Retail Therapy with Caroline Sheffield: Pucker Up
4th February 2012: With freezing temperatures terrorising us all of late, it’s easy to feel down in the dumps and in need of a pick me up. But where do we start?
As sickening as the 14th of February is, I would have to say, in order to ensure a top V-day, you just might want to focus on making your lips devilishly irresistible.
First things first, healthy happy lips… and here’s how,
No7’s Protect & Perfect Lip Care is first up, helping to moisturise and plump up your pout perfectly. With an added anti ageing formula, this product makes your lips look younger, healthier and fuller and comes in at a very affordable £9.
Think lip care is worth splashing out on? Then a visit to the Chanel counter should offer the all glamour you need.
Chanel’s Hydramax+ Active Nutrition Lip Care (£27) is an exquisitely soft lip balm working to soothe dry and damaged lips. At the heart of its formula is the exclusive active ingredient, Ceratonia PFA, (PFA: PolyFractioning of Active ingredients. A process specific to CHANEL that allows for the creation of ultra-pure cosmetic ingredients), which boosts the dynamics of skin hydration at the very heart of cells to maintain an optimal level of moisture.
At a rather more purse-friendly price, Clinique’s Superbalm Moisturising Gloss (£13.50) mean chapped lips are a thing of the past. This lip treat instantly relieves dryness, protects with antioxidants and much more. Not only is it a powerful lip balm, but it hosts a stunning array of colour twists to give your smile lashings of soothing shine.
Following on from Clinique’s efforts at combining practicality with the wow factor, Benefit are giving their full attention to their flattering silky finish lipsticks (£14.00). Offering a light wash of colour for an au natural look or more striking shades for a loud and proud finish, silky finish lipsticks are sheer, buildable and available in 11 collectable shades. This product is a personal favourite of mine, offering affordable, non-sticky shimmer; but would you expect anything other than perfection from this enchanting, feel-good brand?
Last but not least is match-made in heaven, Superdrug and MUA and their love affair of lip gloss! For those of you who haven’t heard of MUA before, it’s the bargain make-up brand available exclusively in Superdrug and a brand that works tirelessly to continuously bring you stunning new products. This month Superdrug is raving about their adorable variety of love heart themed, pastel shade lip balms. And the best bit? Not only are they only £2, but were created to celebrate the enduring appeal of love hearts, how romantic.
Aside from these products making you feel confident and sexy, your pout is guaranteed to make you irresistible to others too, so get smooching… it would be rude not to!
