Current Obsession: Orange Lips!

Orange is a colour often passed over  in favour of pinks or reds when it comes to lipstick, but as far as I'm concerned this underrated hue deserves far more attention than it gets. Worn bold and bright for a standout look or in a subtler colour for a more muted pout, there's an orange shade for every occasion, skin tone, and season. Orange lipsticks cover the gamut from coral to peach to brick red, so there's truly something for everyone.

From left to right:

Aya lipstick in Just Peachy: This milky peach tone is perfect for those who are a little more faint of heart, or for mixing with bolder shades to make a more wearable colour. For more info, check out my review on this product.

LUSH Emotional Brilliance lipstick in Strong: This shade suites its name. Incredibly bold and long lasting, this shade layers beautifully with Just Peachy for a more toned down look, or makes an unmissable statement when worn on its own.

Ilia lip conditioner in Voila: This shade is the perfect happy medium between the orange and pink tones that make up its coral shade. Because of its sheer formulation, this is a wonderfully easy to wear colour in the perfect hue for summer. Voila also happens to be a limited edition, so be sure to snap it up while you can.

Are you going to take the orange plunge this summer? What are your current beauty obsessions? Let me know!

The Very Best...

Lip Balm!

Converting to natural beauty is often an exercise in trial and error. Since transitioning my collection, I've definitely purchased my fair share of products that don't do what they should. But every once in a while I'll come across something so utterly magnificent, it needs to be shared. Today's spotlight product is a beauty essential: Lip balm. But not just any lip balm, the lip balm. 

Epic Blend offers gluten free, cruelty free, vegetarian, all natural lip balms that moisturize and nourish your lips like nothing else out there. This is one brand that truly lives up to their name. 

If you're anything like me, you're forever buying (and subsequently losing) lip balms so you have at least one on hand at all times: in your purse, beside your bed, in your pocket. Chapped lips are the enemy and I know I, for one, am always armed against them.  My collection used to be a hodge podge of brands, but since discovering Epic Blend at a local health food store, I've embarked upon a monogamous lip balm relationship, and I'm not looking back.

On top of their other benefits, Epic Blend lip balms are incredibly comfortable to wear, sinking easily into your lips instead of sitting on top of them. The brand offers a wide range of natural scents for whatever tickles your fancy. My current faves are citrus and cherry, but whatever you choose, you really can't go wrong.

So for all you lip balm junkies out there, I highly recommend giving Epic Blend a try. If you can't find them at your local health food store, the balms also available for purchase through the Epic Blend website. So my natural beauties, go forth and moisturize!
