How To Get Smooth Lips For Fall & Winter

Hey everyone! Our lips need some extra attention in the colder months due to the drop in temperature. Having dry, chapped and cracked lips is not a pleasant sight which can also be quite painful. I want to share my routine that has been working to avoid having dry and peeling lips.

First, I like to go in with a lip scrub. I have been using the Lip Scrub from LUSH for years and have repurchased it numerous times. My favourite scent is the one in Bubblegum. I recently discovered the Velour Lip Scrub from Jeffree Star Cosmetics in Pumpkin Spice Latte (which is perfect for fall,) and it has 5 more grams of product than the LUSH Lip Scrub. I dip my toothbrush in the lip scrub to get enough product on the bristles and I then scrub my lips with it. This will exfoliate your lips and get all of the dead skin off. 

Next, I go in with a damp washcloth with warm water and run it over my lips to get any of the residue off. This brings us to our last step which is to moisturize your lips with your favourite lip balm. My current favourite is the Lip Therapy by Vaseline in the shade Rosy Lips. You can use whichever one that you have on hand but the Vaseline Lip Therapy is what has been working best for me currently. 

You will want to exfoliate your lips especially if you go in with a dark matte lipstick or a liquid lipstick (as pictured above,) to ensure that you have an even application of the product. 

Of course, you can make your own lip scrub at home if you choose to do so. There are tons of tutorials and step-by-step instructions on the internet that you can find with a quick Google search. 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Morphe Haul + A Mascara

Hey everyone! I recently went on the Morphe web site because I was finally convinced that I wanted to buy the highly talked about 350 Palette. There are a great range of colours which includes some gorgeous warm shades. As you can tell by the swatches, each shadow is highly pigmented. The only thing that I noticed when s watching the matte shades is that I had to pick up more product to get that opacity that I wanted. I do wish the palette was smaller in size because it is not ideal to travel with. Other than that, I am glad that I did pick-up this palette.

I finger swatched the last three shades on the right in the palette in the photo below. 

I had never ordered from the Morphe web site before and I didn’t know that you could purchase other brands! After browsing the web site, I came across Jeffree Star’s Lip Scrubs and knew I had to buy one once I seen that it came in Pumpkin Spice Latte. It smells incredible and will be perfect for getting soft lips in fall! The packaging is gorgeous and you get 30 grams of product which is 1 oz. It is 5 grams more than the lip scrubs at Lush which only contain 25 grams. They are both sugar based lip scrubs. 

There is a great range of brushes on the web site to choose from and I knew right away that I wanted a smaller brush for contouring. I bought the E46 Mini Angled Buffer Brush which is soft and the perfect size! I haven’t tried it on my face yet but it seems promising! The second brush that I purchased happens to be one of Jaclyn Hill’s favourites which is the M433 Pro Firm Blending Fluff. It is fluffy and rounded - just what I had wanted! A girl can never have enough blending brushes!

I did order the Morphe Concealer in Beige. I originally wanted a lighter shade but they were sold out so I settled on buying a slightly darker shade. I must say that I am not impressed with the formula. I don’t know if I got a bad batch, but you can tell from the photo that mine is clumpy, chunky and not appealing whatsoever. It is a thicker concealer and does blend out well. I can make this colour work but there is a lot of pink/peach undertones to it. It was only $5 USD and I am almost out of my other concealer so I needed something to replace it.

Separate from my Morphe order, I went to Wal-Mart a few days ago and wanted to share with you this mascara that I came across. It is from the Flower Line created by Drew Barrymore. I couldn’t find any information online if they are discontinuing the line or not because at Wal-Mart, the entire line was on clearance and there was barely anything left. I was tempted to purchase an eyeshadow quad but I had to refrain from doing so because I just bought the Morphe 350 palette. I digress, anyway, I got the Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara that has three different brush heads. 

It claims to lengthen, curl and add thickness to your lashes. Each brush head does something different and if you use all three brush heads on your lashes, then you will receive all three benefits. You just twist the black part on the handle to get the specific brush head you want, coat your lashes generously and you are left with beautiful customizable lashes! I purchased mine in the shade Intense Black and I only paid $4.50 for this mascara.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
