What's Haute | Top Lip Products

Keeping your lips well moisturized is an important part of beauty. I’ve noticed that with a moisturized, healthy mouth, anyone can become more confident about who they are if they put on a dazzling smile. However, I am usually not one to spend ten minutes putting on lip gloss when I’m in a rush in my life, which is why I usually heavily rely on some sort of chapstick.
I have personally probably tried every possible chapstick product under the sun in the United States that is sold at your local pharmacy store. I’ve tried everything from soft lips to Burt’s Bees, which has become a personal favorite for me.

But after recently learning about international lip care products, I’ve come to learn about Labello Although I found this extremely hard to obtain (thankfully there’s Amazon), after my first try of it, I immediately enjoyed it. With dozens of different tastes and designs, Labello not only has an interesting name to its product, but it’s also a great moisturizer for your lips. With over a hundred years of practice in the making, be sure to check out Labello for all your lip moisturizer care with colorful looks and tastes that will fit anything your lip needs.

The formula isn't sticky and requires very little touching up. It's a classic. Find it here.

Beauty Product Review: Candy Paint Lip Gloss

I can honestly say that I LOVE this lip gloss. This beauty product is super shiny and thick. The oil base carries color surprisingly well, and the color layers over other colors perfectly. You can even mix two of them to make your own new shade, without worrying about them blurring together. It is a very nurturing lip product, working as a balm with color, but it still has a luxurious lip gloss feel. It really makes your lips look perfectly full and luscious.

• The color "This Is Me" is a perfect nude color with a hint of a true to flesh tone, and it covers instead of just being sheer.



• The color "Bossy" is a ultra glam shade of gold, which looks very striking on brunettes with brown eyes, like me.

"Candy Paint is a distinctive, natural collection of sexy, high-shine, treatment lip glosses that glide on smoothly to deliver luxurious color. Infused with natural ingredients such as grapeseed oil, shea butter, aloe vera extract and vitamin E to hydrate, condition, protect and soothe your lips. Contains no petroleum, mineral oil, or artificial colors and absolutely no parabens." - Carol's Daughter website

When you purchase this glamorous lip gloss, you will also be supporting a greater cause. With each purchase of Candy Paint, Carol´s Daughter has committed to donate a portion of its profits to the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). Now that is definitely more than fabulous!

Note to regular readers: I'm still using my Body Jelly, and it's keeping my skin so soft during these last cold weeks!

Interview with Danielle Vincent of Kimiko Beauty

Last week we gave you the inside scoop on the fantastic and brand new beauty line Kimiko (which by the way is available on Vivre now) and now we're giving you the inside scoop on the gorgeous Danielle Vincent, founder of Kimiko beauty. She's a beauty insider, makeup artist and a diva with impeccable taste. Here's what Danielle spilled to HM. (Steal her tips to stay stunning)
HM: Describe your style in one word.
DV: Easy.

HM: What is your best-kept beauty secret?
DV: Proper sleep – your skin and your eyes always look best and brightest after a good night’s rest.

HM: Where is your favorite place to shop for beauty products?
DV: I prefer boutique shops. I enjoy the thrill of discovering rarities; a beautiful one-of-a-kind makeup bag, or a unique perfume that I know isn’t widely available.

HM: Who is your style icon?
DV: Style is very personal, with inspiration drawn from so many different places and even specific moments. I do appreciate Grace Kelly’s timeless and easy elegance.

HM: What is the biggest mistake a woman can make when putting on make-up?
DV: Everyday makeup is meant to enhance, not create a made-up look, so the key is to blend well. Protect the skin with a broad spectrum SPF before beginning the makeup application. Focus on blending, so the result is enhancement rather than distraction.

HM: What is one lesson you are grateful for learning throughout your career in the beauty industry?
DV: Envision your goals and take smalls steps towards them every day. These small steps are what make big dreams a reality.

HM: What advice would you give to young beauty industry professionals trying to make their fame?
DV: Trust you instincts, be bold and do what you love.

HM: If you could give women a beauty tip to always look fabulous what would it be?
DV: Be comfortable in your own skin. Self-esteem shows a woman’s true beauty. (and when you’re running out that door to take on the world, a fabulous eye-opening mascara never hurt either!) http://www.kimikobeauty.com/

Kimiko Beauty

I'll admit it, I was in a major beauty rut (as most of you reading are probably in as well) Bobbi Brown for the face, Longo for the lips, Dior for the eyes. I realized that I had the same look, every day and every night so I decided to do something about it and try something completely new. My search for a new beauty routine led me to the fabulous Kimiko line. Now, let me be very clear here. I don't fall in love easily, but I fell madly in love with Kimiko. Kimiko is fast becoming the go to beauty line of make-up artists and women like myself who want cosmetics packed with quality as well as the latest in technology. Kimiko was created by the gorgeous beauty expert and makeup artiste Danielle Vincent, who has done extensive research on new ingredients and techniques. Kimiko promises to bring you "beauty beyond today."

My favorite products from Kimiko include the Lip Plumper in "Sweet Plum" (which leaves your lips the perfect shade of raspberry and pumps them up into a luscious dream) and the Kimiko Uplifing Blush in "Golden Giesha" (which is perfect for quick touch-ups without the mess and will leave you looking as if you spent the day in St. Tropez). The whole line is sheer luxury. Application is smooth and flawless. Your makeup will last for hours. Discover my new beauty secret, Kimiko, and be prepared to fall in love. -Mimi

Beauty Product Review of the Week: Liplicious Plumping Lip gloss

This is a fabulous product for ladies that what that extra oomph from a lip gloss. The texture and sheen is phenomenal and the scents are amazing. The neat thing about this product is that you can squeeze the gloss out, and then gently glide the gloss over your lips. It makes wearing lip gloss fun.

I use the shades Pink Grapefruit (shown in image above), and Dipped Straberry.

Note: Take care to keep the tip of the applicator clean and free of excess gloss so it is easy to close after each application.

Beauty Product Review of the Week: E.L.F. Cosmetics

We all get a little jolt of triumph when we score a bargain. Especially when that bargain will make you not only turn heads but break necks. My new favorite drugstore find is E.L.F. Cosmetics. E.L.F. (which stands for eyes-lips- face) offers an array of makeup that leave you looking gorgeous without breaking the bank. The color palettes are expertly chosen to compliment fashion trends. So this fall while you’re prancing around in that plum satin mini dress and gold cowboy boots, dust your lids with E.L.F.’s plum palette. With so many products to choose from and at insanely low prices why not go crazy and fill up your professional Sephora make-up trunk.

Editor’s Pick:

My favorite product from E.L.F. cosmetics that I stock up on is the Hypershine gloss. I go through one tube of lip gloss in one week. So this gloss is perfect, economy wise. The formula is long lasting and won’t leave your lips feeling sticky or gooey. I finished off a mini bottle of Pellegrino with gloss intact. Now that’s a feat. The applicator is genius. It dispenses just the right amount of gloss. Hypershine gloss comes in an array of colors that compliment all skin-tones. Get glossy ladies. http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ xx MIMI
