By Terry Laque De Rose Tinted Replenishing Lip Care

An intense lipcare product combined with sumptuous, natural looking colour. For extra protection, the formula is enriched with UV filters (SPF 15) combined with Vitamin E, to ensure an optimum barrier against damage caused by pollution, the ozone, sun and wind.

Packed with loads of active ingredients moisturise and condition lips as well as protect from harmful UV rays. The natural colour and subtly glossy finish will brighten up your smile, not to mention this elegantly packaged tube looks uber chic in your make up bag.

Although appears intensely bright & vivid in tube, the ultimate shade on your lips is reassuringly sublime. Laque de rose has an intoxicating rose fragrance & feels luxuriously balmy on my lips. This excellent lip care product not only soothes the most parched lips I have ever known ( mine ), but also plumps them up  so lips appear fuller & freshens breathe. Taste delicious too !

LPB June 2010 Favourites

Items I can’t stop loving & using this month :

For warm summer months, I tend to ” holy go lightly ” on face creams. Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief never fails to deliver a bath of hydrating freshness & relief to my skin, whether it’s burned or not ( hopefully not with the religious use of sun block ).

On nights when I need extra pampering, I will treat myself with Clarins Multi Active Nuit; Enveloping myself in a soothing & nurturing environment.

I never neglects my eyes & lips, even when the temperature rises. Instead, I tend to slather on eye balm & lip balm. I am currently using Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream, as a treatment and an indispensable gloss. Chanel Hydramax+ Active Nutrition Lip Care keeps my lips soft & supple, which is important as I like strong, vivid lips when the sun is out.

My make up rules for summer are  - Be safe, Be bold and Be selective.

I always ensure I have enough sun protection before heading out. Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation has an SPF of 20; simply needs to be buffed on for a refined finish that offers sheer to medium coverage.

Estee Lauder Aeromatte Pressed Powder is light & easy, again, I use this for a perfectly bare but impeccably buffed style.

Chanel Rouge Allure Genial is a great pick me up coral when I want to play up my lips. NARS Burn It Blue rises to the occasion when my eyes want to be in the lime light.

MAC blushers in bright pink ( like fashion frenzy ) are my favourites when it’s time for a dramatic cheek. Otherwise, a sweep of Bobbi Brown Antigua Bronzer will keep me looking healthy & radiant.

I also use Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss in Petal quite a lot this month. Its shimmery finish is mesmerising.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge mascara is a must have when temperature & humidity are soaring.

Of course, my fragrance becomes lighter & fresher; Jo Malone Pine & Eucalyptus Living Cologne is my current pick.

I am more diligent about deep cleansing & exfoliating in the summer months. Clinique Anti Blemish Solution Oil Control Cleansing Mask , Clinique Turnaround Radiance Peel are the products I turned to when I want detoxification & desquamation. ( Of course, I don’t use them together – over peeling  & the resultant irritation is not fun )

Chanel Hydramax + Active Nutrition Lip care

Soften, smooth and comfort dry, delicate lips with this highly effective lip care treatment, specifically created for intensely parched lips. Formulated with Ceratonia PFA*, a customized ingredient, along with Shea Butter and Cottonseed Oil extract, to deeply hydrate, nourish and help repair.

Soft, supple and deeply moisturized, lips look sensuously plumped and perfectly smooth, with a beautiful satiny finish.

A posh balm that has a faint fruity aroma & light glossy finish.

The best thing about Hydra+ Active Nutrition lip care is actually its texture; incredibly buttery, totally non greasy/waxy/occlusive or sticky; Instead it’s refreshingly replenishing.

I am smiling as my usually dry/parched/cracked lips are now fuller, smoother & nourished.

Unfortunately, it has no SPF and comes in a square container ( which means you have to dip your finger into the product )
