Sheer, matte, sheen, shine...

I’m absolutely, undeniably addicted to lip gloss.
This is not something new, mind you. I’ve spoken openly about my obsessions with gloss, plumpers and of course – mascara.

So much so, that when I stopped in at the beauty supply shop today – the girl working there who knows the addiction – was happy to point out to me that my newest lip plumper now comes in sheer shades. I personally, don’t care for colors; I’m a more “au naturel” kind of girl. I prefer a sheer matte or possibly a nude tint at most. So I passed on those….

But I loved the color she had on her lips, which was a sheer-ish nude. So she pointed me towards what is now, my newest obsession: “Kiss My Lips Pearl Shimmer”. Love it. Love it!

It’s got just the right amount of peppermint in it, a hint of vanilla….and it’s really inexpensive. Similar to the Burts Bees shimmer which I also have – I do believe I prefer this shade as it doesn’t have a frost to it, per se. (I’m not a “frosty” kind of girl with lip or nail shades. It works for some, not so much for me.)

By the way, if any of you girls out there are looking for a fabulous shampoo recommendation – try Onesta Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Citrusy, fresh, organic – and oh by the way – makes your hair amazing to work with. I have always been a Biolage girl; at least for the last 14 years or so. I will always hold a special place in my heart for that shampoo and I will still buy it. But I’m here to tell you, Onesta is amazing. I bought it because the samples I was given to try, brought me some of the best hair I’ve had in a long time. And I ran out of the sample – and my hair just hasn’t been the same since.

Final recommendation for the week, is this: to save your skin from the sun use the most fabulous sunless tanner ever. I’ve been using it for the past 5 years, and I will never use anything else. “Sun Ultra Dark” by Sun Laboratories. Even girls who tan at the tanning salon comment on how great it looks – I have no steaks, no orange – I just look sunkissed. Get yourself a bottle, some surgical gloves and a smile – because you will feel like you’ve spent days in the sun, without compromising your health – or aging of your skin.

And that my friends, is my fashionista tip for the week.
