Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D in Lights, Camera, Action: Swatches and Review

The Rimmel Stay Glossy formula has been around forever, but for summer they kicked it up a notch with Stay Glossy 3D!
 
 
The 3D formula has holographic glitter in a semi-sheer base to make your lips really stand out and look extra luscious, and for $5, how can you top that?
 
 
I am really digging the wand on this thing. It is extra long and it picks up a nice amount of the gloss. There is a light rose scent to the gloss (as with most of Rimmel's lip products) but it doesn't bother me.
 
 
Here is a swatch of Lights, Camera, Action by sunlight so you can see the dense shimmer. It is a pale peach base and is really pretty.
 
 
And here is the same swatch in artificial light. If you are looking for crazy intense pigment, you won't find it here, but if you are looking for shine, this has it in spades.
 
 
Although it doesn't lend much color to my lips, it makes them look fuller and very glossy. I love the texture of this gloss as it sticks around for 4 hours (2 less on me than their claim) but never feels tacky. This is also a great layering gloss to amp up any lipstick.
 
Overall, fun summer cheap thrill! Have you tried the 3D gloss yet?
 
Panda Approved.

Cheap Thrill: Essence XXXL Shine Gel-Look Top Coat

Who doesn't love shiny and sparkly things? I swear I am a magpie sometimes. I have so much glitter!
 
So of course I want my nails and manicures to be as shiny as possible right? Right. Now read on.

 
I have become disillusioned with Seche, so I have been on the look out for a new top coat. This struck my fancy, and for $2, you can't beat it. It is a small bottle though, so I will be needing back ups.
 
This XXXL shine gel-look topcoat is amazing. It gives flawless shine for the duration of your manicure, prevents chips, and looks like a professional job. Don't let the "gel" fool you, it removes as easy as regular topcoat. I am in love!
 
Find this at Ulta or Ulta.com.
 
How do you like this cheap thrill of the day?
