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:

lip service . . .

This week I'm adding a little beauty into the mix. When Estée Lauder came to me asking if I'd test out a rainbow of lip glosses I immediately jumped at the opportunity - who can resist a little beauty glamour.

I'm going to be honest with all of you - I'm the girl that wears a pale pink or nude lip. I never go outside my boundaries when it comes to lips. So, it's time to step outside my box and challenge myself.

On Friday, I'll be showing you the colors I've worn (from above) this week and telling you what I thought. And of course we'll be adding something extra to this post - a giveaway! Who doesn't need a few more glosses for their handbag?

Be sure to pop back in on Friday!
