Lip Gloss Love: C.O. Bigelow Green Tea Glossy Lip Balm

Oh C.O. Bigelow can you do no wrong? I am loving the Green Tea Glossy Lip Balm. It's infused with green tea which everyone knows is infused with antioxidants and that equals a healthy lip gloss!

Grean Tea Glossy Lip Balm has a light green tea scent and has a great shine that is fairly moisturizing. This is definitely one to check out and keep in your makeup bag!

Christian Dior Minaudiere {Beauty Swoon}

Is this not the most gorgeous makeup palette you have ever seen in your life?

 

Dior’s limited-edition Holiday 2010 palette Minaudiere (that’s tiny purse in French) is featured in the September issue of Allure and it is pretty much love at first sight for me. I need to see this gorgeousness in person.

The case and gold trim are so elegant and the colors will create the perfect smokey eye and nude lip looks. Honestly if I got my hands on the Minaudiere, I would be hesitant to use it. It’s just too pretty, lol!

The palette includes:

Dior Minaudiere Palette – $ 80.00 (Pricey but sooooo worth it.)
5 Color Eyeshadow in No.001 Five Golds
5 Color Iridescent in No.529 Endless Shine

A Life of Style: Milani Lip Mixer Color Shine & Shimmer Gloss

Milani Lip Mixer Color Shine & Shimmer Gloss in Lip Mix 702 is a gorgeous gloss.

Inside the tube are three layers - the bottom layer is the conditioning color, the middle layer contains high shine polymers, and the top layer has reflective pearls. Pull the wand through all three layers and you get a pretty mix of color, shine, and glitz.

Lip Mix 702 is the most perfect nude gloss I have come across in a very long time. My local Walgreens had some new beauty displays up today and the Milani just caught my eye. Lip Mixer just looks so sparkly in the tube - it mesmerized me, lol.

I wore it with my MAC Cork Lip Liner and it looked great. You know how some glittery glosses have a slightly rough texture due to the glitter? None of that here. The gloss goes on very smooth and is quite moisturizing.

And after one day of wear, I feel safe in stating, this is now my favorite lip gloss.

You can find Milani Cosmetics at CVS, Walgreens, and Target. It cost $6.29 - a fab gloss at a wallet friendly price ;)

A Life of Style Product Review: Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip Shine in Fresh

Can you believe I left the house without lip gloss yesterday? I am as shocked as you all are.

I left my lip gloss on the sink after putting it on, totally forgetting to put it in my makeup bag. When I got to work and reached into my bag I had that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Yes. It is that serious.

Thank the Beauty Gods there's a CVS in the lobby of my office building. I was just looking for something to get me through the day so I grabbed a tube of Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip Shine in Fresh. I had no expectations or prior knowledge of this product at all. I had a $4 Extra Care bucks coupon and the gloss was $5.99, with tax I paid $2.16 and left CVS glossy and happy =)

When I applied it, I was pleasantly surprised. It's super shiny and not sticky. It feels really nice on my lips too. Although Fresh looks pale pink in the tube, it goes on slightly sheer. I think this is a great gloss to keep in your purse at all times.

A Life of Style Product Review: L'Oreal HIP Jelly Balm

Walgreens and CVS have had BOGO sales for the past couple of weeks on L'Oreal HIP products and I have made out like a BANDIT!!!

My new favorite item is L'Oreal Hip Jelly Balm in Plush. Normally I steer clear of potted glosses and balms because I detest having to use my finger to apply. However that issue was solved when I unearthed a VS retractable lip brush during a recent makeup brush count.

I love the consistency of this product. It's not sticky and it doesn't make your lips dry. Plush is a pretty in pink shade with the right amount of pigment and shine. You know how some glosses are just too sheer and you end up with yet another clear lip product? Well Jelly Balm is not like that at all. You can definitely see the color. Don't be freaked out by the brightness in the pot it's not neon bright, lol.

Just apply it with a lip brush and you're all set. This is my favorite lip product right now and I plan to test the other shades out during the next BOGO. I haven't tried the MAC Tendertones because my wallet and MAC are on the outs. I'd like to see how similar Jelly Balm is to the Tendertones but for now L'Oreal HIP is where its at.

Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss

Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss is the perfect blend of lip balm and lip gloss. This has been a staple in my makeup bag since early April. I picked it up from Macy's after work one day and I instantlly fell in love. I chose Rootbeer, a pretty pinkish neutral.

The consistency is very smooth and not at all sticky. It's ultra moisturizing and has a high gloss factor. And the greatest feature is how long it lasts! I got over two and a half hours of wear out of it.

In my opinion, this product offers it all except for SPF, hopefully Clinique will consider adding SPF 15. There are some new shades in the 2008 Air-Kissed Colours Summer Collection; Cocoa and Passionfruit are calling my name ;)
