Shu Uemura’s latest beauty creation?? NEW VINYL UNLIMITED LIPGLOSS. Though this product doesn’t seem to be different or unique compared to the average lipglosses on the market, I am curious to know how impactful the color really is. Positioned as a shockingly shiny lipgloss, the formula is said to provide intense color payoff and an aritstic finish on the lips. The range, which is packaged in a squeeze tube with a slant tip applicator, is available in 5 vivid shades and 3 clear topcoat shades, which provide dewy to iridescent fx.

Hola Chicas!Vincent Longo has just launched a new lip product called Gelli Gloss. Available in 2 vibrant shades, the transparent, jelly-like formula is packaged in a pot container. Though product leaves a shiny and sheer color on the lips, the lightweight formula also leaves behind somewhat of a greasy feel. The concept of gelli like gloss is cool, however this products greasy texture is a turn-off.*smooches*

Not only good for the lips, but for the planet, too! The Balm is another brand that’s joining the Green Movement with the introduction of their Read My Lips Lipcolor. The formula is infused with lots of good for you vitamins such as Vitamin E and A. And the base is loaded with jojoba oil and olive oil. The formula also contains a fresh vanilla mint scent. Inspired by the daily newspapers of the world, the packaging is 100% RECYCLABLE. The range is made up of 6 light, but wearable, everyday shades. I love the retro feel of the packaging!
Hey girls, If you’re a fanatic about keeping your teeth white and don’t have the time or patience to deal with whitening strips, then Tarte’s new Enbrightenment is the product you’ll want to try. I’ve always been a huge fan of the double-ended lipgloss and teeth whitening products, and my first introduction to this type of product was celebrity dentist, Dr. Pia Lieb’s Sexy Smile. However, I didn’t totally love it because 1) it tasted nasty and 2) the pack would always bust open, because of the intensity of the hydrogen peroxide (which is the teeth whitening active). Well, Tarte has taken that same fantabulous concept and partnered with well known teeth whitening brand, BriteSmile, to achieve an oral whitener that works, and tastes good. It’s also breath freshening, so it’s really like a 3-in-1 product! The formulas are housed in a flow-thru, dual-ended pack, with a brush applicator on both ends. So the process is completely mess-free and hygienic, since you don’t have to double dip the whitener every time you put it in your mouth. Yuck! And though I’m goo goo over the whitener, unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of the tacky lipgloss. But who says you have to use the gloss that’s included? So I just substitute with one of my other fave glosses. Besides, who ever carries only one lipgloss in their purse anyway? I know I don’t!

Hola girls!MAC has launched a new, dazzling lipgloss! Dazzleglass, as they’re calling it, is a high-shine, non-sticky, non-tacky formula loaded with lots of iridescent, light catching pearls. The pearls used in this product are made of large particle sizes so they reflect light to mimic the shine and brilliance of jewels, such as quartz and opal. Available in 16 shades, this formula is packaged in vial pack. According to the site (www.maccosmetics.com), the formula can be worn over lipglass, lipstick, or by itself to add dimension to the lips. I haven’t tried the formula yet, but you know I’ll let you know what I think as soon as I do! And I have to say that this one of my favorite MAC ads of all time…these lips look fantabulous!*xoxo*

Hey ladies, Chanel has finally got a new lipgloss formula out! Aqualumiere Gloss High Shine Sheer Concentrate (that’s a mouthfull!!), is a traditional lipgloss formula housed in a vial with a brush applicator. What I love about this product versus their Glossimer is that you get a lot more product deposit on the lips and it’s not sticky! Glossimer on the other hand, you’ve gotta dip the applicator like a hundred times before you get a good enough amount of product on the lips and I find the formula sticky. The Aqualumiere texture is super creamy, yet it left a super shiny wash of color on my lips, and the shade range is gorgeous! I likey:)*smooches*

Clinique’s new Long Last Glosswear promises something that no other gloss on the market is promising—8 hours wear and shine! This one-step lipgloss is supposed to be super moisturizing and contains an SPF level of 15.Now, I did get a chance to try this product last week while out shopping, and I have to say that my first impression was that it’s super comfortable for a long-wear formula. It provides a nice creamy cushion on the lips and lots of shine. However, it didn’t wear much longer than about 4 hours, which compared to the average lipgloss (usually wears only about 2 hours) is pretty long, but it failed to keep the promise of 8 hours wear:(

Hey Girls!Happy Friday!!! Phew, I’m soooo excited it’s the weekend!So, I know this isn’t the newest product out there, but I have to say I love it so much that even after a year on the market it’s still one of my fave lipsticks. MAC’s Slimshine Lipstick is essentially a lipgloss in a stick form. It provides the the sheer coverage, creamy cushion, and shine of a lipgloss but without the stickiness. Not only that, but because it’s in a stick form it’s less messy than a traditional gloss in a tube. Don’t get me wrong, I love my tube glosses, too. But this has been the best alternate for when I want to switch it up. It has such a creamy, bouncy texture that I find myself continuously applying it. It kinda reminds me of when I was a kid and would continuously apply my Wet n’ Wild or Smackers lip balm, because of the scent/flavor and that similar feeling on the lips.Any-hoo, highly recommend it….especially for the season since it’s also available in bright, sheer shades. *xoxo*

Hey Ladies, This spring’s hottest lipcolor shade? Coral! Whether in lipgloss or lipstick form, corals and oranges are the “it” shades for lips. My fave coral shade for all skintones? CK Calvin Klein’s New Delicious Pout Flavored Lipgloss in shade Burst. This lightweight formula adds lots of transparent shine with just the right amount of pop. So put that pink gloss aside for at least a day, and try a little bit of orange to spice up your spring wardrobe. *besos*
