I’m going to admit something to you now. It’s not that shameful, but maybe a few of you may snigger at me. This past summer, I’d spend at least 2 hours a day watching Gossip Girl on DVD. There, I’ve said it. Not that bad, right? I mean, who isn’t absolutely captivated by the non-stop drama of New York’s Upper East Side? Yes, the fact that Serena dodges every single question ever asked of her, and diffuses arguments with the lame excuse, ‘it really has nothing to do with me, I’m fine’, does get rather tedious, but all in all it does make for some rather great viewing.
Anyway. I’m back-tracking that little bit too much I think. But, Gossip Girl does have something to do with this week’s beauty column. You can’t be a reliable gossip (not that I’m endorsing gossip, in fact I think it is a terrible thing really, but we’re fantasising here) with dry, chapped lips. No. To gossip with power, you must sport some luscious, plump peckers. So, this week, I’ve searched high and low to find you the best, lip-smackingly great treats for your lips. To keep you feeling fabulous, and very Upper-East-Side…
Max Factor Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss, RRP $21.95
High shine, non-stick, extra curve? Yes please.
Benefit Ultra Shine Lip Shines, RRP $34
These promise to get you dancing. Actually, ‘boogying’. I like to boogie.
Blistex Soothe and Smooth Lip Balm, RRP $7.50
This new balm from Blistex comes in a funky new applicator – don’t make my mistake though, remember to twist the bottom, so the balm actually comes out! And it protects you from sunburn – always a good thing!
Max Factor Lip Finity, RRP $29.99
This gloss promises to be ‘pasta, pizza, and passion proof’ – it lasts up to ten hours on your lips! Well, I like pasta, pizza and passion.
Benefit D’finer D’liner, RRP $34
Any good gossip girl knows the benefit of lip-liner. And this one is clear, meaning no nasty lip-line traces will be left.
Honey Comb Valley Natural Honey and Beeswax Lip Balm, RRP $7.95
This is actually my brand new favourite lip balm. It is 100% natural, meaning I’m not eating any unknown substances, and it is delicious! And the family that makes them are all about sustainable living, a topic very close to my heart.
