Glossy

These are my personal favorite lip glosses that you can ealy find at any drugstore or shopping center.

Maybelline Shine Seduction Glossy Lip Color is a smooth, shiny lip gloss. It comes in over a dozen shades and cost around $7-8. It comes as a silver tube with a twist dial bottom. You twist the bottom to push the gloss up the tube and out to the tip. Depending on the shade you chose you can have a very nice, sheer color for your lips that make them feel moist.

Cover Girl Wet Slick AmazeMint is super shiny, non sticky, mint scent and flavored lip gloss. CoverGirl worked with Crest to get that minty taste to it. It come in over a dozen colors for around $5-6. It is a tube that uses a wand for application. I like this lip gloss but out of the four this is the most sheer & shortest lasting. You have to constantly reapply it. They don't ever last long for me because I have to use it to much. I go through these quick.

Out of the four, Revlon ColorStay Mineral Collection is the longest wearing lip gloss. It's thick then the Maybelline & CoverGirl glosses. It cost around $7-8 and come in dozen colors. It comes in a hour glass shaped tube and uses a wand for application. It's almost a liquid lipstick because of the coverage it can give you but still gives you that shine.

Burt's Bees Super Shiny Lip Gloss is a super shiny fruit flavored lip gloss. They only make 4 Colors for $7 each. It comes in a small squeeze tube. What makes this gloss different is it's natural ingredients and has citrus flavor to it. It's very smooth and gives you a sheer tinted cover. Because of the natural oils in it, it keeps your lips extra soft. It will help your lips while giving you that shine.

Burt's Bees: Hands & Feet

Cold weather is a killer to the extreamities.  Sometimes I worry more about taking care about the rest of my body I tend to forget about my hands & feet.  Which is really bad because they're sensitive and dry and crack easily.  My remady for them has been Burt's Bees.  I've know of Burt's Bees for year when you could only find them at little specialty shops that only sold organic & natural items.  Now they have expanded, are more globe and you can find them almost anywhere.  I buy my Burt's Bees products at Target.  Anyways... I love Burt's Bees because all their products are made with natural ingredients, always  smell great, and simply work.  

For my hands I use Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme.  It is a white & thick cream that apply's clear but never greasy .  It comes in a small 2 oz. jar.  A jar sells for around $9.  Even though it's a small jar the products goes a long way.  You won't need to use a lot of it when you apply it.    You can apply it all over your hand for that much need mositure.  You would have to wipe you're palms after application because the creme does not dry like a lotion and will stay on your hands for a while.  For extra hand thearpy I apply the creme before going to bed and use a moisturizing glove while I sleep.  The next morning my hand come out feeling very soft.

For my feet I use Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme.  It's a thick clear color creme that really does smell like coconuts.  It's not as thick as the hand creme but just as effective.  It comes in a 4.34 oz. tube and sells for about $9.  For that extra foot thearapy; before bed soak your feet in warm water for a few mintues, afterwards apply the foot creme, and then wear a cotton sock overnight.  Your feet will feel like new in the morning.  

You can't forget your cuticles so I use Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme.  If your cuticle become dry & crack this product is a must have.  It a thick balm that comes in a .60 oz. tin jar and cost around $6.  You can use it on your fingers and toes along with the hand and foot cremes.
