Fruit Spritzer For Your Lips…For Cheap

Lately I’ve gotten back into a bit of a lip color kick.  I really love the way a bright pout can look on someone and how it can pull a look together.  But, sometimes I just want a hint of color on the days when I have minimal makeup on.

While on my drugstore ‘splurge’ I headed over to the CoverGirl section of the makeup department.  It was kind of a strange day for me because Wet n Wild and CoverGirl are two brands that I never really shop for, but I have to say that I was really intrigued by a lot of the lip glosses offered by CoverGirl.  I was also really intrigued by the price because similar lip glosses offered by other brands ran upwards from two to five dollars more. 

There were several glosses to choose from by CG but I settled on their WetSlicks Fruit Spritzers gloss.  I really loved the colors and how they were all inspired by different fruit.  I also liked that they were only $5.99.  I wanted to go with a berry color, but resisted since I generally gravitate towards the same colors.  I instead went for a sheer pink color with a hint of peach called Guava Splash (shown up top).

I put the gloss on as soon as I got back to my car and I was really satisfied with the color.  It’s very sheer with a hint of color and not too much shine.  As I continued to run errands that day I was even more pleased with the fact that it hadn’t budged from my lips and the fact that my lips felt really moisturized.

I’ve used Lancome’s Juicy Tubes for years and I actually have to say that the CG formula is a lot less sticky.  On CoverGirl’s website they even say that the gloss will improve the condition of your lips overtime.  Great color, great shine, great conditioners and all for $5.99…not too shabby.
