Boots Botanics Lip Gloss

by Shannon on June 19th, 2007

boots botanics lip glossI’m beginning to see why Boots is the #1 beauty brand in the UK. Among the many products from Boots that I was sent, of course I first dove for the lip gloss in the package and immediately applied it. I received the Boots Botanics Lip Gloss in Loganberry, which is a beautiful mauve color.

Boots Botanics Lip Gloss contains ginkgo biloba to protect and coconut extract to help moisturize your lips. This gloss smells interestingly of tangerines, which always makes me think of that car insurance commercial when the actor says “So I put on some tangerine lip gloss and answered the door…” I’m not really a fan of tangerines, yet this gloss feels great and looks so good that I can let that slide. I forgive you Boots.

This gloss is not thin nor thick, yet the coverage is really fabulous. When I use it I can’t help but think that this gloss brings truth to the notion of “painting your face.” It almost gives that wet paint yet satin finish look to your lips.

Have you used this product? What did you think?

    Now that gloss looks promising. I love the description you gave at the end of it being like paint on your lips. To me, that means the color payoff is awesome which is the missing element in a great lipgloss. And the color you posted looks like the perfect color for the old hollywood look I’m going for!

    Are these products available in the US? Or must one order them online? I’d love to be able to try it out before buying it.
