SPF Yourself: Borghese Lip Treatment Moisturizer SPF 15.

SPF Yourself is a series of posts featuring products that contain a sunscreen, or SPF, in them. Not only sunscreens, but body lotions, facial moisturizers, eye creams, foundations, tinted moisturizers, bronzers, hair care and more will be featured. Only the best in beauty with SPF!

What’s sleek, chic, and filled with sheer, moisturizing color? I’m talking about Borghese Lip Treatment Moisturizer SPF 15 ($20), beauties. Although this lovely little lip treatment smells exactly like my mother’s deep berry lipstick when I was a little girl, this is definitely not my mother’s lipstick.

Described as “vitamins for your lips”, this lip treatment is disguised as a typical lipstick but offers so much more. The sleek black tube houses a moisturizing treatment core that is surrounded by gorgeous sheer color. Even better, this lip treatment has SPF 15. Remember: even lips need sun protection! 

The shade I have been using is 04 Flamingo Gold. On me, it’s almost the perfect shimmer version of “my lips but better”. I love nearly everything about it! My only minor complaint is the scent. While I love the nostalgic factor, I think it could use an update. That said, let me rave about all goodness that Borghese packed into this little black tube!

First, I love the moisturizing balm core. I’m a bit of a lip balm addict, but I like color, too. This gives me the best of both worlds. In fact, if Borghese marketed the balm core itself, I’d be tempted to give it a whirl! Also, I love that this lip treatment applies smooth and evenly every time. I don’t need to whip out my compact mirror every time I apply in fear of streaky color. I can’t wait to try the other shades.

Beautiful Color and Beautiful Lips with COVERGIRL LipPerfection.

Have you ever thought about how your lipcolor makes you feel? Like the cherry on top of the sundae, lipstick is the final finishing touch to the look. More often than not, I match my lipstick to my mood or the mood I want to evoke, rather than the whole look. When I need to make a statement, I wear a red lipstick. Red makes me feel more alive, powerful, a bit sexy. A pretty pastel pink makes me feel pretty, in a subtle way. Rocking a deep berry color makes me feel a bit hard, almost edgy.

Equally important as to how my lipstick makes me feel, is how the lipstick makes my lips feel. I know what lipstick brands work and which don't work for me. Have you ever started to wear a new brand of lipstick only to find your lips all dried out after a few applications? It is so disappointing.

I need a brand that offers the best of both worlds. I need the beautiful colors to suit my many moods, and I need my lips to stay in perfect condition. The brand I trust is COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor to make this happen.

With 44 shades to choose from and it's formula that actually improves the lips condition in just 7 days, this is a lipstick you need to know about and give a try if you have not yet.

COVERGIRL LipPerfection is a source of therapy to actually improve lip condition with its exclusive Silk Therapy Moisturizing Complex. This complex provides both smooth gorgeous color and sustained levels of moisture to actually improve lip condition in a week.

Take a look at the ingredients which work in combination to help improve lip condition:

Emollient - Olive oil derived to provide active moisturization.
White Tea - Leveraged from Olay, this is a very popular and proven anti-aging ingredient.
Butters Complex - A combination of shea, avocado and aloe provides for an overall extraordinary lip experience.
Silk Protein - This is derived from pure silk to help soften lips.

As I mentioned LipPerfection is available in 44 lip transforming shades. Designed by the one and only makeup artist extraordinaire, Pat McGrath who is also the COVERGIRL Global Creative Design Director, they are stunning. The coordinated colors are grouped into four shade families.
