Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss

~Weekly Product Highlight~Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss~

Moisturizing Shine with a Non-Sticky Feel

I recently spent some time with my sister who lives out of town.  I love to look through other people’s makeup collections (Am I alone here? How about you? Do you like looking at other people’s makeup too?) She had all kinds of great products.  Some I have tried and love, some I have never tried and always wondered about, some that don’t work for me but work out great for her.  Isn’t that the awesome thing about makeup, it is so individual and personal.My sister Sarah | lookingjoligood.blog

Out of my three sisters, I think that the two of us look the most alike.  What do you think?

 

Being a huge fan of glossy lips, I noticed right away that she had two tubes of Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Glosses in her bag.  She had the shades Rosy Future and Pink Pop.  I am a huge fan of the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick line, but I had never tried the glosses.  When I asked her how she likes them, she said that they are great, but the Rosy Future shade doesn’t work with her coloring.

She asked me if I wanted it and I said yes! I am not exaggerating when I tell you I instantly fell in love with this gloss as soon as I put it on!  The shade is perfect for my coloring (don’t you love it when that happens?!)

The gloss goes on smoothly and evenly without feeling sticky at all.   It does not bleed outside the lip line. It has a great sparkly shine that is not glittery.  The gloss also wears off well.  I cannot stand it when a sparkly gloss wears off leaving a weird looking glittery residue on the lips. (not cute!)

Weekly Product Highlight

Chapstick

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Chapstick~

When it comes to lip balms, I am very particular!  Sometimes it is the simplest and the most classic products that work the best for me.

No matter how many times I stray, I always come back to the original classic ChapStick.  I don’t know what it is about this classic lip balm, but it works better than almost every chapstick that I have tried!  It is nothing fancy, but it is effective.

Chapstick | lookingjoligood.blog

Since there are so many varieties of ChapStick each has its own combo of ingredients, but most ChapSticks contain camphor, vitamin E, aloe, beeswax, menthol, petrolatum, phenol, and oxybenzone. While I love the cherry, strawberry and the spearmint, the classic black ChapStick is my favorite!

Each 0.15 oz tube costs around $1.

What does the Chapstick website have to say about the classic original chapstick?

“The one and only Classic! The one that made ChapStick America’s favorite lip balm and the one that our hearts still beat for. Try it in Original, Cherry, Strawberry and Spearmint.

  • Softens and protects for smooth, silky lips every day

  • Helps heal and prevent dry, chapped lips

  • The formula you know and love”

What about you?  What is your favorite lip balm? Do you like the original ChapStick or another flavor better?

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss Review and Swatches

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss~

I was watching a video by Drugstore Maven, and she recommended the Essence XXXL Shine Lipglosses.  Being a huge fan of glossy lips, the next time I was at Target I picked one up.

I am not exaggerating when I tell you I instantly fell in love with this gloss as soon as I put it on!

The gloss goes on smoothly and evenly without feeling sticky at all.   It does not bleed outside the lip line. It has a great sparkly shine that is not glittery.  The gloss also wears off well.  I cannot stand it when a sparkly gloss wears off leaving a weird looking glittery residue on the lips. (not cute!)

nude kiss | lookingjoligood.blog

The packaging is very simple and pretty yet sturdy. It comes in a transparent glass tube with a silver cap.  The name is on a label on the cap. The gloss has a long flat doe foot sponge tip applicator. I like the flat applicator because it holds a lot more product and applies the gloss nice and precisely.

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss | lookingjoligood.blog

 The first shade I purchased was in 22 Nude Kiss. It has just a hint of pink shimmery color to it which can be worn alone or as a glossy topper over another lipstick.

After wearing Nude Kiss non-stop for several days, I knew that I had to get another shade of these glosses.  The second shade I picked up is 07 Big Night Out and 08 Glamour To Go. They are a sparkly mauve and a sparkly coral nude.

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss | lookingjoligood.blog

At only $2.49 a tube, this gorgeous lipgloss is a great deal!

As I do with most of my favorite makeup discoveries, I quickly shared it with my sisters and my sister in law.  The next day my sister sent me the below picture.  She got hers in 17 Fabulous Fuchsia.  Since then she told me that she loves it and has used her so much that it is almost gone.  A few days later she went back and picked up Nude Kiss as well.

 What does the Essence Website have to say about the XXXL Shine Lipglosses:

“Ultimate shine for your lips! The XXXL shine lipgloss pampers your lips without leaving behind a sticky feeling. Contains vitamin e and panthenol to moisturize and prevent lips from feeling dry. Available in 12 glossy shades.”

Now I have three of the 12 shades and I love them all.  They are all somewhat similar, yet a bit different, and all beautiful!

LORAC Alter Ego Lip Gloss Collections

Last year I bought (and instantly fell in love with) the LORAC Love, Lust & Lace Lip Gloss Collection Gift Set. These lip glosses quickly became my favorites and I have been wearing them constantly!  My favorite from last year’s set is CEO, a beautiful dusty rose “my lips but better shade”.

While unfortunately that particular 6 gloss set is no longer available, these beautiful lip glosses can be bought as singles for $16 USD.  Available in 16 shades, you can find them at Kohls, Ulta and Lorac.com

lorac alter ego lip glosses | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comAt such an amazing deal of 6 glosses for $25, I was anxiously waiting for this year’s Lorac Alter Ego Sets to come out!

