Inexpensive Lip Gloss I Bought on a Whim…and Love
While I was on my way to work this morning, I reached in my bag to find some type of lip balm and pulled out my L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lip Gloss. As I was applying it, I was reminded as to how much I like it. In fact, it’s been my go-to lip gloss on many occasions the past few months.
I purchased this lip gloss on a whim last November. I was in New York City for work and had lost one of my favorite lip glosses, which isn’t all that surprising given I tend to “misplace” these types of things quite frequently. It wasn’t until after dinner the same day, when I was headed back to my hotel, that I realized I had no lip gloss and was going to the Today Show the next morning to meet Kathie Lee and Hoda backstage.
Given it was late at night, my options were limited. I walked into the nearest DUANEreade to merely see what they had to offer and walked out with L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lip Gloss in Soft Nude. Like I said, I purchased it on a whim and didn’t know what to expect. But it was just what I was looking for. I love it! And it was the finishing touch I needed for the special occasion the next morning. In addition to meeting Kathie Lee and Hoda, I also met the lead singer of Train as they performed “Hey Soul Sister” live on the show. Check out the video clip here.
What I love most about this lip gloss is that it’s:
- Without scent or taste
- Infused with Omega 3 and protective Vitamin E, keeping my my lips soft, moisturized and shiny
- Creamy, but not sticky!
- Very sheer, with just a hint of color. I most often wear it alone for a natural (but sophisticated) everyday look, but also layer it on top of lipstick for a night out
- Available at drugstores
- Only $5.99 (and is often on sale for less!)
I would definitely purchase this lip gloss again! Now, you’re probably wondering what I was doing at the Today Show with Hoda and Kathie Lee…
