STEP 1: rid your lips of unwanted dryness and flakes with Sara Happ’s The Lip Scrub

STEP 2: prep your lips for lipstick with Sara’s ultra-hydrating The Lip Slip Lip Balm

STEP 3: apply your favorite lipstick

STEP 4: top it off with a shine enhancing gloss

STEP 1: The Lip Scrub
Sara Happ’s The Lip Scrub ($24) eliminates dry, flaky skin leaving lips ridiculously soft and supple. All Lip Scrubs come packed with food-grade essential oils (like Grape seed oil, Sweet almond oil, Jojoba), which suspend sugar crystals to ensure lips are hydrated while being gently yet effectively exfoliated. Application: Massage a generous amount onto lips using a firm, circular motion. Wipe away with a tissue.

Flavors:
· Vanilla Bean – The first flavor Sara whipped up. A comfy delight, like your favorite pair of jeans.

· Brown Sugar – The go-to for those who are finicky about fragrance. Simple, straightforward. A classic.

· Crème Brûlée – Sara’s favorite dessert made into her favorite product. Hints of warm, burnt vanilla, the lightest creamy caramel. Pastry chefs rejoice.

· Peppermint – Perfect to use in the morning, post-coffee. A wake-up call for your lips.

· Sparkling Pink Grapefruit – Designed to be a “true” grapefruit in every way. Why mess with something nature made so beautifully?

· Sparkling Peach – Bellini meets lip treatment. Not too sweet, not too tangy… just the way we like our favorite cocktail. Cheers!

· Blood Orange and Clementine limited edition to Nordstrom:

· Confetti Cake – No need to wait for your birthday. We believe you should celebrate in little ways, every day. (Limited Edition)

· (NEW!) Peony – In our hometown, Los Angeles, these beauties come but once a year. Sugared with just a hint of floral. Our most exquisite flavor to date. (Limited Edition)

Turning on the Color!!

The key element to National Lipstick Day is clearly the color (Oxymoron intended). So why not feature some crazy great colors– like those of Charlotte Tilbury and Butter London! Choosing a lipcolor is about experimentation. You want to find either your go-to color -which is your default color that you wind up wearing virtually every day and have used up and replaced. (That’s happened to me with 3 different lip colors in 3 different brands.) Given that I am a girl who loves color, I have a drawer or two full of lip colors, pencils, glosses and stains in an array of colors.

Red, pink, plum, nude – whether you have a go-to shade or like to experiment, we all know that lipstick has a transformative power. You might look pale or washed out– add lipstick and suddenly you look sensational. Aside from pulling together a look, lipstick makes us feel more confident, and conveys our style to make us feel more like ourselves. Recent studies have even shown that lipstick can positively impact how you are perceived by others, particularly at work and by potential companions.

According to Charlotte herself, this is a lipstick for every woman to fall in love with. The unique formula features seed extracts from ‘The Lipstick Tree,’ a rare, exotic tree with nurturing and protective properties were originally discovered by Native American women who used the seeds to paint and protect their lips, since it contains an anti-oxidant that naturally protects lips from UV damage and external pollution, leaving lips cashmere-soft and irresistible. With a wide range of ten ultra-luxe shades, these lipsticks are blended with special waxes and clever light-diffusing pigments for pert, full-bodied, ultra-brilliant lips that are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Charlotte gives us a sneak-peek at the Matte Revolution Lipstick Collection that will be launching in September with these two special-edition Charlotte Tilbury X Norman Parkinson lipsticks in 1975 Red and Miss Kensington. This unique formula is enriched with new-generation 3D glowing pigments for lips that look lit-from-within and an optical ‘matte-trick’ to create the appearance of wider, fuller lips. Matte Revolution does not dry the lips and stays put. It has the feel of a nourishing balm but is power-packed with pigments for a high-performance finish that enables you to build up colour from a stain to a full block of pigment.

The lipstick is subtly scented with creamy vanilla.

I am not suggesting that these are the only lines to try. Far from it, I am an equal-opportunity cosmetic shopper. Find colors you like and test drive them from drugstore to specialty store brands. You will find several you like in colors that work for you.
