It's so important to prep your lips before you apply lipstick because it just makes your lipstick look 10 times better. So if I am going out or whenever I actually have time and am not rushing out attempting to catch the tube on time , I follow these steps :
1. Scrub my lips : I love using the Lush bubblegum scrub ; it keeps my lips from looking flaky especially during the winter . My lips are defiantly smoother and more pumped after scrubbing them.
2. Lip balm :After scrubbing my lips (I know it sounds a bit harsh) I apply lip balm - I use the aloe vera from Dr organics (yet it my favourite skin care brand at the moment) . It makes sure that your lips are not dry.
3. Apply concealer to my lips :This is a really important step if you want your lipstick to last and it makes the lipstick look like its actual colour on your lips as its not effected by your natural lip colour.
4. Lipstick & lip gloss : Now it's time to apply your lipstick and then I like to add a layer of lip gloss over it because well it just looks better and helps the colour stay on your lips for longer , its like your own protective layer!
So those are my 4 steps to how I prep my skin for my lipstick ! I would not scrub my lips every day because I have sensitive skin and my lips would then become red and inflamed so try and scrub your lips 3 - 4 times a week only.
What is your favourite lip stick ?

Thank you for this! I have sensitive lips that often get chapped because I live in Canada. I enjoyed reading your post :)
