I was watching Rachael Ray this morning and she does a “Human Lab” segment where she tests beauty products on real people (not paid actors) in real situations to see if what the product claims is to be true. So today she tested L’Oreal’s Endless Kissable Lipcolour on a bride on her wedding day! Talk about putting products to the test, and I give credit to the bride for taking a such a risk on her big day. I mean how many of us would test out a beauty product for the first time at our wedding?!? Not I, that’s for sure.

Anyway, the test proved to be helpful. The bride kissed about a hundred people and not once did she have to reapply her lipstick! And it left no kiss marks on any of her guests. The one thing the bride did say was that it made her lips a bit dry. The explanation is that in order to remain on your lips all day long the lip formula is different in that it contains a lot of drying chemicals, another words your basically staining your lips. However, some lipsticks do come with a moisturizer to help the dryness, but becareful not to use another brands moisturizer. The bride actually admitted to using a moisturizer that day and the lipstick began to run. When you apply a different brands moisturizer it breaks down the chemicals that make the lipstick “stick” to begin with.

If you’re big day is coming up, you may want to try this!

Cost: $9.95 for 2.

This is a really great product, especially if you’re going to be out in the elements. A friend recommended this to me when I told her that I hated how my lips always get wind burn while skiing. Carol’s Daughter Lip Butter is a non-greasy, extremely moisturizing lip balm. It doesn’t give much of a gloss so I’d definitely say it’s more practical than anything else. But even if you just put it on underneath your lip stick it still really helps keep yours lips soft.

Smashbox O-Gloss is an, “Intuitive lip gloss with Goji Berry-C Complex“. Which pretty much means it’s supposed to work on all skin tones by magically turning into the perfect color and even though I’m about to recommend it I don’t and in fact KNOW, it doesn’t work on every skin tone.

But it did work for me. Let’s put it this way, there was no way in heck I would EVER shill out $22.00 for a gloss if I truly didn’t love it beyond measure and couldn’t find a less expensive version. And trust me I tried. It comes in a great pink tube that goes on clear before heating up to turn a gorgeous berry pink. It really is different on everybody, but it will always turn some shade of pink. It’s slick feeling, not sticky at all and it never once made my lips feel dry or crummy. I would use it just for it’s moisturizing abilities, but the color really puts it over the top. I will say that like most glosses it doesn’t last all day and you will need to carry it with you to reapply later. I’ve noticed that after an hour and half it’s time to reapply, but since I’m a habitual gloss user I do that anyway.

If you’ve tried this product please let me know what you thought about it. I would %100 recommend that you try it out before buying it since it is different for everyone.

Cost: $22.00

I am a total lip gloss/chapstick junkie. So when I say that I love the Sonia Kashuk Lip Palette, I am NOT playing around here! You can get the lip palette in nudes, berries or sorbets. Personally, I prefer it in berries. The shades of color look good on light to medium skin tones. Each palette has two shimmery and three matte tones.

What I really like about this product is that the little container is cute and small enough to carry around with me in my purse. So it’s great for days when I have multiples places to be that require different looks. I’ll dab on a bit of the darker tone for a night out on the town, and stick with the lighter shades while I’m at work.

Cost: $11.99
