Top Four 'Can't Live Without' Lip Products

Lipsticks, tints and glosses are all well and good, but if you're lips aren't in tip top condition you won't get the best out of them. Many of us suffer from chapped, dry, flaking lips and having just experienced winter in Australia I know that feeling all too well. While chapped lips are ridiculously annoying and uncomfortable, they also have the ability to make you love your lipstick a little less. As disgusting as it sounds, products have a tendency to cake around dry areas of skin and often don't look as luscious as you first hoped. Don't despair though, there are a whole heap of products on the market to help combat uncomfortable chapped lips that won't cost you an arm and a leg. So to find out how to get that $10 Rimmel looking a little more like a $50 Chanel, keep on reading. 

Let's Talk About Face Masks...

There's nothing better than a good, purifying face mask in my opinion.  Being a slight (massive) skin care obsessor, I love skin care and all skin products but there's just something about face masks that makes them all the more exciting to use. Maybe it's the quick results they bring, the fact that you can actually feel them working, or the care free factor - just slap one on for 10-15 minutes and bam you're done.  Not only are they great, but you can make them yourself. This post is all about the pre-made, buy them in a pot/tube/bottle kinda ones though, so behold, here are my top five that have been known to work wonders for my skin. Unfortunately I only have one of these on hand at the moment, but I certainly know what I'll be picking up next time I'm in Melbourne. 

My Holy Grail Skincare BRAND?

Ahhh Kiehl's, my one true love. I've struggled with a multitude of skin issues for the longest time - dry skin, combination skin, oily skin, blemishes, you name it, my skin has been there! Because of this, I've realised the importance of using quality products on your skin that actually work. While skincare products from the drugstore are far nicer on the wallet, those products often don't offer the benefits that products from higher end brands do. For the past couple years I've been back and forth, left right and centre searching for and trying products that would guarantee me better skin.  A couple of months ago late one night whilst waiting for an 11pm Dubai bound flight in the Tullamarine airport, curiosity got the better of me.  I finally bit the bullet and purchased some Kiehl's products and I'm yet to look back. Here are my picks from the Kiehl's line up.
