Forevermissvanity - A UK Lifestyle Blogger : Lip Gloss

If you are looking for the perfect pout this Valentine's Day then look no further than these lip butter glosses from NYX.

Admittedly, I have never been much of a lip gloss fan. I always find them too sticky, often drying and that they easily smudge. It took a lot of debating on whether I should try these, but after I saw all the raving Youtube and blogger reviews, I thought how could I not.

I haven't worn lipgloss in several years despite owning many varieties and most of the time when I'm sent samples to review I'm left disappointed. Lipglosses often remind me of Barbies or those overly fake looking people with lips like a piece of perspex. But I still get the temptation every now and then try certain brands.

I've tried many times to jump on the Lipgloss bandwagon, but I've not had much luck. Trying to find a lip gloss that gives shimmer and shine, yet still gives a natural appearance is hard to come by or so I thought. When I first tried the NYX lip butters I was immediately converted. I had gone from shying away from lipgloss, to wanting to wear these every day.

These three lip glosses are all named after delicious desserts (Cherry Pie, Strawberry Parfait and Angel Food Cake) and all exhibit a sweet vanilla taste. As the name describes, they lip glosses have a buttery, smooth texture which help adds moisture and shine to your lips with very little effort.

I love applying these lip butter glosses over my favourite MAC lipsticks for a vibrant, dramatic look, but they also look great on their own.

These lip butter glosses have transformed my opinions of lip gloss and have made me realise that I should not frightened of wearing lip gloss because of a few bad experiences. There are many brands out there to choose from and eventually you will find the right brand for you. Mine just so happens to be NYX.

As many of you will have already realised, I'm slightly obsessed with red lips and my red-lipstick-buying habit is showing no signs of disappearing. My latest little arrival was Lush's new lip paint, Ambition. Firstly, I have to say that the name of this product pretty much sums me up. I'm always ambitious - if not a little bit too ambitious. I have my head in the sky most of the day and will stop at nothing to secure a job in fashion PR. "You may say I'm dreamer, but I'm not the only one"...I couldn't help, but add the latter end of that sentence when I wrote it. If you haven't heard John Lennon Imagine, I suggest you Google it, although I'm pretty sure 99% of the population has done. A lot of my friends call me a dreamer, but to me, it's ambition. I know what I want and I'm always trying to figure out my way to get there. I want to prove that my dreams are a reality.

Red lipstick always ignites that confidence within me and when I'm doing a presentation or need a confidence boost, red lip paint is my best friend and that's the simple reason why I can't get enough of it. If you haven't tried Lush's new set of liquid lipsticks, you have definitely been missing out. They are easy to apply, totally vegan and a little goes a very long way. Ambition is such a powerful colour and highly pigmented, the picture does not do it justice.

The best aspect of the Lush Ambition is the fact that one little pot can give you a variety of colours. Simply apply more if you're wanting an instantly bright colour or apply very little if you're wanting something a little more subtle. If you want a softened colour, you can apply the Kiss Lip Gloss. The kiss lipgloss is probably one of my favourite new products - it never leaves my handbag. The product tastes like sweeties and adds a beautiful pink glow to your pout. It's perfect for those days where you're wanting to avoid heavy lip coverage and you're looking for something quite natural. The product also includes fair trade Shea Butter to keep your lips moisturised.

My only wish is that I had a Lush store closer to home, as it takes over an hour for me to get to the nearest one. Although, it could easily be a blessing in disguise, as I would probably spend half of my uni breaks shopping in there and dreaming of all things sweet scented.

For all of you unlucky ones like myself, there's always the Lush online store, which never closes and sells all the products you could wish for. Why not pop a little bit of Ambition into your shopping cart? I know I will be doing when it runs out.
