LUSH lips & face for holidays and any days!

What Does Your Skin Need? Find Out

Summer yields skin damage, so here are some ways to repair it

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care tips article Sun, alcohol, chlorine, saltwater ... summer was fun while it lasted, but how's your skin taking it? Find out some ways to quickly repair the damage. Get tips

Well friends have I ever found something for you!

Lush, fresh handmade cosmetics "It Started With a Kiss" lip tint is amazing! It's organic, vegan, composed of extra virgin coconut oil, resh red apple infusion, shea butter and tastes amazing!

You would love tinkering around on their website to learn more about them as a company because each product comes with a made date and a use by date.

I love this cool red tone and it's soft on the lips and

eyes! So it's just enough for an office day look and if you add a lip liner to it the LUSH liptint can go out to evening play.
Now believe it or not but the holiday season is upon us and you will have a party to go to or family photos to take in no time! So start planning now!

There may be a LUSH store near you, if not allow some time for shipping.

Now the next series of photos you can see I have a bag full of pink shimmer creme product.

I don't know what the name of this is but I love it!

I have played with it alone, under makeup, on top of makeup, on eye lids and lips.

Since it's a pure product I don't have to worry about putting it near my eyes and lips.

I used a foundation brush, my fingers and a sponge to get different levels of coverage and texture with the product.

One of the things about LUSH is that they do very minimal packaging to save on cost for you and environmental concerns. Makeup containers can only be used for recycling at a low level of crude re-uses because of the normally high level of petroleum products housed in the containers.

So a lipstick tube usually gets recycled into other cosmetic packaging or tires.

I know you will love LUSH once you give them a try and when you love it for yourself-give some to a friend or family member so they can love it too!
