A WEIRD BEAUTY TIP I WON'T BE TRYING

This is only a short post this time. There has been something that has been bugging me for probably about a couple of years now. I remember reading a tip that I haven't forgotten since, and not for a good reason and here it is:

"Put olive oil in your belly button at night to reduce sore and cracked lips in the morning."

I'm sorry, but what?! How does what goes in my belly button affect what happens to my lips?! And why olive oil of all things. I just can't get over how silly this sounds. However, there is a small part of me that wishes that one of my lovely blog readers has tried this and it actually works so if you have, or you think it's just a strange as I do, please let me know!

TED BAKER BRIGHT PINK AND DARK PURPLE LIP CRAYONS

 I got these for Christmas in a Ted Baker makeup box set - alongside these I got eyeliner, eyelashes and nail varnish but these lip crayons are the product I most use from the set. Both colours are completely different but are both stunning! The glide on like and dream and the colour pigment is wonderful, the only criticism I have is that they don't stay on for as long as I'd hoped, but with the little packaging, they are very easy to carry on in your bag, either in the day or at night.

I would definitely buy Ted Baker's Makeup range again, especially their lips range. For two colours that are so different, I wear both of them quite a lot!

CLASSIC CARMEX MOISTURISING LIP BALM REVIEW: EVERY GIRLS BEST FRIEND

Thousands of new beauty products are released every year and even though many of them are ground-breaking and will go on to be an important and popular product in the beauty world, sometimes there's just nothing like an old classic product the we know works. Putting Vaseline aside, Carmex is the 'go-to' lip product that a huge number of girls go to when cracked and sore lips are on the horizon, ad I for one, am one of those girls. It might not be the most attractive of packages, but it certainly does the job and has never let me down.

The Body Shop Born Lippy Satsuma Shimmer

Christmas, snow, the New Year, thick jumpers... Winter's such a beautiful and eventful time, there is so much to love, but also a lot of thing to dislike. Amongst things like the cold, de-icing the car and endless amount of rain, the way the winter affects your skin has to be right at the top of that list. Chapped lips is not something that people want to parade around with. Not only is it painful and uncomfortable, it's not a pretty sight.
