Bodyography announces a flirty new lip collection to be released in March 2015, just in time for spring. The Lucky in Love Lip Collection features two brand new shades of lipstick and two new shades of gloss in Bodyography’s signature nourishing formula. Lipstick shades are Smooth and Ooh La La, and lip glosses come in Pucker Up and French Kiss.
According to Bodyography Professional Cosmetics Creative Director and Makeup Artist Lori Leib, “The lip colors are meant to enhance your lips’ natural tones and look flirty, yet effortless, at the same time.”
For lighter skin tones, Leib recommends Smooch lipstick as the perfect “naked” lip color, and for darker skin tones, Ooh La La will bring out the sultry warmth to the natural tone of the lips. Leib says that “Pucker Up and French Kiss are the ideal everyday gloss because they will add a hint of girly-ness to any look, and will also make a great accompaniment to a nude or soft pink lip.”
Staying true to the brand’s philosophy of only using natural ingredients and formulas that are good for you and the environment, the new lip colors are paraben free, gluten free and cruelty free. Both new lipsticks and glosses are aloe vera-based, chock full of vitamins and work to hydrate the lips and protect from free radicals while adding soft, beautiful color. And unlike other lip glosses that are super sticky, the new Pucker Up and French Kiss shades have a glossy look that will never feel sticky.
