Creamy Matte Lipsticks Made from Coffee Oil: Lucky Chick Cosmetics

As the weather gets colder, lips get dry and chapped. For those who prefer matte lip color over gloss and chapstick, there’s Lucky Chick Cosmetics. The brand’s creamy matte lipstick line offers bold, jewel-toned colors without the added drama of chemicals. Soothe and hydrate with clean ingredients and active botanicals when your lips need extra care. Lucky Chick gives you added protection with its essential oil formula that includes coffee oil.

Why drink your coffee when you can wear it on your lips? Coffee oil is a little known beauty secret in the world of essential oils. It’s made from extracting residual oil from coffee beans. Lucky Chick’s creamy matte formula uses coffee oil as a key ingredient. Your favorite morning pick-me-up as an essential oil has multiple benefits for skin including your lips.

Lucky Chick’s ultimate one swipe application does more than leaving a beautiful color behind. Here’s how coffee oil can improve your lips:

  • Prevents dehydration

  • Softens skin

  • Smoothes skin

In addition to using natural oils instead of chemicals, Lucky Chick’s products are vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, peg free, D-5 free, gluten-free and made in the USA.

Clothing Rental Programs: Save Time and Money

I shared this post on Kimberly West Styling Facebook page.  But, it’s such a game-changing piece of advice that I want to post it here on the blog!

Did you know that instead of purchasing new clothing you can rent high-quality pieces?

Some of your favorite brands allow renting options with a reasonable monthly fee and the process is simple:

1. Signup

2. Browse and select styles.

3. Return the items with a pre-paid envelope.

If you love those items, you have the option to keep them with a discounted price!

Below are clothing rental companies:

Infinite Style – Ann Taylor

NY&C Closet – New York & Company

American Eagle Style Drop – Americaneagle.com

Trunk Club – Nordstrom

Rent The Runway

Additional plus-size rental programs:

Stitch Fix

Gwynnie Bee

Stylogic

Plvsh Style

Wantable

I strongly encourage clothing rental services for busy women, last-minute social events, or even to save money!  How often do we wear a dress on multiple occasions?  Also, do we really want an unorganized closet filled with miscellaneous pieces?

Eliminate the hassle of never having anything to wear by subscribing to one of the programs on this list.

Let us know what you think about clothing rental programs in the comment box.  Give us your opinion!
