Lip Lock


Recently, BeansTalk puckered up with von Natur’s Colours, Lip Stains, and Lip Shimmers. Our friends at von Natur offer these three versatile products for the woman who may want to create different lip effects throughout the day and into the evening. As any make up artist will tell you, potted lip colors can be applied with a brush or fingertip; however, this BeansTalk staffer feels that much greater precision and a variety of effects can be achieved with a brush… and both can be easily tucked into a small purse. So, although some of the von Natur products appear to be more opaque or sheer, light or heavy brush applications gave us greater range.

Details:
von Natur’s Lip Colours are all natural, opaque, creamy, long lasting, and available in 5 shades: Cayenne, Curry, Saffron, Cinnamon, Nutmeg. BeansTalk found these colors to be earthy and pretty. ($16.00 4g)

von Natur’s Lip Stains gave a sheer yet pronounced color addition to our lips. The Lip Stains include Food Drug & Cosmetics colorants. Available in 4 stains: Orchid, Red Gerbera, Viola, Winter Cherry. We had fun mixing colors, and using this sheer cover over more opaque lip products. ($20.00 4g)

von Natur’s Lip Shimmers are all natural, smooth, therapeutic, and gave us just an added hint of color. Quicktip: simply add a dot of the Lip Shimmer to the center of your lower lip for that movie star pout. Colors available in 8 shades: Aster, Snowdrop, Coriander, Sweet Violet, Forget-me-Not, Ginger, Nasturtium, Heliotrope ($ 20.00 4g)

As always, BeansTalk gives animal-friendly kudos to von Natur for using Candelilla Wax instead of beeswax in all lip products. Check them out at http://www.vonnatur.com/.
