lip service verdict + a giveaway!

As you know I've been trying out different Estée Lauder color glosses the entire week - it was challenging, but good to step out of my comfort zone. Well readers, the verdict is in on my favorites . . .

The three above I loved, but these glosses went on quite sheer and had a hint of sparkle. They would be my basic go-to's for a light shimmer.

These next two I didn't love on me - not sure if it was the outfit I paired them with or if they just didn't suit my skin tone. I wanted to like them on me, but they just didn't strike my fancy.

Let's talk about my winning colors! The Cranberry Shine was completely out of the ordinary for me, but it totally grew on me as the day wore on. I began to realize that a pop of color on the lips adds a little pizzaz to the day. The Nude Rose was delightful - perfect for an everyday gloss for the office or weekend. I kept finding myself wanting to re-apply every few hours. And lastly Rose Emotion, all I have to say is "hello lovely!" - it's utterly divine! A little hint of pink can do no wrong in my book and I'm now obsessed with this gloss. I've told all of my coworkers about it.

Now get down to this lovely giveaway that Estée Lauder has partnered with me on. Estée Lauder is offering a bundle of lip glosses to a lucky Sacramento Street reader!! Here's how to enter:

1. Be sure to follow both @caitlinflemming and @EstéeLauder on twitter.
2. Then comment below on which of the eight colors above you would love to start wearing.

A winner will be selected and announced on Monday!

I know that the winner will busting out some luscious lips this coming holiday season. Good luck everyone!

ps. If you prefer lipstick, pop on over to Erin's giveaway!

I've never been brave enough to try a bold lip colour, but I would definitely force myself if I had the rose emotion colour in-hand!

following you both! Thanks for the awesome giveaway

As I work in a conservative office environment, I think that the nude rose would be the perfect everyday go-to color!

I would love to try the Pink Kiss Simmer color! I tend to lean towards nudes and light pinks, but love the hint of sparkle on this tone.

I can't decide between Cranberry Shine and Rose Emotion they are both beautiful and I don't know which color would go with me because I have never worn a gloss before.

Cranberry shine for me, please! Nothing brightens my pale face and outlook like red lips. (Plus, 8-year-old True Love keeps nicking the pinks.)

Love your blog!
I love lipgloss but usually only wear nude to light peach tinted colors. I would love to try the Cranberry Shine lipgloss I think it would really add glam to an anyday outfit, plus it would be great for the holidays!

All the colors look stunning and perfect for the holiday season which is obviously fast approaching but I think I'd go with Nude Rose I can never seem to find a nude that I love, so I'm hoping this will be the one!
