FAVORITE GLOSS?

I went shopping at the new Sephora store today, thanks to my sweet boyfriend giving me a gift card. It's been a while since I've shopped for makeup, which strange. Ever since I knew what makeup was I was putting it on my dolls since my mother would not let me wear it myself. I use to spend every dime I had on nail polish, lipsticks and glittery things. It seems in recent years my appreciation for makeup has dropped off mainly do to the fact that I started wearing my glasses more often as my eyes got more and more irritated from wearing contacts. Lately though, I've gone back to wearing my contacts more, which has once again opened myself to eye grooming (Mascara, brows, shadow, liner etc). My most treasured items though have always been my lip glosses. If I use to forget my gloss before my shift in retail I would run down to the pharmacy to buy a new one straight away. Many glosses have gone and gone from my purse, but some have stuck around longer then others.

SOME OF THE GLOSSES I'VE TRIED

1. Lancome Juicy tubes - I got my first tube from uncles wife for free that use to work at the Lancome counter. It was a small size, but I was immediately impressed by the nice consistency and glitter flecks.

2. M.A.C. Lip Glass - This one let me down. I got it because I wanted to know what all the hype was about surrounding it, only not to be as impressed. Though it was glossy, I found the consistency way to thick and sticky. The worst two things that can happen to a gloss!

3. Lip Lites - My first ever lipgloss/lipstick, it's been years since I used it, but I remember always being put off by the candy smells.


4. Rimmel Vinyl Lip- One of the first good clear glosses that I found, it had a good smooth consistency and it wasn't too sticky.

5. Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss - Very glossy! I only got this one recently, the sales clerk warned me not to buy it in chocolate, but I did anyway and regretted it. I never used that particular one again. I did also buy the clear mint one, which is too minty and makes my lips hurt for a second. They seem to have gone overboard on the flavoring/scents.

6. Sephora Lip Gloss - I bought this one today, I was debating between that one and the Clinique one. I ended up leaving the Clinique gloss behind because I didn't quite like the shade. At 18$ the Sephora one wasn't cheap, but when I got home and tired it on I was impressed. It had good color, texture and it wasn't sticky. For a color lipgloss this is probably one of the better ones I've tried. I find it strange how expensive the Sephora brand stuff is here. When I was in Paris it was so cheap, shadow was like 5 Euros or something.
