Lips - Lip Gloss Philosophy Melon Daquiri Lip Shine

I normally love all Philosophy products and was disappointed in this lip gloss.   It comes in a great little tube, the taste is super yummy and you get super shiny lips with this.  It looks very sparkly in the tube but it doesn't look like you have lips full of glitter. 
Why I don't like this product is that everytime I open the cap, the gloss is all over the the place and it's messy.



Pros: nice shine, great flavor
Cons: goopy mess when I open the cap

I recently bought this & it came in their Warm By The Fire collection I believe. It tastes amazing, like actual s'mores! It doesnt have a really really sticky texture either.  I cant get enough of Philosophy's lip glosses! They're cute and taste/smell really good.



Pros: taste, smell, texture
Cons:

I normally use Smashbox's primer, but I decided to try this when I ran out mainly because of the price.  It is really excellent!!  Only need to use a little bit and it really helps hide my huge pores and does not make me oily. 



Pros: Great price for amount.
Cons: I have to wait longer than the two minutes it says on the instructions in order for it not to cake in the undereye area.

Sephora recommended this because I wasn't liking Smashbox too much.   This product is very different from other primers.  You do need to give it the full 2 minutes to set - I use the time to brush my teeth.  I do see the difference in my skin when I use this.  I use Bare Escentuals mineral foundation and the only problem is that for whatever reason, The Present cakes up under my eyes, in the inside corners, just a bit, but enough to look bumpy and bad.  It doesn't smooth away after application, either.  I've tried using less and less but it doesn't matter.  So I skip using it under my eyes, which is what I purchased it for, and use Physician's Formula CoverToxTen 50 liquid foundation instead in that area.  The Present does seem to keep the rest of my makeup in place longer than if I didn't use it.  If Philosophy comes out with a tinted version of this (maybe called The Gift?) I would definitely buy it to try.



Pros: Unique from other primers, makes makeup last longer
Cons: Cakes up in a bumpy fashion under my eyes

I recently ordered Philosphy's Big gorgeous eyes mascara from Sephora online, on a whim. I needed a new mascara, and since I love everything philosophy, I thought, why not? Online it said it would "thicken and lengthen lashes to perfection." And I have to admit, I just liked the name of the product.  Honestly though, for paying 22 dollars, I should have went over to CVS and bought some covergirl crap. It didn't do ANYTHING to my lashes, it took like 20 minutes to even get them somewhat close to the length/volume I'm used to. A big disapointment from philosophy.  



Pros: Good name. Cute Packaging.
Cons: The mascara itself.

Great packaging, very portable. Love the mirror on the cap, love that you can wash the spongy thing.  Makeup coverage is too sheer, and i don't find it very buildable.  Very expensive, i really hope that i will be able to refill the container with a better quality mmu.

Makeup Lips - Lip Gloss Philosophy Kiss Me Lip Balm in Sugar Cookie- $10.00

Lips - Lip Gloss Philosophy Kiss Me Lip Balm in Sugar Cookie


Reviewed by: girlnextdoor on 12-18-2006
More Reviews By girlnextdoor

I purchased this because the idea of a sugar cookie scent was very appealing to me. To my disappointment, it doesn't smell like a sugar cookie at all. It smells more like a lemon cookie since it has a very noticeable lemon scent. I happen to like lemon scents so this product is still enjoyable despite the fact that it doesn't smell like what it is named after. It also has a *very* faint lemon taste to it.

The gloss itself is a clear, shimmery, gloss. I happen to like it very much because I'm not always in the mood to wear color. It also leaves my lips feeling pretty soft. However, this is a fairly sticky product you might want to be aware of that fact if you have longer hair. The tube lasts a while so it is pretty much worth the $10 price tag.




Pros: nice and light lemon scent, a nice clear gloss with shimmer
Cons: doesn't smell like what its named after, very sticky

I bought this in my quest for the perfect mineral makeup. I like the foundation, the coverage was decent and made my pores disappear... But I hated that sponge applicator. I didn't like using that same applicator on my face day after day. I tried to shake some of it out into a seperate makeup container and use that, but that didn't work well. So now it's under my sink, next to some lotions and a box of Q-Tips.
 
