Best Lip Gloss - Our Top 5 Picks

It is challenging to find the best lip gloss. Most of the gloss on the market is too sticky or wears off instantly. Or, the color is great but it dries out your lips. The best lip glosses shouldn’t be sticky or dehydrating. You know you have found a good gloss when it doesn’t take much but moisturizes and keeps your mouth sensuous for hours. We put lip gloss to the test and found our top 5 picks for giving you the most irresistibly sexy smile.

#5 Friends with Benefits Lip Gloss

Our pick for number five was easy. Benefit The Gloss is great for daily use and won’t dehydrate your lips. It isn’t sticky, and comes in three delicious colors. Corsage will make your lips pop, Chaperone creates a lightly blushing effect, and Rave Reviews is ideal for a darker, more sophisticated kiss.

#4 Live dangerously with Urban Decay Lip Gloss

Urban Decay Ultraglide Lip Gloss is our fourth choice. For years they have been creating the best lip glosses, in the proudest colors. Urban Decay is infamous for creating edgy hues that are unmatched by other brands. The gloss is thin and isn’t too sticky. It is perfect if you like just a flavor of shimmer on your lips. It comes in Gash, Hustle, Heat, Quiver and O.

#3 Lip Smackin’ MAC

Few brands can compete with MAC in any of the products they develop. The quality of their products are well acknowledged by estheticians and beauty experts. After evaluating MAC’s various products, we determined our choice to be MAC Plushglass. It is incredibly long lasting, and it moisturizes better than most chapsticks and lip balms. This gloss makes your lips super shiny, and comes in several sassy colors. Oversexed, Pretty Plush, Bountiful and Fulfilled were our favourites.

#2 You give me Fever

Lancome La Laque Fever Lip Gloss was our second pick for best lip gloss. This is an excellent brand, and could have easily come in first. It feels clean and light, and is high gloss. Most importantly, this is the longest lasting lip gloss out of all we tested. It comes in Cyber Coral, Iridescent, Optical Rose and Feverish and it only takes a dab for long lasting color and shine.

#1 Plump red lips ripe for kissing

Fusion Beauty Lip Fusion Plumping Lip Gloss is undoubtedly our number one choice. Not only does it last for hours, it moisturizes and actually helps plump up your lips by increasing the amount of natural collagen in your lips. Within minutes after application your lips will be fuller and softer, giving you an irresistible pout. It comes in Goddess, Fresh, Boca Babe, Dream and classic Berry and is our choice for best lip gloss.

How to Apply Lip Gloss

For a mesmerizing mouth, begin by making a thin, soft outline just beyond the natural line of your lip. If you desire to use lipstick as a base, apply two small dots on your upper lip and three on your bottom lip and spread by lightly tapping your lips with your finger. If you want a more natural looking color, simply omit the lipstick. Next, put two small dabs of gloss on your upper lip, and one slightly larger dab on your bottom lip. Again, pat lightly to spread, or simply purse your lips. Choose wisely when determining the best lip glosses for you, and you can proudly pucker your seductive, sassy mouth to kiss dry, dull lips goodbye.

Laser Hair Removal

This is the first guest post I am displaying on my blog. I hope to have more of these in the future. This post will be outlining how laser hair removable works and what results you can expect. I am not affiliated with any of the links or prices provided.

How does laser hair removal work?

Removing unwanted hair can be tedious and time consuming which is the reason why people are always searching for a permanent hair removal solution. Laser hair removal is not considered a permanent solution but it can produce long lasting cosmetic results. The procedure can be carried out on all parts of the body and is used on both men and women.

How does it actually work and what should I expect?

Laser hair removal works by destroying the melanin pigment within each of the individual hair follicles in the area being treated. The melanin is the molecule that is targeted by the laser but by damaging this pigment the rest of the hair follicle is also destroyed preventing the hair from growing back again. Although there is some discomfort during the procedure most people tolerate it without any problems. Most laser hair removal procedures take around 15 minutes and you will normally need at least 4 repeat sessions.

During the procedure the clinician will first shave the area that is being treated and apply an anaesthetic gel to ensure a smooth and workable surface. The laser itself is actually a handheld instrument which is held over the target area for around 10 – 15 minutes. Most people experience a small amount of redness after the procedure but this wears off very quickly.

How good are the results?

The results will vary between different skin and hair types but most people will achieve a 70% reduction in hair growth. In addition to this, if the hair does return, it tends to be thinner and lighter in colour making it less noticeable.

What is the cost?

Laser hair removal cost will naturally depend on the size of the area being treated with the upper lip being around £50 per session, in Britain. There are a number of beauty Salon's around Ireland that provide laser hair removal with the starting cost for a bikini line and underarm wax being approximately €80.  Don’t forget you are likely to need around 6 separate sessions which will need to be budgeted for. The most expensive areas are likely to be the legs as these take the longest amount of time to treat. Like with all cosmetic surgery treatments, the cost will also vary depending on the clinic in question and also the reputation of the clinician.
