lips all year long. Why has red now been relegated to cold months? Can’t we all have a little fun in the sun and have saucy red lips to boot? Yes we can!
Here are some tips for keeping red lips looking bright and fresh even in the warmer months.
Create a perfect canvas. Make sure your skin looks beautiful. You can use foundation, tinted moisturizer or powder, just try not to have a too heavy/mask like appearance. Red lips will only intensify the heaviness of your foundation.
Blush sparingly or lightly. When wearing red lips, no matter the season, your blush should not fight for attention with your red lips. That means create a soft natural flush with a baby pink blush or a nude blush or sheer matte bronzer. You just want the suggestion of color in your cheeks and you want people to focus on your lips.
Keep the eyes minimal. A sheer wash of shell pink, taupe, apricot, champagne or golden tan is all you need for your eyes. Want something a little more dramatic without looking like a model from a 1980’s Robert Palmer Video?
Try a thin line of black liquid liner (Or gel or cake liner) and add a little wing on the end – such as Boots No7 Liquid Eye Liner – Black. This Marilyn Monroe-esque look is not only classic it helps frame your eyes and give them a sultry look. Winged liner can be tricky. Practice makes perfect!

Lastly you want to finish your eye with either a thin coating of lengthening mascara
OK. So now that you have gotten the basics down here are 3 very different options from Boots that you can use to create a red lip that looks great for you.

image from www.us.boots.com
1. Boots No. 7 Wild Volume Lipstick in Forever Cherry. $9.99 This opaque long lasting lipstick promises to plum up your lips with Pea Extract and Senna Extract. I have no idea if it works because my lips are pretty full as it is…not bragging. just a fact…and honestly I think if you have really thin lips nothing will give you Angela Jolie like lips without the help of Plastic surgery. But back to the lipstick. This one is not for the faint of heart.

This almost electric cherry color lipstick smoothes on effortlessly and seems to fill in tiny lines in my lips…giving the appearance of my lips looking fuller.

Now as you can see this is a BRIGHT color so if you are a bit more timid with reds you can blot the lipstick after application and then apply a sheer gloss on top….for example like the one I’m going to feature next!

image from www.us.boots.com
2. Boots No7 Lip Glace – Cherry Kiss $7.49 The sheer shiny gloss is an amazing addition to satin or matte lipsticks. It will give your lips that extra shine and depth, thanks to the micro shimmers in the gloss. The gloss is not sticky and the shimmer isn’t gritty.

The clear and soft silicone tip allow for ease of application as well as keeping the product relatively clean. I love the long thin design of the tube and with the sturdy screw on cap and crimp-less tube design I don’t have to worry about it exploding in my purse or pocket.

The color I use is Cherry Kiss and it provides a very sheer layer of color. Of course you can wear this alone for a very sweet and demure hint of red lip, but I really prefer it over a lipstick. I apply a little dab in the center of my bottom lip and spread it out to create the look of a fuller lip and volume. With most non sticky glosses, this one fades after a few hours of wear, but it’s relatively easy to reapply…even without a mirror. However if you are looking for a gloss and go color then look no further than…

3. Boots Botanics Lip Gloss in Cherry. $7.99 This moisturizing shiny gloss has just enough pigment to wear alone for a sweet red lip. Packed with coconut extract to help moisturize your lips, this gloss wears well and never leaves that dreaded white ring or chapped lips in its wake. I like that it’s not sticky and lasts a decent amount of time before I have to reapply.

The soft doe foot applicator also makes application a snap. The cherry color is perfect for that just bitten look that so many people love to emulate (Thanks Twilight!) and it also is perfectly suitable for the warmer months. What’s best is that this gloss is an excellent introduction to red lips for those n00bs out there (That’s geek speak for newbies)!

It’s sheer enough to not overpower, but pigmented enough that people see a red lip. I think this is my favorite product of all three. I reach for this one time and time again.
So there you have it. Three ways to wear red lips in the heat and still be ravishing and you won’t break any rules!
Boots products can be purchased in the US at in person at Target Stores or online when you Shop drugstore.com’s Beauty and Fragrance Category!

