Lip Love – Balm

by thelifestylelady February 1, 2016

Howdy Y’all,

How was your weekend? Mine started with a BBQ, yes you read that right, a BBQ in January. For those of you who caught Friday’s post the dip I linked was fabulous. I was going to a larger party and doubled the recipe but on reflection I probably didn’t need to do so. I would imagine the recipe would comfortably feed six if it is part of a selection of appetizers. I spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and celebrating a friend at her baby shower. Little L has been a little under the weather and so a quiet Sunday was what the Dr ordered. It was during the shower that inspiration for today’s post came up. We were talking about winter and how the constant change of temperature plays havoc with ones skin and hair. One of the ladies mentioned that she was struggling with her lips. Lips is an area where I feel I have comfortably found a formula that works for me and I wanted to share some of my thoughts and findings with you.

I must preface this, the most important thing which tends to effect my lips, skin and hair throughout the year is drinking enough water. It is a recurring ambition of mine to drink more water, although I am doing much better I am a mother of a toddler and when the chance comes it is a gulp of luke warm coffee or another type of mummy juice “wine!” Which has its  appeal. That being said I do find when I am hydrated everything is better. There are so many lip balm’s to buy, but I display my favorites that I find really work. What are your favourites? What do I need to try?

My Holy Grail Lip Balms

My lip balm loves
Fresh's Sugar are all so sweet

Bobbi Brown Lip Balm
Dior Color Perfecting Balm
Bite Agave Mask

Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment Tulip & Rose.  Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment. 

 

If you have been reading the blog a while you will be aware of my love of the brand Fresh and their Lip products do not disappoint, (you will see I have three listed.) The white one (middle in the picture) is the Advanced Therapy treatment, this is the most nourishing and is one I tend to wear at night or when my lips are in desperate need of hydration. The other two are tinted, Rose (lowest in the picture) is lightly tinted and I wear if I’m about the house. This color would suit many skin types. Tulip (the top in the picture ) is great, it has a much darker tint and is more like a lipstick but has that lovely nourishing texture which stays with you for hours. This is one of my favourite things to wear everyday. I always make sure I have a backup ready to go. There is a great selection of colors to choose from dependent on your taste and preference. It contains SPF 15 which is another bonus. Give these a try you would not be disappointed.

Clarins Instant Lip Balm Perfecter

To me Clarins produce some of the best lip products money can buy. I am such a huge fan of their Instant Light Lip Perfecters but that will be another post. This lip balm is nourishing with a light pink tint and a slightly glossy finish which adds a beautiful shine to the lip. This is another product which would not disappoint and a selection of colors available to buy.

Bobbi Brown Lip Balm

I had read many a good thing about this item from other beauty bloggers, when I saw it near the till in Sephora I had to try it. (I love that area near the tills in Sephora so many goodies to try!) In true Bobbie Brown style this does not disappoint, it is the closest to a conventional lip balm I have. This gets plenty of use, I tend to apply before I go in the shower and underneath other lip products if I am wearing a day of fuller makeup. It’s soothing and nourishing and not greasy so works well as a base/primer for my lips all day.

Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm

This product intrigued me when it first came out, in fact I thought it was going to help me on my quest to find the perfect lip color. It claims to work with your lip chemistry to create the perfect shade. It certainly does change color after application and for me it stays a beautiful pink shade. It has SPF 10 which is great. I have found myself drawn to this more in the summer months because I feel the finish is pretty and light but don’t be mistaken my lips always feel nourished and comfortable after wearing.

Bite Agave Lip Mask

This for me is less of a balm and more of a treatment, that is why it’s called a mask. A mask is what it is. It is very thick and you feel as if you are applying a lackquer to your lips. I only wear this at night and tend to use twice a week and I do find I wake up with my lips feeling nourished. One does have to be careful that your hair doesn’t get caught in the mask.

A lip color chart – the things I do.

Hope you have found this inspiring and that we can all run our lips together and they feel soft and smooth.

Ta Ta for now

I don’t really share much of my lovely girl but today a costume can speak a 1000 words. She was practically perfect as Mary Poppins. #marypoppins #internationalparade
Sending you love and joy for this holiday season. Merry Merry Christmas & may 2023 be full of good health, abundant blessings and brighter times. 🤶 🎄
Good Morning, please don’t let her words and the other female warriors who came before her be in vain. Don’t just remember her and others by watching the documentaries and passing platitudes, respect them in action. Women died, starved and were tortured so we could have a seat at the table. Some women are still fighting for the right! Let’s honor them today whichever side you fall. Vote!! #vote #vote2020 #suffragette #womensuffrage #election2020
#itsnationaldaughterday Best thing I have ever done, teaches me everyday. Is the world ready for this smart, kind, funny force of nature? She is ready to make her mark and I am her biggest supporter. #love #familylife #daughters #thelifestylelady
Gertie says “where is my drink? I rang the 🛎 ages ago” I think it’s a dogs life. She is taking advantage of the cooler weather after a weekend of storms and before the rain hits again this afternoon. #thelifestylelady #gertiethegoldendoodle #dogslife #takealoadoff #relax #relaxing
Today on the blog I get personal and share the dilemma which too many of us are facing and which is keeping me up at night, what to do when there is no clear direction? As mothers we are meant to have the answers, our children look to us for strength and guidance, what to do when we don’t? Please pop over to www.thelifestylelady.com and have a read and let me know what your planning to do. I know that we are all in this together. Keep safe K x #thelifestylelady #covid19school #school #momlife #schooldilemma #covidschooling
This sums it up. Keep going friends. 2020 has challenged every single one of us in ways we could never comprehend, for some we can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. Events are demonstrating the best and worst of mankind, if like me your having to make tough decisions about school and what to do, you are not alone. I feel stuck between a brick and a hard place. What I intend to do is what I know, get up, keep going and throw on a bright lip! Keep smiling friends x #thelifestylelady #2020sucks #school
Yesterday we celebrated 10 years of marriage, no mean feat by today’s statistics. It was not the celebration or in the place where we had planned, but if Covid has taught me anything it’s that we are not in charge and can not control everything . It is not the bells and whistles that make the most sacred of memories. I am not one for big declarations of affection (sorry y’all,) I share simply this, I got lucky, I married a man I looked up too and respect. He doesn’t need to tell you what a good egg he is because he demonstrates it in his everyday unassuming way. He is a gentleman in all ways. Our decade has not been all plain sailing, we have moved more than some people vote, we have laughed more than we have cried and there has been reason for both. We had our beautiful daughter and although the path was not as easy or as we imagined we are a family. Life rarely goes the way you plan, case in point currently, but it’s a hell of a lot easier with a partner who is always you greatest ambassador and champion. Love like life is a journey and I am glad to do it with you. Happy Anniversary Mr L! #thelifestylelady #marriage #love #anniversary
With a summer where travel is looking impossible, you feel a little homesick, but Granny to the rescue is sending pics of her beloved garden. One of my favorite things about summer in Britain is the beautiful gardens and my mummy’s is no exception. She has always been green fingered, she will say she is not, but here are some highlights and everything has yet to bloom. Can you sympathize with my yearning for home? #grannysgarden #greenfingers #gardenofengland #gardening #home #thelifestylelady
