Lip gloss' galore

I think I've said before I'm not normally a lip gloss gal but lately, (probably due to my love affair with the MUA out there glosses) I've been felling the glossy love!

Some Vivo colour wash lip gloss jumped in to my basket on quick nip in to Tesco for milk....(they really shouldn't have them in eye shot lol)

They are £1 each an I picked up the shades: early to rise, lets go, setting sun and raring to go.

They have that lovely caramel vanilla smell thing going on and are fairly tacky but its not like smearing ice cream sauce on your mouth (mini monster's latest trick!).

As you can see the swatches are reasonably pigmented but sheer out a lot on the lip. They do give some subtle colour, a bit more than is showing on my pictures.

What I really like to do with glosses like these is layer them over lip sticks. They work especially well over those "nude shades" that are quite pale and scare me or make me look quite scary depending on your point of view lol.

Oddly enough the next day  was having a little "look" in Superdrug and picked up some bits from MUA (not a surprise to any one) swatches and review coming soon. I didn't see any special offer signs but when I got to the till apparently I had earned a free lip gloss! I asked the sales assistant to just grab which ever one she thought would look good an I came home with shade 2. The formula, smell and pigmentation is incredibly similar an just as lovely! If you don't get a free one they are also only £1.

Its better than an even chance I will be getting more!

Even if your not a huge lover of gloss or have yet to be converted to their wonderment or even just want to have a go at layering with out spending more than you absolutely have to they are really good value and with Christmas coming up would be excellent for a little secret Santa or stocking fillers or just to have in your bag to keep your smile shiny on those many Christmas lunches/after work drinks and general top up.

Thank you for reading.
