Simple Yet Stunning: Meet Kosas LipFuel

I love on-the-go makeup products, mascaras and lip balms that I can easily apply in my car or a restaurant bathroom to quickly refresh my look. In summer weather, it is particularly useful to have products that are light, natural, and do not melt in the heat. I recently discovered Kosas LipFuel, which is a tinted lip balm product. 

Kosas LipFuel is a hydrating and plumping lip balm made to improve the condition of your lips each time you wear it. It is made with hyaluronic acid to moisturize dry lips. I highly recommend the tinted shades of this product (my personal favorite is Rush) because it has the feel of a balm but the look of a sheer lipstick. 

I swipe on a layer of LipFuel anytime I have a packed schedule but want to look and feel my best. When I am meeting a friend for coffee after a workout class, it is convenient to have a product that is practical, yet also makes me feel more put together. 

LipFuel receives rave reviews on Sephora; one user said that the “hydration is immediate” and makes her “constantly dry lips actually look plump.” Another reviewer commented that the “shape is perfect for a clean swipe of product” and the color is “sheer enough that a light swipe looks totally natural but adding a second layer adds more depth of color.” This product is extremely flexible — it can be used lightly for a natural look or even worn at night with going-out makeup. 

Kosas’ brand prides themselves on their clean ingredients. They have banned over 2,700 ingredients and adhere to Sephora and Credo’s clean beauty standards. They are formulated without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, dalc, aluminum, BHA, and more. Instead, they use ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E in LipFuel for clean, comfortable beauty. 

LipFuel is the ultimate summer lip product to keep in your purse when out and about. It is moisturizing, bright, and comfortable to wear throughout the day.

    Op-Ed: The Subjective Nature of Beauty Over the Years

    Growing up in a Pentecostal household, there were a lot of beauty trends that passed me by that I wasn’t a part of. For those who don’t know what Pentecostal is, it is a Christian, Protestant-based religion. It also, depending on the church, follows some strict rules when it comes to a women’s appearance. Whatever each church’s case may be, I did not partake in makeup, dyeing my hair- and cutting anything except the ends of it- plucking my eyebrows, wearing certain jewelry, etc. This was of my own doing; of course, I wasn’t forced, but it was something that was introduced to me pretty early on. Therefore, I underestimated the effects of not partaking in the, at the time unknowingly, yet still fleeting beauty trends of my high school.

    The brand says all products are based on the antioxidant power of grapes, “Grape seeds are known to be rich in polyphenols which are molecules that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,” states Dr. Emily Wood, a board-certified dermatologist. Another study suggests that grape seed extracts might have benefits that support aging by reducing sun damage exposure- a large contributor to cell destruction.

    I liked wearing makeup because I felt pretty when I wore it. My skin was never smooth, so I felt the need to cover up my acne to look like everyone around me who had clear skin, which made me feel insecure. Caking on makeup made my acne worse, but I had to wear it for dance competitions.

    Miss England Finalist Makes History by Being the First to Compete Makeup

    Melissa Raouf’s goal is to inspire girls and women who have been victims of insecurity due to the fact that we live in a society that profits off them by marketing beauty products with photoshopped images and filling beauty pageants with women’s cosmetically altered faces. When taking this into consideration, why wouldn’t one think that beauty is synonymous with distortion? However, Melissa Raouf opens their eyes by becoming the first competitor in the 94-year history of the beauty pageant to compete without makeup.
