While I love any good beauty product, the holy grail is finding cosmetics that look great and give you some benefit at the same time. Enter Novalip from La Roche Posay. This hardworking range of lip colours protect and perfect lips, while still providing striking colour for a polished look.

The lips are a particularly sensitive zone, as they are less protected than the rest of the face and are prone to dryness and various external aggressions. Lacking a protective hydrolipidic film, lips are also particularly vulnerable and prone to ageing. Fine lines and wrinkles appear early on at the corners of the mouth due to lack of moisture and applying lipstick becomes difficult. Colour tends to run into the fine lines, the lip contour is blurred and lacks definition.

La Roche-Posay incorporates the micro-exfoliating agent LHA into their new Novalip Rouge Satin formula, which stimulates exfoliation and cell generation providing smoother lips. This results in a lasting hold lipstick with uniform colour, which is available in 14 shades from soft pinks to vibrant reds.

Equally impressive, the Novalip Hydrashine range uses a combination of ultra-soft oils, which contain light-reflecting micro pigments. This moisturising liquid lipstick has an ultra-shiny effect and a non-sticky texture and containing high performance moisturising agents, it offers extreme comfort in a range of six sparkling extreme shine shades from the most natural to the most sophisticated.

After trying out the Rouge Satin lipstick over the last week, I was very impressed with it. The formula feels great when applied to lips and goes on very smooth for a flawless finish. It is also quite moisturising and doesn't dry out the lips, as can be the problem with many other lipsticks. In addition, the pink shade was very vibrant and lasted well, ticking all the right boxes.

So heading into the harsh winter season, treat your lips to a one of the stunning new shades from the Novalip range. Both Rouge Satin and Hydrashine are priced at €16.50 and are available from selected pharmacies, including Matt O Flaherty's, from this month.
