Touchdown (we landed safely)!

Greetings from cloudy Kaneohe, ladies. 🙂 It’s a little after 6 p.m. on Monday. I’m sitting here in my in-law’s small townhouse at the foot of the jungly Ko’olau Mountains on the Eastern side of the Island of Oahu. Right now we’re just catching up, chatting about Christmas and watching Jay-Z on Oprah, LOL!

On the flight over here I got to thinking about options and how most girls like to have ’em, especially when it comes to lipgloss. At any given moment, I usually have three or four of them in my purse, ’cause you never know when you’ll feel the urge to coat your lips in sparkly purple gloss.

So in the spirit of options and how much we like having them, today’s giveaway features SIX sassy lipgloss shades by the babes at Benefit.

The prize

One lucky lady will win Benefit Glitz Glam & Gloss (a $26 value), a set of three dual-headed glosses (six total). Each gloss packs a healthy helping of sheer, delicious color and loads of shine.

  3. I am so ready for Christmas. I got all my shopping done, except for the “gift from Santa” for my son. He cannot wait to open presents and leave cookies for Santa.

  6. Glad you landed safely Karen! I have MAC Nymphette lipglass in my purse, as well as Stila lip glaze in Kitten. And I think I have a Philosophy gloss too, somewhere at the bottom of that black hole! And I have had my eye on this Benefit set since it came out. *crosses fingers*

  9. Well this is kind of random…. I feel like life just needs to slow down and let me relax for a change… it’s been a crazy couple months. Then I remind myself how blessed I am to have the opportunities I have to do what I love. Just need to remember to keep counting those blessings 🙂

  12. Glad you had a safe trip. I used to study at Coconut Island in Kaneohe Bay. With 2 feet of snow on the ground, I’d much rather be there.

    There is no such thing as too many glosses in your purse. I always have an assortment of glosses and balms. In winter, I make sure there is something in my jacket pockets too. Right now, I’m digging Sally Hansen Carmindy lip glosses. I picked up a nude and a plummy pink. They have a great brush applicator and just a hint of stickiness to give them staying power without feeling tacky.

  22. Just wanted to say, I discovered your blog this morning,
    and have been reading it ever since!
    as a fellow beauty addict, but currently a student and working only ten-hours a week, sites like this and Temptalia help me cure my beauty craving 🙂
    looove the blog, keep doing what you do, all the best <3

  23. Right now I have Nars Pillowtalk, Stila Kitten, Clinique Fireberry and Soft Lips chapstick. I’m bad about putting lip products in my purse and never remembering to take them out.

  25. I’m glad you’re flight was pleasant. What I wouldn’t give to be you right about me. It’s 28 degrees and I hate it.

  26. My Christmas plans are to go to Atlanta with the boyfriend to stay with family. Hopefully, I will get to see some snow since this Floridian weather is very Un-holidayish. Have a wonderful holiday and I love the lipglosses show. SOOOOOO PRETTY!

  28. I’ve got the NARS lip duo of Dolce Vita and Striptease that was a Sephora freebie in my purse right now. I’ve never been a big fan of mauve, but NARS may just change my mind. 🙂

  29. I have only two in my purse – Clarins HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm (I totally had to look that up) and a Chanel lip stick, in… Comedia I think. I’m actually on the lookout for more lip products. I might pick up this set just to get more options.

  31. I have a Korres lip butter in my purse that one of my good friends gave me as a christmas present 😀 She is also the one who pointed me to this blog!

  32. Lip glosses are the ONLY makeup I carry with me when I’m out and about. When traveling, I take other stuff, obviously, but on a daily basis, I have a bunch of lip glosses (somehow I always seem to have three or four or more!!!!!). On the lip gloss thought, I had to return two today that I had bought a few weeks ago at CVS. Sally Hansen Lip Plumper eXtreme (or something like that) gave me, essentially, blood blisters on my lips. Yeah, I got full on chemical burns that filled with blood from some lip gloss. Not using that stuff ever again!

