Bath and Body Works Cool Coconut lipgloss

BBW Cool Coconut lipgloss - partial sun / flash

Today's quick post is on Bath and Body Works Cool Coconut lipgloss.  As BBW always does, this was released in conjunction with their summer scents collections.  These glosses can be purchased at BBW for $10.50 USD, but can combined with the buy 2, get 1 free promotion.  The gloss comes in a plastic tube with flat, doe foot applicator.  You get .2fl.oz/6ml of gloss in this tube.

Cool Coconut is an emollient gloss chock full of glitter.  The formula base itself is a really nice, balmy gloss.  It feels very cushiony, but with the addition of the glitter, it has a slighty gritty feeling too.  The nice thing about this is that it is microfine glitter...no huge chunks of glitter ending up anywhere else!

This was the one out of the three glosses for this particular range that had the most pigmented base.  On the swatch, it reads a clear bronze, whereas on lips it reads more burnished gold that is just lovely.  I did like that the base wore nicely for around 3 hours before I had to reapply.  Once the gloss wears off, you are left with glitters.  I did not find these to be drying even when the base wore off.  Although you do get that gritty feeling from the left over glitter.

I rarely purchase any of the glosses offered by Bath and Body Works, but after this purchase, I will definitely research the colors and buy again!

Thanks for stopping by!

NYX Xtreme Lip Cream - Strawberry Jam

NYX Xtreme Lip Cream - Strawberry Jam

Yes.  Beautiful summer sun.  Bright colors...yes please!

Here I have NYX's Xtreme Lip Cream in Strawberry Jam.  NYX calls this a hybrid between a lipstick, lipgloss and a stain.  I agree with aforementioned descriptors.  This is a encased in a plastic tube with screw top.  Inside is a normal doe foot applicator.

open view - NYX Xtreme Lip Cream Strawberry Jam

This really is a lipstick with lipgloss mixed in with a stain.  This color in particular looks like a reddened, blue based pink mixed with latex.  The shine in this at first application verges on patent leather!  This is very thick and emollient in the beginning.  There is a scent to this that is slightly sweet, not organic, not chemically, not really anything.  Sugary.  This is an extremely opaque gloss, but I do warn you, that the gloss part of this equation is not long lasting.  I have worn this for an 8 hour work day and two things are true in my experience, first shiny, then matte stain.  The shine/moisture factor of this gloss does wear off after a few hours, and it turns into the most beautiful matte lipstain.  I have a few of these lip creams and they are very pigmented.  This has stained my hands, lips.  For those that do not like stains, this may not be for you.  I find that it does remain a bit tacky so that I may rub my lips together, but once set as a stain, does not offer any type of moisture.

Stash Discovery - Prescriptives Lip Polish in ARDOR

Prescriptives Lip Polish in Ardor 14

TA-DA!!!  Why I waited to so long to use this I have no idea!  This is one exceptional little pot of goodness.  One thing you will learn about me is that I am all about a bright lip.  Reds especially.  Most of my lip products are red, red toned...you get the idea.  I had purchased this at beautyticket.com a few years back when they were selling makeup (when did they go all skincare on us?).

This gloss is enclosed in a plastic, screw top style jar.  The jar itself is frosted plastic and the top is clear so you can see the product.  I believe this was already out of stores when I scored it on beautyticket.  Here is this lovely gloss for your enjoyment!

This pot is filled with a slightly thick, slightly sticky, gorgeously sheer gloss.  It has a nice cling to the lips and the stick helps it last throughout its wear time.  My favorite way of wearing this is over any matte red lipstick or red lipstain.  Once this wears away, it leaves behind a semi shiny, light red stain.  I consider this to be a true red.  I really do wish I would have gotten more of these when I could find them, but alas...I did not.  The pot itself has lasted quite awhile without the product changing or going rancid.

Thanks for looking everyone :)
