Glossy Goodness
You know how every once in awhile, a product comes along and you’re all, “Why didn’t someone think of this before?” That’s how I feel about Hourglass Cosmetics new Prodigy Hydrating Lip Glosses. The glosses are shiny and somewhat sheer, so they’re perfect for daytime wear (or with a dark, smoky eye at night). I’ve also been layering mine over a few different lipsticks I own and it looks really nice. The glosses are moisturizing and not sticky at all (I think I’ve mentioned many times before how much sticky glosses annoy me). I’ve tried Opium, a shimmery bronze, and Legend, a sort of plum-wine color, and I’m really liking them both.
Quite possibly the best thing about the glosses though is the fantastic packaging they come in. The tube is just about as flat as you can possibly be and the cap pops off, letting you squeeze the bottom part of the tube to make the color come out. Whoever designed them was a genius – they fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, but more importantly, they slip into your back pocket like they were made to be there, and they slide into a small clutch easily, taking up practically no space whatsoever. (Perfect for those of us who have, uhm, a problem traveling light). I kind of wish all my glosses came in this packaging now. It’d certainly give me a lot more room in the rapidly-expanding tote bag I carry around with me every day!
There are six shades of Prodigy glosses. You can buy them now at Barney’s stores and they will be available at Sephora starting on February 18th. And for all of you beauty junkies – Barneys will be doing their Customer Appreciation event on Thursday, February 11th through Saturday, February 13th. If you spend $175 on cosmetics and fragrances, you’ll receive a bag filled with goodies, including an Hourglass Extreme Sheen lip gloss in Siren. If you spend $225, Hourglass will also throw in a Superficial Lash mascara. Happy shopping!
