Valentine's Day-Ready Lips Couldn't be Easier


Happy (upcoming) Valentine's Day everyone! Even if you don't have a Valentine this year (as is the case for myself), I still think it's a fun day where you get to eat chocolate and watch your favourite sappy movies with friends.  Plus at least my dad gets me flowers, so there's that...
Anyway Valentine or not, soft, kissable lips are something we all want- not just because they feel good but what better base is there for all of our favourite lip colours?

My strategy for keeping my lips smooth (especially in Alberta's dry winters) is painfully simple.  A quick scrub with Lush's Popcorn Lip Scrub followed by a nice coat of Blistex before I go to sleep and I wake up with my lips ready for whatever coat of paint I decide is right for the day.
Usually, when I wake up I also give my lips a quick and gentle scrub with a toothbrush, then another coat of lip balm while I do the rest of my makeup so my lip colour goes on without gripping to any dry yucky bits.



I've talked to you before about my deeeeep love of Blistex but Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub is a product that I have only been using for a couple of weeks.  After a horrible attempt at making my own lip scrub (let's just say an analgesic lip balm is NOT a good base) and a pot of Lush's Mint Julips Scrub that dried out much too soon for my liking, I decided to try again.  The smell is absolutely fantastic (if you like popcorn) and it works very well, without any gross residue left behind.  Win-win!

I know this was a super quick post but check back soon as, continuing with the spirit of Valentine's, I'll be jabbering on about my favourite red lipsticks!
