365 Days of Lip Looks - May 1, 2011 f. CoverGirl Nature Luxe Gloss Balm - Thistle

As a Bzz Agent I get to try a variety of products.  Of course when I receive information on beauty campaigns I get extra excited.  Recently I was given the chance to try a couple of items from the new CoverGirl line - NatureLuxe.  I received a foundation and a gloss balm.  Unfortunately the foundation is a bit too light for me.  I will have to try that as a brow highlight or under eye brightener but I am extremely pleased with the Gloss Balm.  The name describes it perfectly but here is what CoverGirl has to say:

Get the sheer color and shine of a gloss with the soft, lightweight feel of SPF 15 balm. Fortified with mango and shea butter, this feel-good formula leaves your lips feeling decadent and delicious.

I could not have said it better myself but allow me to add that as we transition into the warmer months I am still plagued with winter dryness, that includes my lips.  I constantly have to exfoliate and keep them moisturized so as not to look like Pookie from New Jack City.  I normally apply some type of moisture on my lips prior to application of a lip color but I took a chance with the GlossBalm and was instantly impressed.  My lips were soothed and felt kissable all while imparting just a hint of color.  You all know how I am about a subdued lip so I am very excited about these and will have to pick up more of the range.  I have the color Thistle/210:

If you want to try them also I have a lot of coupons that provide $2 off the line.  They retail for $6.99 so this is a great savings, and for my extreme couponers out there you know if you combine it with a BOGO offer the money saved is through the roof!  Just drop me an email or a tweet and I will get your information and send you a coupon or two.  No obligation necessary, just sharing the wealth!  :)  Also if you want to find out how to become a BzzAgent I can send you that info as well.  The more, the merrier.  Here are some not so great pics of me wearing CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Thistle, have a great day!
