Review: Bibo Holiday Swirl Lip Gloss
What They Say: “Bibo Cosmetics is promising to extend your time under the mistletoe this holiday season! Pucker up with Bibo’s Holiday Swirl Lip Gloss Collection: not only do they taste like scrumptious holiday candy to make lips oh-so-kissable, they’re also swirled to look just like candy-canes! Each lip gloss comes with two holiday colors that blend together when you apply to create a high shine gloss perfect to wear alone or over your favorite hue. Choose from three different color combinations and flavors:
Wonder: a yummy vanilla flavor with subtle bronze and gold shimmery swirls
Joy: a peppermint flavor with vibrant red and gold swirls
Bliss: a peppermint flavor with flirty pink and pearlescent swirls”
Alissa’s Opinion: My first impression of these glosses was very good; the packaging is sleek and the gloss looks beautiful in the sparkly swirl pattern. Unfortunately, my lips don’t look so great after I apply. Bliss is the only decent shade because it is the sheerest. Wonder is a too-light gold color and Joy is bright pink (which tends to look tacky on me). The scents are so subtle that I had to read the description to know what they were. I usually find that even a less than spectacular gloss can be used over lipstick as a highlighter, but these feel so gloopy and thick that I can’t see myself getting any use from them at all.
Retail Price: $14.00 each (at select distributor stores and premier salons across the United States and Canada from 10/1/06 through 12/31/06 or while supplies last. Call 1-800-456-9322 or log onto bibocosmetics.com for salon locations)
