Cover Girl Lipslicks Lipgloss in Hipster. |
Recently I branched out again and I've discovered a few things I like. I love Chanel Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle almost as much as I love Hipster, and I'm pretty happy with my MAC Captive lipstick and Hue lip glaze. I'm a fan of those Milani Buzzworthy glosses I bought a few months ago, too.
But I keep buying Hipster. It's just such a solid product for me. Last week I realized I was running pretty low and made a mental note to pick some up at Target. Sadly, Target was out of the Hipster color (grrr) so I decided to try their new NatureLuxe Gloss Balm, which sounded similar. I chose the color Pinot as it looked similar to Hipster.

First of all, I realize it's a different product line and is said to contain "decadent mango and shea butter", but the NatureLuxe Gloss Balm is $2 more than the Lipslicks. The color I selected also has way too much "sparkle" in it and the effect is kind of borderline 80s frosty. For some reason - whether it's the sparkle or some other ingredient - it also feels kind of scratchy on my lips, instead of moisturizing as I would like. I do not recommend, sadly.
Side by side comparison...no comparison! |

I am HOPELESSLY devoted to Avon's Cherry Flavor Savers lip balm. I try to be a grown-up and wear actual lip stick or lip gloss, but time and again I go back to my tried and true. The hint of color, the texture and the cherry Life Saver flavor win me OVER. I have tubes of it stashed everywhere, and my mom buys it for me practically in bulk. I have no clue what I'd do if it were ever discontinued.
Also: Glide's Satin Tape dental floss.
Ah! I love that dental floss!
toss the glide....try REACH total care
I LOVE this post!! I currently have CG Lipslicks in "Cutie", which I love. The lanolin/lanolin oil in this product are the keys to its awesome moisturizing effects. . .your post has me putting "Hipster" on my to-buy list for tomorrow-- I cannot believe Lipslicks have been around so long- decades long. I remember seeing it (same exact tube) in early 80s when I was 7 y/o. xo
