Beautiful Makeup Search Top Ten Lipsticks, Lip Glosses and Lip Balms of 2008.

/


I don't think my lips are never without a lipstick, lip gloss or lip balm on them. Here are my favorites, with my favorite shades listed.

  1. Lancome Juicy Tubes - I have so many in my collection, but the ones I always seem to use are: Creamsicle, Touched by Light and Pure.
  2. MAC Lipglass - My favorite lipgloss, for sure. I do have so many of these, but again, I turn to a few faves on a regular basis: Sugarrimmed (actually a Dazzleglass), C-Thru, Prrr, and Oh Baby.
  3. Bobbi Brown Glitter Lip Gloss - I love to layer Pink Quartz over most brown or berry shades.
  4. ChapStick True Shimmer - A new version of the old stand-by, True Shimmer adds a touch of sparkle to the lips while keeping them smooth. My favorite is Tropical.
  5. Clinique Long Last Glosswear - Always on my lips in the Summer, my favorite shades of this super long lasting gloss are: Guavagold, Kissyfit, and Goldspun.
  6. CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain - When I need an all-day lip, this one gets me through. My favorite shades are Flirty Nude and Sassy Mauve.
  7. MAC Lipstick - So many to love, but I do have a few favorites: Frenzy, Quiet Please, Hug Me, Fast Thrill, Angel and Overjoyed. 
  8. NARS Lip Gloss - This is a new one for me this year, but I have quickly become a lover of the shades in Orgasm and Sweet Dreams.
  9. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick - This is applied at bedtime every night and I have to say that my lips have not been more moisturized and smooth in, well, forever.
  10. Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color - Another lipstick favorite, my go to shades: Bronzed Pink, Nude Pink, Baby and Pink Buff.

New MAC Collection: Dame Edna.

/

How adorable is the packaging and the products themselves? These perky pastels with a pop are perfectly suited for Dame Edna or any fun lovin' gal. MAC always collaborates with the greats and believe it or not, I am excited about this one and thrilled that they chose Dame Edna for a collection.

“Hello possums!” Dame Edna Everage is in the house!

With her zesty zingers, cutting-edge appearance – lilac hair (which is completely natural), rhinestone-encrusted face furniture, fanciful frocks – frankly; there’s nothing like a Dame!

Dame Edna is the resident muse for our spectacular post-holiday makeup collection, and modestly describes herself as “probably the most popular and gifted woman in the world today: housewife, investigative journalist, social anthropologist, talk-show host, swami, children’s book illustrator, spin doctor, megastar, and Icon.”

With packaging as mirthful and minx-like as The Legend herself, the Dame Collection of heavy-on-the-lilac Lipstick/Lipglass, eye shadow, Highlight powder and nail lacquers is in a class by itself! “Follow my beauty regime possums, and you’ll never be cosmetically challenged.” – Dame Edna

25% OFF on Bobbi Brown Holiday.

What did before my eye appear? No, not Santa and his eight reindeer, but a cute elf named Bobbi Brown.

As I was searching her website to find which shade of Creamy Concealer (after reading her Makeup Manual, I decide this was a must-have for me to try) to purchase, I noticed an offer of 25% off all of the Bobbi Brown Holiday Collection. Yes - a great Holiday treat, indeed.

All of the products on this page on her site are 25% off until 1/3/09. Looks like I will be ordering her Holiday Lip & Eye Palette after all.

Thanks Bobbi!
