Obsession Du Jour: MAC Lip Gelee 5.25.10

Okay, so I have been on a lip product kick lately. I went to the MAC store recently and a picked up a few items, one that I have been reaching for daily is MAC's Lip Gelee in Gemshine. Gemshine is a nude colored gloss with a very refined bronze shimmer.



I never took notice of MAC's Lip Gelee's before and I am upset, because now they are discontinued and I love them. They come in a squeeze tube and are completely stick-free! :) Totally not sticky and smooth. I am so crushin' on the shimmer and gloss they give the lips. They make your lips so SHINY but not sparkly, its a very ultra fine shimmer. It is a very sheer wash of nude with bronze shimmer. I don't think these will impart any color on pigmented lips. They are not meant to be pigmented glosses. And yes, they have the distinct vanilla smell to them, which I am a huge fan of. If you don't like that smell I would advise to shy away from these. I love how the application is goof proof due to the squeeze tube applicator.



I am disappointed that I didn't try these out until now. Oh well, I will make it my personal mission to snap up as many as these as I can. They are fabulous to throw in any bag and slick on. No mirror needed!

Who has tried? Who loves it? Who Hates it?

Red Lip Du Jour 6.27.09

You all know I only do Nude and Baby Pink lips. I wanted to try out the Illamasqua intense ligloss. WOW! That is about all I can say about this gloss. Gorgeous red, almost perfect red for me. Shiny, Glossy, Pigmented, Almost Opaque, Great Innovative Packing. Huge Win in my book. See for yourself. I am almost convinced on wearing red lips and that is saying A LOT!

There is an odd reflection.

Looks like Dorothys Ruby Slippers with MAC's Dazzleglass in Goldyrocks over.

What do you all think of red lips?

I am sure you all know what today is, the Double Dazzle Collection release!
I for one, of course, went right over to my local MAC store and got these pretty little glittery bad boys.
Below are swatches on my hand from top to bottom are: Moth to a flame, GoldyRocks, BabySparks then Like Venus.
And here they are on the ledge in the sunlight, you can get a glimse of how glittery and sparkley they really are!

I did swatches on my lips, but I hate to say they all look pretty similar. Here they are for reference anyway in order of Moth to a flame, Like Venus, GoldyRocks, and BabySparks:
