Too Faced Glamour to Go

 Too Faced has won my heart with this cute little pocket palette!  It fits in the palm of your hand.  I can’t stop opening and closing it, looking at it and dabbing some lip color, looking in the mirror - repeat, look, repeat. 

6 lip glosses and 4 eyeshadows with adorable little brushes.  The make up itself is passable.  The lip glosses were a disappointment, none of them showed up on me and had a faint scent to ‘em (perhaps vanilla?)  The shadows are worth getting to and make the set worth taking on vacation or in your purse because of the tiny size.  Truth be told the cuteness of the set at this price point make it totally worth it. I can’t wait to run through the makeup and refill with my favorite glosses!

Too Faced Glamour to Go retails for $18.50 @ Sephora

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss Product Review

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

SmashboxSheer Color! Fabulous Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in POP.  The good part, an ultra moisturizing gloss, it provides beautiful sheer color, the shine is fab - not too much, just right.  Wear it alone or over lipstick.

The bad part, the scent is that of vanilla and in case it isn’t clear I can not in good conscience not mention that.  Vanilla is meant for ice-cream and cinnamon rolls! please please keep it out of gloss!  Don’t give me any lip about it!

The Lip Enhancing Gloss retails for $18.  Thanks to CEW and check out more opinions on Total Beauty

Kissed by DiorKiss

March 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Dior Sorbet Meringue Lip GlossssssssssssssssssssssssRedundant title I know but there’s no other way to explain how I feel about it.  Thanks for kissing me Dior! I love the super sparkle and glimmer of this lip gloss, it’s got little shimmering specks in it. Yesterday I wore it alone and today I put it over a blah MAC color and it totally revived my lips.  It’s not at all sticky but be sure to use a tiny-licious amount to be sure!  DiorKiss has the Wonder Booster Complex, I didn’t notice anything particularly plumping about this gloss though, just a great basic gloss.  When in doubt buy it anyway!

Too Faced Guilt Free Lip Gloss? Blame it on the Gloss

February 9th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Too Faced 

The claim is Too Faced Guilt Free Lip Gloss is infused with healthy, delicious fruit flavors that curb your appetite and energy boosting ingredients so you feel great.  Riding the wave of Fuze’s slenderizing drinks, this gloss’ catch phrase is ”Always on the lips, never the hips.”.  Oh really?

I went searching around looking for glossy experiences. 

Lots of stores sell it and they had a fab launch party but I couldn’t find anyone that has had success in the month it’s been available, and yes I would think by now someone would have lost a pound or two. 

Splendora’s  thoughts did strike a chord, I’ve never felt guilty applying lip gloss before and kind of resent the suggestion that I should.

Thanks Too Faced, now I do feel guilty about using other glosses.  Relacore is right, it’s not my fault I have stubborn belly fat, blame it on the gloss!

Even though it is ridiculous the marketing has worked its magic on me - almost! 

I still want to see what real women think, have you tried this, any results, or just a fruity gloss with nice packaging?  I def need more info before I buy.

The Guilt Free Gloss comes in 3 shades, Blueberry Raspberry, Strawberry Melon, and Dragon Fruit Lime.  Price $18.50
