What is the most that you would pay for a lip gloss?

I had a debate with a co-worker a while back about how much is too much to pay for lip gloss.

My motto is "If it looks good and it's flattering.. buy it!"

But there is a limit.. Mine is $20.00...with tax..LOL

Some may say that's too much or too little.. but I want to hear what you have to say.

What is the most that you would pay for lipgloss?

Update: Growing out the bangs, Pinky Nude lips + Week long blog series :D

These pics were taken at 12 am! LOL.. I went to the salon today for some hair TLC. I got a deep steam treatment...which my hair need badly. 

This time I didn't cut my bangs..I think I'm going to grow them out.

I havent blogged since Wednesday! I apoligize but I wanted to gear up for my week long blog series which starts tomorrow :D

Yay!! These blog post will lead up to valentines day. Whether you celebrate it or not.. these post can just be an inspiration to try something new. I know someone is wondering what the hell I am talking about! You will just have to wait and see until tomorrow :)

I know someone will ask, my top was only $10 from H&M. I love it..reminds me of a vintage piece. In other words my grandma probably had one just like it LOL! I know you cant see the whole thing so I'll do an OOTD with it soon :)

The Pinky nude lip I'm wearing is the Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip shine. I got it at Dollar Tree for a dollar of course. I could kick myself for not buying a few back ups! The color is gorgeous and the price is RIGHT!

Look out for my Valentines Day inspired posts starting tomorrow! Please support it and leave a comment if you can <3

Also I want to say hi to my new followers *wave* I want to get to know you! Say hi and if you have a blog you can leave your URL in this post for me to check out!

NYX Chocolate Mega Shine Lipgloss Swatch in Chocolate

Ive always been an NYX fan but I never tried anything other than the shadows. At IMATS I decided to pick up a few things. One of the first glosses I got was NYX Chocolate Mega Shine Lipgloss in Chocolate.

This lip gloss is scented...so if you don't like scent glosses stay away from this one. Also its very pigmented so a lot goes a LONG way!

Here is a hand & lip swatch:

Since this lippy has a slight frost, It looks amazing with a smokey eye! So far Im satisfied with this gloss and I definitely want to try more.

Would you wear this gloss? Also what other NYX products should I try out?

FACEatelier Lip Glaze Swatch in Shiraz- Perfect for fall

I have received a good amount of requests to see swatches of my IMATS haul. I'm going to start out with one of my favorite lip glosses right now- FACEatelier Lip Glaze in Shiraz.

This glaze was picked out for me personally by the President / CEO Debbie. After our talk about their gorgeous lipstick in Revenge, she suggested a glaze to compliment it or wear alone. Click here to check out my lip swatches of Revenge.

Isn't Shiraz such a fab color! This swatch is on bare lips

This is Shiraz layered over a Berry lipstick

So ladies if your searching for a great plum gloss check out FACEatelier.

What do you use to condition your lips?

Fall is officially here! 

For Canadians like myself.. Fall is a precursor to that lovely Winter is approaching.

Canadian winters are intense.

MAC Lustrewhite Lipglass is perfect for all skin tones!

At the last MAC sale I stumbled upon MAC Lustrewhite Lipglass. 

In the bottle it looks intimating but  after swatching I fell in love!

As you can see from my lips its a clear gloss with minimal shimmer. 

Gorgeous.

FOTD + Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Gloss Review

This look is pretty simple but Fab in other words.. sexy librarian...joking:

Annabelle smudgeliner in Ohmygoth!
Marcelle Volume Precision Mascara in black
Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Gloss in Cherryoke

I was recently sent two Annabelle Volumelip Lip Plumping Glosses to try out!

• The lighter color is Sweet Tweet and the darker color is Cherryoke. 
• The applicator is clear and slanted. 
• The tube is hard, so pushing out the product is difficult. (But they currently are changing the tube..woo!)
• The consistency was not thick but moisturizing.
• 5 vibrant different shades.

Annabelle Volume Lip Plumping Gloss in Cherryoke is the lip swatch shown here.

I love it because it's the color of my glasses :) Also it out of my comfort zone... aka not a clear gloss or neutral nude.

If your a WOC who is lost at finding lip shades try a berry tone like this one. Berry tones can easily enhance your complexion!

 The other gloss Cherry Tweet is to light for me.  I could either mix it with Cherryoke or use it as a highligher on my lips.

Overall I like these glosses but I would stick to the dark shades in the collection like Metro Mango, Cherryoke or Vivid Volume. Click here to check out the shades.

I was sent these products to review by Annabelle/Marcelle cosmetics.

Balmshell Cosmetics Review + Swatches

Here is another fab product I got at TBBM from Balmshell.

Balmshell is a cosmetic line developed by Canadian identical twin sisters and self-professed cosmetic junkies Jennifer and Fiona Lees. They followed their passion and created a fun and flirty cosmetic line. Launched in 2006 with their line of signature float art lip-glosses, BALMSHELL cosmetics are paraben free and made from the finest ingredients.

I got 1 full-sized lipgloss and 3 sample sized glosses.

SHOPAHOLIC: Sheer Classic Soft Baby Pink 

I included flash and no flash pictures for you all to see the amazing colors.

Each gloss comes with signature float art!
Shopoholic's float art story:

This is a story of a woman who is incurably addicted to shopping. She slides into a boutique just to pick up a few small things. When she comes out, the store's doorman struggles to carry all of her parcels, while her limo awaits. Sadly, there is no known medical treatment for this addiction.

LOL! Minus the doorman and limo that me!

I love how the float art can be screwed off and used as a keychain. Now I can find my car keys in my purse :)

YUMMY MOMMY: Light Mocha Brown

 This gloss is my absolute favorite because it's such a great nude. Look how moisturize my lips are :)

WEEKEND IN THE HAMPTONS: Sheer Taupe Sandy Beige

DARLING YOU LOOK FABULOUS: Sheer Hot Cherry Red

These glosses are buildible & pigmented. They also have a pleasant vanilla - mint scent.
