Lip Glosses of The Week! 5/9-5/30

It's official, guys!  Spring has sprung, and not a moment too soon!  After a cold, rainy start to the season, we're finally opening our windows without fear!  Oh, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and... what??  You're still wearing your winter lip gloss?!  Not so fast!

Our first favorite May gloss in this series comes from an illustrious line called Guerlain.  With three blazing hot neon tones in their new collection "Terracotta - Terra Inca," these colors wrap your lips in pigment-heavy, sparkle-free shine. Our favorite thing about it?  It's totally non-sticky!  (also known as KISSABLE!)  And talk about luminous lips!  The "it" color for us is "Mambo."  Dance the night away in this hot-to-trot burnt-orange glam-shade, senoritas!  Ai ai ai!

But no makeup bag is complete without our second May pick:  Philosophy's "Fresh Peaches With Cream" Lip Shine.  This flavorful treat hydrates deeply while delivering a soft shine and a neutral wash of color. Taste the fresh, sun-ripened peaches and sweet cream; it's a zero calorie dessert you can eat all day, every day - what a fab way to get that beach body!  (And yes, that means you can wear it to the gym too!)

Gloss #3 is a no-brainer, as it comes from the always-hip, always current MAC.  Now this one is especially important to stock up on, since it's a limited edition product.  Ride soft waves of sea-worthy shine with the "Surf, Baby!" Suntint SPF 20 Liquid Lip Balm.  A great defender against sun, wind and salt, never hit the sand without it!  We love the lavender shade, "Lilt of Lily."  Wear it alone or over a lipstain for day-to-night foxiness!

Now here's a decadent treat that will leave you wondering, "Is this stuff for real?"  Introducing the Bare Escentuals "Pretty Amazing" Lip Colors.  You're a busy girl, and when you run out the door in the morning, you don't want to spend a lot of time on your look, but you DO want it to be perfect, from morning til night.  This appropriately-titled new-BFF-to-all-womankind will transform lips with one swipe!  Close your eyes.  Imagine, if you will, the definition of a liner, the pigment of a lipstick, and the silkiness of a gloss.  Now, add the famous bareMinerals natural formula, and you've got something that's... well... Pretty Amazing!  This incredibly long-wearing, highly saturated hue will stay through your coffee, your lunch, your mid-day croissant... just reapply a gloss when the shine dies down, and you've got all-day, no-fuss color.  Are we cheating when we just call this a "Gloss of the Week?"  Well... is it cheating to call J-Lo an awesome singer even though she's an incredible actress, dancer, and model too?  I didn't think so!  Oh and by the way, the one color that every girl needs in her morning routine is "Fearless."  This delicately blue-toned mauve helps to give the illusion of whiter teeth and will be seen in hundreds of prom photos this year - it's the perfect slightly-pink hue for every day, but looks dazzling when paired with a smoky eye.  Trust us, we'll show you!

Thanks for visiting us for this installment of Makeup For Lost Time!  Be sure to stop back soon and check out the hot new spring and summer trends we'll be debuting on our models!  As usual, we'll walk you through the application so that you can recreate them at home!  

Oh, and last but certainly not least, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!  Profound thanks to all our troops, past and present.  We think you're pretty amazing.

xoxo,

the lipgloss ladies
