Looking to Perfect Your Pout?

I always like to keep my lips in as best shape as possible and here are a couple of products to allow you to get the perfect pout! Plump up your lips and make the most of your favorite lip gloss with HydroPeptide’s Perfecting Gloss: Lip Enhancing Treatment and the Swoon Universal Lip Gloss Scoop & Applicator. 

Plump up the volume on your kisser with Perfecting Gloss: Lip Enhancing Treatment ($38.00; www.hydropeptide.com), now available in three shades – Beach Blush, Berry Breeze and Nude Pearl (sampled). A blend of four peptides, niacin and a triple-sized hyaluronic acid work to restore lip fullness, volume and definition within minutes, while also enhancing long-lasting suppleness and hydration. A plumping peptide stimulates collagen and deeply penetrates skin to produce a fuller look while decreasing wrinkle depth. Also, a warming peptide provides a refreshing cool-tingly sensation, while niacin creates a pink flush for more youthful looking lips. Lastly, a triple-sized hyaluronic acid creates long-lasting hydration, ensuring kissable lips all night long!

Running low on your go-to gloss? I love products like these! Kiss lost gloss goodbye with the Swoon Universal Lip Gloss Scoop & Applicator ($12.00; www.getswoon.com). Known best as the “Lip Gloss Pick Up Artist,” this part scoop, part applicator is designed to retrieve every last bit of product from a lip gloss tube.

The extra-long, flexible applicator neck is designed to reach every spot of your tube so you can make every last bit of gloss count. Plus, an easy to hold handle and cover that snaps closed for safe keeping means you can throw it in your makeup bag and not have to worry about any spillage. This is the answer to being able to wear your lippy....down to the last drop. A practical product to love!
