They're cute. They're convenient. They're beauty products you can clip onto your keychain.
I like when lip gloss comes in a wand with a brush at the tip of the applicator. Even though it can get bacteria in it the same way that mascara can, it doesn't open in your bag and you don't have to dip your (possibly germy) finger in it to apply. This is the reason I wanted to try
Sally Hansen Lipnotic Gem Gloss ($6.99), but with claims like "creates a look of glittery gems under glass" and provides "hypnotic color," I was skeptical.
You don't need to endure painful injections to achieve a nice, full lip. You don't necessarily need a lip plumping product, either. Makeup artists rely on tried and true tips to help their clients pump up the volume, and I've got a few of them to share.
We've already had a sneak peek at the
Fall 2008 Python Collection from Giorgio Armani Beauty, but get ready for Lip Wax ($26) this September. These six highly pigmented lip colors are intended to be applied with your fingers. They can be worn on your cheeks and lips and have a matte finish.
If coveting a product is sin, lock me away forever! Senna Cosmetics released a two-in-one lip gloss and lipstick product called
Lip Sync ($24) a few weeks ago. These glossy, creamy, and shimmery tubes have my heart going pitter-patter and my eyes wide with excitement.
