MOD MOD! Where are some good places to buy lip gloss that taste like strawberry or cherry or pink lemonade or cotton candy, etc?

Hey girl,

Try Bonne Bell and Lipsmackers -- they have tons of flavors like those and are available at drugstores!

hi! i have a few questions:
1. i really love the look of red lips, but i don't have perfectly white teeth, so whats a good and preferably cheap kind of teeth whitening strips?
2. i have olive skin, brown eyes, and brown ?hair, what are good lip colors to try out for spring/summer
3. and can you use the jergen's tanning lotion on your face? i have kind of oily skin and its somewhat sensitive, so would it be a bad idea to put it on my face?
Thanks!! and sorry its so long Smile

Hey girl,

The good news is that red lipstick actually makes teeth look whiter! If you don't want to shell out for whitestrips, brush your teeth with a whitening toothpaste 2 or 3 times a day and use a whitening mouthwash, too! With olive skin a deep lip color (ie. not pale pink) would probably be better, but if you go to a makeup counter or beauty store and ask the employees they will be able to see you in person and help you find a perfect shade! I would use a facial self tanner for your face to be safe, but I'm not sure about that product specifically!
