It's perfect.

Okay. I've never written anything about cosmetics here before, probably because I don't wear much, and probably because this is a designy blog. But I have to admit I have a weakness for buying lip gloss, even though I usually forget to wear it. I have just found my all-time favorite, this lip stuff from Neutrogena (who is not paying me to say this!) It feels lovely and is sheer, so it's not overpowering, and not sticky like some gloss, and not heavy like lipstick. I want to buy a truckload of it and have lovely lips forever.

[Note: I have just reread what I posted, and I sound like a badly written TV commercial. Sorry. But this is good stuff.]

This is great! I've been looking for a gloss that meets your same criteria. Thanks for sharing!

Well, the lip gloss does have pretty spiffy looking packaging. I bought my shampoo and conditioner because I thought the packaging was clever...

I discovered it about a month ago and wear it almost every day!! I heart it too.

Alwaya a good idea to share a good find when it comes to a girl and her lip gloss. I love any good lip stuff.
Besides, you need to look good and have smooth lips when you are designing :)

Thanks for the tip! I am eternally looking for a good lip gloss with both color and SPF.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the recommendation. The tingly sensation and SPF 20 are awesome.

teehee, I came across your blog from craftzine.com's, and upon seeing this post about the lip gloss, I thought to myself, "Hmm, I need new lipgloss." I looked up more about it on makeupalley.com, liked what I saw, and then went and bought it tonight! I'm normally super hesitant about buying this kind of stuff... (I've only been wearing it for like what, a few hours or so) but I love it. Am lovin' the tingly feeling, teehee. Thanks!

That's fun. Glad you like it, too! And Cheeky, no kidding--every woman needs to have beautiful lips while sitting in front of a computer. :) It's essential.

I don't wear lipgloss (I'm too old for super shiny lips) but just wanted to say I have been a member of MakeupAlley for four and a half years and you can trust us when it comes to product recommendations. :-)

I'd never heard of makeup alley until now. Cool resource.

I completely agree with you! I have it in 3 different colors and love all of them! It has a hint of minty flavor in it, too.. or is that just me?

Jessica Jones said...

Hmmm, I don't think I ever tasted it. I will next time. :)

Thanks to your wonderful ad....I went out and bought some last weekend! It's great....and I like the subtle mint flavor.
