M.A.C.’s Lip Glass product descriptions read like Lip Gloss meets Sex in the City. With colors named “Explicit” “Oh Baby”, “Entice”, “Nymphette” and “Full on Lust”, you might as well be sitting on the set in New York, listening to Sarah Jessica Parker and the girls comparing sexploits.

There are a few shades like Pink Lemonade, Pink Poodle, and Chai for the less seasoned and adventurous, but the “Lust, “Underage”, “Spite” and “Oyster Girl” entourage somewhat outweigh the “Pop Mode” flavors.

Bonne Belle created the first lip smackers, lip salve with flavor. With reports questioning the healthful effects of lip gloss, they have done a very smart thing. They have posted the ingredients of Lip Smackers. It is very interesting to note the natural quality of the ingredients: 

Castor oil - A natural oil obtained from the seeds of Ricinus Communis to add emolliency and gloss.

Beeswax - A natural purified wax from the honeycomb of the bee, Apis Mellifera to give structure and rigidity.

Cetyl Acetate - Gives emollience and gloss to the lips and acts as a conditioner.

Lip gloss, lip smackers, lip glass, are all ways of describing the ultimate sexy sheen that slides across the lips of millions of women. Since 1973 Bonne Bell has been exciting lips to enthrall not just the original outdoorsy health conscious mouth but the young, fresh, and eager feminine market as well.

To be different, Bonne Bell named after the owner’s daughter, created flavors beginning with strawberry. Well, that took the market by storm. Lip gloss was seen as an innocent, young and disarming manner in which to enhance your mouth, without seeming too daring. And why not make it taste good?

Why would a person wear lip-gloss? A person may ask - is there an answer?

Is it so you have a buffed glossy look?  Or so your best friend can comb her hair without a mirror, these are mysteries yet to be solved. Maybe its so flies stick to your lips in the summer, therefore you don’t swallow them. Personally I wear it on dates where I’m not really attracted, that way if he tries to kiss me he just slides off! I have heard they are coming up with a new glo in the dark lipgloss, so at night you will always be on target when attempting a liplock in the dark.
 
Joking aside lipgloss makes your lips look more luscious, more kissable with a softer sexier look, In summer it’s nice to forgo lipstick and wear lipgloss instead, it looks great with a light summer tan, gives a fresher more youthful look, and doesn’t melt of your face in the summer heat. So try some lip gloss and open up to a new shinier you.
 

Yves Rocher offers a full line of natural, botanical makeup. The cosmetics genius began his lifelong ambition to provide women with natural beauty care as a child.  “His vision was to put plant-based recipes to work to create beauty products, which he would make affordable for women everywhere. In 1956, in the attic of his family’s home in LaGacilly, a small village in rural France, Yves Rocher created his first cream from a plant named Celandine. His pioneering spirit continued, as he became one of the first in Europe to ban cosmetic testing on animals.”

Katie Holmes has the most gorgeous glowing look, it’s no wonder we all love her. She starts with an exfoliating scrub and applies as much moisturizer as is needed, depending on all the conditions involved. She gets her glow by blending her foundation with a moistened sponge and does NOT set it with powder.  

She uses a beige eye shadow across her eyelids all the way into the crease and blends to avoid lines. She tops it off with a creamy white shadoe under the arch of her brows. She draws a thin line with dark brown eyeliner on her lower lash line and gently blends it.  Line the lower rim of your lash line with a dark brown eyeliner and lightly blend. When she wants added drama, she adds a few single false lashes to her upper lash line. Then she coats all her eyelashes with dark brown mascara. 

Dineh Mohajer and Jeanne Chavez are Bath and Bodyworks beauty experts that transform their celebrity clients with Goldie makeup products. When asked for their favorite beauty tips, here’s what they say:

“When it comes to lips, think big! Our customers wanted more ways to plump, so we have taken our beloved Goldie Lip Plump formula and added color. One to try: Lip Plump in Fiddle (a rose pink).

Wear shimmer all the time - day or night. It instantly makes you appear younger and more rested. To make it even easier for you to apply shimmer, Goldie is introducing Shimmer Powder Puffs. Each small, plastic jar contains loose shimmer powder that can be applied with the powder puff that is attached to the lid.

Voluptuous lips are in. A few years back there a rumor that Angelina Jolie had surgery to enhance her plump full lips. The arrival of her daughter, Shiloh, squelched that gossip. Shiloh has them too. Their lips are natural; unfortunately, most of us have to work a little more. Here are some tips to help you fashion your own enchanting lips:

Exfoliate your kisser. Once a week cover your lips with some Vaseline. Let it soak in for five minutes. Wet your toothbrush with warm water and lightly brush your lips. They will tingle. Smooth on lipstick and THEN apply lip liner. It will bring out the fullness of your lips.

Michelle Pfeiffer is a classic elegant beauty with ivory skin and sparkling eyes. The look she presented in the Hollywood film,  In Style, pretty much reveals her natural essence. In the film she is seen ”embracing her romantic bohemian style.”

She is the kind of womans that whether on-stage or off, radiates a “soft, earthy appeal” that translates into the way she does her hair and and applies her makeup. Brigitte Reiss-Andersen is the professional makeup artist that assisted Ms. Pfeiffer before the shooting of In Style. It was not too difficult for her to enhance the actresses natural beauty. The artist used shimmering graphite-colored eye shadow and liner to accentuate her hypnotic eyes. Her lips were given an inviting sheen with  pearlescent lipgloss. “Honestly, she doesn’t need anything!” said Reiss-Andersen. Pfeiffer has the kind of graceful beauty in her face that makes looking at her easy to do and easy to see often.
