Lip Love

What girl doesn’t love lip gloss…I myself love, love, love it and have a collection of well over 50 to prove it. But out of all of the lip glosses I have there are only a few tried tested and true...


In no particular order…

The Gloss – C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint/Breath Freshener

Where to Buy – Bath & Body Works

Price - $7.50 or Buy 2 get one free

Details – Comes in a wide range of colours…Bare Mint, Pink Mint, Plum Mint, Violet Mint, Magenta Mint, Coral Mint and Ginger Mint. The formula is smooth and non-sticky with a great mint smell and taste that freshens your breath with every lick of the lips. These lip glosses provide the perfect amount of natural colour and work great over a lip stick.

My Favourite – Ginger Mint and Coral Mint

***New Organic Lip Tint Line now available***

The Gloss – NARS

Where to Buy – Holt Renfrew and Sephora
Price - $24.00
Details – NARS may be a little more expensive but its worth every penny! They have high shine and high pigments with a wide range of colours. The colours are either sheer, creamy or semi sheer. It has a wand applicator which I prefer to a brush and smells and tastes like good makeup should…like nothing but good makeup. They have so many great colours that are let’s say “out of the box” that you are sure to stand out. While you may not fill your makeup bag full of every colour I would say that having at least one in your perfect shade is within the budget.
My Favourite – Turkish Delight (one of their cult classics)
***Exclusive colour (which I can’t wait to try) is Bloodwork – perfect for the holiday season***

The Gloss - Victoria Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

Where to Buy – Victoria Secret and La Senza

Price - $7.50

Details – With 21 shades in the Beauty Rush Lip Gloss line you’re covered no matter what your skin tone/colour preference. They taste and smell great, long lasting and they have that good sticky feel without being too sticky.

My Favourite – A Slice of Heaven and More Mimosa
***Can usually find these glosses for 2 for $12 or 5 for $20***

The Gloss - Philosophy Lip Shine

Where to Buy – Sephora

Price - $13.00

Details – The whole Philosophy line is amazing – it’s loved by celebrities as well as dermatologists (its eye cream has even made it onto Oprah’s Favourite Things). The best thing about this gloss is that it’s made with Sunflower Oil and Vitamin E so it smooth’s and hydrates your lips but also provides the perfect amount of colour.

My Favourite – Bubble Gum and Red Velvet Cake

***Bubble Gum is a limited edition gloss – it’s the perfect girly pink, get it while you can***

The Gloss – Kiehls #1 Balm

Where to Buy – Kiehls Stores (Queen Street, Yonge Street and Yorkdale)

Price - $12.00

Details – Made with Cotton Seed Oil this blam helps to hydrate and sooth lips and also protect against the harsh winds and cold of winter.It also contains Octinoxate which is a popular chemical sunscreen ingredient to help protect from the sun – making this balm perfect for all seasons. It comes in a range of flavours like Mango, Raspberry and Pear just to name a few and trust me they taste true to their fruit. Kiehls #1 Balm is their number one seller and was created in 1969 – anything that’s been around for that long has to be good!

My Favourite – Pear
***The unflavoured lip balm is the number one seller and is just as great as the flavoured ones***
