Lip Gloss Lipstick

From Cleopatra's time, until today, women all over the world have been coloring their lips.

Ancient Egyptians stained their lips with henna. A vegetable dye. They also used a fucus, reddish-purple plant dye that contained mercury to paint their lips. Back then, they were not aware of that mercury is a poison.

In Japan, epecially in Kyoto, geishas use lipstick in the form of a green cake, applied with a wet brush onto the lips. The green stuff turns into crimson which the geishas then use to paint a small mouth considered alluring the ancient Japanese.

Then there are the modern lipsticks with lip plumping ingredients to make the lips look as full as possible, in a society where generous lips are considered sexy. A substance from Cayenne pepper is often employed in these lipsticks to make lips swell up for that bee stung look.

Seems like a cheaper way to get that look is to let a bee sting your lips, but that would lead to more than just your lips swelling up. It certainly wouldn't be a pretty sight. Scrap that thought. If you're allergic to bee stings, a stunt like that could cost you your life.

Another way is to go to the doctor's office and have collagen injected into your lips every three months. Women who might be squeamish about everything else are willing to tolerate multiple needle jabs in the name of beauty.

There's got to be a safer way to achieve beautiful lips. Putting on lipstick and applying a touch of shimmer at the center of the bottom lip is a tried and tested way of achieving the look of fuller lips. Slicking on gloss makes lips look fuller too. Either sounds less painful than the needle.

Did you ever wonder what goes into that lipstick you're wearing?

Unless you remove every trace of lipstick before you eat or drink anything, chances are, the lipstick on your lips ends up in your mouth and you end up eating it. So what's in it?

Lipsticks contain waxes like beeswax and carnabau wax to hold the shape. It would also contain vegetable oils for the moisturizing properties and ease of use. Vitamin E, aloe vera, squalane and other skin moisturizing, anti-aging ingredients might be added to it. Finally, there's the color. Natural vegetable dyes or artificial colors would be added to give the lipstick its coloring. Sometimes, a fragrance might be added to make your lips smell sweeter... more tempting. In some cases, silica or mica might be added to give lipsticks that shimmer.

Some lipsticks contain only natural ingredients. Burts bee lipstick is one of them.
