in my criteria a lip gloss has to have that original minty flavor that most of us are familiar of, must not make lips too glossy and too heavy. it has to have that right sheer or shine. i have found that in that tiny stick which i accidentally picked up in a grocery in Anchorage. it’s called burt’s bees lipstick. the thing that sealed the deal is the variety of color.
i was so pleasantly surprised to have found a lipgloss that has that minty taste and just the right amount of weight on your lips. it makes it shiny but with the right amount of shimmer and the colors are just wonderful. as a flight attendand it is very handy and reliable too. the dryness of the air inflight simply ruins my skin and my lips too. i am so thankful that i have discovered this wonderful product. i just apply my original lipstick for full blast color and use my burt’s bees lipstick for retouch. viola! ready for my close-up smile!
you know how sometimes you are just hanging out at the grocery store killing time and just checking out the stuff one by one? that was how i chanced upon this amazing BLISTEX medicated lip ointment for chapped lips, severely dry lips or even the persistent cold sore buster. it comes in menthol flavor and has a pleasant tingling feeling that would soothe your sore lips. i have been using this for 10 years now and never found anything better.
one winter my alluring flatmate’s dorky husband had the worst cold sore ever. i offered him my Blistex medicted lip ointment and he never looked back.
i usually apply it when i go for my crew rest on the plane during winter.
yesterday i had this painful crack on the right hand side of my lip. of course just like the origins spot remover i have this lip ointment in my work handbag, in my home port and my flat. i applied it once yesterday
evening…today the soreness is gone that is why i decided to write about it.
try this next winter…it might be your next bestfriend.
here are some of my beauty secrets……sssshhhhh not everybody know this.
when it is that time of the month a tiny bump normally appear on my t-zone area either before or after. i have a magic weapon for that. even before that darn thing comes out as soon as i feel the painful bump and notice the reddish swelling coming out, i reach out for my reliable ORIGINS Spot Remover. i have tried Lancome Spot Corrector and Balea stick on from Germany and i swear that this thing works like magic. it stings a litte but it is very effective. whenever i see someone who has pimples i offer it immediately or recommend it to them.
i keep one in my make up kit, one in my home port and one in my second home where i am based in. my mom loves it too. my best friend bought it and stuck with it. you have to at least try it before you say that it doesn’t work. i apply it to the pimple a couple of times a day. the pimple magically disappears even before it comes out. if it is fully out however i still apply it to the affected area. the pimple dries up much faster. the best thing is it is only $11.00! how can you go wrong? try it today!
