Yesterday, while walking in Midtown enjoying the beautiful, yet kinda weird mild weather, I quickly became enthralled by the SUPER SALE signs posted in the windows of The Body Shop. Taken by the sweet scents that consistently pour out of the bath & body store, I rushed in hoping to catch fabulous end-of-the-season sales and I did!
After looking through throngs of undesirable holiday scented lathers and lotions, I was overjoyed to find a cute jar of tinted lip gloss/balm for only $3.
Once I applied the cranberry-colored lacquer to my lips, I immediately began contemplating whether or not I should try other brands of potted glosses/balms. Prior to this purchase, I wasn’t a fan of lip treatments that require using fingers or a brush to apply. Since I’m pleasantly surprised with my new gloss/balm I just might give a few other glosses/balms in a jar a try!

Somehow nice glossy lips seems to look nice on everyone but me 🙁
But hey, maybe I will give one of the “pot o’ gloss” that you mentioned a try.
The Lacome one looks like it tastes good.
That probably sounded weird but I like glosses that have a good flavor.

meme, you’re not alone. Glossy lips just don’t work for me either. I don’t mind though because I don’t like the feeling of lip gloss. I feel like I need to wipe my mouth constantly!
afrodite…hilarious, but I know what you mean! 🙂
Gurl you are really Cute, Good Post 😉
I would use lip gloss on a train. I would use lip gloss in the rain. I would use lip gloss in a car, and I would definitely use lip gloss from a jar…LOL! I know it was corny, but why not?
I am a great lover of lip balm and the Body Shop do some great ones as do Lush. I also love my lip gloss and my favourite is the one by MAC.
I’m a lip gloss girl, and I really liked the lip glosses you picked out (especially Nars Lip Gloss and Carol’s Daughter Lip Balm).
First pot gloss I have tried was Lancome Juicy Gel & loved it! Picked mine up at outlet mall discount cosmetics store for 3 bucks. Great bargain and wish I had purchased more than one! Getting ready to buy more since it is the BEST gloss I have ever put on my lips…satisfied completely with Lancome!
