Wine-Kissed Lips From TheFind!

imageIf you love the natural, berry-kissed look your lips get after a glass of red wine, but aren€™t a huge fan of the tint staining your teeth, you may appreciate this season€™s fall-festive merlot lip colors! Rich, dark and dramatic, but not quite as vampy as red (not to mention much easier to pull off), merlot is the perfect shade when you€™re looking for a color that makes a statement without verging on distracting!

Since the hue is more red than purple and has slightly earthy undertones, the color brings out your natural flush and gives your complexion the appearance of a subtle glow. If you want to test the waters and start out sheer, try Clinique Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Merlot. If you€™re typically wary of dark lipstick and are paranoid of mid-morning creases and/or wine-colored smudges all over your teeth, try Urban Decay Lipstick in Wanted, which is known for being budge-proof!

For all you gloss fiends who don€™t want to stray from your favorite formula, try Bobbi Brown Rich Color Gloss in Merlot. And finally, if you love the wine-inspired look and aren€™t afraid of rich, opaque color, Lipstick Queen€™s Wine Sinner lipstick does the pigment true justice!

Daily Obsesh – Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

imageHere at Stylehive, we’re huge fans of Fresh products – their delectable skincare products, soaps and fragrances are both feminine and masculine, familiar, modern, and, well, fresh! Even better, the company uses natural ingredients such as sugar, soy, milk and rice in modern and innovative beauty products. Being so in love with their items, imagine how pleasantly surprised and excited I was when the gift bag at a recent party included a tube of Fresh’s Sugar Lip Treatment. This stuff is pure lip moisturizing gold! With SPF 15, the lip treatment blends reparative oils and waxes together with real sugar, which is a natural humectant. Sweet and tart blackcurrant oil, which contains plumping essential fatty acids, cushions the lips while antioxidant grape-seed polyphenols and vitamins A, C, and E provide protection from wrinkle-causing free radicals. If you think this sounds good, trust me, it tastes and feels even better! There’s the clear moisturizer version that is perfect on it’s own, or fun to add to a fave color, or try the rose or plum, which have the same great moisturizing properties but tint your lips a subtle red or burgundy. It looks like the beauty budget is about to go the way of my shoe budget, straight out the window!

Get The Winning Look From Our ‘Reality Beauties’ Poll!

imageEvery girl knows that it’s important to keep up a beauty regimen, regardless of how simple or complicated it is and reality stars are no different! Last week, we asked you which reality star beauty looked best while going to get pampered. While Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad can’t decide to get along, they did both decide to opt for a casual, laid-back look while traipsing to their fave salons.

Kristin’s knit dress looked cute and comfy and her fedora and fringe bag were super stylish, while Lauren’s wide stripes and denim cut-off shorts accessorized with dark aviators and a camel bag screamed, ‘cool Cali-girl!’. But neither of these reality girls were able to take down queen of the reality scene, Kim Kardashian. Winning by a land-slide with 71% of your votes, it’s obvious that you guys loved Kim’s style of nonchalant chic. Sleek skinny jeans look sophisticated when paired with a relaxed nude blazer and sky-high platform sandals add sex appeal.

Beauty Pick Me Up – Natural Beauty

imageYou’re already gorgeous, girl. Sure, it’s fun to try out all these vibrant colors that are so popular right now on the beauty scene, and false lashes and other add-ons really do wonders for a flirty or sensual look. But there’s something to be said for a girl with natural beauty. Save the fluttery lashes and sparkly liner for a hot night out, and go for a clean and pretty face for every day activities.

The trick to applying make-up and having it look barely there, but still providing ample coverage is to play up your natural features. Soft black and dark brown eyeliners help enhance peepers, as do flake-free mascaras and eyeshadows in a nude or natural palette (think sheer golds and chocolate browns). A pale pink lip and cheek is a great way to let your pout pop and to contour the face without being obvious and keeps the ‘au naturelle’ appeal. So put your best and most naturally beautiful face forward and click on our slideshow to see some of our favorite ‘au naturelle’ beauty picks!

Get A Naturally Bright Pout Like Kristen Stewart’s With The Season’s Hottest Lip Stains!

imageNow that summer is only a month away, we Bees are looking forward to fresh summer lip trends to carry us through the season! One thing I’ve noticed as a major makeup fiend is that heavy, waxy glosses can be a total drag on a hot day (no one likes that summer breeze blowing hair into your gloss), while matte lipsticks don’t really have that lightweight feel to them either. So what’s the happy medium? Lip stains give you that bright but sheer wash without excessive shine, like you’ve just eaten a popsicle or a bowl of fresh raspberries- without the stickiness! Plus, the lightweight formula allows you to build the intensity of the color yourself, so you can go bolder with multiple coats like Kristen Stewart’s red carpet look, or just opt for a gentle flush with a single swipe. I love marker applicators like this one from tokidoki, but potted stains are great too for that intentionally finger-applied look. Check out the slideshow for my 10 favorite lip stains!

Top 10 Spot On Summer Nail Polish Shades

imageAmong many of my best girlfriends (including my Stylehive partners in crime), there’s been a definite increase in nail polish purchases. With nail polishes becoming just as coveted as it-bags, it’s easy to buy whatever color strikes your fancy without breaking the bank. But with all the colors out there from the palest pink to the darkest blue, it’s hard to choose! I’ve got you covered with some of the top trends this summer for nails. The looks you want to go for when shopping are: bright neons, pretty pastels, and everyday neutrals. For a neon color, check out Radioactive Nail Polish from Pop Beauty for a crazy bright green that will definitely capture attention. For an everyday nail color, I like a basic taupe like the butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Yummy Mummy which you can probably wear to even the strictest of work places. For more nail polish colors fit for summer, take a look at my slideshow!
