By Leah

bcagloss_swacBeauty Brand Purple Lab is partnering with the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation this October for Breast Cancer Awareness with the release of SWAC ($18.50) “SEALED WITH A CURE,” lip gloss. Now this isn’t just any old gloss, it’s a make-yourself-feel-confident-and-happy beauty accessory. SWAC will give a portion of their sales to the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation to assist in promoting awareness and research for the cause. And what’s tres neat about SWAC’s ingredients; it contains Echinacea and anti-aging peptides, is scented with vanilla, and is paraben-free.

Pucker Up: POSHglam’s Glossiest Picks

By Leah

GlossAll

Gloss comes in all shapes, sizes, textures and colors. Some sport the smell of candy, while others are fragrance-free. A lady should always keep a bit of lip ‘stuff’ on hand, even if her boy toy carts it around. Here are a scattering of POSHglam’s front-runners. And remember, a little gloss goes a long way.

MOISTURE WHIP

The ultra-shiny lip is attainable with the sheer consistency of L.A. Colors Glossy Lips ($2).

SPARKLING FUN

The next time you get that girly urge put pizzazz into your beauty routine and slather on L.A. Girl’s U.S.A. Sparkles Glittergloss ($4).

BRAND-SPANKNG NEW

Eco shine your way to a luscious lip with Yes To Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss ($6.49). Desire less gloss? Use C Me Shine Lip Tint ($4.49) for a subdued look.

LIP THERAPY

Engage your honey bunny with the lusciousness of a vanilla bean, literally. Vanilla Bean Lip Gloss ($13.95) by Rejuva Minerals is made using vanilla bean and essence of vanilla alongside essential vitamins, A, D, and E to moisten pout.

COLOR AND SHINE

Motives Cosmetics by Loren Ridinger offers the exact amount of tint and glitz with Full Color Lip Shine ($16.95). This mineral-based mixture is the option for a long-lasting dusk-until-dawn wear.

A BRILLANT STICK

Lipstick Queen’s mess-free solution to a gooey gloss is Chinatown Chase ($18), a high-impact emollient pencil that’s actually a gloss. Packaged neatly it even comes with a sharpener included, thanks Lipstick Queen.

GOO-FREE

For a non-sticky multidimensional glisten Young Blood Minerals Lip Gloss ($21) delivers. It’s chock-full of vitamins to nourish and moisture lips.

PLUMPY POUT

It’s not a gloss guide unless Too Faced Lip Injection Super Size ($23.50) is present. This powerful punch of plumper enhances lips the natural way with a vitamin E derivative.

DOUBLE DUTY

Crafty Hugh Hefner puts gloss into perspective with Playboy Beauty Gloss Duo ($34). Two types to select from, In The Mood | Not in The Mood or First Kiss | French Kiss. Wonder what’s next for the King of Bunnies.
