orry to keep blogging about beauty products, but I think I'm OBSESSED. Well, it's actually not really a post about things I bought, but things I received so I think that's ok. A few days ago I was previewing some beauty products at work and I was being shown these really cute lip glosses by Anna Sui. However, we ended up selecting a lipstick for the magazine that looks like Matryoska dolls. I don't think it's out yet, but the lipstick is soooooo cute. I would love to get my hands on that in the near future.
My co-worker decided to give the lip glosses to me since we aren't going to be using it. Now, I love Anna Sui's cosmetic packaging, but I have never tried any of her products. I love the Art Nouveau/William Morris-style of her packaging with a touch of goth.
Here are the 2 that I got. Look how pretty the box is.
I got 001, which is a clear gloss with sparkle glitter in different sizes and shapes (there were some glitter in the shape of stars), and 600, which is an orange gloss with some shimmer.
Here are the 2 glosses side by side.
It's hard to capture this, but see the different-sized glitter?
The top of the gloss is in the shape of a heart with the 'Anna Sui' logo on it.
As you can see the glosses are quite sheer.
Here's another angle.
Final thoughts? I thought the packaging was great, but as for the glosses I'm not a huge fan. I don't like sheer glosses and for what you are paying I don't think it's worth it since you don't get the colour pay-off.
On a side note, I just changed my nail polish and tried something different. I used my Lancome Metropolitan Beige nail polish all over my nails and painted just the tips with Lancome's BB Sand nail polish from the Spring 2010 Collection. I love it! I can't stop looking at my nails. It's subtle, but sooooo pretty.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to take better photos of how pretty these 2 polishes look together.
Sorry about the burn mark on my ring finger. I burned my finger while I was straightening my hair. DOH!
