Lips Beauty Tip

Making gloss last



Making gloss lastDo you find that you're applying lip gloss every 20 minutes? Newsflash: you CAN make that gloss stick around. Start with a lip pencil that matches your natural lip color, then apply a layer of waxy lip balm such as Chap Stick (which forms a smooth, water-resistant base). Proceed with a dab of your favorite gloss and smile away!

I I apply chapstick before and it doesn't work but lip liner does. Applying chapstick makes your lips look smoother though.

I would like to try this tip, but is chap stick. I don't think it's available in South Africa. If not what is its equivalent

You don't have chap stick or any type of moisturizing lip balm? You could probably use vaseline on your lips which is a petroleum jelly.

for ayaz97::
do you have some kind of 'cheap store'? if yes, buy one of those cheapy winnie-the-pooh,the pricesees or whatever 'cartoon' lip gloss, it does the same thing.

for Ayaz97, Chapstick is a waxy substance that you use to sooth chapped lips (lips that are dry and cracking)Do you have an equivalently there in South Africa? Do you know someone in the US that get some to you. I love it.

haha sweet. i applyed it at like 435 and then it lastest a real long time. thats pretty entene. thanks for the tip ya'll


wellreservedlady wrote: Thu, 2007-12-13 12:17

Ladie, Ladie, Ladies... If you already know the tip or if you feel it "Stupid", you new the title of the tip prior to you clicking the bar to obtain information- So, what does that make you if the tip is "Stupid"? I believe this site is designed for you to choose which tip you need more information on and if you choose it, the instructions are given as if "You don't know how to"...
Note: This comment is for those with the very imature comments. Oh and Ms. mjforever, please proof-read. How are you going to use a word like "entene" and misspell "applied and lasts"-

Give me a break, I think this is a great tip for those who don't know. Thanks


wellreservedlady wrote: Thu, 2007-12-13 12:19

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask what is entene?

okay ill try dat


dlahlouh wrote: Sat, 2007-12-22 23:03

now not everyone might like the feeling of this on their lips but if you put concealer.. the facial stuff (any cheap brand) on your lips before putting lipstick or lip gloss, it makes it last for hours
