With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, here are a few tips to get ultra soft, smooth, kissable lips:
Step 1
Apply Vaseline to your lips each night before bedtime. You may have another lip balm product you will want to use instead, but if not, good old Vaseline works wonders.
Step 2
Keep an extra toothbrush handy and use it to lightly brush the surface of your lips each day to remove dead or dry skin. You will want to do this just as your Vaseline or other moisturizer is wearing off so that the dry skin comes off smoothly and easily. If you wait until your lips are already dry, it won’t do much good!
Step 3
Always use a water-resistant lip balm. The skin on your lips is ultra thin and delicate. Since you don’t need to “tan” your lips, too much sun exposure will cause your lips to burn, chap, or worse. This can make applying any type of lip color a nightmare. A protective lip balm will prevent damage and soften your lips all at the same time.
Step 4
Use a lip liner that is close to your natural lip color. You don’t want to use one that’s too dark – your lip liner is there to help keep your lip color in place and make it last longer, not to create a distracting line around your mouth.
Step 5
When applying lipstick, blot your lipstick with a tissue after applying each layer. This will give your base lip color extra staying power.
Step 6
February is a perfect time to try fun, flirty shades in pink, red or berry. Once you’ve finalized your clothing choices, choose a shade that compliments your coloring and goes well with your outfit.
Step 7
After applying your lipstick, finish off your look with a soft, shiny lipgloss. But be sure not to go overboard on the gloss – too much can take your lips from gorgeous to gooey. Also, by layering and blotting your lipstick as mentioned in the above step, you won’t have to touch up your lipstick during the evening, which usually requires precision – and a mirror. Glosses are lighter and easier to apply, so you can quickly and easily touch up the shine if needed.
These tips will give you a perfect pout and help your lip color last much longer – throughout your entire Valentine’s Day date, perhaps?

If there is one thing I cannot live without it’s my mascara. The second you elongate those lashes, your eyes open up and your whole faces takes on a new look. Learn the tricks of the pros and see how you can achieve long, thick, beautifully enticing eyelashes that everyone will fall for!
Step 1:
After applying your face lotion, wait for it to dry completely. Apply a light powder over your eye concealer to prevent leaks and smudges.
Step 2:
Take an eyelash curler and start curling as close to the roots as possible. After doing so, move the curler up a little bit more and curl again. Repeat this process 2-3 times, until lashes are curled up. TIP: if you find that your lashes don’t curl, use your blow dryer to heat up the curler for 2-5 seconds.
Step 3:
Take your favorite thickening or lengthening mascara, and hold the wand at the base of your lashes. Wiggle the wand from side to side then brush straight up through the ends. Apply 2-3 coats on each lash, leaving about 2 minutes in between to dry.
Step 4:
After each coat of mascara, use an eyelash comb to comb out the lashes as to not get any clumps. Avoid smudging by applying a coat of waterproof mascara on top.
Step 5:
Finish off by swiping your lower lashes with mascara. If you wish, you can also add a few fake lashes on the outer corner of your eyes to make them look even fuller.
