Review of Jillian Dempsey Collection

So I got this in yesterday and had to try most things on today:

• Limited-Edition Ultra Color Rich Lip Conditioner - I was disappointed that this was not a color, per se, but it's a nice lip balm.
• NEW Limited-Edition Morph Tones Cream Eyeshadow Duo - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Is she going to put out any more shades in this? Lov!
• NEW Limited-Edition Apri-Glow Complexion Enhancer - This is ... weird. It definitely warmed up my face, but was a little on the orange side; I added tinted moisturizer on top and it looks ok, I think
• Glazewear Liquid Lip Color in Tickled Pink - like this much more than expected - it really goes with the rest of the kit, v pretty.
• Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara in Black - Didn't try this...
• Ageless Results Day Cream1.7 fl. oz. - SPF 15 doesn't cut it for this fair gal, so I didn't try this either (I'm a neutrogena 45 SPF kinda girl)

I totally want more of these morph tones! They're sheer, but so pretty.

(oh, and the bag's great, too!)

Beauty Finds: Avon Glazewear Lipstick

I randomly picked up an Avon brochure while I was out shopping at Kings, and I saw this really interesting lip product- Glazewear Lipsticks:

What Avon says about them: Luscious color & glossy shine! High-performance gloss and luxury lipstick in one. Color-Gel formula delivers smooth, silky color that lasts and a shine that won’t quit.

Basically, they're saying that these are one of those gloss sticks - lip gloss in lipstick form. I asked around on my enabling beauty forums, and the consensus was that these were pretty great, so I picked them up in pink kiss, champagne glow, and copper mink (pictured above, l - r).

What Heather says about them: These are fantastic! They were cheap when I bought them ($4.99), and give a great deal of color with a ton of shine. My favorite is the champagne glow, a perfect every day color. I loved them so much I had that comment up on twitter for forever, and I also went out and bought (on Shelly's recommendation), Juicy Apricot, Raisin Glaze (which is totally your lips, but better!), and Honey Bare. I love them all - they're just as good, if not better, than the Benefit Lipsticks, and cheaper, too.

The price has gone up on Avon to $8.00, but Shelly tells me that if you order through your avon representative, they can back order and still get you the $4.99 price.
