Perfect lips don’t just happen, alright? Sure, you may have some plump DSLs (ask your male friends what that term means…), but you still gotta moisturize them to keep them from getting chapped and scaly, plus you have to add enough color to really play them up (’cause if you’re not flaunting what you’ve got, then you don’t deserve to have it, okay?!). Sure, Flavor Flav may hate lipstick and lipgloss (remember his rant on Flavor of Love‘s Season 3), but since I doubt you’re trying to kiss that buffoon, I suggest you stock up on some magnetizing lip hues.
And, if you’re committed to eco-friendly, all-natural products, then you can’t go wrong with Bare Escentuals’ bareMinerals’ 100% Natural Lipcolor Palette, which features eight dazzling, moisturizing lip colors made using exotic oils, natural waxes and botanical extracts (no artificial dyes, preservatives, or other chemical ingredients). Some of the ingredients used include: sesame seed oil, jojoba seed oil, coconut oil, carmine, rice bran wax, violet, gardenia flower extract and lavender oil.
The sleek black case holds eight deep, earthy-with-a-hint-of-berry shades: there’s Truffle, a matte, terracotta-like color; Strawberry Daiquiri, a luscious, mauve-tinged rouge; Gingersnap, a brown-ish shade; Bellini, a lighter, shimmering, peachy hue; Pink Champagne, a sparkly, wintry rose color; Ripe Fig, a serious, robust brown hue; Plum Brulée, the perfect mix of purple and pink tones; and Red Delicious, a no-nonsense, carmine red. The shades are pretty similar, but they’re universally flattering and ideal for everyday use since they look extremely natural when applied on your lips.
Best of all, they’re designed to be mixed and matched so you can custom design your very own signature hue: whether it’s the Figellini (Fig and Bellini), the Pink Champagne Truffle, or some other genius concoction.
