1/ Prime Your Pucker - prep your lips with Sugar Kisses ($14) peppermint lip scrub from Bella il Fiore. Gently rub it in, wipe it off and get ready to boast your boldest lip color of the season.
2/ Outline Your Strategy - Start with a lipliner that's close to the shade of lipstick you're using and draw your outline. If you have thin lips, you may want to draw them a little bigger to add fullness. If you're lips are very full, you can minimize them by drawing inside your natural lipline.
3/ The Right Shade - Choosing the right lipcolor can seem daunting. If you want something in the red family, go for a pretty tomato red with orange undertones if your coloring is warm. For cooler skintones, opt for a deep burgundy, or a bright shade of fire-engine red. Keep in mind that deep lipcolors will enhance wrinkles around your mouth area, so if you have more than a few, I recommend you opt for a nude or mid-range shade.
4/ The Finishing Touch - Put the final touch on your lips with Zoya's Hot Lips lip gloss. You'll love this sweet layer of gloss that adds shimmer and shine to make your lips ready for kissing!

Drink lots of water so that your lips are not chapped.

Moisturizing lip products.
Vaseline is what I use on my lips!
I have used Mary Kay's lip products before and I really like them...
Light exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush (not the one you use for brushing, obviously, lol) and some vaseline. Scrub them in a soft circular motion. Then rinse your lips off. It really does a great job of making them smooth.
Thanks!

My best tips for lips is to exfoliate with a little sugar and a soft toothbrush. It rids the dry flakes making your lips smooth and once again kissable.
When you run out of exfoliator, a really good one you can make is simply with sugar and water, mixed until they are to a consistency similar to your scrub. Works great! Just be sure to follow with your moisturizer.
Lip balm. Thank you for this giveaway!
I also use vaseline at bedtime. Really helps.

I exfoliate my kisser with sugar and a toothbrush(like a couple of other people mentioned), and then I apply an olive oil/vaseline mixture to make my lips nice and soft. If I'm going out to run errands or whatnot I will add a little lipstick or stain to my lips along with the olive oil/vaseline mixture, just to give them a little color.

Always use a non-flavored, non-scented basic balm first on your lips before adding color or shine to your lips. It will seal in moisture and hold color. Thank you for the contest!

It seems pretty basic but moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. A good lip balm is essential for me. I have 2 or 3 lip balms floating around my house and purse, just to be sure its there when I feel my lips get even the slightest bit dry. Also a nice lip scrub is always a great feeling.

This is not my area of expertise but I do know in order to keep them looking healthy they have to be moisturized so keep them protected with an SPF product while outdoors.

Try a lip plumper and use chapstick right before bed.
Moisturize your lips when you moisturize your face. Keep up on moisturizing especially when using those 8-10 hour lip paint glosses.

I've never heard of botoxing your lips...
Anyway, when the weather gets dry, so do my lips. When I'm in the shower, I softly buff my lips with a wet washcloth to remove all the dry skin. Plus...always wear chap stick or lipstick with sunscreen!
I usually wear lipstick with spf in it especially since I live in sunny climate - not sure if this works good as I have rarely gone without but my lips are almost nice
I put eye cream on the outside of my lips. Keeps them smooth and plumpier. Try it...it works. Your lips look younger.
