city girl in me lip bomb

name: nicole
internet home: city girl in me
number of products: 8
she says: i’m embarrassed to say this was not staged. i actually had 8 lip products stuffed in my little SJ bag.
the bomb: 

revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in crush, $7.49
bobbi brown rich color gloss in dusty rose, $24
bobbi brown creamy color for lips and cheeks, $20
covergirl lip perfection lipstick in rush, $6.99
bite beauty high pigment matte pencil in pomegranate, $24

nicole and i met at the ifb conference in 2012 and it was beauty love at first sight. she is a super talented make up artist (she did my face for my head shots that you see around the blog) and an all around sweet-as-sugar girl. nicole’s beauty expertise comes through clearly through her #lipbomb! like most of you, we definitely share an affinity for the three b’s: bobbi brown, bite, and burt’s bees. i miss her terribly since she and her hubby made the move back to nyc, but i’m happy to say that we keep in touch through the ‘net and have even managed to connect in the big city on one of my many business trips. i highly recommend that you take a journey over to nicole’s blog for a full dose of beauty and fashion goodness!

i love seeing your #lipbombs, so please keep sending them to theglossarie@gmail.com.

bite beauty honey lip lacquer

i can get behind anything that the bite beauty team puts out. i love that the line is dedicated exclusively to lips and more importantly, i love that they do lips so well. they’ve already got me covered with a go-to lipstick, balm, and tint - now i can add the perfect gloss to my collection.

the problem with lip gloss in general is that while it gives a great finish, most of them pack no punch in the staying power department, but thanks to the addition of manuka honey, bite’s gloss isn’t going anywhere. your lips will feel the difference right away and you’ll notice the way that this stuff grips on to them (yet somehow does not feel sticky), locking in moisture. you get balm-like feel, glossy look, and a stain-like finish with none of that tacky weirdness.

bite really nailed it with these lovelies – and their glass tubes make them look like a million bucks. the wet look lasts for a couple of hours and even as the shine dulls down, you’re left with a good stain-y pop of color so that there’s less need for touch up – highly impressive performance from an all natural product.

bite beauty honey lip lacquer is available at sephora for $24.

korres lip butter in mango, $12

bite beauty luminous creme lipstick in fig, $24

may bag + balm

may 2012 bag + balm
*     *     *
*     *     *

bag: c. wonder small floral pouch, $28

balm: bite beauty spf 15 sheer balm, $19

how cute is the nylon pouch from c. wonder? i love the shiny gold hardware and the matching floral lining. they come in five sizes and a variety of colors and prints making them uber pretty while being perfectly practical. (if you’re in the new york area, you likely already know the phenomenon that is christopher burch’s delightful shopping experience. if you’re not in the ny area, you can partake in all of the pleasures this spirited collection offers online.)

as for the balm, i’m having a moment with bite beauty as you know from this post. this balm has prime real estate on my bedside table and i have not gone a night without wearing it to bed sine it arrived on my doorstep. it has just the right balance between tug and glide when you apply it (lip balm connoisseurs will totally know what i mean by this – you don’t want a balm to be too slippy or too grippy) and feels lovely on the lips. the cream shade is a tender, nude pink, depositing nearly no color but refreshing my mouth in the best possible way.

ps – we’re down to the wire! i would love your continued votes and support as we round out the final days of the allure beauty blogger of the year competition :)
