easy seXXXy smooth lips

 

 

Are your lips often chapped, dry, and look cracky when you apply lipstick? Do you often forgo an amazing red lip because you believe you can't pull it off? Girl let me help you.

 

what you need

Skinny Girl Lip Scrub

or any lip scrub

or make your own lipscrub

 

what you need to do

Wash your face, making sure to get your lips hot, wet, and steamy.

 

Dry off your lips, and apply your lip scrub. I usually just apply and rub the exfoliant with my finger, rather than treating it like a chapstick. Scrub your lips for 1-2 minutes. When you're done, wipe off all product with a warm paper towel. Apply a moisurtizing balm to your lips - I like eos or Carmex. Wah-la! You are ready for sexy lipstick.

 

Best to start with a lip liner, and then follow up with classic hollywood red lipstick. They make every girl look like a million bucks, so there's no reason you shouldn't do it!

have fun.   :)

Moree on Skinny Girl...

Skinny Girl lip scrub was released in 2011, back when Real Housewife Bethany Frankel still owned Skinny Girl. When the brand was under Frankel, Skinny Girl had just a few beverages and all types of interesting makeup products, like body shimmer, facial masks, and lip scrub. Now the line is focusing more on cocktails and adult beverages. I hope they keep the beauty stash around - I really like the body shimmer too!

Brush Week: Quick and Easy Everyday Makeup

Perfect makeup when you don't feel like makeup

I wouldn't be honest during BRUSH WEEK if I said you always need to use a brush. This look requires NO brush, and it makes you look like you took way longer to get ready than you actually did. So put the brushes away, and learn this gorgeous but subtle look. 

I realize that when you think of subtle, you probably don't think Lady Gaga. But hear me out - Gaga wore a makeup look two years ago (while on her Monster Ball tour) that I copy every time I sleep in a little too late. I should totally do a video tutorial of this... I promise I will when I get a camera. 

get the look.

part one: eyes and lips
The overall concept of this look is heavy top lip liner and a bold/bright lip color. No need to go crazy with blush or bronzer. Any eyeliner works (gel, liquid, pencil.) Just make the line thicker than you normally do. Don't do a cat eye -  it looks really weird in my opinion.  For the lip, make sure you a color that is a bit bolder than light pink. Think barbie pink, coral, or red lipstick. A  tinted balm is even better; Maybelline Whisper is a good option because it looks like a lipstick but feels like a moisturizer. Perfect for those rushed mornings. :)

part two: face
The other part to this look is a good foundation or BB cream. You can apply your foundation/ BB cream with a blending sponge to make the look even more flawless - thus making it look even less like you're in a hurry. The best part - it takes half the time a brush would. (We're in a time crunch, remember?)  Here's the expensive beauty blender that everyone's talking about, and here's the $4 one of Walgreens that works just as good. To use a beauty blender properly, start by running it under warm water, and then squeeze all the excess out. Use the beauty blender to pat and smooth your foundation onto your face - it's amazing. Try this look next time you're in a rush - I want to know if you like it!

As always, post pictures if you try.
