So read & give us your feedback and as always Happy Shopping!
So we have 4 glosses that we use everyday. Working in an environment with children my make-up has to be toned down and definitely has to be something that lasts. I can't spend my day touching up my lips. So here are my for must haves! 1.Loreal lip gloss 2.Stila Lip Wand 3.C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint & 4.Rosebud Lip Salve.
The first gloss is by L'Oreal. It is the Colour Riche lip gloss. It is #220 Rich Rose. I like this color because it is very subtle and glides on smoothly. I love the fact that it is not over shiny. It's also perfect when you want to carry it in your pocket since the size is only 23 fl. oz. I like to put it on when I am ready to go home. Or if I'm meeting someone after work. Even thought it has all these great aspects to it, it doesn't last as long as I would like it to. =( It last the max 2-3 hrs. But at a $7.99 price I think it is still worth having.
The next lip gloss is one of our favorites! It is the Stila lip glaze. In Banana Berry. Now these are a little on the pricey side, but I think worth the money. The regular size 0.08 fl. oz. cost $22. The one I have I bought @Ulta. I got them at a deal of 3 for $15, but the sizes are smaller at 0.05 fl. oz. & with their Ulta coupons we paid less than $15. Now when you first try these you have to find out how many clicks before your gloss comes out. Too little twists & no gloss and too many and too much! Now the one thing I have to say is that the color lasts all day. And I did count the hrs. a full 8! The only pet peeve that I have and I don't know if my environment plays a role in it is that even though my lips have this beautiful soft color, my lips are dry. Not to the point where they are chapped, but you can feel when your lips are dry. So I put a little chapstick before I apply my gloss and it works perfectly. I just can't get over the fact that the color lasts. That's why it's expensive cause it lasts and definitely worth having 1 pricey gloss in your collection.
Now the last product we are writing about is our all time favorite and use until it is completely gone and used up. And I mean gone! It is Smith's Rosebud Lip Salve. It comes in a little cute round tin and is 0.8 oz. I bought mine at Sephora for $6. I have also found it at Barneys, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters for the same price. Now many people are going to say they don't like rose scented balm. This salve has a hint of the rose scent. And man oh man does it do wonder for your lips. The other great thing is that this not only work on your lips but it can be used to heal dry skin, yep I use it on my hands, elbows or any other dry patch I might have. It helps with diaper rash, blemishes, detergent burns, rough cuticles, and softens rough hands! Yep it does it ALL! It says it on the bottom of the tin. This is definitely in my drawer at work and always in my bag. If you don't care for gloss or lipstick this lip salve is definitely the one thing you need!

Now every girl is going to know this gloss. We all buy it when we buy our lotions, body wash, or other relaxing luxury at Bath and Body Works. This is the C.O. Bigelow Mentha lip Tint in #1644 Pink Mint. It is 0.5 oz. Now they normally retail at a price of $7.50 but I bought mine at a deal of 3 for $15 and also had a coupon. So less than $15! They are also small and slim that they fit in your pocket so you can carry them with you anywhere. These are great but the thing that bothers me is that they don't last! You have to keep reapplying and it may be because your drinking something or plain and simple you can't stop licking your lips because it tastes so good. Admit it cause I've unconsciously have done that. Anyway they are great to use when you ate something and don't have a mint or candy. It is something I wear only when I'm running errands or even if I want a little shine when I go to the gym. It's always in my bag.Either way it's still a great product at a great price!

So these are our favorite glosses for Spring. Remember the color should be based on where your going to use it the most so you don't end up with a color you barely use or decide it's not right for you. That's why we always stick to neutrals, because of where we work and what we do everyday. Not that we don't have a couple of sexy or bold colors in our collection but this is where we get the most out our money from these four glosses. Remember to leave any comments or suggestions we are more than open to trying new products. Til' next time!
