Custom Kisses

June 11, 2013 by emily 37 Comments

As a girl who carries half of her life in her pocketbook, I can honestly say that I very rarely buy the same product twice unless I truly love it, especially when it comes to an easy, everyday lip color. Either it’s too bright, too sticky, too hard to apply.. the list goes on and on. But lip color that I’ve re-bought more times than I can count is a color that promises to look good on everyone, so why in the world would I keep it to myself?

If I see I’m running out of Dior Lip Glow or Smashbox O-Gloss, please believe I’m either fitting a trip to Sephora in my schedule or paying the extra couple of dollars for overnight shipping on Amazon. Thats how much I love these two products! ย If you’re looking for an easy lipgloss to throw on while you’re sitting in traffic, you should definitely try one of these. Basically, they both go on clear and then magically turn into your perfect shade of pink. While I don’t know the chemistry behind this or if it actually takes into consideration your skin tone, but I do know that I haven’t been able to find a shade like it, so in my book it’s a winner.

 

Dior Addict Lip Glow– I really like this one because it goes on almost like a chapstick and makes my lips feel so soft without the stickiness of a gloss. It’s perfect for those “I don’t want people to know I”m wearing makeup but I really am” days.

Smashbox O-Gloss Intuitive– This lipgloss really does change colors quickly after I apply it and looks different on all of my girlfriends who have tried it. This one definitely has more of a lipgloss feel than the Dior Lip Glow does, but its great for when your look needs a little more shine!

Have you tried any of the “magic lip glosses” yet? Did it work for you?

    I’m obsesses with Dior Addict Lip Glow, I never leave the house without it. It’s a perfect soft pink, and my lips feel great after use! My friends loved it so much they all went and bought it.

    I absolutely love the pH lip products everyone has out right now ๐Ÿ™‚ they are so fun and end up looking different and perfect for each person.

    I will have to try these two out. I’ve been using Tarte LipSurgence (like a balmy glossy crayon) and mood magic which has been around forever!

    I’ve tried the Smashbox and wasn’t a fan of the stickiness as I like a more smooth feeling, but now I can’t wait to go out and get the Dior Lip Glow! Thanks for the recommendations!

    Tarte also have a product similar to this. Lipsurgence Skintuitive lip tint. I really enjoy it. My mom also likes it and it looks different on her. I think the lady at ulta said it had to do with your lip temperature?

    I just recently ran into these for the first time at TARGET. I bought the PIXI Brand and โ™ฅ it! It is shaped like a big crayon. Goes on super smooth, like chapstick and the color is amazing!

    On my way to the store to pick me up a few new things to try! I love Chantecaille lip glosses, if you are looking for something new to try, the Crystalline is my fav.

    @Joseph pleeeease stop commenting on every makeup post. The poor girl is trying to build a lifestyle brand and connect with female fans, not to be stalked by a lonely guy who really needs therapy- and I am not saying that to be mean. Seriously dude, I feel bad, but you need to stop. It’s creepy, scary attention for any girl to get, even a famous one. It’s not cute.

    I absolutely love the O-gloss by Smashbox. The color is always perfect! If you are looking for a less expensive brand, Ulta has it’s own version for 1/3 of the price~give it a try… your perfectly pink lips will be the talk of the party~ great post, Emily!

    I have both (got Dior yesterday) like how it goes on like a chapstick, but I do find Smashbox gives more of a pink hue on my lips. Would you consider doing a blog where you give the steps of your everyday eye makeup routine?

    I just got the Dior Addict Lip Glow and it is by far my favorite lip stick/gloss I have gotten in a long time! The shade of pink it turns for me is very natural looking and compliments my skin tone perfectly. Thanks for the recommendation!

    Hi Emily, If you love these so much, you should try the brand Jane Iredale “just kissed lip stain”. It’s an organic line used by many celebrities. You will love it!

    Hi Emily, I love your blog, but reading it is actually a bit dangerous for me because I want to go out and buy everything you write about. And that means you’re very good because I actually don’t even wear makeup! ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ll be heading out this week to get that Dior Addict Lip Glow. Thanks for the great tips!

    Well, as much as j’adore Dior, I am a girl on a budget. I have been through a lot these past few months, but definitely am a makeup addict. I wanted to let y’all know I found a great lip balm that is quite comparable to the the Dior. Sephora is touch and go for me. Sometimes their products are awesome and sometimes…. well not so much. Give this one a whirl, girls! It’s only 12 bucks! I loved it and I have lips that peal in the summer and even get sun burned and it worked for me! <3

    Hi Emily!

    Thanks for the informative bog ๐Ÿ™‚ My favorite chapstick of ALL time that I always buy is one of the cheapest…Bonnie Bell Dr. Pepper, loved the soda growing up but, aside from the great taste it allows you to wear a tint of red natural looking and not too WOAH! lol If you get what I mean ๐Ÿ˜‰ Another one that keeps lips really soft that I will always buy is the Maybelline Baby Lips in Twinkle, its perfect before bed or whenever you want nice sheen healthy lips. I am sure thats what the Dior does but this one is just a couple bucks and worth at least as a backup!

    Hi Emily,

    I’m not one to follow blogs and such, but I came across yours and am so happy I did. I purchased Dior Addict Lip Glow and love it! So much in fact, that I got it for my mom. She is going on vacation to Italy and I thought it would be perfect, and she agreed!

    Looking forward to reading more of your comments ๐Ÿ™‚

    I need to try those! Thanks for sharing!! My favorite go to lip products are: Nars Dolce Vita (the perfect everyday rosy nude color), Nivea a kiss of cherry (makeup artists swear by this), MAC Ruby Woo (perfect red) and Bobbi Brown lip and cheek compact in Pale Pink.

    I just bought the Dior lip glow from Nordstrom.. I had been wanting to try it out after reading your post awhile back. I absolutely love it. Lip products can make me nervous. This is perfect for easing myself into lip color experimentation ;)) Thx Em!!
