I love finding a lip gloss that feels good and wears long. Too often, I find that stains make my lips look like prunes and glosses wear off all too quick.
For a lip gloss that looks gorgeous and stays on, try Smashbox Limitless Lip Gloss. I’ve recommended this gloss to many brides and bridesmaids who want that polished, pop of color without having to constantly reapply during their photos. For even longer wear, try Smashbox Limitless Lip Stains, which have two tips– a marker-like side with the rich stain, and a balmy top coat to make your lips smooth and comfortable, as well as seal in the color.
Now, when I talk about foundation, you probably understand what I mean when I refer to full coverage, medium coverage, or sheer coverage. Have you given much thought to the coverage of your lipstick/lip gloss? Sheer glosses give just a pop of color, lots of shine, and let your own lips show through. If you like the coverage of lip stick, that full and rich color, but like the texture and shine of lip gloss, a creamy lip gloss like Bare Escentual’s Pretty Amazing Lip Color is sure to turn your head. They have absolutely gorgeous shades that would be perfecto for a holiday party (or any occasion, of course)!
Prices:
Smashbox Limitless Lip Gloss retails for $22, Limitless Lip Stain $23
Bare Escentuals Pretty Amazing Lip Color retails for $16 (pretty good price for a prestige brand, I must say!)
If you like what you see/read, but think the price is a stretch on the wallet (or husband’s wallet, *wink*) then fear not. I love a bargain and my husband and I are really into budgeting and sticking to it! You’ve come to the right girl. This is my first post in my regular series called: If you like this, try this. This series aims to provide comparable alternatives if you can’t afford the product you like.
If you like both the long wear of Smashbox’s Limitless Lip gloss and that rich, creamy color of Bare Escentuals Pretty Amazing Lip Color, you would love….
L'OREAL INFALLIBLE LIP GLOSS!
I am impressed by the longevity of this gloss for the price! It stays well; the color is rich and absolutely as gorgeous as Bare Escentuals (sorry, BE, still love ya); and L'Oreal offers fabulous colors. PRICE: $8.49 at Target.
