Day 14: Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day beauties! This day is about sharing the love with others but don't forget to love yourself! Be bold, be confident with this beauty of a lipstick! 

 
Julie Hewett Icon of Beauty Lipstick in Scarlett ($22.50 USD): Lipstick lovers will love Julie Hewett's line of lipsticks. Icon of Beauty is an extension of the brand's coveted Noir Lipstick Collection, and includes 3 lipsticks named after 3 Hollywood starlets Thandie, Annette, and Scarlett. Packaged in the same luxe gold tubes, these lipsticks will definitely spark a few admirers. 

Icon of Beauty lipsticks are made with the same long-lasting, double-pigmented ingredients with the essence of Rosebud and Camellia oils - oh and they are paraben-free. Scarlett is a stunning creamy shade of carmine-rose-fuchsia - a shade that is definitely not shy. I love how crisp the colour is and how white it makes my teeth look. This is one shade that would look equally fantastic against fair skin and exotic beauties.

It's been a fun series featuring my favourite lippies that are good for you inside and out! I hope you enjoyed it! What was your favourite lip product of this series?

Day 12: 14 Good-For-You Lippies For Valentine's Day!

Another Makeup Junkie favourite from Tarte Cosmetics for Day 12!

 
Tarte Cosmetics Double Dose Berry Boost & Gloss in Acai Boost ($21 USD): I became a fan of these glosses 2 years ago when Tarte first launched them. Made with only the best skinvigorating ingredients, this gloss gives you a double dose of rich colour and shine to rejuvenate your lips! 

Acai Boost is my new favourite from the line. This sheer sparkling raspberry really compliments my complexion. The colour really pops and is all the makeup you really need when wearing this shade. The colour is more pigmented than your average gloss and is rich in texture. My lips stay moisturized for hours and the colour lasts through a couple glasses of wine and even dinner. Once it wears off the colour becomes a nice stain.

Day 10: 14 Good-For-You Lippies For Valentine's Day!

Day 10 lippie feature is weightless, paraben-free and Canadian!

 
Beaute Cosmetics Weightless Lip Creme in Girlina ($26 CDN):  If you like the idea of a gloss but want something with more colour and less shine then you'll adore the Weightless Lip Cremes from Beaute. They feel light as mousse on the lips and have long-lasting pigment. When you first apply the product, it feels very smooth and moisturizing, but once it sets it dries to a lipstick finish. Make sure your lips are chap-free and well moisturized prior to application. It will only enhance dry skin.

Girlina is described as a bright but pale Barbie pink. This would look absolutely flirty for V-day with shimmery pale shadow, black liquid liner winged out, luminous skin finished with soft baby doll cheeks! Smoky and sultry more your style? Pair with charcoal grey lids for some allure.

Day 9: 14 Good-For-You Lippies For Valentine's Day!

I just had to feature this kiss-worthy gloss again for its flirty name and its paraben-free quality!

 
BALMSHELL Lip Gloss in "You Give Me Fever" ($20 CDN): I think the natural flush of the cheeks is such a beautiful colour. It's real, in the moment, and utterly feminine. You Give Me Fever is a sheer rosy cheek pink, inspired by the shade your cheeks turn when you blush. It gives your lips a kiss of pink - enough to get noticed but not so much that your cutie will be turned off.

These paraben-free glosses contain Jojoba oil to moisturize the lips, Lanolin oil to lock in the moisture, and are flavoured with a hint of natural fruity vanilla.

Day 6: 14 Good-For-You Lippies For Valentine's Day!

Day 6 features a paraben-free shimmering gloss your lips will love!

 
Julie Hewett Lip Lush in Harlow ($20 USD):  "Lush" is exactly what these glosses feel like on the lips. The hi-shine formula applies ultra smooth and hydrates your lips without any stickiness. These glosses are paraben-free and contain essence of ginger, an antioxidant that promotes healing. 

First of all, love the name Harlow. Secondly, this sparkling red with gold shimmer gloss is just gorgeous! When the light hits your lips it really does sparkle and not in that over-the-top glittery way. The finish is sheer but isn't so sheer you can barely notice it. I love this gloss any time of the day. Pump it up at night and layer over top a red lipstick or over a pink lipstick for a truly unique shade!
