- Avon Glazewear Clear Lipgloss SPF15 (perfect for when the suns out)

Lip Balm

For me there is only one make of lip balm that I will probably ever use again and it is Nivea. Nivea lip balms make my lips so soft and clear up any dry patches in the same day of using them, there amazing :) I use the Soothe and Protect and Pearly Shine depending on whether I want any colour on my lips.

Pearly Shine

Soothe and Protect

As you can see the Pearly shine gives you a nice pink glisten to your lips and Soothe and Protect gives you that 'just licked your lips' look. Both of these are really good quality and last me a long time even though I use them everyday and apply them about 10 - 20 times. They don't last on my lips for a very long time but I don't really mind that because they leave my lips feeling moisturized and soft which is all I really want from a lip balm. I have found that the Pearly Shine is more hydrating than than Soothe and Protect but both are really good. I tend to use these during the day rather than a lipgloss or lipstick but they both work as a good base especially the Soothe and Protect which also has SPF 12 which makes it good to use during the summer months :)

Red Lips

I was thinking about what to do for a blog post and then I spotted this red lipstick that I have by Max Factor. It is in the colour Rose Wood, its more of a dark red rather than a bright red so its more wearable, although I have to say that im not quite brave enough to wear it out somewhere!

Applied by itself, as you can see it doesn't give a really scary colour that you wouldn't want to wear somewhere. It actually gives a more natural colour to the lips.

Applied with a clear gloss over the top to give it more of a shine. I have to say that I prefer it with the gloss as it makes them stand out a bit more.

This is a nice colour to have on your lips which could be worn day to day if you wanted to have a redder lip. The duration that the colour stays is a good few hours so you wouldn't have to worry about reapplying every hour. Im not sure how much this was at it was a gift but I don't think that its very expensive so that everybody can afford one (or two?). You can get this from places such as Boots and Superdrug :)
