Okay, ladies... If that title doesn't entice you, then I don't know what will!
But I can't really take credit for it. After all, I am talking about the Lustrous Lip Gloss Set from Anastasia Beverly Hills!
If y'all don't know who she is, she has become INCREDIBLY popular over the past year or so. She's consistently coming out with new and innovative makeup products that are constantly being sold out (that's how good they are).
So she recently came out with this gift set. The Lustrous Lip Gloss Set.
This set is NOT for the faint of heart.
If you are looking for a light wash of color that you have to apply at least 15 times throughout the day, then DON'T get these.
BUT. If you're looking for amazing quality lip glosses that hardly ever need to be touched up, then you've come to the right place :)
Let's get started!
Makeup Monday
Lustrous Lip Gloss Set
I have to start out by saying, I don't know how long this set will be available. My gut feeling says through the holiday, so do NOT bank on this being here year round.
But I think you should take the plunge and spoil yourself with these glosses. Here's why:
1. This lip gloss set is $40. Does that sound like a lot? Let's break it down.
-8 full size glosses.
-Same great quality as the individual glosses (sometimes companies skimp on the quality when putting out holiday sets because they are mass producing them. But not here!)
-A full range of shades (anywhere from nude, to gold, to hot pinks, to dark cherry).
8 full size glosses at $40 equals $5 a piece. That's cheaper than almost all drugstore lip glosses!
2. The color payoff in these is AMAZING. You only need one swipe of these babies, making them last EVEN longer!
3. These are not sticky (well at least I don't feel like they are).
4. These do not have any type of overwhelming smell. This can be a tricky area for some. I have friends who get very sick if a lip gloss smells too strong... hello it's right under your nose! But these do not have any type of bad smell.
5. These last on your lips for so long! I have gotten 6 hours of wear out of one application. That's right. You heard me.
6 hours.
Throughout that 6 hours, I ate white cheddar popcorn, drank water from a water bottle (without a straw), ate my dinner (which was spaghetti), went shopping for a couple of hours, and talked to people for at least 4/6 of those hours.
Seriously. These babies stay on!
This is right after application
So is this...
This is on my drive home.. in the dark... in the rain. So I figured you needed an up close pic of the color staying.
THIS IS 6 HOURS LATER. No other applications except for my very first one when applying it. No lip liner underneath. Only lip gloss.
After 7 hours. I had been home for an hour and was still impressed! Still no other applications.
This color that I'm wearing in all the pics above is Weekend Barbie.
Colors left to right: Gilded, Dainty, Sunset Strip, Metallic Rose, Weekend Barbie, Date Night, Socialite, Black Cherry.
Gilded: Gold lip gloss with tiny gold shimmers in it. Surprisingly flattering! You can even use this on top of another gloss or lipstick to give it a different look. Or apply this to the middle of your lips to make your lips appear larger.
Dainty: A light nude pink. I just love these colors in general. This is not a sheer wash of color though. It is opaque!
Sunset Strip: Similar to Gilded, but more coral in tone. This will be beautiful in the summer time!
This one also has a light shimmer in it. Therefore, it will reflect off of your lips, making them appear larger.

Metallic Rose: Exactly how it says. This is a mauve-rose color, with some shimmer in the gloss. It is a super flattering, "your lips but better" color.
Weekend Barbie: This is a hot pink color (the one I'm wearing above). It also has some slight shimmer to it, but not too overboard. This pink has a blue undertone which makes your teeth look whiter! Win-win!
Date Night: Right in between pink and red. It's so hard to explain. But this will also be beautiful in the summertime.
Socialite: Pure red lip gloss. Amazing staying power. This will be perfect for holiday looks, or any time, really! You cannot go wrong with a true red shade. Really. Everyone needs one!
Black Cherry: This one is quite dark, but it has a purply, reddish undertone. Especially when you are in the light, it really complements the lips. This will look different on every skin tone. But it's so flattering!
I'm not affiliated with Anastasia Beverly Hills (although that would be so fun!). I just honestly think that you ladies need these glosses in your life!
Tell me what you think about these, girls!
My opinion?? YOU NEED THESE NOW!!!
