HEY! Lip gloss is important. Not really. But I like it. And I'm young and silly so I feel like I can blog about superficial things all I want. I'mma share some of my faaaaaaaavorite lip products. Boom baby. Let's get ready.
First! The lip balm. This is not a joke, my friends. Best lip balm you've ever had. (and maybe even tasted... just kidding... never mind)
Smooth, nonsticky, awesome, best-you-ever-had kind of balm. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The EOS lip balms found eeeverywhere. I always see them in WalMart by the checkout, but I've also seen them in Walgreens and various other stores. This flavor is my favorite - Lemon Drop. The lemon one is not my favorite just because it smells delicious (and oh my, is it delicious), but also because it has the smoothest, best-feeling texture. The other flavors include (but are not limited to!): honeysuckle, sweet mint, and summer fruit (smells like Peachie-Os!). Also, in WalMart I saw a package of two flavors I've never seen before... strawberry and passionfruit, I think? Anyway! The other flavors are good too (I have three, but have tried nearly all of them!), but I recommend lemon drop the most. It also has SPF 15, which is great to protect your lips. Holla at me!
My first gloss recommendation: Maybelline Shine Sensational Lipgloss
Aren't they pretty?? I only own one so far - Tempting Toffee, which is second from the left in this picture. John bought it for me as a present because he knew how excited I was to have a toffee-flavored gloss. Needs no explanation. haha but I was pleasantly surprised with the look and texture of the gloss. Tempting Toffee isn't sparkly, but a smooth natural-looking red color. LOVE. But the beauty of this line? Maybelline does not just have four lip glosses in this line - oh no - they have EIGHTEEN. I will list them all...
Minty Sheer, Cherry Bloom, Freshly Sliced, Glamorous Guava, Mad About Melon, Crazy for Caramel, Cocoa Fever, Berry Dazzle, Cranberry Crave, Crushed Candy, Peach Sorbet, Cherry Kiss, Watermelon Punch, Berry Bella, Sweet Indulgence, Sparkling Grape, Treat Me Sweet, and (previously mentioned) Tempting Toffee
Seriously, doesn't that long list of delicious sounding names make you want to go eat something bad for you??? So obviously, tons of flavors. It covers fruity to sweet and plenty between there. The packaging is adorable - I know this should not be important, but it makes me want to buy them more. haha The finishes might vary with the flavors - I think some are glassy, some are sparkly. The fact is the glosses give a pretty shine, they're kinda sheer so they don't take over yo FACE, and they're not sticky. LOVE. I want to buy them all. I'm taking donations to this cause.
**SIDE NOTE: Maybelline does not always seal their lip products... this is good so that you can see the actual color of the products, but be careful when you are purchasing to make sure you don't buy a gloss that has been yuckified.**
My last lip gloss for now is Neutrogena's MoistureShine Lip Soother in Glaze 60. That's the technical name... I affectionately call it my "Go-To Gloss!" That's not a joke.
Also on the packaging it says "Cooling Hydragel"... No joke, fellas. This is a non-minty menthol nonsense lip gloss that gives your lips a cooling sensation. PLUS it has SPF 20 - not usually found in most glosses. My go-to gloss is smooth and sheer, and it gives you a pretty shine that isn't too over the top. This particular shade makes your lips look ... fruity? I'm not sure how to describe it. Oh! I should mention the way it smells and such. It doesn't really have a taste, but the smell is particularly difficult to describe. I'm just gonna say it smells fruity because honestly I cannot pick out specific scents within it... but I will tell you, it smells delicious. Mmm. =)
So that's all folks! I hope you enjoyed this little blog with my favorite lip glosses at the moment... Many of you will know I am particularly obsessed with lip products, so this was FUN. Just so you understand my personal taste with lip gloss - I like shiny but NOT shimmery glosses that feel good when I press my lips together (important, obviously). I always go for more sheer lip glosses because I am addicted to lipstick as it is... if I need extra color, I just layer a gloss over a lipstick. BAM.
Okay, enough of my shallow lameness. PLEASE tell me your favorite glosses and why. In a comment, on Facebook, in person... I just need to know. baha
Byyyyyyyyyye! <3
I like the Avon lip glosses (remember at your state speech competition?). I just ordered two more of them but I might have to try some of the glosses you mentioned above. Can you come and be my official make-up person?
