I don’t know about you, but I have about 7 different lip products in my purse at any given time. We have different lip products for different occasions, different colours for different outfits, and we always have our favourite! To make the cut as our favourite it has to have a balance of several different criteria… it’s not easy being a lipstick today, we women expect a lot from them! They have to have the perfect balance of shine and shimmer – but not too much, they have to be moisturizing – but not sticky, and long-wearing – but not drying. They also have to be easy to apply, and the packaging is eye-catching. It has to be that perfect shade of pink, red, or maybe you just like a hint of beige…
After spending a few days in New Orleans at the Educator Training with Mirabella, I have a new found appreciation for the thought, the energy and the technology that goes into creating your perfect lip colour! I am so excited I wanted to share some exciting news in the world of lip colours for all us Mirabella Makeup lovers!
The new line of lip products from Mirabella in 2014:
Colour Shine – Comes in 5 different beautiful bright shades, in a clear base so it gives a translucent coverage, or can be worn over top of another colour to add shine. Vitamins C and E and Peppermint leave lips feeling hydrated and refreshed. New light reflective package gives it a luxe feeling and the custom doe foot applicator delivers the perfect amount of colour for a smooth and easy application.
Colour Luxe – Mirabella brought this lip gloss out about 2 years ago with all kinds of exciting innovation! The same luxe packaging and custom applicator as the new Colour Shine lip gloss but with 3-dimensional shimmer. A unique film-former makes this gloss long-wearing and transfer resistant. A patented anti-aging peptide restores lip tissue, boosts collagen, keeps lips moisturized and increases volume. This formula is packed with good-for-you ingredients like Vitamins A, C and E, Pomegranate Extract (anti-oxidants), Monoi de Tahiti (hydrating), and Jojoba Oil (conditioning). Colour Luxe takes lip gloss to a whole new level of colour, purity, brightness and dimensionality.
Velvet Lip Pencil – These creamy, moisturizing lip pencils have a fluid-like texture that glides on to create a satin finish of intense, long-wearing colour in 6 bold colours. Contains hydrating and anti-oxidant ingredients Pomegranate Extract, Vitamins C and E, and new Berry Flux Vita to preserve lip suppleness, elasticity and tone.
NEW Colour Vinyl Lipstick – Available March 2014!
Full coverage lipstick meets Super Shine Technology. This exclusive gel formula stays moist and elastic, maintaining that just applied look and feel for up to 10 hours! This highly pigmented formulation is moisturizing and nourishing with new Berry Flux Vita, Litchi Chinensis Fruit Extract, Argan Oil, Olive Fruit Extract and Safflower Seed Oil. Plus, the new, breakthrough smaller bullet is designed to conform to the lip perfectly to prevent smudging, feathering and over-application.
Applied at 10:30 am. “I See Violets” Colour Vinyl Lipstick
8:30pm (that’s 10 hours later!), after ONE touch-up following lunch. That pigment is holding on strong!