A few weeks ago I swatched the Happy Hour Hues set that is available at Kohls.  Unfortunately, even though they are beautiful, I felt as if the shades available wouldn’t work well with my skin tone.  So despite the great deal, I passed on buying the glosses.

My sister in law was at Ulta and sent me a picture of the A Lavish Affair set available there. She ask if it was the same or if the set of glosses are different.

I was so excited to discover that they had completely different glosses available at Ulta.  While the shades are similar in each set, they are just different enough.

alter ego lipgloss sets | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

These glosses are highly-pigmented and have a long lasting glossy color without feeling sticky or uncomfortable.  I think that the slightly vanilla scent is a pleasant scent that I love.

The tip of the applicator works great for the cupids bow as well as getting color in the corners of your lips.  Also the angle of the doe foot applicator gives a very smooth application.

  • Only at ULTA!  A $96 value!“Lorac’s A Lavish Affair Alter Ego Lip Gloss Collection edition collection gives you a lip for every look. Decorated in Rose Gold, the Alter Ego lip gloss shades will take you from the first toast of champagne through the finale with one swipe of highly-pigmented, glossy color. The set includes 6 full size Alter Ego Lip Gloss Shades.”lorac a lavish affair lip gloss set | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comLip gloss shades include:

    *New, limited edition Alter Ego Lip Gloss shades.

    • BAE (nude)*
    • It Girl (coral pink with gold shimmer)*
    • Goddess (mauve)
    • Diva (hot pink)*
    • Icon (cherry red)*
    • Dominatrix (deep burgundy)

I am so happy that I decided to buy this set.  Each of these colors is absolutely beautiful in a very different way.  I can’t decide which one is my favorite… probably Goddess, a purple tones mauve, which is another “my lips but better” shade.  So far I have really been enjoying wearing It Girl, the golden flecks are beautiful and when it wears off they still look great without looking crazy like some sparkly glosses can.  Bae is a beautiful pink toned neutral shade that is similar to Sex Symbol from the Love Lust & Lace set.

Sex Symbol from last year’s set is very similar to Bae in this year’s A Lavish Love Affair set from Ulta.

I thought for sure that Icon (cherry red) wasn’t going to work with my skin tone.  When I put it on, I realized that it is more of a glossy watermelon red than a brick red like last years Vamp red shade is. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is.  Dominatrix (deep burgundy) was in last years set as well and it makes my teeth look extra white.  I have not worn Diva yet, but I know that I will get a lot of use out of this set.

Benefit Dandelion Ultra Plush Lip Gloss

~Weekly Product Highlight~

Dandelion Ultra Plush Soft Pearly Pink Lip Gloss $16.00

I bought this lip gloss a little while back and for some reason completely forgot about it and never used it.  I was just recently sorting through and cleaning up some of my makeup and I rediscovered it.  Not really thinking about it I put it and and instantly fell in love!

I am so picky when it comes to lip glosses.  I don’t like for my lips to feel uncomfortable at all!  This one glides on so smoothly and it is so silky, not sticky at all.  It has a nice light pleasant scent.  It also has a nice light faint pink color, not too pigmented, but it is also not meant to be pigmented.  It gives a natural but beautiful sheen to the lips.

Benefit Dandelion | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

LORAC Love, Lust & Lace Lip Gloss Collection Gift Set

DSC_0463.jpg You may remember that I have been on a quest to find some much needed new jeans, yup still haven’t found any yet…why is it so hard to find a great pair of jeans?!  So, still no jeans, but I did find some amazing lip glosses!

Yesterday, while shopping around at Kohls, I stopped by the beauty section (obviously, of course, I did.)  I wasn’t really planning on buying anything, but found myself looking at all the beautiful Lorac lip glosses. I fell in love!

I couldn’t decide on just which one I wanted.  It was a toss up between Goddess and CEO.  Then I saw this LORAC Love, Lust & Lace Lip Gloss Collection Gift Set.   It doesn’t have Goddess, but it does include CEO.

Let me tell you, I am so glad that I decided to get this gift set! These 6 beautiful glosses were only $25 total!  Are you kidding me?!  $25?!   I thought I probably wouldn’t use all of the colors in the set, but since it was such a great deal I just couldn’t pass this up. It ends up that love all of them! I am enjoying these glosses so much that I am going to go pick up Goddess too.

I don’t know how long this gift set is going to be available, but I highly recommend you go get these or any of the other beautiful Lorac Alter Ego Lip Glosses.

These glosses are highly-pigmented and have a long lasting glossy color without feeling sticky or uncomfortable.  I think that they are supposed to have a vanilla scent, but I don’t necessarily think that it is vanilla like.  Either way, the scent is definitely a pleasant one. The tip of the applicator works great for the cupids bow as well as getting color in the corners of your lips.  Also the angle of the doe foot applicator gives a very smooth application. For me, it was love at first swipe!

I am so happy that I decided to buy this set.  Each of these colors is absolutely beautiful in a very different way.  I can’t decide which one is my favorite.  So far I have really been enjoying wearing Dominatrix and Coquette.  (Added bonus, Dominatrix is the type of color that makes your teeth look whiter!) I thought for sure that Sex Symbol and Debutante were not going to work with my skin tone, but when I put them on I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful both are.  I have also worn Debutante over one of my other lipsticks and it looked amazing!
