With the Bath & Body Works event that's happening today, I thought it would be the perfect time to post my review of some of the Holiday 2011 Limited Edition Liplicious Lip Glosses that I recently received for review. If you're looking to pick up some fun last-minute holiday-themed gifts, hopefully this review can give you a few ideas.
Liplicious All I Want Lip Glosses in Gingerbread Giggle and Snickerdoodle Squeeze
(retail: $8 each, 0.47 oz)
These retail for $8 but they're currently B2G1FREE. They come in six yummy flavors, which you can view here.
Much like the C.O. Bigelow Mentha glosses, these Liplicious glosses are BIG on flavor and fragrance. Gingerbread Giggle is sweet and very ginger-y, just like you'd expect it to be. Snickerdoodle Squeeze smells and tastes so much like the real cookie it's pretty incredible. I get a nice hit of cinnamon in this one, but I can also detect vanilla, butter and of course sugar. Unlike the C.O. Bigelow Mentha glosses, there is no minty undertone to these glosses. They're pure, sweet baked goods.
As the BBW website indicates, Liplicious Lip Glosses "glide on for sheer coverage and high shine." So don't expect a lot of pigment with these. In fact, the base is clear and the color comes solely from the glitter:
FINAL VERDICT: I find these glosses to impart a pretty, festive look to the lips, which would make them nice to wear either alone or over your favorite lip color. The consistency feels a little bit thicker and a TINY bit stickier than the C.O. Bigelow Mentha glosses, but not by much. I'm willing to bet that if you love the Mentha glosses, you'll love these too. The glitter is abundant but it doesn't feel gritty when you rub your lips together, and I don't find that the glitter sticks to my lips too much after the gloss fades. If you love dessert-themed glosses that are big on sparkle, flavor and fragrance, then you might want to check these out at your local BBW before they go away.
Have you picked up any seasonal products from Bath & Body Works lately? If so, what have you purchased? Any favorites?

They look like nice flavors, but man are those names ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteMmm, these sound delicious! I love a good shimmery gloss for layering, but I find that really sugary scents in glosses sometimes bother me if it's that weird synthetic scent. I am imagining these smelling like fresh baked cookies, though, and that is definitely appealing!
ReplyDeleteI love BBW lip licious tubes! I've been collecting them for years and they last forever! :) I didn't get to pick up any of these seasonal ones though, kinda bummed.
ReplyDeleteI have the snickerdoodle flavor, and it's delicious. I only live 10 minutes away from BBW, so I get a lot of flavors there. What's your favorite gloss from BBW?
