Buxom Winner Takes All Lip Set

[maxbutton id=”1″] Buxom Winner Takes All Lip Set on Belle Belle Beauty

We are officially near (or at) the last day to ship Christmas gifts for them to arrive safely on 12/24. If you are a fellow procrastinator, I am guessing you’ve noted this for a couple weeks. On that note, I thought I’d share one final idea for gifting.

I actually adore the Buxom Lip Gloss Roulette (but I dropped the ball and it is sold out). As an alternative, the Buxom Winner Takes All Lip Set is the perfect last minute stocking stuffer for the lip gloss junkie. I also love these sets to take to girls’ holiday dinners and split up individual lip glosses as a little treat for everyone.

Buxom (the sexy little sister of bareMinerals) lip glosses are a long time favorite and this set has both lip polishes (sheer) and creams (more opaque). The tingling and lip-plumping action is effective but not irritating. The scent is a vanilla gourmand but not cloying. While they don’t have long-lasting properties, you won’t mind because they are a pleasure to swipe on.

Range of shades include:

Full-On Lip Creams in

Creamsicle (peach sorbet)
Berry Blast (vivid fuchsia)
White Russian (nude pink) – my favorite pale pink

Full-On Lip Polishes in

Chloe (dollface pink)
Sophia (sweetheart pink) – with just a perfect hint of lavender
Trixie (24-karat pink)

Free shipping at Sephora through tomorrow with code GIFTSHIP.

Cruelty-free and without parabens and sulfates.

NARS Holiday Soleil D’Orient Lipgloss

I’ve been wearing a lot of bold lip colors lately. There is something about a red or plum lip that gets people talking. Outfits seem to look a little bit more put together, a little more sophisticated. But even so… lipstick can be a drag. I have a pet peeve with it getting on wine glasses, teeth and that rare (okay maybe not so rare) rogue smudge on my face. So, I am fully embracing the new NARS lip gloss for holiday.

Today marks the day you fanatical NARSissts can get the holiday collection (I am included in this group). The entire collection is inspired by bold design and the “future femme”. The custom packaging is sure to be a collectors item with designs by architectural designer Chris Kabatsi. The digitally-rendered Nebula print appears on all the products.

Soleil D’Orient is a shimmering pink champagne that adds more than a regular dose of iridescence. But the effect is slightly more nude than glitter. I can officially call this the perfect holiday cocktail party lip.

Stay tuned for more reviews of the NARS Holiday 2014 Collection. You can find the NARS Holiday 2014 Collection today on www.narscosmetics.com and at department and specialty stores beginning November 1. The gift sets and palettes will be available on November 1 as well.

mark Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss

I can’t think of a better name for these fun little lippies. Juice Gems come in a fun and sleek tube and are packed with the perfectly balanced, shiny gloss. The twist off cap reveals an angled applicator. I love that it is transparent so you are sure not to glob on too much.

Now for the fun part – channel your inner preteen. The formula is packed with the most yummy, fruity scent. The real fruit extract moisturized and conditions lips. You’ll want every shade and at 11 bucks why not?! My favorites are Snow Peach and Juicy Fig.

Chantecaille Radiant Fresh Luminous Gloss

Chantecaille’s new spring lip gloss has been like this little gem of shining light on my vanity. To the point that I almost feel guilty for having not shared this beauty! My preferred shade is Framboise which looks shocking in the tube but is the most wearable, rosy pink on the lips. Framboise appears to be an old shade but with the new and improved formula.

The new formula has a brilliance and shine that is unmatched. My lips get a dose of hydration. I’d say staying power is along the same lines as other glosses, but you won’t mind whipping out this beauty to reapply. I always find I reapply every hour or so anyway with gloss. Therefore, I don’t get too hung up on glosses lasting longer than that. But that might just be me…

The new doe foot gets a perfect amount of product for application and is efficient but still precise.

Also worth noting is another Chantecaille spring goodie – Waterproof Eye Liner Pencil in Storm. At first, I was confused by the low impact of this grey. But upon application, it actually gets darker. This might be just the ticket for an understated spring eye.

Spring Color on FOX23’s Great Day Green Country

It is Friday and you know what that means… I’m back on Great Day Green Country and it is time to ring in spring. After a frigid and icy weekend, we have 60s and 70s for the next four or five days (yes, there is a patio in my near future – likely around happy hour today). And what better way to celebrate the warmer weather than some spring shades. Today, I am rounding up the six products to warm things up on your vanity:

Jouer Gems

My love affair with Jouer continues. Their fall launch was catchy with an emphasis on “finding your red” and creamy, luxurious lipsticks reviewed here. Two more products from the collection also won me over. Today, I am sharing these precious beauties with you:

A new shade of Jouer’s Lip Gloss, Monaco, is a brilliant but sheer coral red. The juicy pop of color is perfect for those who don’t want the commitment of a lipstick. There is no scent to the formula and it is highly moisturizing. There isn’t a crazy long wear time, but I don’t really expect it with lip gloss. And this vessel is so cute, I don’t mind whipping it out every now and then.

Also part of the fall collection, this set of liquid shimmer eye liners are surprisingly wearable. Panther is a rich onyx and Leopard is a bronzed chocolate. But I actually surprised myself loving Lynx, a golden olive green. This smooth formula is a breeze to apply with the precise and dainty brush. The pigment is long-wearing but doesn’t dry so quickly you can fix mistakes. I like layering them over black liner for a little pop.
