Beauty Bites: Getting Plump Lips

 
Comments Off on Beauty Bites: Getting Plump Lips

Hello Makeup Geeks and welcome to BEAUTY BITES! This is a new series full of quick tips to help you get out the door and on your way. Each video will focus on a different product that will help you on days you are in a rush but still want to look your best. 🙂

Today we will be looking at how to achieve that perfect pout everyone desires.  As we age our lips tend to thin and for some of us, we were born with thinner lips, but no matter how you got them hopefully these tips and tricks will have your lips looking luscious in not time.

White Liner

I know this may seem odd, but by lining the Cupid’s Bow with a white liner and blending it slightly, it will emphasize the upper lip giving it a fuller appearance. Some of my favorites are:

  • NYX Slim Eye Pencil in White – (Amazon) (eBay)
  • NARS Santa Monica Blvd. – (Amazon) (eBay)
  • Rimmel London in Pure White – (Amazon) (eBay)

The BEST thing you can do to get the appearance of fuller lips is to wear a light color lipstick and a light lip gloss. Lip gloss will instantly make your lips look bigger because it reflects the light and bounces it off.  Some of my favorite lip glosses are:

  • Maybelline Color Sensational  #290 Flash of Pink –  (Amazon) (eBay)
  • NYX Mega Shine –  (Amazon) (eBay) Continue reading →

Sunday Tittle Tattle: Brain Fry

Comments Off on Sunday Tittle Tattle: Brain Fry

mr bear the british shorthair

I have total brain fry this weekend. I think that trying to find five brilliant bargains for under a fiver (see yesterday’s post) must have exhausted me! But in all seriousness, despite being able to write in reasonably coherent sentences, my grey matter has gone on complete strike. I’ve just spent over an hour writing about it being the start of winter (!) and before that I got frustrated because I couldn’t find any hotels in a country called Hungaria.

Oh dear. I’m taking the rest of the day off. I might try a bit of meditation – the equivalent of a spring clean for the brain, surely? Any recommendations for good iPhone apps? I have tried the Headspace one but didn’t ever get into it properly and I am ridiculously picky about the voices of the people leading the meditation! Not as picky as I am when it comes to audiobooks, but almost…

Interesting fact: when I Googled brain fry, the first result that came up was a recipe. For curried brain. It had a picture with it. The whole experience (possibly because I had been thinking of the human brain when I Googled) made me retch. Turns out the recipe called for mutton brain, not human, but still.
