Texture of XXX?

Post by JenK » Mon Apr 26, 2010 8:26 am

I have 5 SN lipsticks, Eternal and Negligee seem creamier than the others (Raisin, Sultry, Crimson). I was wondering if XXX is extra creamy like Eternal and Negligee? I do have a sample from SN, but the q-tip seems to absorb the oils/butter.

I fried my lips this weekend (sun and wind) and have been using Eternal and Negligee as a base for glosses & Raisin and love the look, feel and lasting power. Thinking about adding XXX to do the same.

Thanks

I have XXX, and the texture feels as soft as Eternal. It goes on smoothly as opposed to the harder feel of the original lippies, for example. Crimson does seem a bit 'harder', but I don't have the other two you mentioned to compare.

Thanks Egerandi. I will add it to my cart. I've even been wearing Eternal to bed b/c it is so buttery.

Have you tried the clear Black Label lip balms? They're the most luxurious conditioning balms that I know of. I can't do without them and heartily recommend them to anyone with lips. 8-)

I second that! I actually use the plumper version of black label for night too, but that's a bit of an overkill, hehe.

I do have Smooth and Full and love it, but I am always misplacing it so I reach for Eternal and Negligee. Funny thing is when I use Smooth and Full I look in the mirror and think "THAT IS THE COLOR I AM LOOKING FOR", then remember that is my natural lip color. It really is like BUTTA (Remember Coffee Talk on SNL...Mike Myers was a riot).

Hah! Yes, sometimes I feel the same way, and I don't want to put any color on, because it's so nice, hehe. But then I would feel a lil naked :)
Butta it is, indeed! BTW, I misplace things all the time (two copies of same lippie , anyone?), so now I have a little saucer in my medicine cabinet that holds my night goodies, including the smooth and full and the luxury treatment powder with a baby kabuki.
