New blog. New Gloss.

Hi, My name is Mary and I am a lipgloss addict. I've recently been put on some "rest" (as much as possible with a toddler) after going into preterm labor with our second child. I thought it would be fun to start a new blog about my adventures with lip gloss.

Since this is the first blog I am going to start at the top. Today I bought my first "Chanel Glossimer". It is 28.50 at retail stores and if you check the internet sites, like Ebay, before you buy, you will find out that they sell on there for over 10 dollars. More than retail stores, and that might not include shipping.

I have been wanting to try one of these for a long time, but haven't had the means to do so. After one of my friends took me to a department store that sold MAC, it opened my eyes to a whole new world. I usually just buy lip gloss at a regular store like Wal-mart or Walgreens, but after going to a department store, I know better now. Let me just say that you don't know the best until you try the best. I have many lip glosses and ever since that trip, I have tried Clinique, Lancome, and of course, my new Chanel. Each one keeps getting better, but by far Chanel is the most amazing. Probably because its the most expensive. Even though Lancome lip glosses only goes for 2 dollars less(I did not pay full price for mine though). That would also explain why Lancome comes in Second. A VERY close second. We will get to those other lip glosses in another post. One at a time people.

Below is my new Glossimer in "Pink Peony". I have to say I have NEVER put something like this on my lips, but I am sure most of you are saying, "It better be good for 28.50." And I would agree with you! You might think, "O I can get a lip gloss like this anywhere." No you can't. Like I said you don't know the best until you have tried the best. The way this lip gloss hugs your lips is amazing and it does it without being super sticky. I personally like a sticky lip gloss, but this is the perfect balance. This lip gloss could satisfy everyones needs for a lip gloss no matter how picky the person.

The color is sheer, but to me gives me just enough. The more I write about lip gloss you will found out that I like a very pouty, pink lip color. I don't like too much color because I am the kind of person that wants to wear lip gloss all day, even if I don't go out of the house and have minimal mascara on. I have tried other colors, like coral, and it just doesn't work well with my skin tone. Pink, for me, is the way to go.

When I first put this on, my first thoughts that came to mind is that it was SO moisturizing. Its like a lip balm, but thicker and lasts longer. I have a lot of issues with my lips drying out when I am pregnant and this made them soft, like butter in just one application. If you had or wanted to splurge on yourself. Maybe buy yourself some new make-up? Try this gloss. I would certainly give this gloss a five out of five star rating.
