Coutura from the Glamazons blog reminded me that I had yet another Sexy Little Find in my possession: Kissable Couture Smooches I Lip Gloss Set! The original kissable set, it contains five darling mini lip glosses that I'm sure you'll love if you haven't tried them already! From left: Dreams, Johnny, Dylan, Honesty and Forest.
When I received it back in February for editorial consideration, I found the packaging to be precious. Just like the images on the site, the Smooches I glosses are placed in sleek, black boxed adorned with a satin black ribbon. When you open the box, there is a description inscribed on the upper flap:
Dress your lips in everything posh. Kissable Couture Luxury Lip Glosses. Its infectious ability to keep you coming back for a single sheer application or double coat of sexy sheen and divine fluidity.
The ultimate look of effortless chic. Kissable Couture Lip Glosses. An ultimate timeless experience never to be forgotten.
Sigh. Whoever wrote that is a marketing genius. It's like a siren's call, beckoning you to open up your pocket book and splurge on this collection! It's $32.
What I love the most about these glosses is that they coat the lips in shimmery, chic sophistication. Now that I am a little older, I'm leaning more towards lip glosses that have more shimmer than glitter. I know that I am not alone in this journey either! While they're fabulous overall, the staying power could be improved. I don't mind reapplying throughout the day but I know some of you out there don't like having to reapply numerous times throughout the day.
The Kissable Couture lip glosses provide the perfect amount of shine without looking greasy. They're also moisturizing and apply without the usual stickiness. Celebrity makeup artist A.J. Crimson and model/TV personality Keisha Whitaker (wife of actor/director Forest Whitaker) have created a lovely line of lavish, luxe lip glosses! This is exactly the reason why you need to cop the sequel: the Smooches II Lip Gloss set. Another reason is that the Glamazons have an exclusive offer: snag the irresistable Smooches II set at 25% off! Just enter code glamazons at checkout. Offer valid while supplies last.
The Smooches II Lip Gloss set also contains 5 glosses - Elusive, David, Solstice, Awakening and Tyler. Have you noticed how
huge the purple lip trend is right now? Rihanna, Letoya Luckett, Alicia Keys and the models at Naeem Khan Spring 2010 runway show have each kissed the purple reign. Not ready to commit to a vibrant hue of violet lipstick? Try Tyler. It's a sheer application of this trendy shade.
For those of you who aren't familiar with LaQuan Smith, he is a 21-year-old fashion designer. Yesterday, he held his first fashion show at the Society of Illustrators. Also, if you seen Rihanna's "Rude Boy" video, that gold jumpsuit that she's wearing? Yep, Smith designed that piece. Even Lady Gaga has been seen wearing one of his creations - specifically his gilded fishnet leggings. Other fans of his line include Amerie, Alicia Keys, Electrik Red, Livvi Franc and America's Next Top Model winner Jaslene Gonzalez.
