Supplementing my lip product addiction


           

I'm a huge proponent of lip products, no matter what season. Whether it's winter, or spring, having moisturized lips and pop of colour are what I look for when I'm formulating my makeup wish list. I recently picked up two new products for Spring that I thought were essential: a lip balm and a bright, bold lip colour. I have long crowned Dior as my favourite high-end brand so their "Créme du rose" lip balm has long been on my wish list, so when my wallet was a little heavier I knew I had to get it. Upon first review of the product, it's size it great for popping in my purse, it smells lovely and has a nice, smooth consistency. My lips are dry and flakey no matter what season, and considering that spring and summer are the time of bright lips, I need a product to prime, smooth and plump before I even think about smacking on a lipstick that will draw attention to my lips. The second product I picked up, which I plan on wearing overtop of the Dior lip balm is the MAC matte lipstick in "so chaud" which is described, and true to colour, as an orange red (not a red-orange like "Lady Danger"). Orange lips have been trending over the last while and I have jumped on the bandwagon. With my yellow toned complexion and caramel ombréd hair, orange is very complementary.