From BeautyDebutante -- Skincare Review: Lily Organics Skincare

Skincare Review: Lily Organics Skincare
by Joey on August 23, 2010
Lily Morgan has made farming (she’s a seventh-generation farmer!) and eco-friendly skincare her life’s work. Lily Organics, Morgan’s skincare company, was started in 1986 and is the only skincare company in the country that grows its own ingredients on a USDA-certified organic farm and makes its products fresh evert week on an on-site, FDA-inspected laboratory. Impressive, no? The entire line aims to be as unobtrusive on the environment as possible while providing customers with potent products that work without adding synthetic, chemical ingredients.
After reading about Lily Morgan, her farm, and her skincare line, I was eager to try her products. Lily Organics skincare products are separated into three categories: Sensitive Skin Type/Unscented, Dry/Mature Skin Type, and Normal/Oily Skin Type. I received three products from the Normal/Oily Skin Type, plus one additional product:
Seaweed Balancing Facial Cleanser – Lily Organics describes this cleanser as one that tones, detoxifies, balances, and cleanses the skin. It contains water, seaweed, almond oil soap, essential oils (lavender, rosemary, sage, tea tree), vitamin E, lemon juice, and citrus seed extract. I thought this was a nice, basic cleanser. It didn’t really remove my eye makeup, but it didn’t dry out my skin. However, it wasn’t terribly moisturizing either. I preferred to use this during the day, as my morning face wash. I will note, though, that this cleanser has an incredibly strong scent – it smells exactly like Vicks Vapor Rub! This retails for $20.79 for the 3.4 fl.oz bottle, $7.39 for the 1 oz. bottle, and $4.39 for the 1/2 oz. trial sized bottle.

Seaweed Balancing Facial Toner – The toner is described as helping to nourish and tone the skin. I actually found the toner to be more moisturizing than the facial cleanser, which was interesting. It softened my skin wonderfully, and helped clear off excess oils and grime without drying out my skin. My face glowed after I used this! This toner contains purified water, aloe, witch hazel, lily flower, glycerin, essential oils (sage and lavender) and a huge assortment of certified organic plants and flowers, including elderberries and chamomile. This retails for $16.79 for the 3.4 fl.oz bottle, $7.39 for the 1 oz. bottle, and $4.39 for the 1/2 oz. trial sized bottle.
Oil-Free Skin Conditioning Serum – This product was very interesting, I thought. Lily Organics describes it as a serum that conditions and firms the skin while healing and moisturizing, with the added benefit of stimulating cell proliferation. However, it wasn’t very moisturizing. In fact, it felt almost dry on the skin. I attribute this to the aloe vera gel base. The product feels sticky when it’s pumped out onto the hand, and it is cooling on the skin. The serum is absorbed or dries quickly, leaving a dry, matte texture to the skin. There’s none of that plump, soft feeling you get from a normal moisturizer. It does, though, keep my skin from peeling – and it makes a great base for my makeup since it sinks in so quickly. I’m enjoying this more than I expected to. This retails for $31.19 for the 2 fl.oz. bottle.
Organic Moisture Mist – This was actually my favorite product! Similar to MAC’s Fix +, this is a facial spray designed to deliver moisture to the skin and refresh makeup. I love its small, portable size (I tried the 1 oz. bottle) and I love the glow it gives me even more! This might possible replace Fix + for me, which is impressive! This product contains purfied water, vegetable glycerin, and a large assortment of certified organic plants and flowers (like chamomile, calendula, etc.). This retails for $17.79 for the 3.4 fl.oz bottle, and $5.79 for the 1 oz. bottle.
I’m pleased with everything I tried, and I look forward to trying other products from Lily Organics. What are you interested in trying?

From BeautyDebutante - Motives 2010 Summer Trend Eyeshadow Palette: Social Butterfly
iMakeupMirror supports BeautyDebutante for our website - click here.

This is from BeautyDebutante signup for their daily newsletter - click here.
Hello again! It’s Ivy from Jeweled Thumb. I was recently sent a few items from Motives Cosmetics Summer 2010 Collection and today I’ll be reviewing the Social Butterfly Trend Kit. All of these eyeshadows are shades in Motives Cosmetics regular line of shades, which generally retail in individual compacts for $12 – but for summer, Motives Cosmetics is offering 3 different trend palettes containing 5 eyeshadows and a bottle of their Mine Eau de Parfum for $49.95.

