5 Classic Red Lipstick Colors

I love makeup and rarely leave the house without it on, but I do consider myself a minimalist when it comes to makeup.  It takes me less than 10 minutes to put it on in the morning, and I have my basic routine of foundation, mascara, a little blush, eye liner and red lipstick.  Red lipstick is an easy, classy approach to boost a basic look.  Classic red lipstick has the capability to transform any look, and honestly I haven’t found a red lip color I didn’t like.  But through trials and lots of red lipstick, I have found 5 classic red lipstick colors that I love and have on rotation in my purse.  Depending on what I am wearing and my mood of the day, I’ll wear a lighter shade of red or a darker shade, or matte or high gloss.

If you don’t have a favorite signature red lipstick, check out my favorite 5 Classic Red Lipstick Colors and then let me know which ones are your favorite!  Of course color is a matter of personal preference and what looks great on your skin tone.  Price is also another factor, but I have found that quality and good lip color are hard to find at the grocery store, although I have one favorite L’oreal red lipstick lip color.  If you are hesitant, spend some time at Sephora trying on these lip colors or other red lipsticks.  You will eventually find your favorite classic red lipstick color that you’ll want to wear everyday.  Also, consider lip pencils and stains for longer lasting.

Skincare During the Summer Months

Proper skincare during the summer months will help to prevent sun damage, uneven skin color and aging.  Hydrate your skin this summer so you have that summer glow and less stress to your skin.  Skincare has been on my mind lately because I got so burnt in Mexico, and it took quite some time for my skin to heal.  So, this summer I want to be extra cautious when exposed to the sun, especially my face.  I’ve been starting to get in a daily routine now so my skincare during the summer months is second nature.  Every summer I get older and older so anti-aging remedies are on my mind.

Skincare During the Summer Months

  1. Find a daily face and body sunscreen like La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios Clear Skin dry touch sunscreen.  Protecting your face daily is so important and will prevent wrinkle and early aging.  The Anthelios sunscreen has an SPF of 60, water-resistant.  It’s a dry-touch sunscreen so it’s fast absorbing and doesn’t cause breakouts or leave your face feeling oily or greasy.  The Anthelios Dermo-kids sunscreen is also great for children.  It’s sensitive so no summer sunscreen rash you’ll have to deal with.  And it’s easy to apply.  I keep these in my Hat Attack beach bag all summer long so they are always ready to be used.
  2. Dry body brushing every morning or every other morning before you take a shower.  I did a huge post on dry brushing and after my recent sunburn I’ve been getting back into the habit to keep the blood circulating and the dead skin off.  If you don’t know about dry brushing read up on it in my post.
  3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!  Especially when you have been in the sun all day.  Staying hydrate will keep your skin from drying out…literally.  Add a lemon to your water to keep you metabolism going and to hydrate!  Here are a few favorite summer time healthy lemonade recipes to get you started.

4.  Use a cleansing solution every night.  The Vichy Laboratoires’ Purete Thermale 3-in-1 Micellar Water purifies skin, removes make-up and soothes irritation in one simple step.  Summertime always brings so much more hostile exposure to the skin, make sure to remove impurities and leave you skin feeling hydrated and smooth with a cleansing solution.

5.  Apply a skin booster cream every morning similar to Vichy Laboratoires Mineral 89 .  This face moisturizer is not your typical kind but much better.  It is packed with 15 minerals to healthy looking skin.  It’s pure and clean–no paraben, fragrance or oil silicones–completely transparent.  It also helps to shield against visible aging.  After using a skin booster cream then apply your face sunscreen.

6.  Use an anti-aging cream.  I wish I started using one much earlier in my life, but recently I have made it a priority to use an anti-aging cream to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles.  The sun is the harshest to our face and will dry our skin out like a raisin.  Counterattack with a daily anti-aging cream like Vichy Liftactiv Anti-Wrinkle and Facial Moisturizer and drinking your daily water.

7.  Last but not least–wear a hat!  Don’t leave the house without one.  Wearing a hat will do the most protection.  There are so many fashionable hats and a great summertime accessory.  Not only will it protect your face but also your eyes.  I also keep a hat at all times in my beach bag.

