Giorgio Armani Lip Wax - a Blush of Color for Lips in a Compact.

Giorgio Armani invents a modern vision of lip color. This is Lip Wax compact lipstick - a new blush of color for lips. Like a second-skin garment, the weightless texture dresses lips in a comfortable and extremely fine film of color with a sophisticated satin patina finish.

The incredibly smooth and silky texture of Lip Wax glides over lips leaving rich, tailor-made color.  The ultra-fine and soft Micro-fil™ veil ensures a smooth and seemingly weightless result. Lip Wax introduces freer and more inventive ways of bringing color to lips. The simple gesture of dabbing on color with the fingertips gives a soft blush and patina satin effect.


Lip Wax ($26) is designed in six signature Giorgio Armani shades, from nude-beige to a rich wine color.  These shades can be applied alone or played within endless combinations to personalize your lips and follow your mood.

n°1 Nude beige – a shade lighter than the natural lip color
n°2 Antique rose – a discreet lip highlight
n°3 Sienna – brings warmth to the lips
n°4 Raspberry – a colorful pink purple
n°5 Cardinal red – a bright, transparent red
n°6 Deep Chianti – a rich color for strong marked lips

The full Lip Wax collection will be available beginning in October at fine department stores, but are available online at giorgioarmanibeauty.com already.

MAC Prep + Prime Microfine Lip Refinisher.

I love lip exfoliating products, and in the Summer when the lips are exposed to the heat, sun and wind, it is almost a must for me. I am such a fan of Tarte's fRxtion with it's duo sided tube and wonderful taste, so I was thrilled to have discovered this one from MAC. This is from the MAC Summer Future Earth Collection, and it is their Prep + Prime Microfine Lip Refinisher.

On one side, there is a natural exfoliator that is made up from botanically derived ingredients, while the other side of the stick is a superb lip conditioner, with the yummy MAC Vanilla flavor, that helps to moisturize, nourish and soothe lips.

As with anything else, it is very important to wear a sunscreen on your lips when spending a lot of time outdoors, especially when using an exfoliating product. I wish that the lip conditioner side contained one, but it does not, so be sure to use one - okay?

Prep + Prime is $14.50 at MAC.