  33. I just wanted to say that my resolution for 2010 is to spend less on makeup, and you can help me do this by letting me win some goodies 😉

  35. my friends always make fun of me for carrying so many lip products in my purse.. usually i have chapstick, two lipglosses and two lipsticks. hah

  39. It’s summer down here in Buenos Aires and I wear Chapstick with SPF 30 to keep my lips protected.

    Great site! Keep up the good work.

    Reply

  42. I love lipgloss! My favorite is MAC Dazzleglass in Roman Holiday. Only downside to it is all the glitter that always remains on my lips when it wears away. Besides that, so fun!

    Reply

  43. I’m gonna stick with tricks. 🙂 My favorite would be to use lip stain under your first layer of lipliner for great staying power. Then continue with second layer of lipliner, two layers of lipstick and gloss if you wish.

  46. Hello Karen,
    I finally got my hands on a pair of Vancouver 2010 red mittens! They are sold out across the city where I live but my friend was able to nab a pair for me before they were all gone!

  49. I spend too much money on makeup. I just found out that Walmart carries a full line of Hard Candy makeup and I bought about $60 worth! Oops… lol!

  82. I just have one gloss in my purse at the moment – Smashbox 35mm. It’s my daytime, glossy-but-not-too-glossy-for-the-office gloss. Love it – the Benefit ones look more like holiday glosses though and I definitely need some of that vibe right now

  104. I’ve managed to get down to just 4 lip products in my purse — an ancient Avon Color Trend Shimmer Lip Tints in a sheer brown; a Sephora lip pencil #116, a rosy brown; a NARS velvet matte lip pencil in Bahama, also a rosy brown; and an Estee Lauder High Gloss in — yep, you guessed it — Blush, which is a browny-rose! I think see a trend…I would love these lip glosses; they would break me out of my rut!

    Reply

  106. In my purse AT THIS MOMENT (I’m at work, and I am not going to include the various and sundry lip products that I have here in my cubicle in several different locations) are:
    Lipstick Queen Medieval lipstick
    Lipstick Queen Crime Glossy Pencil
    Guerlain Rouge G in Georgia
    YAL Gloss Volupte in #2 and #4
    Chantecaille Lip Chic in Ceylon
    Giorgio Armani sheer Lipstick in #21
    Rouge d’Armani in # 501
    Lipstick Queen Butterfly Ball in Goodbye
    Lancome Color Fever Shine in Pixel Pink

    I think I am prepared for any and all lip emergencies!

  117. Have fun in Hawaii. I currently, and very sadly, don’t have any lipgloss in my purse right now. I do, however, have a trusty tube of Aquaphor to beat the winter chapped lips.

    Reply

  121. Ohhh, they looks so purdy 🙂 As odd as it may sound the only lip product that I’ve got in my purse is chapstick! I’m all ocd about things floating around in my purse, since all the lipglosses I put in there get all knicked up, and the labeling always scratches/peels off… yep i’m an odd one 😉

  138. I’m going to Florida right after Christmas, and I was just looking at the weather down there… 60’s and 70’s. Definitely going to be a shock since it’s like in the 40’s here in Virginia. But I CAN’T WAIT!

    Reply

  139. Oh, the horror!
    I just found out about a store that sells Benefit. The only store. Not only does this store carry this impossible-to-get-if-you-live-in-this-dagnabbit-country-brand, the store in question is only 5 -FIVE- minutes away from where I live! ‘So… Why the frowny face, Roxanne?’, you may ask. Well, I’ll tell you, Karen. IT’S FRIGGIN’ EXPENSIVE! Buying one thing from Benefit could put me in debt for life. This MUST be a set up! (I expect the UN had something to do with it.)

    Sigh… no benefit in buying Benefit for me 🙁 These glosses give me some hope though! You never know, I might actually win. Hope you’re having a blast, Karen!