Best Skincare Beauty Products for Cold Weather

I am not kidding when I say my skin cracks and bleeds in the cold weather winter months.  If I am not on top of my skin’s moisture, I get sores from the irritation and dryness, and I have to bandage up my skin to stop the hurt and help the healing process.  Extreme weather changes definitely can create havoc on your skin and your daily beauty regimen.  So I have been on the hunt of the best skincare beauty products for cold weather.  Living in the south, my skin has become use to the humidity.  So, right when there is a lack of moisture it rapidly becomes flaky with scaly patches and then the deep skin cracks start to appear.  Anyone else have these extremities?  This year, I am getting ahead of the winter months and have been testing out skincare beauty products the last month to get my defense game on.  You know how I love and am loyal to coconut oil, which I still am, but I am starting to incorporated the following skincare beauty products in my daily regimen.  So, here my choices for the best skincare beauty products for cold weather:

Best Skincare Beauty Products for Cold Weather:

Nubian Heritage Coconut Papaya Hand Cream–this hand cream goes with me on the go.  I keep it in my purse and pull it out after I wash my hand to help keep my hands moist.  The hand cream is thick and healing.  Made with shea butter, coconut oil and aloe vera, it delivers nourishment and hydration to chapped, dry hands.

Nubian Heritage African Black Soap Body Bar— African black soap is known to treat eczema, acne, and other skin ailments.  The Nubian Heritage brand is designed to hydrate, cleanse and calm skin problems.  Wash your body everyday with the African black soap body bar and you will have balance skin tone and improve skin texture.

Lalicious Brown Sugar Shower Oil and Bubble Bath–Whether you use it as a shower oil after washing your body with the black soap or a bubble bath, the probiotic formula and comfy scent of brown sugar, will leave your skin silky smooth.  The oil is made with grapeseed oil and jicama root juice that will leave your skin soft and moisturized.

Pur Big Look mascara–Made with Argan oil, this mascara is not only nourishing but keeps your lashes full with a dewy sheen all day.  In cold weather, my lashes get beat up with the wind and cold breeze.  The oil protects and Pur Big look is an extreme lash enhancer.

Revlon ColorStay Eye Pen–This eyeliner glides on smoothly and lasts up to 16 hours even in the extreme conditions.  Whenever there is a cold breeze against my face, my eyes tend to water and my makeup usually runs.  But not when I wear the Revlon ColorStay eye pen because it stays put!  This is a great skincare beauty product for cold weather that you can just pick up at your local grocery store.

MakeUp Eraser–The MakeUp eraser is the pink travel-sized towel that is truly magical in erasing your makeup at the end of a day.  After wetting it with warm water, it will gently remove even the toughest waterproof formulas and is gentle on your face, which our face needs in cold weather.  I’ve been taking it will me in my travel toiletry bag.

Ultra Repair Cream–After you are done washing your body in the African black soap and brown sugar shower oil, lather on some Ultra Repair Cream because it seriously does some intense body repair.  You can put it on your body and face.  Not only can you see the immediate skin results but it traps the moisture so your skin feels hydrate all day long.  If your skin is itchy this works so well!  I love how it’s thick and helps with my dry spots on the back of my arms and thighs.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream–I picked up a sample of this anti-aging day cream because I wanted to try it out before I made the big purchase.  I am getting older and am already concerned with wrinkles!  I heard good results about it and so far I am loving when I see.  It’s smooth and cream and hydrates the skin.  I feel like my skin is looking younger and healthier.  So far I have just been using in the morning time as a moisturizer.  A little bit does go a long way!

Farmacy Honey Potion— I am not much of a face mask girl, but after trying this mask I am obsessed!  My face loves it.  Made with natural ingredients like honey, it is a warming mask so it feels great during the cold months and while on gives your face warmth and a tinkling feeling.  It not just another product that enhances the skin for a younger appearance.  Of course, we love that!  But it has antibacterial properties that comes from the honey and helps clear up acne.  And can I mention that I love the packaging.

So what are some of your favorite skincare beauty products for cold weather?  I am always on the hunt!  In the meantime, if you try any of these products please let me know what you think!
