And now, for something completely different...

As we are in the midst of holiday gift giving season, I would like to deviate from nail polish a little bit and talk about some other cosmetic products that some of us may be giving/getting/thinking about for others this year. This year, I found the Stila color me glossy lip glaze set at Sephora for only $28 USD, which is a pretty phenomenal price for nine of their full sized lip glazes. The glazes come packaged in 3 packs of 3, so you can keep them all, give them all or do both.
I decided to keep one trio, and give one to my mom and one to my best friend, so I'll only be talking about the ones I am keeping.
The theme of my trio is berries. There are 3 shades progressing from light to dark: Strawberry Cream, a sheer light pink, Wildberry, a sheer dark pink bordering on red, and Dazzle Berry, a shimmery magenta shade. All three smell like berries and are beautiful colors.
My only concern is that they are a tad bit sticky, and I am a little skeptical about the click pen packaging. Lots of people seem to really like it, and it is a neat idea, but I'm just afraid of them drying or clumping on the brush.
I think I will get the most wear out of Strawberry Cream, but the other two are just as beautiful. Also, they make a really lovely color when they are all mixed together, which is good for the indecisive.
