This Just In: YSL Vinyl Cream Lip Stains + Giveaway!

If you're new to Girl Loves Gloss, you may not know that the Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain in #27 is one of my all time holy grail lip products. I fell in love with the long-wearing glossy formula the minute they launched, and since then the brand has had a few versions but none have really 'got me' like the original has, until they launched the Vinyl Cream Lip Stains...

Party Pretty | Favourites for the Holiday Season

With the holiday season in full bloom and regardless of what you do and don't celebrate, chances are you might have at least one festive gathering or event to attend to this year. Over the years I've attempted all sorts of looks for said events, and have now got my favourite products and tricks down to a bit of an art. Here are some of my must-haves and must-tries for a gorgeous party pretty look this season.

MASCARA MONDAY | YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara

I always really love doing the Mascara Monday post on a luxury brand mascara, because for years I was 110% a drugstore mascara girl and truly felt that something priced at $36 couldn't possibly be better than my $10 favourite. 

Well sometimes that is true, and sometimes it isn't. Today I am putting an absolute cult classic to the test, Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara to see if it really is as good as everyone says it is!

Hype Worthy | Luxury Makeup Worth the Price

There are some things in this world that are just worth paying for. I've found myself collection more higher end and luxury makeup products over the years, simply for the fact that I find the quality generally reflects the price (not always, but often!). Here are six of my current favourites that are pricey, but totally worth saving your couch change for. 

The Best of 2014 | Makeup

Does anyone else remember celebrating New Years Y2K? Yeah, cause that was 15 years ago. Have a little moment with me to gasp and wonder where the time went.

While you're pondering that, I'll chat about the makeup products that I loved the most in 2014. Deal? Deal. 

New Years Eve Makeup Necessities

It's the last day of the year (ohh that sounds to dramatic doesn't it?) quite literally and your night might involve some or alot of bubbly, inevitable alcohol infused sweaty dance face and a possible kiss at midnight. It's a night with a lot to live up to every year, so here are my picks for products that can stand up to the hype.

Lippies That Live in my Bag

My handbag might change from time to time, and occasionally I have been know to carry more than a few (cough, or 9) lip products, but at the end of the day there are only three I absolutely always have on hand. They live there, right in my purse for easy grabbing at all times.
