5 Must-Have Lip Colors For This Festive Season

---By Kylie Tang---

We have thousands of reasons to put colors on lips. Some girls are shy to colors while some are bold to show off their pretty, painted lips – yes, I say “paint”! Once you have applied a lipstick (the painting brush~), you instantly enjoy a complemented complexion which catches much attention from those around you. Now you have a choice: a color tone for this festive season!

You’ll Never Get Wrong With Classic Red

Not many ladies like carrying bright red colors. Yet, I highly support them for Christmas. Just look at those Christmas accessories – we can have complemented lips this season. Why not choose a classic red on lips that tends to your Santa hat? Be bold to show off a pop of healthy, glammed-up colors. Some says bright colors work the best on light skin yet I just found red is applicable on most complexions.

Believe me, you won’t get wrong with bright red!

Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Excess Moisture Rich Lipcolor

Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Excess Moisture Rich Lipcolor (#401 Hot) has the true red hue you need. It offers an intense and vibrant red colors, it satisfies your reddish desire.

The Universal Girly Color - Pure Pink

Pink is a shade that most ladies like. For me, I can’t take my eyes off pink-painted lips – they are just delightful. It’s the color that suits all complexions! You’ll be more girlish, younger-looking and vibrant after applying a perfect pink shade. Tell your the world that “I like being a girl”.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick (#49 Rose Saint Germain) creates a pop of pink, and it contains 6 emollient oils for a beautifully glowing PINK!

I Just Love My Complexion

Pick a nude lipstick for the Christmas, if you love the introverted and dignified pigment. Nude lipsticks perform well on most sorts of makeup, even though you’ve got “full gear” – eye shadow, a complete foundation routine, mascara, blush (all together). Nude colors are also suitable for makeup-free girls! Enjoy an illuminated complexion and choose the right nude hue for your skin tone.

Nude lip colors can be carried by all kinds of complexions.

M.A.C. Cremesheen Lipstick

M.A.C. Cremesheen Lipstick (Crème D'Nude) creates a lovely color of ice-cream on your lips. It is infused with pearlized pigments and is ideal for Asian complexions.

Doesn’t Matter If You Are Shy To Colors

I understand that. I just need a lipstick that creates a natural flush of pink color. If you find healthy-look outweighs a makeup and color-oriented appearance, try Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm.

Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm

It is a made-to-measure lip balm that enhances the lip’s natural colors. Ideal for girls who hope to keep a lower profile on lip colors. The lovely perfume-shaped lip balm deserves much attention.

“Nobody knows I have put on lip colors yet Christian Dior helps create a healthy look.”

The Bravery To Dark Colors

It doesn’t require much bravery in fact. Heavy makeup is not compulsory. Pick some pure and fresh purples and work on clear, concise makeup for a noble finish. Embrace the Korean beauty trend. 

An Everlasting Gift

So have you chosen your own colors? I’ve decided to purchase at least one before Christmas. Let your lips smile with alternative colors!

La Mauve Lifting Primer Serum – Turn Back The Hands Of Time

- by Caroline Hastings-Brown -

Switzerland and the Swiss are known and loved for many of the finer things in life – such as exquisite chocolates, the most mouth-watering cheeses and exquisite lakes and mountains. The long-held position of neutrality in global politics, and refusal to take sides in times of war. And of course the tradition of the world’s finest, most accurate and beautiful watches and clocks. And the mentality of the population that supports this, the mentality of precision, perfectionism and punctuality. Makes me want to move there right now!

Experience Swiss Skin Care Perfection Wherever You Are

But seeing as that is not on the cards, I am able to reliably inform you that you can get a piece of that exclusive Swiss perfection and scientific precision with the luxurious Swiss skin care brand La Mauve, now available through your favourite beauty shopping website COSME-DE.COM. 

La Mauve Lifting Primer Serum

How about if I were to let you know that the La Mauve Lifting Primer Serum combines various cutting-edge, highly effective ingredients which lift, firm, hydrate and brighten your skin, restoring a younger and radiant look and reversing the signs of aging? Now that’s something to yodel about from the tops of a snow-capped peak!

Science That Works Like A Miracle

And while there are many products out there that promise similar benefits, only La Mauve uses Snow Algae Powder – a highly ingenious ingredient that is extracted from unique algae and is able to survive the extreme conditions of alpine and polar snow fields.  

So, let’s take a leaf out of our Swiss friends’ books and look at a little of the science behind what snow algae powder actually does? The valuable stress response molecules produced by the algae in these extreme environmental conditions can protect the youthfulness of the skin effectively. Snow Algae Powder can activate biochemical pathways that are essential key factors in a promising longevity theory: calorie restriction. Calorie restriction, which is a special dietary regime that involves reducing calorie intake by between 25% and 65%, has been shown in many experiments to improve both the health span and lifespan of individuals. 

Snow Algae Powder improves the longevity of the skin cells by mimicking the effects of caloric restriction. It activates two key factors of the calorie restriction pathway: the Klotho longevity gene and the AMPK energy sensor – they together lead to improved cellular defenses, cell detoxification and repair. It helps stimulate collagen production, rejuvenate dermis, reduce dark spots and reinforce skin barrier for a younger, smoother look.

The Science of Beauty

So, if all of that is a little TOO much science for you, never fear! The results on your smooth, radiant, wrinkle-free, even-toned and youthful skin will speak for themselves! Simply use morning and evening after cleansing and toning. Gently massage into your face using outward and upward circles and then wrap the face with your palms to increase absorption, and follow with a moisturizer.

Beat time AND save money!

And currently at 51% off with COSME-DE.COM, you can experience these miraculous benefits at a precisely reduced price! Here’s to Switzerland and their ability to go beyond the ordinary to turn back time!