    Reply

  141. Oh Karen, I was fuh-reaking out on the commute in to work today because I forgot my Aveda lip glaze in WineBerry. The husband offered to give me his cocoa butter lip balm but thankfully he couldn’t find it (he thinks I need it for the cold / dry chapped-ness of the winter. I do! But I need it for the colour too…). As soon as I got into work, I dug through my bag and sighed in relief as I found my Nars Moonfleet, Lancome Toffee Pop and Chanel Glossimer 128.

    I still miss my Aveda lip glaze though; it’s perfect for the chilly weather, and that’s the one I WANT right now! Argh!

  148. I actually never travel with lip gloss. I have one or two tubes of them and one of them is the Chanel Glossimer in Blizzard and the glitter is a bit too gritty to my taste… I always forget to take one with me. I do have lipstick and lipbalm with me all the time.

  149. Glad you made it to your destination safely! On Christmas Eve, we’ll be going to my parents house . Then on Christmas Day we’ll be at my sister-in-law’s house with my husbands family.

  163. Once, someone parked on my houses garage, and it made my mom soooo mad. She is one of those people that are not good at getting angry, kinda holding it in and her voice gets really high. So the next day someone else was parked on our driveway, and it really pissed me off that someone was upsetting my poor mother again (she could strain a vocal cord!) so i put some chewing gum on the door handle, drew some penises on the window and taped a post it on that said WARNING: TONIGHT YOU DIE. I laughed for a while at my masterful vengeance and went on to my business, having restored the karmatic balance.

    A few weeks later my mom told me that my aunt didn´t want to come over anymore because my dad had left her a death treath on her car, your father is such an ass she said.

  174. omg, I would kill for this set!! I haven’t had new makeup in forever!! And I know I won’t be getting any this year because of money. Sigh.

    As for what lippies are in my purse? Too many. They just build up, because I always think I better take that day’s color with me because I might need to reapply! But I just end up with a bunch of lip products floating in my purse! LOL!

Just got done making a big pot of sauce & more Italian specialties for Christmas Eve – been a year since I lost my Daddy & this Christmas will be sad – Spending Christmas Eve day seeing Phantom of the Opera w/few girlfriends then back home for Feast of the 7 Fishes w/my Hubby. Merry Christmas to you & your family – Heard it hailed somewhere in Hawaii?

  176. I used to carry a bunch of lip glosses/sticks but now I try just to carry the ones I use the most throughout the day. Here’s the ones that made the cut:

    Nars Pillow Talk (aka my favorite lip of the last couple months)
    California Kissin’ by Benefit — it’s amazing. Adds blueish tint to any lipstick
    Life on the A List by Benefit (it smells nice, but kinda drys on funny)
    and I had a soft lips chapstick around here somewhere? hmm

Right now, I’ve got a SoftLips, a Gap lip balm (in Apple Cider), and a Yes to Carrots tinted lip balm in my bag. However, I’m bummed out because I’m visiting family for the holidays right now, and I forgot to bring my Badger lip balm with me! It’s definitely the most soothing and moisturizing of all!

  198. So funny you were talking about this, since I just cleaned out all the lip glosses and lipsticks out of my purse this morning. I swear that made my purse 3 pounds lighter.

  200. hmmm…. well, i just bought a bunch of stuff at MAC today (go figure lol). i got a lipgloss in the colour “entice” (soooo pretty) and the “stars n’ rockets” eyeshadow (i think that’s the name). then i went on to sephora to buy my first bottle of MUFE face and body! i’ve been putting off that purchase.

    plus, im grateful for exams finally being over. i dont have to think of uni until the 7th of jan!

  201. Hi Karen,

    I just bought Dolce Vita on your recommendation and I LOVE it. It is the perfect color for me–a nice neutral pink that I know I will wear every day. NARS is a bit expensive for me, so it helped to have your review to reassure me that this was worth 24 hard earned dollars. It is so worth it! Thanks!

  202. Just discovered NARS l/g in Greek Holiday…<3 ! Also just ordered my first Julie Hewett lippie-Bijou lipstick in Biba. Must try it out with the Lorac Red Carpet Reveal eye and cheek palette, as shown in the latest In Style mag on Mila Kunis.

