Ideal Valentine’s Day Gift! TINte Cosmetics Shimmer and Shine Box

Open this gorgeous pink box by TINte Cosmetics, and you’ll see nestled in white satin a Flavored Lip Shine in Haute Chocolate (a personal favorite- this gloss actually smells like a steaming mug of hot chocolate), Moisturizing Lip Color in Peppermint (this gloss is vintage styled, in an adorable metal tin that slides open and reveals a lush gorgeous red shade) and Shimmering Face Pearls in Vanilla Sky (ideal for highlighting the cheekbones, or adding glimmer to your favorite gloss). The included petite shadow/lip brush makes the set complete.

When I was about 14, my parents replaced my usual Easter Basket with an Obsession perfume gift set. Ever the beauty addict, I was naturally thrilled with this very chic and very grown-up gift. When I opened the TINte Shimmer and Shine Box, I immediately thought it would make such a fantastic surprise for a young woman who expects nothing the typical box of chocolate candy for Valentine’s Day.

Benefit Cosmetics Silky Finish Lipstick

During the holiday season, my Mom was describing her nightmarishly dry cross-country flight. For whatever reason, the climate in the cabin was incredibly arid, causing passengers to frequently request water from the flight attendants and compulsively apply lip balm. Curious about what product Mom turned to for soothing her tortured lips, I asked if she carried a lip balm. She said no… she instead leaned on an incredibly moisturizing, emollient lipstick that I had given her as a gift. Mom pulled a long, sleek black lipstick case from her bag that I recognized immediately as lipstick from Benefit.

By strange coincidence, it just so happened I had treated myself to a tube of this lipstick only weeks before. The shade Rocket Pop is a matches-with-anything neutral tone that can be worn in any season. Benefit’s Silky Finish Lipstick also happens to moisturize extremely well, making it the perfect choice for anyone who needs her lipstick to multi-task… Adding color to her lips while eliminating dryness.

Benefit Cosmetics Silky Finish Lipstick is available in 24 different shades, ranging from racy red to sheer pink, and retails for $16 st Benefit Cosmetics.

Kitten Vixen Cosmetics “Put Your Lips Together” Gloss

Kitten Vixen Cosmetics Put Your Lips Together Peach Provocateur and Tickled Pink, Beauty Blog Discount Code Kitten Vixen Cosmetics has just introduced two new shades of gloss for their "Put Your Lips Together" collection– Peach Provocateur and Tickled Pink.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to sample these glosses as my personal introduction to the Kitten Vixen brand. Right off the bat, I had to admit the extreme sparkle of Peach Provocateur does indeed mimic the look of juice-coated lips that have just indulged in a juicy bite of ripe peach. Peach Provocateur provides a barely-there peach color, combined with an in-your-face shimmer and shine that can not be ignored!

Tickled Pink is a bit more opaque in color. This gloss is a subtle shade of bubblegum pink. Flecks of pearl mixed into the gloss create the illusion of fuller lips! The hint of pink this gloss imparts is very girlish and beautiful.

All of the colors in the "Put Your Lips Together" collection are infused with organic flavoring, leaving an out-of-this-world scent on your lips! These glosses are also extremely moisturizing– my lips felt very soft when the gloss wore off. An added bonus for the winter months!

Kitten Vixen "Put Your Lips Together" glosses retail for $16 at the Kitten Vixen’s Website. But right now Raging Rouge readers can score them for 25% off!