image from Motives Cosmetics
I had never heard of the Motives Cosmetics line before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was very impressed with the quality of the eyeshadows.
Social Butterfly contains “earth-tones and glamorous gold with just enough sparkle” according to the Motives website and features the following shades: Bronze Beauty, Green Tea, Sunkissed, Hazelnut, Goddess. Personally, the only thing missing from this palette for me was a highlight shade (since I’m quite pale and cool-toned, I can’t get away with using any sort of golds on the brow bone).
The Social Butterfly palette contains 2 Pearlized (Bronze Beauty, Sunkissed), 2 Shimmer (Green Tea, Hazelnut) and 1 Glitter (Goddess) shade as described on the Motives Cosmetics website. I found most of the colors easy to work with especially Bronze Beauty (copper) and Sunkissed (peachy gold) which went on like butter and were super pigmented and metallic. Green Tea (goldish khaki) and Hazelnut (brown infused with gold shimmer) were not quite as soft but were easily built up and I’d say of medium pigment and slightly less metallic than the Pearlized shades. The only one I wasn’t a fan of was Goddess, aptly named as a glitter shade, was basically gold glitter in a very light gold base.
individual pans and empty palette
The palette also contains 2 double-ended sponge tip applicators and a wide mirror for travel (I personally used my own brushes for application). I like the Motives logo on the outside of the palette and a window to view the shades.

I tested the shadows out and they lasted through my 9+ hour work day and out in the Maryland humidity with a primer. Here’s a quick eye of the day that I did using Sunkissed and Hazelnut. The shadows blended easily and retained their pigment and metallic quality throughout the day.

All in all, I was quite impressed with the shades I tested, and would recommend the Motives palette for those with a warm complexion!
Motives Cosmetics eyeshadows are Gluten Free, Paraben Free, fragrance and oil free and are not tested on animals. The full range, including the Summer Trend Kits can be purchased at the Motives Cosmetics website.

Signup for BeautyDebutante's Daily Newsletter - click here.

Essie Berry Hard is a deep brown toned red which I didn’t think would look good with my skin tone, but it works. I also have no idea why I decided to wear this in the summer, it’s definitely more of a fall/winter color. You could get away with three coats, but I used four. I had no problems with the formula and can’t wait for fall to use it again!

Color Club Revvvolution makes me want to do crazy things when I have it on and the sun is shining. This was two coats with no top coat. Top coat tends to make holographic polish duller…and who wants that?

From BeautyDebutante - Skincare Review: Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

For more on iMakeupMirror - http://imakeupmirror.com
From the BeautyDebutante blog - signup at http://beautydebutante.com
A little while ago I was sent some Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil from Beautorium.com. to test. I decided to do a little research into this product before I put it on my face.
First of all Beautorium.com is a site where you can do one stop shopping for your entire natural and organic beauty needs. They have a ton of products to choose from and the site is mapped out very well. Each product comes with a wealth of information from ingredients to how to use to its organic certification and more. I like the upfront information and the ease of searching.
OK. Where does Rosehip oil come from? Well Rose Hips of course! You have probably hear of rose hip tea and rose hip enhanced vitamin c pills…well rose hips are the seed pod left after all the rose petals fall off the flower. The oil from rose hips, often called rosa mosqueta, is very nutritious. It is unique among vegetable oils in containing retinol (Vitamin A), and is also high in vitamin C. Rose hip seed oil is high in the essential fatty acids – linoleic acid or omega-6, and linolenic acid or omega-3. It is commonly used in skin care products.

Rose hip oil is used for a variety of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, sun burnt skin, wrinkles and used to heal scarring and diminish photo-aging. Since the rosehip oil contains Vitamin A it can help delay the effects of skin aging and assist with cell regeneration and promote collagen and elastin levels. Rosehip oil also contains a high amount of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which further promotes healthy skin.
The Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil I received is very gentle on the skin and it can be used undiluted (unlike some other essential oils) on the skin with little to no adverse reaction.. It can also be added to lotions, creams, and shampoos. This Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil easily absorbs into the skin and does not leave behind a greasy residue.
When I applied directly to the skin on my face, I used my fingertips to massage it in until it is completely absorbed. I did this twice a day for a month on my face but made sure to use sunscreen every day on top of the oil.
The results?
Well I certainly had softer skin, but I found that I experienced a few break outs while using the oil. That’s because I have VERY oily skin and I think this oil may have clogged my pores a bit, however, have very acne prone skin and I break out just typing the word ‘Acne’…whoops. There’s another pimple!…so I cannot say for sure it was the Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil that broke out my skin. I did not notice a significant decrease in old acne scars, but I did notice that my face seemed to glow a bit more. Perhaps it was the extra hydration for my skin…because even if you have oily skin, you can still have dehydrated oily skin. Ugh. Trust me. It can happen. The skin on my face felt more balanced be the end of the day and I didn’t feel like I was as much of an oily mess as I am used to being. Perhaps because my skin was getting essential fatty acids it didn’t feel the need to produce as much oil as it normally does.
What I really liked about Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil is that it comes in a small dark glass colored bottle. This helps keep light off the product which can cause the relatively short shelf life of rosehip oil to degrade even more. I also really like the little eye dropper that is in the cap. I can get a measured amount for each application and I don’t have to introduce any stray bacteria or other debris from my fingers and hands into the Trilogy bottle. This means I can extend the purity of the product and make sure that I don’t turn the oil rancid by the mere act of dispensing the product. It is recommended that most rosehip oil is kept refrigerated, but the documentation that came with this bottle didn’t mention that.
The Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil bottle holds 20 ml / .67 fl oz. that’s quite a lot when you only need a couple of drops for your face, so I started to add it to my regular lotion when I apply it at night and I started to massage some into my cuticles every night as well. Because I don’t want to run the risk of the oil turning rancid if I add it to a big bottle of lotion, I pump out some lotion into my hand and add a few drops of Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil to the product and mix it together for that one time usage. Basically I add it when I need it.
So far the results have been good. While I haven’t used it long enough to see marked improvement, I do like the fact that my skin feels softer and looks better overall. I also like the fact that I’m not adding any unnecessary chemicals or pesticides to my skin. Trilogy products contain 100% natural active ingredients. The rosehip oil is certified organic by Bio-Gro of New Zealand. This product contains no parabens, petrochemicals, PEGs, pesticides, synthetic colors or fragrances, GMOs , or harsh surfactants. Since the product is certified organic I can feel safe using it. If I ever do run out, and trust me a small bottle goes a long way, I’ll be sure to buy some more. This is a great addition to my daily beauty ritual.
You can purchase a 20ml bottle of Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil for $20 USD from beautorium.com

