Lorac Lips with Benefits

While in Sephora I stumbled across Lorac Lips with Benefits lip gloss ($18) simply because I was on a hunt for a super shiny lipgloss that had opague color. These come in about 6 colors but as you can see, in 1 tube a trio of colors make up a gorgeous finished color. I love rocking this because the color is opague and beautiful.

The design is zigzag and funky!

According to Lorac the Lips with Benefits lip glosses are meant to be hydrating and completely comfortable to wear, and as an added bonus will benefit your lips by providing antioxidants of Acai Berry, Pomegranate Extract and Vitamins C & E. There is a sweet creamy brulee scent, not really something I'd expect though for some reason I would have thought they would have a fruity scent, nevertheless it is nice. 

It is super comfortable and very glossy, I loved the way it looked natural!

NYC Lippin' Large lip plumper

What NYC Cosmetics says about Lippin' Large lip plumper lipgloss: "New York Color Lippin' Large Lip Plumper gives you noticeably fuller-looking, plumper lips. Cinnamon and Ginger help to enhance lip shape and fullness. The warm tingly sensation means it's working! Enriched with Vitamin E to hydrate, smooth, and soothe. Lips look and feel fuller, plumper, and kissable!"

My thoughts: When I first came across it I thought it was a little bit too pricey for a lipgloss tube, especially one made by NYC, but beforehand I had heard some good things about it so I picked out a color and bought it.

The color I have is in Strawberry Mousse, a light pink and golden glitters and shimmers. The lipgloss is featured in a clear squeeze tube and has clear screw cap and the applicator is slanted. The gloss has a light sweet scent.

My first reaction to it......... was that it had nice color pigmentation. Texture is not too goopy, sticky, or thick. It has a nice smooth consistency and kept my lips moist.

The percentage of glossiness is pretty good, I’d say just as shiny as a MAC lipglass. Within a few seconds I could feel the tingling sensation on my lips, not stinging just tingling and cool.

I wore it for several hours but after an hour or so, I wanted to see if it created any kind of plump in my lips. After making a judgement I noticed my lips looked about the same.

For what its worth, I really like the way it stayed on my lips, I was able to drink water without it transferring too much.

I am going to rate it an 8.5 out of 10 scale. I give it this rating because of the nice pigmentation and the lasting quality. Furthermore the points taken away reflect how little my lips plumped out.

I like the way NYC has a variety of colors in this formula and the amount of product in each tube is good, .55 oz to be exact.

NYC is available in CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target as well as other websites, please Google for more information!

Lipgloss Spotlight: Mary Kay Nourishine lipgloss

Happy Holidays gals! I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was wonderful as was mine, I cooked the entire meal from scratch and had my family over at my house and had a great time! My very nice sister-in-law spent the rest of the week with us, I painted her nails and tinted her hair and we just sat around and talked....But all good things must come to an end, it was back to work on Monday! bah! I think the only great thing about returning to work on Monday was all the emails about the sales for Cyber Monday, I did haul a few things so I should be featuring them soon!

A while back a good friend of mine, Jeanette, had a Mary Kay party but unfortunately I wasn't able to go. I told her that I would order from her anyway so I went online to see what they had. Actually it was quite difficult for me to choose since most of the swatches on their website are hard to differenciate. My only choice was to take a chance on a lipgloss color. I'm not really a big fan of Mary Kay products, I've mentioned this before, but I was really intrigued by this lipgloss, I just had to share

Mary Kay Nourishine lipgloss in Fancy Nancy

The truth about this lipgloss is that it isn't at all that shiny, I should have compared the shine with another lipgloss but I would say they come close in shine like the Avon Glazewear Lipgloss.

It is a light Pink/Coral shade with tiny gold sparkles.

Comes with a doe-foot applicator.

Is only $1 cheaper than a MAC lipgloss.

Comes in a few other colors (but in my opinion I wish they would make more colors!)

I really like to layer this gloss over a deep color like a fuchsia pink or true red, it really brings out the sparkles!

This gloss is not sticky at all, it has a smooth consistency, keeps your lips moisturized and stays on quite a while. As I mentioned before, it isn't shiny all that much but I guess you could apply a top coat of your favorite clear gloss if you want more shine.
