NP Set's Lip Gloss Compact (from 9-27-08)

Before I post about a product review, I use the product several times. I don't think one go around or sampling a tester gives a well-rounded experience. I guess you could call that Beauty Philosophy #2 sort of.

I am really excited about the three new make-up lines that Target is carrying. When I went to check them out, I picked up NP Set's Lip Gloss Compact in Cuba. It is a very pretty dark rose color with multi-colored sparkle. I was also impressed with the packaging: Very simple with alot of product.

It is a good standard lipgloss. The gloss is slick (which is my thing but may not be yours) with a slight gritty texture (from the sparkle). Of course, it could last a little longer but I obsessively reapply anyway.

It comes in a compact with no brush so you either need to carry a lip brush (and this is how I recommend applying it) or apply it with your fingers. This does not lend to applying on the go.

The bottom line is that it is a good standard lipgloss and as it is on sale for $12 according to target.com, you may want to pick it up.

Available exclusively at Target and target.com

OMG! Plantlove by Cargo

So many beauty junkies (or dare I say all) already now about Plantlove Botanical Lipsticks. Very wearable shades with biodegradable tubing. Terrific idea! Sagarmatha is beautiful.

Well the fine people at Cargo Cosmeticshas expanded Plantlove into a sub-brand. Must.stay.out.of.Sephora. Ok, not really. Now I haven't tried any of the new eyeshadows or anything like that, but I will shortly. The three collections are the Fire Collection, Wind Collection, and Earth Collection and this is what Sephora.com has to say about them:

Inspired by the elements, the Fire Collection provides the perfect tools to heat up your makeup routine. Dazzle with rosy-glow pinks and intense purples in this sizzling collection.

Cargo's new Wind collection will freshen your spirit with a natural color palette of vibrant pink cheeks and a subtle touch of shadow on the eyes. Light, natural, and loaded with eco-friendly botanicals, let the Wind Collection sweep you away with a refreshing new look.

The new Earth collection brings the breathtaking beauty of nature into focus with intense blues, a whisper of sheer shadows and a flush of soft pink blush. Experience the softness of the Earth collection while shrinking your eco-footprint. The Earth collection pays homage to nature through more than just color.
