TMG Faves: Tarte Maracuja Divine Shine Lip Gloss for Spring 2012…

Lianne Farbes — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 12:00:36 +0000

This past February, Tarte was a sponsor at my Fashion Week networking event Cocktails & Couture….they brought all of their new goodies to show off and I fell in LOVE with their new lipgloss! Tarte’s Maracuja Divine Shine Lip Gloss [$21] is a glossy, tingly, sparkly gem that is great for your lips and helps with filling in the fine lines that can creep up on you with age. I have been wearing this daily and it looks great by itself or on top of liner/lipstick! It’s housed in one of those clicky pens that I adore too (multi-tasker, gloss PLUS lipbrush!!). I have been rocking Flush a pretty pink berry all over town but there are so many shades to choose from, you will have a hard time picking only one.

Drench lips in healthy color and mega-watt shine while pampering them with the benefits of nature’s pure miracle: maracuja oil. Always hydrating and skin-nourishing, each maracuja-infused shade will keep lips moisturized while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result: lips that appear fuller and more plump.

Adored (cotton candy pink)
Amused (hot pink)
Blissful (warm peach)
Blushing Bride (plummy rose)
Charmed (pale pink)
Dollface (pink grapefruit)
Flush (berry)
Glisten (peachy nude)
Natural Beauty (cherry red)
Tipsy (coral)

Available at Tarte counters, sephora.com and tartecosmetics.com

Spring 2012: MAC Too Supreme – Sheen Supreme Lipstick and Lipglass…

Lianne Farbes — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 21:42:38 +0000

This is the kind of collection that I just DIE for. Soft color, that is sheer, layerable and not so in your face. I love a soft red lip (or a soft any color lip) and the texture of both the lipstick and the lipglass is AMAZING. I love a good clicky pen lipgloss too so MAC had me at HELLO. This is a collection that you really must see in person to test out the shades but trust me, you won’t be disappointed!!

With fresh shades of Sheen supreme Lipsticks along with the introduction of Sheen Supreme Lipglass delivered in a clickable pen style applicator with super soft cover-your-lips-in-a-stroke brush.

Fall 2011: MAC GlamGlass [Photos + Info]…

Lianne Farbes — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:50:27 +0000

I am definitely a lip gloss person. I have discussed this before on here, as I realized it just happened recently. I just gradually stopped using lipstick (I know really like the new lipsticks that are like glosses but that’s ANOTHER post LOL). These are a lightweight gloss with poppin color and tons of shine – what’s not to like? MAC’s latest GlamGlass offers just that – high wattage shine, intense color and a lightweight feel. With the addition of the coordinating limited edition lip pencils, I will be all set for fall. The bright pink shade is calling my name!!

Sshhh…Lips speak louder than words. You’re invited to experience glamour that’s strictly word-of-mouth. Newly formulated, this super-silky gloss delivers the perfect amount of Knockout colour with its innovative new brush applicator. Encounter a Lasting Sensation of hypnotically intense, pure colour with a vividly alluring shine that leaves lips looking lush for hours. Mesmerizingly minimal, non-sticky texture feels comfortable… featherlight. Eight tantalizing Lip Pencil shade extensions round out a collection that positively whispers Embrace Me.

Fall 2011: Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss…

Lianne Farbes — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:00:08 +0000

Oh happy day! Bobbi Brown is making moves! I had heard it through the grapevine that she was doing something major with the glosses before the year was out and boy did she ever!! Bobbi Brown’s High Shimmer Lip Glosses are new and re-vamped versions of the classic Bobbi glosses. They are super sized AND get this, the brush is gone! Yes the brush that so many complained about has indeed been replaced – a doefoot applicator makes it’s debut. These formulas are permanent and I’m told the other colors in the line are getting an upgrade as well. LOVE!!!

Fun is what Bobbi had in mind when she created High Shimmer Lip Gloss. This new formula features a special mix of pearls in a clear base for the ultimate in shimmer, shine and color. Plus, it’s good for lips too thanks to moisturizing emollients and Vitamins C and E that condition and offer antioxidant protection. Bonus: After countless requests from lip gloss aficionados, Bobbi’s sized up all her glosses—including High Shimmer Lip Gloss—and added a convenient doe foot applicator. High Shimmer Lip Gloss is perfect for a night out on the town, special occasions, or simply when you’re in the mood for something fabulous.

High Shimmer Lip Gloss ($23.00) (Permanent)

Pink Tulle Hot pink with pearl
Star White diamond with pearl
Citrus Bright coral with pearl
Canary Pure gold with gold pearl
Hot Fuchsia with pink pearl
Naked Plum Rosy brown with pink pearl

Fall 2011: NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss…

Lianne Farbes — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 12:00:17 +0000

Looking for a long lasting gloss with high shine? NARS has got you covered. NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss is their first venture into plumping territory and they pull this off quite well with this offering. I am loving the shorter brush and the beautiful range of shades, which are just stunning. The gloss is also packed with all the good for you things that a gloss needs like jojoba oil (which by the way…has high levels of the antioxidant vitamin E) and Volulip which is a natural peptide that improves the shape and volume of the lips. Another plus, it won’t feather during the day.

Outrageously lustrous color meets serious shine in this NARS gloss. Its stay-in-place dramatic shade glides on smoothly and evenly for lips that are more luminous and voluminous than ever before. Long-lasting, high-shine hues are infused with ingredients that nourish and fight free radicals while natural lip enhancers pump up with volume. A new, shorter bristle brush delivers the most precise application possible. However you want to express yourself, Larger Than Life Lip Gloss says it boldly, brilliantly, and brazenly.

Larger Than Life Lip Gloss ($26.00)

Place Vendome Strawberry pink
Norma Cherry red
Piree Rosy pink
Como Shimmering berry
Tiber Cool beige
Odalisque Cantaloupe
Spring Break
Gold Digger Sparkling peach shimmer
Coeur Sucre Shimmering bright pink

Available now — exclusively at Sephora and sephora.com.
