| L-R Disney Princess Lip Smacker in Ariel, Barry M Lipstick in 162 |
On the 6th of July, all you taken ladies can rejoice and partake in National Kissing Day. I, however, will not be doing so being a good ol' singleton. But you see, kissing involves the lips and to me, lips equal lipstick so writing about this very special and completely meaningful day (sarcasm?) was something I just had to do being a beauty blogger and all. So boyfriend-less or not, hurrah for National Kissing Day - any excuse to whack out those lipsticks.
If you are planning on puckering up and showing off that pout then you're going to need a few little products to ensure it's looking beautiful and in tip-top condition. And floss picks are first on my list. The DenTek Complete Clean Floss Picks* - £4.40 are perfect as they remove food, reduce tooth decay, remove plaque, cleans the tongue and fight bad breath with their fresh mint flavour. They're great at getting to the hard to reach areas such as tight teeth and back teeth. They're also a lovely small size so they're perfect for popping into your handbag (in a smaller bag for hygiene purposes) for touch ups throughout the day. Secondly, you're going to need lovely soft lips if you want them to be kissable and I'm really loving the Disney Princess Lip Smacker balms* - £2.55 at the moment. The one above is the Ariel one which has a Calypso Berry scent and taste. It's absolutely delicious and I've been using it constantly throughout the day for weeks now. It does leave a weird pale purple tint to your lips but of course, you're going to be using lipstick so that doesn't matter too much. The Disney Princess balms are also really hydrating and they don't leave a nasty film/layer on the lips either. My lipstick of choice is the Barry M Lip Stick in 162* - £4.49. I'm currently loving red lips with a simple eye and this one is a really deep but completely wearable red. This is my first Barry M lipstick and although I've read a few bad reviews about the formula, I haven't had a problem with it. They're not necessarily moisturising lipsticks but I don't think they're drying either. 162 glides onto the lips and lasts really well which is great if you're going to be going out on a date. Of course, if you are going to be kissing someone, I don't think they'd be too happy with the colour choice as you'd be leaving your lipstick all over them but you know, that's the price we pay for beauty after all!
