{Share the Beauty!} Mary Kay NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss is My New Holy Grail

So the other day I was working on my facebook page and I put up a few pictures and some comments on my favorite products and I found myself talking about how some of the lip glosses were kind of scary looking in the tube but totally awesome on. Not only that but I use to work for another cosmetics company that is very well known for its lip glosses...which I can now freely admit to HATING. They are seriously the goopiest things ever, I can't even keep track of how many I've even away over the years. But, when my friend Su sent me a sample of NouriShine I kind of fell in love. Not only do they have great color, but they're not sticky at all, which is one of my biggest makeup pet peeves.

au naturel - totally neutral and wearable, throw it on without a mirror or worry

I also happen to have some friends who are customers but who aren't in the state, so while I can send them a few samples, it's not really practical for me to be sending them every color under the sun. So I decided to do some NoutriShine Plus Lip Gloss swatches. Today I did Mango Tango (my summer favorite), Au Naturel (my dashing out the door) and Berry Tart, because I don't think the website does a very good job of showing the colors.

mango tango, which i think i'll rename tutti frutti

As you might have figured out from my coral post, I've been really obsessing over coral lately.  One of my favorite colors to wear lately has been Mango Tango - which is pretty scary in the tube but I think it comes out a very pretty tutti frutti tropical color, but I think it would be even more coral over top of a pink lipstick. If you blot it once it's not nearly as bright as what I'm wearing.

I hadn't tried Berry Tart before but I was pleasantly surprised and pleased. It's so...bluish and dark in the tube but came out a very pleasant like berry - kind of like my natural lip but intensified.

i have a freckle at the top of my lip and it makes them look uneven :(

I would have done more colors except my lips were starting to get irritated from putting glosses on and taking them off - next time I'll swatch some of my favorite lipsticks :)
