It's Lipgloss Time!

There are soooo many lipgloss brands and types everywhere by everyone but I have a few favs I'd like to tell you all about :)

My absolute favourite is Clinique Longlast Glosswear spf15 in Guavagold!
It's a beautiful colour i think would suit almost everyone! :) It's quite a large tube too.
They come in 18 different shades and cost about $14usd and $120ttd (available in Senses Trincity and West mall).
It's a bit pricey but i think the MAC lipgloss costs around the same in Trinidad. The quality is exquisite! The colour is rich yet sheer. It's great that it has spf15 to protect your lips.
Now, to tell about whether it lives up to its name, i have a story for you. I get compliments on it alll the time, but the best one was when i was in school one morning and i pulled out a bottle of coke and started drinking while all my friends were talking. All of a sudden my friends screams..."OMGGGG!!!" and i jumped thinking something was wrong then i realized she was staring at me...my lips to be exact. She had noticed the colour and how pretty it looked since i walked in, but she was stunned when she realized it looked the EXACT same way it did before i pressed my lips onto the bottle and after. This stuff doesn't budge, unless of course you decide to take your hand and smear it off. It is a bit sticky though, but i don't mind that because it means it's not going to run or fade! :)
I love it...the colour..the spf...the fact that it lastssss!!!
This is a must have!!

Second is my Coach Lip gloss in 05 Peony. A wonderful, nude, slightly shimmery shade. :) I got it for Christmas, and got excited to see that it was Coach but even more excited when i swatched it. GORGEOUS!! It's great alone or over lipstick. I've also gotten tons of compliments on it and questions as to what brand and shade etc. While this doesn't last as long as Clinique it lasts pretty long once you don't touch it a lot (it stayed on even though i was drinking and eating). lol. It doesn't run at all which is great!!! As you can see, there's a swatch of it above with the clinique swatch. Like most high-end/designer lipgloss, it does not come with a doe-foot applicator but a small brush. I love the colour and the feel (it's not so sticky like the Clinique). I can't seem to find it on the website or the price but since it's coach it may be a bit pricey and unavailable in Trinidad. Though, if you can get your hands on it...PLEASE DO!

Third is MAC Lustreglass in Love Nectar!!!
This is a very sheer but glossy lipgloss. As with the Coach gloss it comes with a brush applicator. It costs around $120 or a little less in Trinidad MAC store (i'm not quite sure...will update).
The colour is (i know i'm saying this a lot) BEAUTIFUL even though it is sheer. It looks good alone but i prefer it over a neutral/rosey lipstick. The downside is that it doesn't last very long. In order for it to last you can't touch your lips (no eating or drinking!!!) or else you'll be reapplying a lot! Besides that, it''s a beautiful gloss, makes your lips look subtly sexy :p
I know i don't have a swatch up but i will include as soon as i can!!!

Fourth is Estee Lauder High Gloss in 10 Rose.
This is a gorgeous rose colour with small gold flecks/shimmer incorporated into it. I personally prefer it alone but i have tried it with rose lipstick on and it looks equally as good. It lasts longer than the MAC lustreglass and isn't very sticky. It comes in a squeeze tube with a slanted tip. It's quite pricey, but then again it's Estee Lauder (available in Senses as well). I just included it in here because the colour is lovely, though i don't use it very often. I do keep it in my handbag for a quick touch up when i need gloss!! It IS very pretty and the colour is just...natural but gives your lips a lovely shimmer (not glitzy shimmer or glittery, but a nice look). This, like the MAC lipgloss, i didn't do a swatch for but i WILL as soon as i can!!!

Lastly (this isn't going too much by ranking btw) i wanted to mention 2 great CLEAR glosses just for everyday wear by itself!!
CO Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shine (Original & Cinamint).
These feel so tingly on your lips :D and they're infused with pepermint oil (which explains the tingle), it freshens your breath, and they taste AMAZING!!! When i bought them i just put them on to lick them off again!!! yummmieee!!!
They're available only in the US in Bath and Body Works. I got them for $1usd each (yellow tag sale)!!
The Original flavour tastes nice and minty!!! (I love mint scented and flavoured thing just btw) The Cinamint tastes exactly like the name but it's more minty than Cinnamon. They give a nice glossy shine to your lips and lastttt too!!! The only reason i can't seem to keep it on my lips for more than 5 mins is because i lick all off before anyone gets a chance to see. LOL.
I saw a zillion other flavours like Lemon Mint and Vanilla Mint (which i hear tastes really good too!), rasberry mint and pomegranate mint. None of which i felt any desire to taste other than the Vanilla mint (but i love Cinnamon so that's why i bought that instead). I also spotted the Mentha Lip Scrub by CO Bigelow but i decided not to get it (that's before my lips started to get dry and peal from the fact that i hardly drink any water and seem to always forget to put on lipbalm...Another topic i'll be blogging on...LIPBALM).
If you come across it...GET IT...it's YUMMMAAAYYYY!!

Look out for my post on Lipbalms etc :) Found some nice stuff that have become my favs (some of them multitask too!).
