The lip products models just can’t live without

Wed, 28 September 2011 9:03AM

When I was scooting around backstage at New York Fashion Week I took it upon myself to quiz models on their favourite beauty products. The reoccurring theme? ‘Lip stuff’. Be it balm, gloss, tint, lipstick… I tracked down the lip products all the cool kids are using. The good news? You can too.

Here’s the round-up, Primpers…

1. Zuzanna Bijoch loves M.A.C Clear Lipglass

Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S ’12

She’s an up-and-coming model with more shows to her name than Beyonce baby tweets (apparently Beyonce’s pregnancy is tweeted about 9,000 times a second. That’s nuts) and her favourite lip product of choice is this winner by M.A.C.

2. Lydia Carron loves Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly Original

Backstage at Thakoon S/S ’12

Featured on Vogue Italia’s website this down-to-earth American is going places. Quickly. She’s so obsessed with Vaseline so uses it as a moisturiser as well as a lip balm, as other products are too harsh for her delicate skin.

3. Andie Arthur loves Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish

Thakoon S/S ’12

Due to the nature of this awesome product, Andie loves the fact that it nourishes, as well as exfoliates. So that’s how she gets those super-smooth smackers. Love!

4. Marique Schimmel loves Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate

Rag & Bone S/S ’12

Having just featured on the cover of Italian Marie Claire, this gorgeous Dutch beauty is a massive fan of the Burt. She credits the pomegranate balm for her perfectly kissable lips, and I have to say, Primpers, this one’s a winner in my books too.

5. Michaela Hlavackova loves Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

L’Wren Scott S/S ’12

As one of the bigger names in the business, this Slovakian pro knows a cult product when she sees it. Rub Eight Hour Cream on your lips, elbows, knees, or anywhere that can get a little dry, and you’re well on your way to runway ready.

Tell me Primpers…

What do you think of these 5 model lip product picks?

that sugar lip polish looks so interesting, i had no idea you could even get products like that for your lips.

I love Burt’s Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm too! It has such a lovely tint, not to mention the fact that it is super moisturizing! I love the sound of that Brown Sugar lip scrub too!

I have and love that Burt’s Bees lip balm too!

As for the others, I have a gorgeous clear lip glass from Kit that I cannot go without, I sometimes use Vaseline on my elbows and heels, I have a lip scrub from Smashbox that rivals the Brown Sugar polish, and I’ve never used the EA cream, although I’d like to!

I don’t like to use products like the lip polish as they are often way to harsh for your lips.

The rest of the products are good choices, eight hour cream is now on the shopping list

The Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish looks really good. My lips have been so dry and nasty at the moment. I might need to use a lip exfoliator.

I love Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. It’s such a great product.

Couldn’t live without 8 hour cream, although wouldn’t mind checking out Burt’s for something smaller in my handbag!

glad Burts Bees was mentioned as its a great lip product!

that sugar scrub for lips sounds interesting.. wonder if you could use a body sugar scrub or would that be too coarse for the lips?

Number 4 is taken with me EVERYWHERE, life saver it is!
Posted by: bluebird Master Fan // Wed, 28 September 2011 11:27am

Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate is my absolute fave as well:)
Posted by: Roxymisha // Wed, 28 September 2011 11:35am

Interesting choices.

The brown sugar polish looks amazing! Going to order one now! As for petroleum jelly-gosh it’s just so toxic! I can’t believe she would use it on her lips! Natural is always better! xxx

love the burts bees replenishing but my all time fave is definitely Nivea ‘essential care’ … best.lip balm. ever.

EA 8 hour cream sounds great!
Sugar polish sounds a little bit too harsh for my sensitive/dry skin.
Posted by: Becca Master Fan // Wed, 28 September 2011 02:11pm

I am massive fan of sugar scrubs – Lush do 3 great varieties and a jar is $10; Mint Julip, Bubble gum and Sweet Lips.

Burt’s Bees do great lip balms too, there’s always one in my bag.

I would never had thought to use 8 hour cream on my lips…
Posted by: Julieow Master Fan // Wed, 28 September 2011 03:43pm

I’m a sucker for the Burts Bees Balms recently got the Bobbi Brown balm which is rosey and delightful too!
Posted by: Irina L Supporter // Wed, 28 September 2011 04:02pm

Lanolips range of lip glosses (Tinted color glosses and Lemonaid Lip Aid) are the best glosses! I’ve tried more than 50 brands of lip glosses and Lanolips are the only ones that keep my lips moisturised through out the day and not dried out half way through the day.
Posted by: Renee // Wed, 28 September 2011 04:32pm

Vaseline cheap and chic
Posted by: zoeeangelaa Master Fan // Wed, 28 September 2011 04:33pm

I agree with Irina, the Lanolips sample I recently received was amazing

love the clear lip gloss,,,Natio has great lip products too.
Posted by: SydneyRose Devotee // Wed, 28 September 2011 08:25pm

The only product I know is Burt’s Bees lip balm, which I absolutely love.
Posted by: Bridals // Wed, 28 September 2011 08:42pm

I agree, Im a Burts lover too. The new pomegrante with SPF is even better. I have always heard about the 8hr cream but I’m yet to try it, might be time to finally get some.

Posted by: tegania11 Master Fan // Thu, 29 September 2011 10:00am

i love the pomegranate lip balm as well! and I have always wanted to try the 8 hour cream.
Posted by: soMuchPretty Master Fan // Thu, 29 September 2011 05:33pm

8 Hour Cream is an absolute winner for lips. I use it nightly and it helps so much!

The Burt’s bees is one of my favourties too!
Posted by: teenz710 Newbie // Tue, 4 October 2011 09:35pm

ooh yeah the sugar polish looks divine, Lush cosmetics have great ones also. I can’t live without mac lip conditioner. stays on your lips for ages, isn’t at all greasy, has a pleasant taste and doesn’t bleed out if left on for too long
Posted by: p3charmed Master Fan // Thu, 6 October 2011 11:55am

paw paw ointment and lanolips with colour in apples and rhubarb and lemon-aid
Posted by: strawbsundae Master Fan // Mon, 17 October 2011 08:46pm

I can’t never pass up a Burt’s Bees lip balm!!
Posted by: misslysie Master Fan // Sun, 23 October 2011 12:06pm

I love the lush lip scrubs and I can’t go past lanolips for a lipbalm.
