Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish - Love

Apologies, but my camera apparently didn't save the swatch photo. The Love nail polish is part of the Lauren B. Bridal Collection. It is a sheer petal pink that is buildable to give full coverage. The nail polish went on smooth but, a bit streaky. The final result was professional polished looking nails even when doing it yourself. Plus, the generous size bottle will last for several uses.

Julep Lip Shade Sheer Lip Butter - Currant

The sheer lip balm is enriched with Shea butter, broccoli seed oil, Rosehip seed oil and black currant seed oil. It goes on smoothly and left feeling luxuriously soft. However, I am a bit disappointed that the lip butter doesn't impart any color which makes this just a very expensive lip balm.

bareMinerals Pout Loud - Loud and Clear Lip Sheer in Berry Remix

The moisturizing gel lip balm is enriched with shea butter and jojoba seed oil. The sheer lip balm nourish and condition lips. The soft raspberry color is imparted on my lips upon application along with a soft glistening shine. It's a nice mix of a lip tint and a lip balm. I wish the containers though felt a bit more luxurious and not so plastic-y feeling.

Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint SPF 15 - Plum

I recently purchase this lip tint because I needed something that provided a bit of color, SPF, and has lip conditioning properties. The sheer tint lip protectant smooths, soften and protect lips. The tinted balm is packed with vitamin E and antioxidants to protect and nourish skin.  The plum tint is a sheer purple color. If you are looking for a balm with a sheer color and SPF, then you should definitely look into getting this or at least trying it.

I love the vibrant raspberry color this lip gloss produces. This non-sticky gloss provides long lasting color but minimal moisturizing benefit. I highly recommend putting on lip balm before applying this gloss otherwise your lips might feel a bit dry later.