 
Update: Philosophy now sells replacement applicators for this foundation



Pros: coverage, looks really natural
Cons: applicator, small selection of foundation colors, can be drying

This gloss smells great and it's super shiney!  This particular flavor has a peachy color and it has sparkles which is an added bonus.  I just used a dark lip liner and the gloss blended in with the liner for a sexy look. Also, a little goes a long way.



Pros: Shiney, great smell and hydrating
Cons: Price

This is one of those products that I don't need but can't stop buying/ I just adore the scent. The gloss itself is great. Its not too sticky and doesn't annoy my SO. Its light so I'm not overly aware of it like with heavier glosses.
 
The scent of this is so great. I love the stronge cinna bun smell. Its absolutely delicous.
 
My only problem is that this is a very very basic clear gloss that is noth special out side of its scent. Even though its plain jane, I'll still repurchase because I love it.

This is one of my favorite products from Philosophy. Have you ever tried those amazing body washes they have? I tried the one in the cinnamon buns scent and went wild over it. So I was absolutely ecstatic when they came up with a super shiny lipgloss with the same scent! We're not just talking cinnamon here, were talking that warm, baked, melt in your mouth, covered in frosting cinnamon bun scent. hungry yet?
 
Part of what made this so special when I got it was that they weren't really making tons of scents of lip shine. The lip shine concept I think was relatively new and still I don't think they have tons of scents of this.  Anyway, the full name of this is "very emollient cinnamon buns flavored lip shine". So it does have some flavor but mainly its all about the scent. Don't let this overshadow the quality of the gloss. This is probably the longest lasting clear gloss I own (aside from the other lip shines I got in their "a few good men" set....I'll review that later). Anyway, this is nice alone for a clear, finished look but it is also great over your favorite lipstick. If you think you've got a shiny lipstick, try this over it because you'll be so surprised with what it can do!
 
It seriously takes a LONG time for this stuff to wear off. And it doesn't do that weird peely thing to my lips either. It will stay in place and not move outside your lip line. It's like a long-wearing, moisturizing, amazing smelling, super shiny treatment for your lips!! buy this!



Pros: scent, amazing shine, long lasting, put it over lipstick to make the whole look long lasting and shiny!
Cons: that they haven't made banana bread, blueberry muffins, or any other baked goods flavors already hehe :)

This is one of the best mineral makeup that I have tried.  It comes with a sponge on one end and a mirror on the other, making it very convenient to travel with or put in your purse.  You can use the sponge or use a brush.  It covers all day and very evenly.  I have had one for almost 6 months and still have a third of it left.



Pros: Lasts a long time, convenient, easy to apply.
Cons: none

Sugar Cookie Lip Balm smells delicious!!!!  I wish it tasted like it smells, but it doesn't, so don't lick your lips!  I really like this lip balm, it smells great and feels good on your lips.  The only thing that sucks is the color.  It leaves you with white/frosty looking lips, which is not attractive (at least on me).  So I only use this at night, when no one is looking :).   



Pros: smells yummy, makes lips feel nice
Cons: white/frosty lips

I actually got this as a gift,it says its"clear makeup for fine lines,wrinkles and uneven texture". I put this on after I wash my face ,instead of moisturizer.Only when I know if I am going to put makeup on,because it is a really good primer for your skin to put makeup on.Your foundation goes on a lot smoother and I think it helps make my makeup last longer.It also makes your skin very soft.



Pros: Makes skin smooth,easier to apply foundation.
Cons:

I purchased this as part of a holiday set that they've released for two years in a row.  Mine came in a fairly large plastic jar, but I've seen this flavor released in a newer set with tubes, if you prefer those.
 
This gloss smells wonderful, just like a sugar cookie, with a hint of butter mixed in with the sweetness.  However, it goes on a very thick, frosty silver-white.  If I'm going to wear this outside of my house, I can only dab on the tiniest little bit.  It's a shame, because if it were just clear and glossy I'd be putting it on every five minutes for the smell. 
 
The pot contains a large amount for a lip balm.  I can't find a weight, but they're about an inch deep and the diameter of a golf ball, so you get a lot of gloss.  I just use this at night as a moisturizing balm, and it does okay for that.  It's not terribly glossy, but that's just as well, because I think more shine would make it even less wearable. 



Pros: Really yummy smell, lots of product.
Cons: Unwearable unless you want frosty white lips.
