Only a couple weekends left until the end of August, and by virtue of that, the unofficial end of summer.
NOOOOOOO!!!
Oh, cruel, cool fall, how darest thou impinge upon my summer fun?!
Back! Back, I say! Away with you!
Oh, what’s the use? Fall is coming; there’s no stopping it. The very thought of being cold again gives me chills, and not in a good way.
What we need is an app for that… If you happen to be an iPhone developer, please invent an app with a summer pause button so we can extend the last weeks of the season and play with products like these two juicy, summery lipglosses from Jouer while it’s still summer.
The Moisturizing Lip Glosses in hot pink Malibu and shimmery golden coral Hamptons ($20 each) strutted onto Jouer counters and the Jouer Cosmetics website earlier this season, joining the ranks of the company’s permanent collection.
Both unscented, unflavored glosses feel thin and non-sticky on my lips, and they last about 2-3 hours.

I can see how they might be too sheer for die-hard pigment fanatics, but I’m okay with that. I love juicy, shiny lips with a hint of color. It’s a casual, undone, easygoing lip look, like leisurely walks along the beach.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. Well would ya look at that. We made it to the weekend!
I would do a little dance, but I’m too exhausted. Lack of sleep will do that to ya.
I was thinking about going to a party tonight. A friend emailed to meet up in the city for a shindig, but it doesn’t start until 11. As in 11 p.m.
In my 20s, I would’ve said yes in a heartbeat, but now I’m like, “11 is my bedtime.” LOL! 🙂
We’ll see… Maybe some black cat eye liner will fire me up.
What are you up to tonight?
Phyrra says
Way too sheer for me, but they look lovely on you.
I hate that summer’s coming to an end, but at least I love the Fall colors. At least my weather will remain lovely.
Nivedita says
Malibou for me!!! In India, the summer is so extreme that I wish winter to come soon actually!!
I love your eyes so much that I want to try the same look!
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
I am LOVING Jouer lately! Didn’t get a chance to try these gorgeous glosses but I definitely plan on it!
Kiss & Make-up says
Both look good, although Hamptons is probably my favorite.
As for tonight: depends on how much longer the boyfriend has to work. I’m up for some cocktails in the city if you ask me!
Emily says
The colours are very cute but I feel like they would be way too sheer for me. I always have that problem since I have pigmented lips. Most lighter shades look clear on me.
I am pretty sad about summer ending but I have to say Fall is my favourite beauty season.

Lovely shades, the packaging reminds me a bit of Givenchy!
Lulle says
Malibu is really sheer, but I like Hamptons. Nice shimmer, pretty shade. I also love the simple and classy tube!
Marilyn says
I died laughing about the 11pm party!!! So true!!!!!! As a kid you never want to sleep and then one day, you grow up and you’re desperate for it!!!
Suzi says

Nina says
