20 Products for Soft and Kissable Valentine's Day Lips

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday February 9, 2012

Whether or not you already have a valentine this holiday, you've got to be prepared for any kisses coming your way. This means you've got to have a smooth, soft and kissable pucker not matter the time or day!

Getting that perfect pout is easy with these simple steps and products you'll need to get your smoocher on!

Step 1: Exfoliate

First things first: scrub and exfoliate your lips to remove any dead and peeling skin. (Hint: try our DIY lip scrub here). Use your fingers or an old toothbrush with the scrub when applying the product and rub gently in a circular pattern.

Prods to Try:
1. Elizabeth Grant: The Socializer Can You Keep A Secret? Lip Exfoiliator and Conditioning Balm (C$38.00)
2. Clarins Extra-Firming Lip & Contour Gentle Exfoliator (C$31.00)
3. Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish (US$22.50)
4. Bite Fruit Lip Scrub (US$18.00)
5. Lush Lip Scrub (C$8.00)

Step 2: Moisturize

After the scrub, use a lip balm to seal in your lip's natural moisture. This is especially important overnight!

Prods to Try:
1. Eos Organic Sphere Lip Balm (US$3.00)
2. Korres Lip Butter (US$9.00)
3. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm (C$4.00)
4. Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Balm (C$5.99)
5. The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm (C$6.00)

Step 3: Colour and Gloss

Because lipsticks can be drying, we suggest applying over balm or choose a lipstick with extra moisturizing ingredients.

Prods to Try:
1. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (C$8.00)
2. Cargo Lip Gloss Quad (US$24.00)
3. Principessa Pinkini Lip Gloss (C$16.00)
4. Soap & Glory Super Colour Sexy Mother Pucker Plumping Gloss (C$15.00)
5. NYX Roundcase Lipstick (C$4.99)

I really like it for those times when my lips start to flake and no matter how much balm I put on, it doesn't seem to go away. It really just gets rid of all that yucky stuff. I recommend using it with an old tooth brush to exfoiliate and then rinsing off and lathering on a thick balm or just vaseline. Also- just using sugar and an oil will work just fine, it's a lot cheaper in the long run! Check out the DIY article for that. If you find you need more scrub action, just add more sugar to your mixture!
