Happy Holidays, Beauties!

Days of get together is slowly coming to an end.
A new year shall come and make way for more adventures and opportunities.
Enlightened by the year that has passed, armed by the trials and sufferings, we face 2010 with more confidence, lesser apprehensions and more spunk.
Carpe Diem, an adage old but couldn't be more apt for the season.
Embrace the challenge, 2010 is our year!

Claim it and it's yours!


much love,
Shen

The description is right on the dot. I love my Lip Tars. Everyone should have at least one Lip Tar in their stash. The colors are just insanely pigmented that a small drop could color two lips. Now I find myself making excuses to use Lip Tars. And the fact that they are mixable are just icing on the cherry. The minty scent is just addicting but not too strong either. I like it doesn't smell chemically as it is 100% Vegan. :)

Enough gibber-gabber.. here are the major haul:

swatched on my steel palette.

swatches of 8 ouf 10 Lip Tars I have. Left out only feathered (white) and clear.








tarred with clear on top


Tips and Tricks:
1. Condition lips as always.
2. Use lip liner to avoid bleeding since the Lip Tars are more liquid that regular lipstick.
3. Use sparingly.
4. Apply with lip brush and not directly from the tube.

Here are some photos of me wearing lip tars.
