Trish McEvoy Lip Gloss and Lipliner
About the lipstick: "Highlights Lipgloss can be used alone to give lips a natural tint or over lip color to enhance shade and provide a luscious, long-wearing shine."
Jen's Experience: Normally I wouldn't recommend lip gloss to add color to one's make-up wardrobe. While lip gloss normally does put some focus on the lips, usually it's all in the shine. Well, after visiting the Trish McEvoy counter at the mall, that rule is down the drain for me. I tried on several of their ultra-shiny glosses to find the perfect color, and I think I got just the right one in a much brighter pink than I would normally wear, which is their "Shimmer Rose". It's a little gummier than I would normally wear for a gloss, but I love the highly pigmented color that really coats my lips. When I wear my Stila Convertible Color as blush with this gloss, the colors look like they were made just for me.
Retail Price: $20.00 (Saks)
About the lipliner: "Designed to complement all of Trish's lip colors. Long-wearing formula with a creamy, smooth texture applies with ease for beautiful shaping."
Jen's Experience: I am a sucker for lip pencils, but normally I use them all over my lip, sometimes just the pencil and gloss. The Trsih McEvoy liners are meant as a final touch, to outline the lip and prevent your lipcolor from running and to give your lips a more defined shape. I know, you're probably thinking, "Ew..I don't want a big line around my lips!". Well, the liner I chose (it only comes in three colors) is called "Sheer Nude" and it is a dead ringer for the natural color of my lips. It blends in well with their lip gloss as well as many of my other lipsticks. While I may still use a lip pencil to color in my lips as a first step in the morning, this is my new finishing touch.
Oh, and the other end of the liner is a handy, dandy lip brush for blending. What a great bonus!
Retail Price: $18.00 (Saks)
