Are you ever to old....

So today I was lusting after the new MAC Dazzelgloss from the upcoming Euristocrats II Collection.
The colors are amazing. I stared at swatches and then it hit me. Am I too old to be wearing sparkles in my lipgloss? Now, I am only in mid-20's...but should I break myself of this sparkle habit right now? But, I also do think that MAC does sparkle right with Dazzelgloss.
So, I am seeking your advice!

Give me your opinions, do you think you can ever be too old for sparkles--or is it better left to younger girls?

I just wasted $17.50

I am going to put this under the most disappointing lip product I may have ever purchased.
Patricia Wexler Advanced No-Injection Lip Plumper. I got it at Bath and Bodyworks during their huge sale. But it was still $17.50 and it is still the worst lip plumper I have ever used.
I love lip plumpers, I love the huge, swollen Angelina Jolie look. I like it when my plumper burns and tingles my lips so I know it is working. With this---no burn, no tingle and the only pout I get is from pouting my own lips in disapointment.
This is one product no one should waste their money on. I expected way more from famous dermatologist Pat Wexler's line.

NUDE lips

Nude Skincare is a brand I am new too, I saw it on Beauty.com and just had to try it. I was very drawn in by the dusty pink cube packaging.
What did I get? Nude lips of course! This lip blam contains no parabens, sulphates, PEGs, TEA, DEA, propylene glycol, phthalates, GMO, mineral oil or silicones. Impressive! And it does a good job moisturizing parched lips. I like to use it at night, before bed..it is a little thick for day. And it is kind of hard, so you have to really rub and use the heat from your hands to make it spreadable for your lips. It is a like, not a love. I don't think I will get it again.
Cost: $14.oo

Gloss and Go...that is always how I do it

The Smashbox Gloss and Go Lip Kit is too cute for words. It is 8 mini-sized lipglosses, it says Limited Edition, and I hope they mean the packaging because the colors are fantastic! And when I say mini-sized, I mean miniature. Each gloss is only 2 mL.
Colors are,
Swift: a shimmery blackberry that looks scary in the tube, lovely on lips.
Pronto: a creamy nude. I love this shade over dark lipstick to soften it up.
Zip: another creamy nude, this one is slightly darker than Pronto.
Glide: a sheer nude with gold shimmer. Very pretty.
Go: My favorite of the bunch, a bright sheer coral with gold shimmer.
Rush: a gold shimmer. Not much to it.
Zoom: A sheer bright pink, my second favorite of the bunch. Very summery.
Snappy: A sheer petal pink.

The colors are great, the formula is not too sticky, there is no overwhelming taste or smell.
My only complaint? I wish they were a tad larger!
This set is $29, which is good, because a full sized smashbox lippie will set you back $18
