National Lipstick Day July 29,2022

July 29th is National Lipstick Day in the United States! 💄

Revlon has been making their super lustrous lipstick for what seems like a million years. These classic lipsticks are sold in several different finishes such as matte and pearl, but the crème formula is my favorite. It has a comfortable feel that doesn’t dry out the lips as some lipstick formulas can. There’s no overpowering scent either. With 87 different shades to choose from (yes, that’s correct, 87 shades!), there’s definitely a perfect shade for you! Pictured below are five of my favorite revlon lipstick shades and finishes.

While I love wearing lipstick, most days I leave the lipstick for special occasions, I can usually be found only wearing chapstick. I never leave home without a tube or two of chapstick in my pocket. While you’re at Target pick up a niveausa chapstick in the blue tube, it’s my favorite chapstick.

NYX is currently offering 20% off all lip products. Two of my favorite ones are the butter glosses in 15 Angel Food Cake and 36 Sorbet. Click HERE to take advantage of this 20% offer!

To celebrate National Lipstick Day Ulta Beauty has a buy one, get one 50% off of top brands such as TooFaced, Mac and Colourpop. Click HERE to take advantage of this week long sale.

Sephora doesn’t want to be left out they have 50% off select lip products for the lipstick holiday. They have brands like Armani, Yves Saint Laurent and lancomeofficial. I highly recommend the Yves Saint Laurent Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipsticks

Before you head to bed after a long day of wearing lipstick, slather your lips in the cult favorite Laneige lip sleeping mask. You’ll wake up with lips that feel fully plumped and moisturized. There are four different types to choose from, but the original strawberry flavor in the pink tub is my favorite. Click HERE if you are interested in purchasing the Laneige lip sleeping mask.

What about you? What is your favorite type of lipstick? Do you love to wear different shades and finishes of lipstick or do you prefer to keep it simple and wear chapstick? Do you wear a lip mask while you sleep?

Weekly Product Highlight

Chapstick

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Chapstick~

When it comes to lip balms, I am very particular! Sometimes it is the simplest and the most classic products that work the best for me.

No matter how many times I stray, I always come back to the original classic ChapStick. I don’t know what it is about this classic lip balm, but it works better than almost every chapstick that I have tried! It is nothing fancy, but it is effective.

Since there are so many varieties of ChapStick each has its own combo of ingredients, but most ChapSticks contain camphor, vitamin E, aloe, beeswax, menthol, petrolatum, phenol, and oxybenzone. While I love the cherry, strawberry and the spearmint, the classic black ChapStick is my favorite!

Each 0.15 oz tube costs around $1.

What does the Chapstick website have to say about the classic original chapstick?

“The one and only Classic! The one that made ChapStick America’s favorite lip balm and the one that our hearts still beat for. Try it in Original, Cherry, Strawberry and Spearmint.

Softens and protects for smooth, silky lips every day
Helps heal and prevent dry, chapped lips
The formula you know and love”

What about you? What is your favorite lip balm? Do you like the original ChapStick or another flavor better?

Lips 101 After Hours by Preventive Measures

December 31, 2016December 30, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

~Weekly Product Highlight~Lips 101 After Hours~

I love chapstick! Well…I should rephrase that, I love smooth, creamy, moisturizing chapstick. I hate stiff waxy sticky drying chapsticks.

This Preventive Measures Lips 101 After Hours by Preventive Measures is exactly what I want from a chapstick. It is what my chapstick dreams are made of: creamy, smooth, moisturizing, and sweet smelling!

I had never heard of thisPreventive Measures brand until I received this Lips 101 After Hours in my October ipsy glam bag. Since receiving this chapstick I have been using it constantly. I carry it in my pocket with me every where I go.

While the packaging is just your typical run of the mill nothing special white chapstick tube container, the product inside is anything but run of the mill. “The technology is a double-layered encapsulation of actives in powder form microspheres. The unique structure protects actives from premature release from oxygen and heat. Time, friction, or moisture will trigger release of the actives from the system.” I don’t know exactly how the time release feature works, but I know that it definitely does work!

The formula slides onto the lips easily without any pulling or tuggin leaving my lips feeling soft and moisturized! (I HATE it when chapstick application tugs and pulls and does more harm than good.) It smells sweet and fruity, similar to a pina colada or passionfruit flavor. It was love at first swipe.

It comes in two formulas. The After Hours version that I have, and an SPF 30 broad spectrum UVA/UVB lip balm in a citrus/tangerine scent. The SPF 30 version keeps the lips protected and hydrated throughout the day. Both formulas include the innovative time release moisture.

The SPF 30 Lip Balm is $15 USD for a 4 gm/ 0.15 oz tube. Lips 101 After Hours Lip Balm is $13 USD for a 4 gm/ 0.15 oz tube. You can save $7 USD by purchasing them together for $21. These balms are made in the USA by Chayya Products Inc.

Both lip balms can be purchase at www.preventivemeasures101.com and a portion of the proceeds are donated to skin cancer research, which as an oncology nurse is near and dear to my heart.

What does the Preventative Measures Website have to say about it?

