Some tips on lip care.

How many times have you just grabbed whatever lipstick out of your bag when you’re in a hurry to get ready for something? And then had to reapply that lipstick like 4 times during the day? More than you’d like to admit I’m sure./p>

Good care package, especially the lip care product.

Got a care package from my sister (she of the durian perfume) in New Jersey (soon to be of Connecticut). Loved the swag we got: 4 books, lip care kit (not for me, silly, the wife!), Bath & Body Works hand wash, and (this is way cool) erotic magnetic poetry.

I barely have enough time to apply my cosmetics, let alone make my own cosmetics.

I thought that this was an interesting site. Learn how to Make Your Own Cosmetics. Learn how to make handmade soap, body balms, oils, and creams, facial & lip care, hand, foot, & hair care, and more. The directions seem to be easy to understand and the site also has its own ingredient encylopedia so you can learn what the ingredients are.

Trying to make your lips look luscious? The lip care you use may depend on the decade you live in:

The lips of classic sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe have always been lush, bow shaped and a deep seductive red. Modern day sex symbols like Jennifer Lopez may tone down the lush and the deep red, but they add on shimmer and shine. According to those who measure beauty, ideal lips have a certain size and shape. In profile, the lips should have a gentle S-shaped curve with a four-millimetre depression between the lips and chin. Vertical lines imaginably drawn down from the inner corners of the eyes delineate the overall size of the lips. The upper lip should be no more than 75 per cent the size of the lower one. This ensures that there is an overall pout to the lips — no matter how plump or full they are. Before you rush to the mirror with a measuring tape, remember that there have been various ideals of lips down the ages. At the turn of the 19th century, the ideal lip was a small rosebud mouth, which became the thin cynical slash of lipstick in the 1920s. By the 1950s and ’60s, full blown bow lips, red and glossy, became every woman’s trademark after they were immortalised by Monroe. Over the next couple of decades, lips went from shimmery to natural, and now are poised between being pink, glossy and pouty and natural, nude and wide.
