I'd like to take this chance to profess my love for the perfection that is Bath & Body Works! I'm actually obsessed with their products, and really wish they would just open up shop down under! Until then, however, I've been making do with online ordering (through eBay sellers, as Bath & Body Works sadly does not ship outside of the Americas).
Today, as I begin to look into purchasing some new B&BW lip gloss tubes, I decided it would be a good time to review my favourites (after all, I should be a fairly reliable source for their review considering I've had them for more than 2 years)!
It's important to note that the following flavours have since been retired from the B&BW shelves, however you can still find them floating around on eBay quite a bit! I purchased these three (along with several others, oops!) in Hollywood over Christmas week back in 2012, and despite having purchased many more since then, these remain my all-time favourites (for now, anyway)!
Sugared Cupcake
First of all I love cupcakes, so the whole idea of a cupcake flavoured lip gloss literally had me squealing in excitement. This is a cute, fun & girly gloss. It has a sweet & creamy vanilla scent, sort of like a vanilla cupcake so relatively true to it's name. The taste however, isn't that great (I know it's a lip gloss, but considering that most of the liplicious glosses do actually taste quite good, it was a bit of a let down). The gloss is a sheer, clear and subtle shimmer look, perfect for a basic, casual look or to wear over lipstick to add a little shine!
Ah, the Christmas themed gloss. Christmas is my absolute favourite holiday, so of course a Christmas scent would make it onto my favourites list. The scent of this one is strong and smells exactly like candy apple, and it tastes sweet like candy or syrup. I love this scent during the autumn/winter period, however I still break it out over Christmas because hey, it's not my fault Christmas is in Summer here in Oz! Like Sugared Cupcake, it is a clear & sheer shimmery gloss, perfect for a casual look.
Cookies & Cream
The first thing that came to mind when I smelt this one for the first time was: OREOES! It literally smells just like oreo cookies, with its strong and creamy chocolately scent, and yes - it even tastes like it (it's just so good, but please, do not actually eat the lip gloss)!! It's a beautiful, warm bronze and white shimmering shade perfect for the colder months. The only small issue with this gloss is that on pale girls (like myself), it can be a bit too dark and wash you out. I like to wear this very thin with a darker wardrobe, or over some lipstick, to make it a bit more natural looking! However, I also simply like to smell it (in private, of course, otherwise I'd look a wee bit wierd)! This one is definitely my favourite of them all.
The entire Bath & Body Works 'Liplicious' Glosses Collection is thich, smooth & long lasting. The lip gloss leaves your lips feeling smoother and softer than before, and is perfect to avoid chapping while looking glam over the cooler season. I'm certainly looking forward to putting in my next order for B&BW lipgloss' galore!
Have you tried any of the liplicious glosses? What's you favourite(s) from the collection?
