Beauty Crown Wk3: Lip and Nail Product Faves





The Beauty Crown Awards are a yearly favorites collaborative effort including beauty bloggers around the globe.  The Beauty Crown Awards were created by Lily from Beauty with Lily Liz from My Pretty Obsessions, Jackie from Five Two Certified, and Shalunya from Shalunya & Boyet. We felt that a collaborative effort from a large number of beauty bloggers would be much more interesting to our readers and would garner more attention. The Beauty Crown Awards are a 5 week event with each week covering types of products.





Week 3 - Lip & Nail Products - Dec 16 - Dec 22, 2013

Week 4 - Eye & Misc Products - Dec 23 - Dec 29, 2013

Week 5 - Facial Care Products & Tools - Dec 30 - Jan 4, 2014




Week 3 of the Beauty Crown Awards covers Lip & Nail Products. Below are my Week 3 selections:



LIPS

Lipliner
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains
Before I fell in love with Jordana's lipliners these were the closest to a lip liner I have in my make-up collection. I love how I just trace my lips with these and it leaves a nice stain on the lips! It's pretty moisturizing and has that nice minty feel when I apply it on.

Lipstick
Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Venom (duh!)
If you have been reading my blog around mid-month of this year I fell in-love with this lipstick! Thanks to Liz of My Pretty Obsessions for introducing me to Venom =)
The only lipstick I have found (besides Milani ColorStatement lipsticks) that are non-drying, moisturizing and true to color!


Gloss
Juice Beauty lip gloss
One of the very few glosses I have finished! I actually used this like a balm since its just so moisturizing on the lips with no stickiness at all!


bareMinerals Moxie lip glosses
I bought this set from QVC and I love how this has a minty feel on my lips when I apply it on. Not very sticky either on the lips and pretty moisturizing like a balm as well. I have been rotating all 4 glosses since I got them in Spring this year.


Tinted Lip Balm
fresh Sugar lip treatments
I love the whole line of Fresh's Sugar Lip Products!!! I would collect all the shades but they are a bit pricey. These lip balms are very pigmented that when I put this on I don't really need to carry any other lip products with me as it gives a nice tint on my lips already. It's super moisturizing too! 


Lip Treatment
The best lip treatment I have found is from this brand as well which is there Advanced Therapy Lip balm. I was putting this on every night and the next day my lips just feels so soft and plump, and I noticed after I finished this sample size balm my lips were never the same again. I am using a different lip balm at night now but it is not as super hydrating as this one. 


NAILS

Polish
butter London in Yummy Mummy
In between the brights and dark polishes and nail arts I do, when I need a break from all the colors and want to just wear a nice nude shade, I grab this polish. I like how it has tiny gold sparkles in it so it is not flat looking on my nails so it's still not a boring looking polish for me hehehehe!

Basecoat
Nailtini Simple Syrup Base Coat
This has been the best base coat I have used. It goes on so smooth and it does keep my polish longer! The only chipping I get is from the tips of my nails but that's because I did not apply a good top coat on my tips. Besides that I have no other chipping problem. I can't say the same thing with the top coat as it is too sticky for my liking.

Topcoat
Wet n' Wild Fergie Top Coat
This is the only top coat I have used so far that has not bubbled up on me! I am going through different top coat polishes right now since I almost finished this bottle already but for my 2013 fave top coat, this takes the crown!

Treatment
Acquarella Conditioner
I received this nail conditioner as part of my Nail Detox Kit when I was subscribed to Beauty Army Box. You can read more about the whole kit review, here



And those are my lip and nail product winners for 2013! Looking back to all the products I have used, I do miss using my Fresh Advanced Therapy lip treatment.