“We created Lips 101 After Hours with the same extraordinary  technology and innovative ingredients without the SPF 30. We increased the moisture ingredients to maximize its benefits  to the lips. In Lips 101 after hours, we have formulated the product to intensify  the benefits to relieve cracked, wrinkled and dry lips. Increasing the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory delivery system  technology.

“Lips 101 has reinvented the ordinary lip balm with innovative technology and a SPF 30 protection. Made with shea butter, safflower oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E, chamomile and a medley of “super fruits” (pomegranate, red grape, grapefruit, apple) for anti-oxidant properties. Lips are protected and hydrated throughout the day and receive ultimate moisture throughout the night!”

I also really like the back story of this company and Anjani Singh:

“After 20 years of experience as a chemist in the skincare industry, Anjani Singh was inspired to create her own line of unisex skincare products. Concerned with the growing population of skin cancer she set out to create a unique, preventive SPF 30 by incorporating the technologies of a time-release moisturizer….launching Preventive Measures 101 as her own private label, dedicated to make a valuable difference in the lives of both men and women.”

I really love this product, the moisture technology, brand, and awareness behind it!

Fun In the Summer Sun

June 30, 2016July 1, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood3 Comments

I LOVE summer!

Summer is by far my favorite season of the year! The best part about the summer is all the beautiful sunny days, the worst part about summer is sunburn!

Unfortunately for me, most sunscreens usually make my skin break out. It is a catch 22, do I chose to get breakouts or sunburn. Since I have fair skin and work as an oncology nurse, I usually opt to suffer through the breakout while saving my skin from the sun. Thankfully there are all different kinds of makeup that can make you look good while also keeping you safe and healthy while you are in the sun. Fortunately with these products I don’t have to choose between the two. It is so nice to not have to look like a greasey mess with breakouts while protecting myself from the sun’s rays.

Here are a few that I recommend:

ChapStick Ultra, Moisturizing Lip Balm, SPF 30- Trust me from personal experience, you want to prevent your lips from getting sun burned! This lip balm has SPF 30. Reapply often and be glad that you have spared yourself the pain of burnt lips.

Lorac Breakthrough Performance Lipstick- If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time you already know that I am a HUGE fan of Lorac Cosmetics. Here is another awesome reason to love them. This lipstick is not only moisturizing, long wearing, paraben-free, and has Vitamin E and olive fruit oil for anti aging, but it also has SPF of 15. It comes in 5 beautiful shades and right now is on sale for only $10 on the Lorac site.

bareMinerals Pure Brightening Serum Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20 This paraben free foundation was the winner of the Allure magazine Best of Beauty. It comes in 20 different shades and is available at Sephora, Ulta and Nordstrom for around $18.

IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better CC Cream with SPF 50+ “Why did IT Cosmetics create this product: To finally give women an all-in-one multi-tasking beauty miracle that truly gives full, flawless, perfect coverage, protects your skin with SPF 50+ from the harmful rays of the sun and is clinically proven to improve skin texture and hydration. IT Cosmetics worked with plastic surgeons to develop a multi-tasking correcting cream that is true scientific breakthrough. It’s packed with anti-aging ingredients that is clinically proven to improve skin and works on all ages, that doesn’t crease or crack!” Available at Ulta and Itcomsmetics.com for $38.00.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact Makeup with SPF 55. SPF 55 is no joke! Overall I really like the Neutrogena brand. They have a lot of great products to offer. This compact provides buildable coverage without it feeling greasy and heavy. It blends easily, is oil free and dermatologist tested. You can find it at Target, Walmart and most drug stores or at Ulta for around $14.

Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm

February 20, 2016February 20, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

Weekly Product Highlight~ Yes to Grapefruit Naturally Smooth Lip Balm~

GRAPEFRUIT NATURALLY SMOOTH LIP BALM

Because I am always on the lookout for my next favorite chapstick/lip balm I keep buying more and more.

I purchased this one not only just because I love chapstick/lip balm, but also because I love grapefruit. While I love to buy new chapstick/lip balms, I am actually very picky about my lip products.

I love this Yes to Grapefruit Lip Balm!

I think that this one is very quickly becoming my favorite of all lip balms! It leaves my lips very smooth and it has a nice scent. I love that the balm is actually shaped like your lips.

For me, lip balm is a daily way of life, not just once a day but many times throughout the day and especially at bedtime.

One thing I don’t like about some chapsticks/lip balms is they are just too heavy and waxy. This one is pure enjoyment. It is light, fresh, smooth, and shiny. I can’t always find it in stores where I live, and then I get nervous that it has been diacontinued, but then I will find it again and of course I buy it to always have back up! (Do you do that too?!)

What does the Yes to Website have to say about it…

“Smooth lip balm on your lips. Notice how the shape matches the curve of your lips. Repeat as needed. Why were lip balms ever round, anyways?

The Formula: A mix of moisturizing Aloe, Cocoa, and Shea Butter deliver intense hydration and moisturization (talk about a triple threat!)
The Flavor: A delicious grapefruit treat to wake you and your gorgeous lips up.
The Packaging: Consumers preferred this sleek, oval shape, because it fits easily everywhere, and applies nicely around lips.

Yes to…an awesome new lip balm with a refreshing flavor that fits just about anywhere!

99% NaturalPetroleum
SLS,
Paraben Free
Cruelty-free”
