Can't wait to get my lips on this

Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss...amazing colors: think grape, rose, brick, magenta....I have been hearing raves about the formula. I am heading to Sephora this weekend and I am sure will be adding a few of these to my ever-expanding collection of glosses.

Answer: Celebrity Lips

It's Katherine Heigl! Know for Knocked Up, Grey's and now the Ugly Truth. Now while I might find this gal annoying, I do this she is stunning. BUT--not with that dirty dishwater hair and NOT with those pale lips. I would have loved for her to done a bright lip. What about you? Do you like her look, or wish she would have punched it up?

Get Pink'd


Love this. At Sephora right now, you can buy deluxe samplers of Sephora's Favorites. As soon as I saw the one full of pink lip glosses and lipsticks I couldn't resist! Only $37 a pop and you will truly have everything you need to pink your pout. It is truly a great way to try out some different products without committing to a full tube.

This set contains:
- 0.34 oz Laura Geller Lip Strip. A wonderful peperminty scrub for your lips. I love lip scrubs!
- 0.1 oz DuWop Prime Venom. Feels just like the gloss, same tingle, but in a balm. Love it.
- 0.0676 oz Korres Cherry Oil Lip Gloss in Fuschia, a bright pink gloss that goes on fairly sheer. Very pretty.
- 0.23 oz Sephora Super Shimmer in Think Pink. Pink, sutble shimmer. Perfect.
- 0.02 oz Stila Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain. This one I could live without. It is hard to control the color in the classic Stila twist tube. I prefer Vincent Longo Stains...
- 0.1 oz Smashbox O-Gloss, I have been putting off trying this for about a year now. BUT--I must admit I am impressed. This gloss starts off clear and turns into a light pink that is perfect on lips.
- 0.09 oz ck Calvin Klein Lipstick in Mesmerize, Holy fuschia! This is not for the lipstick faint of heart. Very bright, but I would love it for a night out with a LBD. Great formuala!
- 0.26 oz Urban Decay Lipstick in Jilted. I am on the fence about this color. It looks okay, the formual is okay...nothing too special.
- 0.17 oz ck Calvin Klein Plumping Gloss in Bloom. Love this. Beautiful! The name says it all. makes your lips look like a lovely flower bloom.

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.
