TheHigherGloss

Although I normally stick faithfully to tried and tested products that I know work for me, I love to experiment – just to make sure that I am not missing out. In the warmer summer months my aim is to look fresh and pulled together, leaving a more ‘made-up’ look for cooler weather.

This little lip balm by Winky Lux is just too good to pass over. The bright fuchsia and gold bullet packaging is both eye-catching and tactile. The clear balm inside is enhanced with a tiny flower suspended within the balm. The product not only looks summery and beautiful, but glides on smoothly with a slight hint of coconut, which is always appropriate in the summertime. The balm reacts with your own pH level and will look slightly different on each individual. The look is ultimately natural, smoothing and moisturising – perfect for a clean, fresh finish.

I feel it is important to keep experimenting with new products. Sometimes it is easy to become stuck in a rut –  something which can be very ageing. With so many advancements in science and technology connected to the cosmetic industry, it would be mad not to keep up-to-date. Personally, my aim is to look healthy and groomed, not made-up. Texture is as important as colour, and I feel that nowadays there is so much on offer that there is no reason to settle for second best.

We all return to products that make us feel comfortable and secure, knowing that we have found a perfect match, but adding to this arsenal is what keeps things looking fresh and new. I will keep you updated with my latest finds.
