Too Faced Mood Swing - colour changing lip gloss
The idea of makeup that changes colour according to your mood is something I can't quite get my head around. I mean, what if you were in a bad mood all day at work, and everyone knew about it because of the colour of your lip gloss? Or what if your "happy" colour clashed horribly with your hair?
It's a strange idea, and one which I think probably has more of a novelty factor than a practical use, but if you think it's something you'd like to try out, Too Faced's Mood Swing, according to the blurb on the Sephora website: " starts off crystal clear and blossoms into countless shades of pink from cotton candy to deep fuchsia, depending on the wearer's emotional state." Which, I have to admit, sounds absolutely fascinating to me. And, with that, I think I've just talked myself into picking one up at the next possible opportunity. If you want to try it too, it's $18.50 at Sephora.
I know it has its detractors, but I'm still a loyal fan of Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream (and so is Mr Dollface, actually, who stole it from me earlier this year when he scraped his hands renovating our kitchen), so these Sheer Lip Tints sound like a great idea to me. 
I've yet to try any of Eyeko's products, although I have to say, the affordable prices and cutesy packaging has definitely earned them a place on my 
The Body Shop has teamed up with Women’s Aid for the 4th year to launch the 2008 ‘Stop Violence in the Home’ campaign to increase awareness, raise funds for the national domestic violence charity and help put a stop to domestic violence. 
This is a product I'd like to try purely because of the consistency. I've never used a "spongy" lipstick before and I can't really imagine what the benefits of one would be, but it sounds like it might feel nice - or different anyway - and that's a good enough reason for Dollface.
Anyone seen Avon's new TV ads starring Reese Witherspoon? In them, Reese is walking along like the busy little bee she undoubtedly is, and managing to apply her lipstick at the same time, thanks to 
NARS Orgasm. It's ever-popular as a blusher, and now you can grab it for your lips and nails too, courtesy of Sephora, who are selling this limited edition set for $30.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm broke. While browsing for budget cosmetics, though, I was surprised to find a few great deals on not-so-budget brands, too. Too Faced's Lip Injection Mask, for instance, is currently just £6.95 at 
Given that I'm such a Benefit junkie, and a Doctor Feelgood fan to boot, I'm hanging my head in shame right now as I admit that, up until today, I had absolutely no idea that there was a version of the good doctor's treatment for lips. 
Yes, it's yet another in what's becoming a long, long line of lip glosses that taste like food - or in this case, drinks. This is Bonne Belle's Lip Smacker lip gloss in Dr Pepper flavour, so if you love that slightly sickly taste in a drink, you can have it on your lips all day long. 
This week I've been trying out
OK, so "a lipgloss that makes you thin" is probably pushing it a little because we all know that no mere lipgloss can actually make you lose weight (and if it could. they'd be charging a helluva lot more than $18.50 for it), but Too Faced are claiming that their 
I'd heard good things about 
That 
Yes, I'm still on the hunt for a product that will give me lips like Angelina Jolie. This time, though, I'm trying something a little bit different...and something that actually seems to work, too.
Despite the multitude of lipglosses I've tried out for this site (it's a hard job, but someone has to do it), I'm not much of a lip gloss girl. It's just too sticky for someone like me, whose long hair seems to be constantly stuck to her mouth when she wear it, to get on with, so as much as I love the look of glossy lips, for myself, I tend to stick to lipstick. 
My lips are my problem area. Well, one of them, anyway. Every winter - and some summers, too - they'll get all dry and flaky, and because of my charming habit of nibbling at them when I'm stressed (I'm putting such a great image into your minds here, aren't I?) the problem seems to get worse with each passing day. 
Although I'm more of a lipstick lover than a gloss girl, I have to admit to a certain fondness for Lancome's Juicy Tubes. They're just so moreish: buy one, you'll want to buy them all, and if that's the case, the latest line to add to your collection is the Sparkling Night Ultra Shiny Gloss. 
I think I may just have died and gone to heaven - a heaven where lip balm tastes like Ben & Jerry's ice cream, meaning that you get all that fabulous, sugary flavour without any of the associated calories. Mmmm! Of course, my problem, as with all cosmetics that taste/smell like food, will be preventing myself from actually eating this stuff, and I'd strongly advise you to keep it out of the reach of little people, pets and anyone else who might find it just a little bit too tempting, but if you think you can control yourself, it costs £3.99 per tub.
What could be more festive than Egg Snog - I mean Egg Nogg? Not a whole lot, and this seasonal lip balm by Lush claims to actually taste like eggnogg too, with some Cinnamon and lemon thrown in for good measure. There's also more nourishing butter than you could shake a stick at, including Ghanaian shea butter, cocoa butter, murmuru butter and natural moisturising oils, all of which combine to leave your lips shiny but not sticky, the claim goes. Perfect for snogging, in other words.... 
Now, I'm not going to lie to you: as lip balms go, this isn't a great one, especially when you take into consideration how much it costs. ($20, since you ask). It's not particularly moisturising, and it does indeed give a natural "rosy glow", like the website says, as opposed to full-on colour.