From BeautyDebutante - Sothys Sun Care Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion, Sun-Sensitive Areas Care

Sothys Sun Care Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion, Sun-Sensitive Areas Care
by Krystal on August 16, 2010
Howdy again from Krystal at PolishGalore! I had the privilege of reviewing a unique line of Sun Care products from Sothys. Despite living in South Texas where it’s 100 degrees for weeks in August, I am not a tanned individual. Sothys has several beauty lines available but the two I am reviewing are the Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion and the Sun-sensitive Areas Care High Protection SPF 30.
Sothys began as a beauty institute in Paris, that features products created by a medical biologist. Their main focus is on results, which is something I have always been concerned with in regards to skin sun care. This line is called Soins Soleil Cellu-guard, which Sothys explains is a mixture of purified calophyllum oil and fruit polyphenois. Its dual tissue protection protects collagen fibers and the elastin of the skin and limits the inflammatory process. It also offers triple protection to the cell membranes, DNA and preserves proteins.
Sothys “Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion” ($40 for 5.07 FL. oz) says to apply daily on face and body to gradually build a natural looking tan. I actually used my very pale legs for this review, only putting the lotion on one leg.

The lotion is a creamy yellow colored lotion that has a very pleasant smell to it. I couldn’t place my finger on the smell, but it almost reminded me of fresh corn tortillas. The lotion went on smoothly without any irritation or unevenness. The instructions say to wash your hands after application which I did, but a friend who wanted to also try the lotion, did not and she said her cuticles were stained in the following days. I used the lotion every other day for a week, and after just one application, I was surprised at how much darker my lotioned leg looked against my non-lotioned leg. It took overnight for the lotion to darken my skin into a soft bronze tan without any streaks or missed spots (another fear of mine). That was part of the reason why I went every other day – the lotion did a lot in just one day. By the end of the week, I felt that my 4 applications was enough for me to feel tanned enough for shorts. I’m curious to see how long term use of the product (months) would affect skin tones.
Next is the Sun-Sensitive Areas Care – High Protection SPF 30 ($40 for 1.69 FL. oz). This is a hypoallergenic and fragrance free lotion that states it will protect from photo-aging during intense sunlight exposure.
I decided to use this on the backs of my hands and forearms since those are the areas that receive the most sun and least protection for me. The lotion was quite thick and creamy and took a few minutes to rub into my skin. It wasn’t very greasy feeling, but did have some shimmer in it that left my hands and arms sparkly.
While this is a salon brand that is more expensive than drug store products of the same claims, I highly recommend it if you want great results: the Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion is worth the money. As for the Sun-Sensitive Areas Care – High Protection SPF 30, it was definitely the thickest sunscreen I’ve ever used, and since I’m only using it on the backs of my hands (and probably my face), the bottle may last the whole summer. I would like to take photo-aging pictures of my hands and face and be able to compare before spending so much on a sunscreen, but my first impression was that this is worth the money.
Order Sothys Soins De Soleil Progressive Sunny Glow Lotion online, or use their Find-A-Salon feature to locate a salon near you that carries Sothys.
