Lip Gloss


Recommended Posts

So I've liked the Milani brand for the most part. Haven't really tried their foundations and blush but I'm a sucker for their eyeshadows and liners.

The other day they had a sale on these Lip Mixers and I gave it a shot. I bought 703 Lip Stir. They have three color layers that you mix together. When mixed this one is like a pinky nude color. Very nice.

The shine is amazing on it. It lasts for a long time. When you first apply it, it does feel a bit sticky until it levels out and wears off a bit. Once it does it lasted for a good few hours before I felt the need to reapply it.

The colors that are offered aren't a huge selection, but they're pretty.

Oh and the flavor is almost a light candy taste. Very yummy. At least to me.

I use Guerlain KissKiss Gloss in Figue Plaisir, it has a violet scent and a nice feel, never pasty or sticky. I also use Chanel Levres Scintillantes in Equinoxe, with either, your lips always get a conditioning feel after and during use. I'll have to look into the Milani brand you mentioned.

The Milani mineral foundation is an absolute staple in my makeup kit!!! Try it-- you will NEVER go back to a liquid or creme!!!

I use it combined with Max Factor PanStik (another product I swear by, as it's tried and true!), which I use as a spot concealer.

I was looking at that. It just seems like it's pretty decent. Also, Maybelline's Mineral Power Liquid Foundation is getting some pretty big kudos from Allure Magazine. I love L'Oreal HIP shadows, too. Amazing stuff.

However, I fully intend to pay the $28 to get the new Yves St Laurent Black lip gloss. Ohhhh yeah.....

Speaking of black lip colour, do you know if there such a thing as the stay-on stuff in black, Brenda? I only wear this type of lipstick, as anything else only lasts two minutes on me!

I currently use the Revlon ColorStay brand, but I've been secretly wishing for a similar product in black!! Alas, I haven't been able to find any brand which makes it!!

HELP, O Great Beauty Guru!!!!! :p

I too love high end stuff. But I also like to find things on the cheaper end of things :) With as much money as I blow on my makeup addiction, I need to find ways to at least spend less. Or get more for my money!

I haven't tried their nail polish though. Have to look into that. Ive started to do my nails again.

Not yet, sadly. It appears that the beauty industry is SLOWLY discovering what WE knew all along: that black IS beautiful, and not just in mascara and eyeliner!

As a manicurist, it's killing me to know that as of 1/26, I can't wear nail polish due to school rules....grrrrr.....

The best thing I have found Jinnxy is THIS. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MIX IT WITH ANYTHING ELSE LOL. :happy:

Edited to say: I don't know why the link isn't working. The product is called Lipmix, and yes, IT comes in BLACK!!! =)

Is that the MAC LipMix? If so, yeah...you totally can't pair anything up with it. Which means it will be DRY. It's designed to mix with other colors to make it darker. By itself, it doesn't feel good.

I wonder if the silicone topcoat which comes with the stay-on lipcolour would work? Has anyone tried this over a dry lip pigment? I'm going to test this out with my BareMinerals eyeshadow later.. ;)

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
