With MCAS and histamine sensitivity, I not only deal with itchy, painful, bumpy rashes and dry skin. I also have dry lips, so I shy away from matte lipsticks.
I’ve had this BYS Soft Suede Lip Mousse for a while now and I can say that I’m really happy with it. It’s the lip product that stays in my going out makeup kit. The color is such a good match for my lips that I can use it with whatever kind of shade my face is in. Think natural makeup, gold, blues, etc.
I’m a mom and a home manager and when we go outside, it’s mostly for errands and piano lessons, so I need a product that will last long and won’t betray me.
As you can see below, even after wiping, the lip mousse leaves a stain and that’s great because sometimes, after eating, I don’t have the luxury of re-applying makeup. That stain becomes my backup.
I don’t have the luxury of high-maintenance makeup. I need things that stay with me.
We went out yesterday for some errands and shopping. I applied this lip mousse after eating.
I’ve never been a fan of matte lipsticks. Most long lasting products are drying, but this formula is forgiving.
This is the lip mousse on its own. My face and lips are still healing.
This is after I applied BYS peptide lip tint
My lips stayed pretty for hours after application and there’s something freeing about not worrying if your lips are still perfect. You can have a bare face and swipe a powerful shade on your lips and you will look put together. I can forego retouching my face, but not my lips.
Respecting the products I love
As a general rule, lip products last anywhere from 6 -12 months after you open them. The longevity depends on a lot of factors.
For me, I take care of this lip product by not double dipping. I always have a clean tissue on hand. I swipe the product and then wipe the applicator thoroughly on the clean tissue before getting more. I’ve been doing this for years and have found that my lip products really last a long time.
For products that have an applicator like this one, I never pump the product because that will introduce air and bacteria into the tube.
I always keep my makeup clean, especially the ones that go on my lips. It’s especially important for me because of my sensitivities.
After everything my skin has been through, I’ve stopped forcing products to perform. I choose the ones that understand me… and this BYS Lip Mousse understands me.
