New Nude Lips
Nudes are all the rage this Spring, and I love it! I’m not usually a lipstick wearing girl, but I’ll definitely do this velvety shade of nude by Revlon. I love the subtlety and lightweight feel, and to top things off, it’s only $7.99! What a steal! Sorry, Sephora, I think Target, CVS and Walgreens beat ya on this one.
This is also a part of Bao’s Spring 2010 Must Haves so be sure to check out the rest of her awesome recommendations!
Above Product: Revlon Matte Lipstick Nude Attitude 001 $7.99
Bao’s Tip: “Add a little layer of clear lip gloss on top.”

All Natural Lip Balm – Repairs and Restores!
In my early teens, I used Mentholatum on my lips every night. I had really nice, smooth lips and I was happy about it until I realized just how addicted my lips have become to this product. As soon as I stopped using Mentholatum, my lips turned into a chapped nightmare. Constant peeling and cracking– NOT cute and so painful!
Ever since then, I have been on a constant hunt for great organic, non-addictive, all-natural lip balm. I wanted something that would soothe my lips with natural ingredients.
That’s when I found Lavera Repair Lip Balm. I was a bit skeptical but after reading through the oh-so-natural ingredient list, I was sold. It contains shea butter, beeswax, Vitamin E, olive fruit oils, jojoba seed oil, soybean oil, sweet almond oil and much more earthy, good stuff.
Like their description states, it seriously brought soothing relief to my horrendously sore chapped and cracked (at times bloody, ew) lips. I strongly recommend this product to anyone whose lips are addicted to the bad, medicated lip balms.
For best results, use throughout the day and generously at night before going to bed.
