EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Things are not always what they seem. Expect the unexpected.
Mystery swirls around the metamorphosis in a makeup application, the highlight, contour and color correctors are like bewitching black magic tightly wrapped in pretty little packages. These 5 products are more than a cosmetic mystery, but a hexed voodoo placed on the conventional lip gloss.
M.A.C.’s Jealous is a cloudy green with an element of pearl. It’s pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. The color seems perfect for the Wicked Witch of the West but green hues will reduce redness and soften pinks. The pearl luster gives the illusion of supple fullness. $14.50
Lipstick Queen’s Black Tie Shine Gloss is described by the brand as total seduction – think black lace stockings for your lips. This shade was designed to be extremely wearable, super sheer and extra chic. Sexy on its own, seductive layered over any lip shade for extra incredible depth. $22.00
Lancome’s Nectar de’ Yellow is packaged like a tube full of sunshine, but the brilliant, flavored gloss slicks on easily, and boasts a completely transparent shine, lips glisten for a glamorous lacquered effect. $15.00

The Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited in Gold or Silver are breaking all boundaries in color creation. The high-tech, high-pigment lipstick allows you to add the silver or gold to your favorite lipstick for unlimited color variation. $24.00
YSL Black Lipstick Gloss Pur is a cosmetic jewel that turns lips into a spectacular fashion statement. For fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, black is “the” color. Transparent yet intense, it plays on the depths of black and the pure shine of a sparkle-free formula.” Available at Sephora $28.00

I’m a fan of transforming products, I think it appeals to my love of experimentation. I’ve definitely have had people look at me sideways when I’ve pulled out a black, blue or green gloss.. until they see it on.
These kinds of products definitely don’t get enough love though, I think because they can really through people off. Layering lip products is an excellent way to create unique customized shades.
Great post! :]
