Product Review: Kelly Teegarden Organics Lip Gloss

Today I am pleased to bring you another product from Kelly Teegarden Organics, their Lip Gloss!  I have said before that I love Kelly's products and everything her company stands for but I am a lip gloss snob!  I am very picky when it comes to lip gloss and I have quite a collection.  I have complaints about most lip glosses whether it be the color just isn't right or my number one complaint, the formula is too sticky.  You know what I mean?  You put on your lip gloss and within a few minutes your lips feel like a sticky mess?  I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me!  Did Kelly Teegarden Organics' Lip Gloss live up to my high standards?  Read on to find out!

What They Say:  "Lead, arsenic, hormone disruptors… in lip gloss?  I was shocked when I found out about the dozens of toxicchemicals found in beauty products. That’s why I created KTO lip gloss. Not only are these glosses chemical free, lead free and totally safe, but they are hydrating, nourishingand look beautiful too.  Formulated to protect, all natural,creamy texture, subtly minty and light and mirror on cap."

My Impression:  When I first got these in the mail the very first thing I noticed about them is the mirror on the side.

I love that these have their own mirror on the side!  No need to carry an extra mirror to apply lip gloss.  The mirror is just the right size too!

The next thing I noticed about these adorable glosses is that they have...ready for this...a built in light!

The picture is slightly blurry because the only way I could capture the light was to turn off the flash.  I mean, how cool is this?  I could apply my lip gloss in total darkness!  I mean, I'm sure that's not what Kelly intended when she put the light in there but the point is, if I so choose, I could put my lip gloss on in total darkness...right?  At first I wasn't exactly sure why there was a light on there.  I mean, why would I need a light on my lip gloss?  Then, while on the bus headed home from work one day I took out my lip gloss, used the mirror to apply, and I figured out exactly why that little light is helpful.  The light shines directly onto your lips to help you apply your gloss perfectly, even in low light situations, like the bus.

So, I thought the mirror was awesome, and the light even more awesome, but what did I think of the gloss itself?  I am pleased to tell you that this is by far the best lip gloss I have ever used!  Seriously, I'm not just saying that, I actually mean it.  I don't have any of the complaints that I normally have with lip gloss.  The color pigmentation is perfect, it is just the right amount of "sheerness" (I think I just made up another word!) and most importantly- it is NOT sticky!  This stuff feels so nice on my lips and it smells really good too!  It kind of has a very light minty smell to it.

The colors I received were Jen and Amber.  Perfect for my skin tone and very light and sheer, leaning more towards brown and gold.

I promise, one day I will be brave enough to do lip swatches. :)

I would definitely recommend these glosses if you are looking for an amazing lip gloss made with natural and safe ingredients.  The lip gloss sells for $25.00 and you can pick them up here.  I think the price is right on target for a good quality lip gloss and compares with other brands such as Stila lip gloss which retails for about $22.00.

Would you consider trying these lip glosses?  Leave me a comment and tell me why or why not?  If you have tried them let me know what you think.  Thanks for reading!

Product Review: Naked Princess - Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss

Happy Wednesday!  Today I'm bringing you another product from my May Look Bag: Naked Princess - Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss.  I was excited to see a lip gloss in the May bag.  I love lip gloss and I am always looking for the right color for my super thin lips.  I can't really use dark colors or very pink colors because I feel like it makes my lips look even thinner.

The sample pack came with four colors: Barely Coco, Barely Blush, Barely Nude, Barely Coral.  These are defiantly sheer glosses meant for a nude look with just a touch of color.  Here's the bad news- I don't have any swatches.  Why?  Because after I did my swatches I had a small camera snafoo and those pictures were the casualty.  I already used two of the samples so I figured providing you with swatches of just two colors was pointless.  So, I apologize that I don't have any swatches to show you.

What They Say:  A cleanly formulated, luxurious lightweight, non-tacky lip gloss in eight shades of nude. Contains built-in treatment and a gentle, non-stinging lip plumper.Formula Features:Infused with Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Moroccan Vanilla, & Antioxidants for radiance & shine. A collagen-producing Peptide helps to plump lips without irritation to reduce the appearance of fine lines. In independent test studies, lips begin to look younger, smoother & fuller within five days.CLINICALLY & ALLERGY TESTED. NON-IRRITATING. Source.

My Impression:  I loved these lip glosses!  I am definitely a fan of a nude sheer gloss so I knew I would love these glosses.  They smell amazing and made my lips feel nice and smooth.  I don't know that they actually plumped my lips.  I guess they made my lips look fuller but it's hard to tell whether it actually plumped them.  I used the Barely Coco first and then the Barely Nude.  I'm moving onto the Barely Coral and will use the Barely Blush last.  The full size of these sell for $26.00 a piece and you can pick them up on Naked Princesses' Website.  Overall I would recommend this product if you like a nice sheer lip.