  206. These days the only thing I carry in my purse (to use on my lips, that is) is lipbalm. It’s winter and they’re easily dry and flaky 🙁

  207. Cute giveaway! Love lip gloss “my lip gloss is poppin!!”. I have no lip gloss in my bag, because I lost my Avon one while in the emergency room last week 🙁
    So, only 3 days left for christmas and i JUST started shopping this morning! I personally think i find more sales the later i wait to buy gifts lol.

  209. I have no gloss in my purse right now, since I emptied it out to clean it.

    I will say that there are still good people in the world. I had to ship 3 packages today and it came out to way more than I thought it would. The man at the shipping place got me a better price, but I was still $2+ short. He took the money I had out of my hand and said “Merry Christmas.” I almost cried, because my family has had a really rough Holiday season, so we’re pretty stressed, and then to have someone be so nice, when it seems people can’t be bothered…. It’s a real reflection of what the season should really be about… people being good to other people.

  214. I am an equal opportunity buyer. I’m more than happy to have a few brands in my purse. Currently I have Nars, MAC, Beaute’ Cosmetics and Lipstick Queen glosses. I’ve never tried Benefit glosses but I’d love to win them.

  215. The gloss in my purse now is a Mary Kay gift … it had gloss on one end and a perfume roller on the other. I love lip glosses but unfortunately never buy them for myself on the grad student budget. I’d love to win some!

  217. I’m probably going to use the giftcards I get this Christmas to get nothing but makeup! This starving student can’t spend cash on frivolous stuff like that. ;p

  218. the gloss I’m totin’ around with me at the moment is a teeny tiny menthol (sheer blue!) one from mini Bourjois. Practically clear, it works with my cool undertones and the minty taste makes me feel refreshed when I use it!

  219. I am a red lipstick addict! I have five tubes in my bag and countless others in my make-up kit. So I just started wearing sheer glosses. I have the most delicious tasting Marshmallow Lip Gloss from C.O. Bigelow- so yummy!

  220. I’ve got a few Zoya glosses in my purse. I got a few when they were offered as a GWP a while back, and I’m digging them thus far. (I sure would like some Benefit glosses, though….)

  222. I hope I’ll be able to purchase and donate a toy to the toy mountain at my mall today, cause I think it’s the last day before they send off the Christmas gifts for those in need. I really want to do something good for those less fortunate.

  231. My current fave is Chantecaille’s Tea Rose lip chic and thats usually with me at all times. Though. I hate to carry lippies in my purse with the scare that they might melt. I learned this the hard way with Laura Mercier’s Brown Sugar Stickgloss. May you RIP my beauty.

  236. Glad you had a safe trip! I’ve got about 3-4 lipsticks and glosses in my bag at any time. Have decided to shorten my internship period to 3 weeks instead of 4, so I get another week of vacation, yay!

  237. Yay, I’m excited for Christmas! In my purse right now is a MAC lipglass in BadaBoom… it’s a treasured possession of mine because it was from a limited holiday edition set, and it’s almost done 🙁

  238. Lipgloss is the funnest aspect of makeup! It’s cheerful and glowing. I feel great when I look in the mirror and shiny lips are looking back at me. I enjoy that some are flavored and some have glitter and some have color. Ever since my first Bonne Bell lipgloss before I was a teenager, I’ve had a devotion to lipgloss! HAPPY HOLIDAYS Y’ALL!

  239. I have a plastic baggie of lipglosses in my purse right now. About 5 MAC glasses, a couple Clinique Plump & Shine, a Benefit, a Revlon and a Bare Escentuals. Never know what mood I’ll be in!

  264. Speaking of Benefit, one of my favorite products is their cream eyeshadows. I own Skinny Jean (of course, haha, who doesn’t have it!?) and Birthday Suit. I’ve seen pics of a shade called Recess, a matte-ish nude like shade, but I can never find it at Sephora. Does anyone know a store that stock it? I don’t really like to shop online 🙁
