Get the Most Kissable Lips for Valentine's Day





Hearts, flowers and chocolate truffles are covering the windows as well as the counter space on many of your favorite local stores - this can only mean one thing, Valentine's Day is soon approaching! With the most romantic day of the year getting closer and closer, why would you not be ready to smooch that special someone this year? Even if you're single, it doesn't hurt to dress up your lips for perhaps a surprise kiss from that secret admirer or crush of yours. Let's get started. Take a look at a few of our favorite products that will help make your lips more kissable than ever.


For Moisturized Lips:  Holika Holika Real Butter Lip Balm ($12)
The number one essential for a perfect kiss are hydrated lips. The butter effect will allow you to a smooth and soft finish as it will essentially remove any dried cracks and harshness on your lips. Choose one with a soft color for that extra boost in your pout and throw in your purse to  dab onto your lips for a sweet and soft yet natural pout throughout the night.


 
For Soft Lips Tonymoly: Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub ($15)
What's worse than dry and flaky lips on a special night out? Using a lip scrub the night before the big day will help to exfoliate your lips and remove any dead skin left behind. This lip scrub contains Jojoba and Macadamia oil, this will moisturize your lips and give them a glistening shine. A perfect product in a smoochin' lips shape to get into the mood for V-Day.

 

We are in love with this lipstick for a reason - its amazing glossy yet lipstick-like formula and it's irresistible heart-shaped tube. Glossy lips give the appearance of a fuller mouth. Working more like a lipstick, the deep bold red is ideal for a classic look, and its smooth formula isn’t too sticky.



For Anyone: Lioele Essential Donut Glo-Stick (Reg. $15 | SALE until Feb 16 for $9)

For moisture, color, and softness look no further than this lipstick. This formula leaves your lips velvety smooth with its inner balm-like core (hence, "Donut" in the name) , and it’s available in five different shades including its number 1 seller, Milky Pink and Blossom Red. Whether you will be using this or not for Valentine's Day, we suggest you stock up on them as they are the featured Deal of the Week for only the week of February 9-16, 2013!




If you want your lips to really stand out and steal the spotlight this year, a must-have is a lip liner to define your smile and create the perfect lip shape. A liner will not only help to recreate a fuller lip and precisely defined Cupid's Bow (how ironic, right?), it will also stop your lip color from running, fading or smudging. Find the liner in the color of your main lip product and see the difference.


For Maintenance-Free Lips: Holika Holika: Holy Berry Tint ($14)

Who doesn’t love a red lip for Valentine’s Day? Well, maybe your sweetheart who has red lipstick smeared across the face. It may look classic, but red lipstick can be a disaster waiting to happen. Consider a lip stain instead. The one-time easy application lasts for hours, but will still come off easily with any form of makeup removal. These lip tints will not budge even after a passionate Valentine's smooch or a bite of your romantic dinner.

For Irresistibly Kissable Lips:  Holika Holika: Honey Bouquet Lips ($13)

What's more attractive than shiny, sweet-scented soft feminine lips? Entice your sweetheart with a sweet-scent of honey while nourishing your lips and looking fabulous with a great sheen. Add a gloss to your purse or clutch and complete your look for the night. Just a few strokes is all it takes.




Have a Happy Valentine's Day, Pretty&Cuties! <3
