I already reviewed a lovely deep plum lipstick from L'Oreal Paris - Arabian Night. I have two more products from the L'Oreal Paris Cannes collection to share with you. Today I'm sharing the L'Oreal Paris Extraordinaire Lip Gloss in Coral Encore (202).

Tip and Toes Liquishine Lip Gloss – Jane - Review

A lipgloss freak is what I would like to call my self these days. I feel like collecting all that is available out there!

Just kidding, but yeah I do have a lot of lip glosses already and yet I got another one. This is Liquishine Lipgloss by Tips and Toes. And what draws you is the packaging and the gorgeous shade.

Tip and Toes Liquishine Lip Gloss – Jane

The liquishine lipgloss costs Rs 375 and has a cute little applicator tip.

Tip and Toes Liquishine Lip Gloss – Jane

The shade Jane is a light coral peach shade with a hint of shimmer. The shade looks lovely on my medium skin tone and should look even prettier on fairer skins. I personally feel this shade would look great on all skin tones and anyone who likes shimmer glosses in coral should try this out.

What all products are giving their final examinations?

Strange title for a blog post? Well not really. You know how we all try out so many different products and then finally declare whether the product is a hit or a miss – well from a products point of view it really is giving an examination! Whether the product fares well or not determines the kind of grades it gets. While some top the class with excellent marks there are some which lack in a subject or other and hence don’t fare well.

So while some of you out their have ended their examinations before Christmas these products are waiting to clear the exams set by yours truly! And who all are sitting in these examinations – lets find out.

What's On My Lips - Icing Frosty Pink Lip Gloss - Review

Second post in the seires - what's on my lips - is a post on a lip gloss that I have a love/hate relationship with. The lip gloss is from Claire's ICING. I have earlier reviewed an Icing lipgloss here.The current one I'm reviewing is frosty pink shade.

Icing Lip Gloss Frosty Pink

ProductThe Icing lip gloss Frosty Pink is a thick textured lipgloss. It comes in a small rectangular cubiod packaging. The packing also has a mirror strip on one side which makes application easier if you are travelling.The applicator is a good quality sponge tip applicator which gives smooth even application.

Icing Lip Gloss Frosty Pink

My ExperienceI mentioned that I have a love hate relationship with this gloss. The love comes from the facet that I really like the packaging which is travel friendly - the applicator gives smooth results and the mirror strip comes in very handy. The problem lies with the color itself. The color is a frosty pink shade which is very suitable for light skinned girls. Unfortunately I have a wheatish skin tone and if I apply a thick layer of this it looks as if I've got some lip disease - lips become too disco shiny pink!

Icing Lip Gloss Frosty Pink - sponge tip applicator

But I still love it because a thin layer makes my lips look pretty pink.Pigmentation is decent enough even with one coat. It hides the uneven tone of the lips and makes them look healthy. If you are fair skinned this would look really good on you even if you apply a thick coat.The texture of the gloss is thicker than some of the other glosses I have reviewed earlier but its very moisturising.The staying power of the gloss is about 2 hours if you don't eat or drink. Drinking a glass of water or a cup of tea is surely going to get this gloss stain on your cup. But I won't say that is a drawback as most glosses I have tried do not stand upto the drink or food test.Swatches

What I don't like

• more suited to fairer skin tones

Faces Glam on Lip Gloss - Review

I am a big fan of lip gloss. In fact till about 2 years ago my kitty only had glosses (and one lipstick!)
The lip gloss to me has to be shiny, moisturizing and have a fruity fragrance and/or taste I keep trying different glosses even though the previous ones are not yet over. I will try and review the older ones too but for today I am going to review a lip gloss from Faces Canada.

My local grocery shop stocks a lot of nice cosmetics and I had seen the Faces brand stocked up there. Most of the products they had were bath products. But I knew the brand had surely arrived in India.
That is when I decided to give their lip gloss a try. The gloss comes in a plastic packaging with a brush tip applicator.

Faces Glam On Lip Gloss 

The company claims “Easy to apply, high shine lip gloss, vanilla flavored (yum!). For the technically minded, it's the high Percentage of CCT (Caprylic Capric Triglycerides) which makes it so easy to apply, gives uniform coverage and makes your lip feel perfect. Let your lips do the talking!!”

Now for the gloss –
