Holiday Gift Idea #4

 BALMSHELL COSMETICS 

Lip Glosses & Lip and Cheek Tints

BALMSHELL’s lip glosses are made with a high-end conditioning formula contains lanolin oil, jojoba oil and no artificial preservatives.

Glosses

What I liked: 

• Flavored with a hint of natural vanilla
• Perfume free
• High gloss & shine
• Each shade has a different floating illustration
• Illustration end unscrews and can be attached to a keychain (that comes with) 
• Non sticky
• Wearable shades
• No parabens
• Really moisturizing
• Unique concept

What I disliked:

• Not super long wearing but really what gloss is

Lip & Cheek Tint
A gel based lip and cheek tint with a built-in antibacterial sponge applicator so you won’t get “Caught Red Handed".

What I liked:

• Non greasy
• Packaged with an anti-bacterial sponge applicator which will help to not stain your hands
• Long lasting
• Stain is pretty pigmented
• Blends easily
• Formula includes rose water which helps extract oil from skin
• Love that it can be worn on more than one area (lip & cheek)
• Wearable shades
• Lightweight

What I disliked:

• While I like the idea of the sponge I found it a little small for my cheek area
• When applied to lips can feel a bit dry (most stains feel this way) but was fixed with a little gloss on top

Who to gift these to:

• Secret Santa gifts
• Co-workers 
• Your closest girlfriends
• Anyone who enjoys cartoons and floaty pens :)
• Anyone who doesn't have a lot of time and would love a multi-use product
• All the teens/young ladies in your life.

This is how the lip & cheek tint in Gossip Greta looks on me.

 

This is how it looks once I added a pinky gloss on top (Caryl Baker VIsage "Sunshine")
