L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Gloss Thoughts

I spotted this display at Walgreens (not having seen any ads or heard any hype yet) and bought one tube in shade 151 Baby Blossom for $7.99. For the most part, I wear nude/ pinky-peach shades so truthfully, none of the other colors were all that tempting. It seemed like a lot of the shades had frost or shimmer which I'm not into either. Here's J Lo's ad for the product. It might just be me, but I'm not a fan of her lips or her makeup in the first one!

And here's the tube I bought with swatches outside:

Globbed on, haha

Blended out

My thoughts:
I'm not really sure if it's the shade or formula, but it doesn't blend easily until it starts to melt with my body heat. Also (again not sure if it's the shade or formula), it clumps on my lips and accentuates any flakes or lines. I feel like it holds up okay for a gloss and is somewhat sticky, which I like. I also like that the shade has some actual pigment and doesn't end up going on like a clear gloss. My last like is that Baby Blossom doesn't have any shimmer, frost, or glitter. For $7.99, I wouldn't buy it again or try any other shades unless there was a BOGO or something. My fave drugstore glosses lately are Revlon Super Lustrous and L'Oreal Color Juice so I'm sticking with those for now!

Summer Fun

I thought I would turn to blogging again to document our summer activities, knowing that it will absolutely whoosh by! School was officially out on Wednesday the 8th.

End of the Year Party

Playing limbo

We've pretty much been hanging at home the last couple of days and swimming in Angel's pool. Right now, his house is empty and we can swim whenever we want, but I'm sure it won't be empty long.

Today was Monica's birthday party at the Wesmere subdivision community pool. Zale has an earache/possible infection, so I didn't let him swim. I wasn't sure how long he'd be able to last just running around and playing with his water guns while Raine was splashing and playing, but he didn't get too miserable about not being able to get wet. We stayed for about 3 hours I guess. Jack was the only other kid there that we knew, so my social time with the other parents was pretty limited.  There are days when I just don't have much adult conversation at all, and those days seem to be more frequent in the summer. I don't mean to whine, just venting to no one!
