I loved this gloss the second I saw it, and getting the chance to sample it only sealed the deal.  Part of the Sugarsweet collection, MAC recently introduced these glosses, layered with three delectable colors of Lipglass!

I sampled Just Dessert (pictured).  The color is light, sheer and shimmery.  Perfect for Spring, and as sweet and fluffy as cotton candy!

Retail price for TriColour gloss is $17.50.  Check it out before they're gone!

Don't tell my husband… every day when he leaves for work I decide what man to spend my day with.  Will it be David, the business-savvy executive?  Jesse, the bad-boy rocker?  Maybe Kirk, the outdoorsy athlete?

Before you jump to conclusions about the health of my marriage, let me explain that these aren't actual men… but shades of gloss from Urban Decay's new Pocket Rocket gloss collection.  Eight shades of gloss, each smelling deliciously of creme brulee (though I think it smells like a freshly-made waffle cone).  With just a flick of your risk, the man on the cap will be stipped down to his undies!

The gloss itself is super-shiny and sexy, but if you need an extra edge to seal the deal with the man of your dreams… just rub the gloss tube!  The tube itself is laced with pheromones, to enhance the chemistry!

My photography skills are mediocre at best, but check out the color swatches below!

Retail price $19.

	Doug.  Shimmery, opalescent pink.
	David.  Fans of the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency will recognize the chiseled face and body of Dominic adorning this opaque rose shade.
	Eric.  80s worthy red.  Robert Palmer girls would each carry one.
	James.  A cheerful bright Pink.
	Jesse.  Looks chocolate brown in the bottle, but a seasonless raisin once applied.
	Julio.  Sheer icy silver.  Ideal for layering over lipstick.
	Kirk.  Creamy opaque nutmeg shade.
	Timonthy.  The hot shade of coral for Spring.

As I sampled Max Factors brand-new Vivid Impact Lip Color, I mused that if she were still with us, Jackie O herself would most certainly be toting a few of these lipsticks in her bag this Spring.

Why?  The semi-matte finish and super-creamy color are so amazingly ladylike, and matched lip pencils ensure a perfectly painted pout with no tell-tale dark line.  Vivid Impact Lip Color is elegant and polished to the extreme.  Totally Jackie!

After sampling this lipcolor, I understand why it was used on the runways of New York during Spring/Summer 2009 fashion week.  This lipstick wears incredibly well.  When it finally does fade, it fades evenly.  I was never left looking patchy.

Price tag of $7.98 makes it a recession-worthy purchase for most of us!  Click HERE to check out all of the shades online at MAX Factor.  Click HERE to check out the lipstick online at drugstore.com. Their price is slightly steep at almost $9, but they are also offering two for the price of one at the time I'm writing this! Love that BOGO action.

Here is my take on a few of the colors:  Pin-up Pink is bright and cheerful, perfect for Spring.  Ablaze is the perfect universally flattering glam shade of red.  Every woman should own  at least one red lipstick like this!  My personal favorite is Rose Rage.  A slightly more sophisticated version of pink, it looks equally great dressed up or dressed down.  I’m wearing it right now!

Of course… I didn’t get to sample every color!  There are TWENTY different shades to choose from, in shades of pink, red, beige, mauve and wine!  If you buy this lipstick, be sure to check back in with us, to tell Rr readers what colors you love!

If you're an avid reader of the Raging Rouge beauty blog, you're no stranger to gloLip and its plumping prowess!  For Spring 2009, glominerals has added two new shades, perfect plum– a universally flattering shade of purple, and cherry– a bright and cheerful shade of red.

How do they work?  glominerals has developed a formula that utilizes Marine Collagen Atelocollagen sphere technology (to volumize your pucker!), lip-stimulating Capsicum Extract (derived from pepper, this is the spicy ingredient that makes your lips tingle after application!) and emollient Safflower Oil to keep lips their softest.

Retail price is $16 per gloss.  Buy one at gloskincare.com.

Expert Tips and Tricks from gloMinerals:

1)  Apply a small dab just in the center of the lips to create the illusion of full, pouty lips.

2)  Combine with your favorite glominerals gloPrecision lip pencil for added color and shine.

I’ve mentioned in the past that in the 90s I used chunky lip pencils–stand-alone–as my lip color.  I loved the long-lasting matte-finish my pencils delivered, and the super-compact pencil format meant I could carry three times as many color options when I traveled!  For those of you who normally shy away from pencils because they are too opaque, you’ll love the latest from gloMinerals.  Launching in May, the gloRoyal lip crayon a gloss-pencil hybrid.  Super-sheer, this crayon applies a wash of color to the lips that is reminiscent of gloss, but applies with a precision you can only achieve with a pencil.

Three colors will be introduced this Spring:  Countess Coral, Imperial Pink and Empress Rose.  I sampled Countess Coral, and must say it’s the perfect selection for a woman who wants to subtly incorporate this hot shade into their look.

Need another reason to give it a try?  The formula contains antioxidants, and natural UV protection!

Retail price is $16.  Check it out at www.gloskincare.com this May!

Expert Tips and Tricks from gloMinerals:
1)       For extra long-lasting lip color, fill in the entire lip using gloPrecision lip pencil under gloRoyal lip crayon.  It will accentuate the mouth and give off a subtle, beautiful shine.
