Before you go bare... on Valentine's Day

Monday is officially Valentine's Day!! And before you go bare.... you must try..

Wait, I'm talking about bare lips here!! Before you smooch off your red or pink lipsticks, you must- MUST- condition your lips! For the past several weeks, I have been using Softlips Beeswax Conditioner (completely all-natural) and gave my friend to test the Replenish lip protectant/sunscreen which is an anti-aging lip care product.

The Beeswax Conditioner has a moisturizing formula packed with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil. It glides on smoothly every time, like it sort of melts on your lips with a cool mint flavor. I love that it's free of parabens and only contains oils and beeswax to get literally- soft lips- for Valentine's Day! Great to use as a base before applying any lip color.

One of Softlip's new products is their Replenish lip protectant with sunscreen. Same packaging as their tints, the Replenish is formulated with antioxidants such as Acai Berry Oil, Cranberry Seed Oil, and Vitamins A, C & E. The oils gives this lip protectant a pleasant fruity scent. My friend have tried other Softlips products before but definitely found this to be her favorite. She noticed some of her fine lines on her lips to be less noticeable. Score!

Looking for gorgeous red and pink lipsticks to wear? Try one of these:
- Valentine's Day Makeup with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics

- Pink lips on Valentine's Day.. Egon Schiele's Hush Lipstick

- Want Perfect Lips? Try COVERGIRL's Lip Perfection line

Softlips PURE 100% Natural line

Looking for soft, luscious lips this summer? Get it naturally with Softlips! Best known for their lip care products in skinny tubes, Softlips have come out with their PURE 100% Natural line- including flavored lip balms, lip tinted balms, lip tinted glosses, a lip butter and a lip polish! With their variety of products and flavors, there is something that you can definitely use to get your best summer lips yet!

With every beauty routine, you need to start off with a clean slate. Use their Lip Polish ($6 USD), to slough off dead skin cells, made with organic coconut flakes (smells yummy!) and sugar to get your lips super soft. I haven't tried a lip scrub before but I think this is necessary to keep them healthy looking and keeping your lipsticks look smooth without any flakiness. Tip: Use once a week for smooth lips! To win all these products mentioned, enter the Celebrate Summer giveaway until June 20, 2010!

To get sun protection naturally, you have to try their tinted lip glosses or lip tints balms($4-5 USD). They come in three colours- Coral Charm, Natural Honesty, and Shell Pink. So depending if you like gloss for shine or tints for the balm-effect, they will both give you the sun protection you need from Iron Oxides, great natural colour to show off your sexy, natural pout, and the non-stickiness goo they many other companies' glosses feel.

The gloss and tints do not contain any synthetic ingredients that are harmful to your health,( so no parabens or artificial colours!), because it's literally 100% Natural. The natural moisturizers made my lips felt moisturized with the perfect shine for the summer!

If you're looking for more Sun Protection for your lips, check out the SPF20 lip balms. (These are contained in the original skinny tubes.) They come in several great flavors such as Cherry, Vanilla, Strawberry, Raspberry with Green Tea extract, new Mint and new Wildberry.

The Softlips PURE lip conditioners are probably the most popular since they have great flavors with the new formula of their original lip conditioners. I have fallen in love with these (carry them in all my purses/bags and even keep one by my nightstand!) These lip conditioners contain organic oils, beeswax, shea butter and vitamin E that are USDA-certified organic so I know even if I lick my lips, it's ok!

If you're looking for a lightly flavored lip balm to moisturize, try their Softlips Lip Conditioners- in new flavors such as Peppermint, Acai Berry, Papaya and Chai Tea! One of the first ones I opened up (which is why it is missing) is the Pomegranate flavor! Smells light and fruity!

To win all these products mentioned, enter the Celebrate Summer giveaway until June 20, 2010!
