Introducing my Scrub, Hydrate, Colour and Pout system:
I usually prep my lips from the night before so that I know my lips have soaked up enough moisture and are hydrated enough to apply my lipstick seamlessly the next morning.
I start by scrubbing my lips with my favourite Lush Santa's Lip Scrub that you can only get during Christmas so I stock up on this every year!
I love the Lush lip scrubs but this is my favourite by far; it's cola flavoured and I find the sugar crystals in this one are a lot more finer than the others.
I scrub my lips in a gentle circular motion which helps to lift any chapped bits leaving my lips smooth and soft.
Then I move on to moisturise my lips; and for that I almost always turn to this amazing lip treatment by Lanolips.
The Lanolips Lemonaid Lipaid with Lemon Oil, is a rich and creamy consistency and the lemon oil in it helps to continue to exfoliate the lips naturally leaving lips soft and moist.
I apply a generous amount of the Lanolips lip treatment on my lips before I go to bed; and when I wake up in the morning my lips are hydrated and moisturised. Once I have cleansed and moisturised my face and ready to apply my makeup I apply a very little amount of the Lanolips treatment again just so my lips stay moisturised until I am ready to apply my lipstick.
Once my face makeup is applied I remove any residue of the lip treatment by dabbing a tissue on my lips and then my lips are ready for some colour.
My current favourite lipstick to wear is the Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in 1995. It's a gorgeous dusky pink/brown; aptly named as it is the ultimate colour to reflect the 90's lip trend that is making its way back. I pair this up with Rimmel's Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses lip pencil 011 (Spice) for long lasting, precision application.
And voila...The Perfect Pout is complete.
You can use any products that you like to do this, these are just my favourites and work well for me and it doesn't have to be done the way I do it; I just find prepping the lips the night before saves me a lot of time in the morning.
