Quick tip: Blush for your lips!

Hey girls!

I thought it would be time for me to write a beauty related post. 

If you’re like me and you have pretty thin lips that you don’t want to overly accentuate but don’t want to neglect as well, than I have the perfect solution for you! 

Try using blush on your lips. It may sound weird and you might think that it will leave your lips looking really dry. But they won’t! Not if you follow these steps:

1. choose your favorite lip balm. 

The more moisture it has, the better for your lips! Using a lip balm as a base for your blush will make sure that your lips won’t look dry, but perfectly healthy and moisturised instead. 

Babylips by Maybelline are my faves!

2. Pick your favorite blush. 

Choose a blush that you love, but also matches your lips.

It's important that you use you fingers to apply the blush on your lips. Just rub your finger on the blush and tap it on your lips. It will give you the right amount of product.

3. Use a lip balm on top.

You can skip this part if you're totally happy with the result you’ve become after step 2, but if you feel like you need that extra shine, then read on! Put some lipbalm on top of the blush, it gives you a more glossy effect.

Voila, this !s my quick tip! I hope you enjoyed it. I also think that using a blush on your lips, gives you a more natural look. - Amal ♥

Red lips

Hello!

To be honest, I'm not a girl who wears bright colours on her lips a lot. Well, except for red. I think red is such a classic colour and if I could travel back in time, I would definitely choose the fifties. Or the medieval times (don't ask why, just something about knights and horses and castles...)

Anyway, back to the colour red. It's a lip colour you can wear with any outfit, even if your outfit doesn't have red in it. When people think of red lips, they immediately think of a classy and formal outfit. But recently, women have been wearing it as an everyday look and I absolutely love it! Your outfit can be monotonous and bland but add some bright red lips and POP! You stand out and you can make any clothes ensemble look amazing with some colour. You can wear yesterday's clothes or even a plastic bag but add some red lipstick and nobody would notice anything other than your lips.

There are different kinds of red lipsticks. I like matte colours since they tend to stay on longer and it's a little more subtle. Well, the subtlest a red lip could get of course. The three lipsticks pictured below are my favourite. They stay on all day and don't require much touching up (unless you're a very messy eater/drinker).

Here are 3 of my favourite red lipsticks:
107 Kate Moss collection from Rimmel
01 Kate Moss collection from Rimmel
Rouge Vermeil from PHAS

Here are some swatches:
