Neptune Eye Shadow

I like Too Faced products and I am quite fond of one of their eye shadows. It is called Neptune and it goes great with a grayish eye shadow I have from Elizabeth Taylor. What I like about the Too Faced eye shadow is that it stays intact for about ten hours – which is great taking into account that I have a mixed oily complexion.

With its ultra light and fresh texture and its Chrono Energy Complex to stimulate cellular metabolism, it leaves skin radiant and softened and it prepare it for the a good foundation.

A good mascara is a must , so you should give it a go to Phenomen` Eyes Effet Extension Lengthening Mascara. With its Stretch Extension Wax, it coats and visibly extends each lash, while infused almond oil softens and nourishes. It has a small spherical brush that promises to pick up all the lashes.

Last but not least, the lipstick. Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick, with its nourishing and long lasting formula, it really does smooth your lips and offers comfort. Sexy, light reflective color. Available in a great color palette.

Top Ten Best Lip Balms You’ll Love

When it comes to lip balms I cannot refuse testing for a new one. I love lip balms and the effect they have on my lips: smooth and moisturized lips after one apply. Because summer is almost gone and colder days will come, I have come up with a 10 best lip balms top to help you prevent having chopped lips this fall/winter.

Shea Butter Lip Balm – L’Occitane is rapidly absorbed by skin and is recommended for dry lips. People with sensitive skin can give it a try because mostly likely this balm will not cause them any harm.

Aquasource Moisturizing Balm Protective Lip Care – Biotherm is perfect for those women who want to have a piece of a spa in their purse. This lip balm with a shiny effect is made of spa water and also protects lips from UV rays. Biotherm lip balm is a must have product in your vacation travel kit.

One of the most famous lip balms on this planet is Superbalm Lip Treatment – Clinique. I believe that it is almost impossible to talk with a ‘balmaholic’ that hasn’t tested this product by now. This balm is super efficient for very dry and discolored lips. I think it does very good to rebuild aggressed skin and prevent lips from chapping.

It is no news that lips are affected by aging and anti-wrinkle products become a necessity if you love excessive sun exposure or if you are +35 years old. Collagenist Lip Zoom with Pro-Xfill - Replumping Lip Balm – Helena Rubinstein deeply hydrates and plumps lips for a youthful look. It is very easy to apply it even though you don’t have a mirror in front of you.

Anna Sui’s Lip Balm gives a subtle shine to your lips and nourishes them in the same time. Use it before you go to bed if you want to have moisturized lips in the morning.

Age Defying Lip Balm – Darphin is a creamy, soft scented balm suitable for all ages. Used for a couple of weeks, it diminishes fine wrinkles.

Conditioning Lip Balm – Origins is a stick balm made of a combination of natural ingredients like cocoa butter, turmeric, jojoba, sunflower, and sesame seed oil. It is suitable for kids and adults, too.

Yes to Carrots Mint Lip Balm is made exclusively from natural ingredients. It contains no parabens, petroleum or phthalate. It smells delicious and gives a tingling sensation when you apply it.

Eucerin Accute Lip Balm is one of the Europeans’ favorite when it comes to lip balms. It provides intensive moisture to dry lips and it perfect for using it on cold winter days. It has no smell which is a good thing for those that cannot stand scented lip products.

Aroma Solutions Nourishing Lip Balm – Decleor smells delicious. The combination of vanilla, cinnamon, macadamia, and tonka bean makes me want to eat it. It has UV protection and repairs lips in a short period of time.
