POUT WITH A PURPOSE!



On Friday, I was introduced to a really magnificent product - 2LoveMyLips lip gloss. I don't usually get crazy about lip gloss, because I have so many different types, colours, brands, textures that I'm bored of it. Kind of. Ok, who am I kidding, we don't get bored of lip gloss! But this one really excites me!


With the change in season, and my reluctance to drink (as much) water in this cold weather, my lips have become somewhat dehydrated and therefore started peeling and become slightly cracked over the last couple of weeks. Very sexy, I know. This is one of the worst things to conceal/hide when applying makeup to go out. Even though I applied lip-ice religiously and applied another well-known brand moisturizer morning and night, and although this eased the discomfort of my dry lips, it didn't appear any better.


After the first application of 2LoveMyLips (ok, after my fifth application, only because I kept removing it so I could try all 5 colours, including clear, to find my match. Haha) I could feel and see the difference within a minute or two. And what makes it even better is that it's multi-purpose.
Not only is it plumping and breath-freshening, I also find it incredibly moisturizing. It contains methyl salicylate - a natural flavouring and fragrancing agent commonly extracted from the twigs of Sweet Birch and Eastern Teaberrywhich creates a lovely minty scent (and taste) and a tingly feeling on your lips, and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) which provides beneficial antioxidant and skin conditioning effects.



I love that it comes in a slim tube for convenience and it's not unnecessarily sticky like most of the other lip glosses that are currently on the market. I also like that you can determine how intense you'd like the colour to be. You can apply very little and have that slightly-tinted-lip-balm look, or you can increase the application and have an intense-colour-high-gloss look, and everything in between. Like I said, multi-purpose.



Each lip gloss comes with a drink spike detector kit containing 2 tester strips.

The drink spike detector kits are also packaged in packs of 5 and 10, available to purchase. So take care when you’re out and keep your tester strip with you for when you have that niggling, edgy feeling of uncertainty.

Each 2LoveMyLips lip gloss also includes a guide to staying safe, how the drink spike detector kit works and lists the soft and hard drinks the test will work on.



“Look gorgeous, stay safe!”
