Lip Gloss Review

December 27, 2007 on 10:32 am | In Product & Catalog Reviews |

Lustrous lipped ones,

PeaceBang confesses to a serious lip gloss addiction, which she figures is pretty harmless in the larger scheme of things. She is always looking for that perfect gloss: something with good enough coverage to wear alone, long-lasting but not too gooey, emollient but not too thick. It cannot taste like bubble gum. It cannot cost more than $10 (unless it’s a Mac Lacquer, an occasional splurge worth every penny). Her favorite shade is one that enhances the color of her favorite stay-put lipcolor (say it with me now, class, “COVER GIRL OUTLAST ALL DAY LIPCOLOR IN BLUSH PEARL” — now tragically defunct but which PeaceBang has stockpiled and which should last her until at least 2009).

So first, Revlon Lip Glide.
This is a product that you should definitely acquire if you enjoy having a mouth that tastes and smells like a petroleum factory; this stuff is poisonous goo, girlfriends! revlon-lip-glide.jpg Yuck! What PeaceBang won’t suffer for you, honestly!

But ahhhh, this little beauty by Sally Hansen is just lovely.

I bought it in “antique bronze” and it’s a great product. It goes on with a little brush, stays on over my CoverGirl Outlast All Day, and smells very slightly of candy. The packaging is cute and the price point low enough that you can keep one in your purse and one at home (or in the glove compartment).

The verdict: Thumbs up for Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment. Thumbs way down for Revlon Lip Glide.
Lifetime Achievement: Mac Lip Lacquer.

  2. I have no interest in lip gloss…it just doesn’t look right with my goatee!

    So this is mostly a way of saying “Welcome back.”

  3. I am so glad you came back. I found your site during your hiatus and was afraid you wouldn’t start posting again. Life has a way of happening like that :)

  4. So glad you’re back! I kept checking! Take care of yourself. . .
    On lipgloss: I’m too lazy and pregnant to get up and dig mine out, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Burt’s Bees colored little lip gloss. It’s like their chapstick which tastes great and stays on for a long time, but has color. I think these cost under $10, but I’ve gotten mine (um, about 5 now) mostly as stocking stuffers! I really recommend them.
    I have one of the Revlon ones that you dissed. I agree it doesn’t taste great, but it goes on and stays on nicely (I was at a wedding yesterday in black and white polka dots with red lips, thanks to that Revlon gloss - got lots of compliments!).

  5. I’m a big fan of CoverGirl WetSlicks, especially “Patently pink”. Doesn’t feel gross and doesn’t scream “HEY! LOOK! I have stuff on my lips! Aren’t I pretty!?”

    I have other lipsticks for when I want to do that ;)
