Godiva LicoWhite Lip Gloss

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.

Today, I bought the Godiva LicoWhite Lip Gloss with Vitamin C because it promises to "help give dark lips a pinkish tinge". Well, I hope so. Soft-pink lips evade me for some reason, no matter what lipbalm I use (I'm a former user of Chapstick and Nivea) so when I passed this by in Watsons, I was very interested if this could help me with my lip hue problem.


My lips really boggle me for some reason... I have never smoked in my life and still there are times when my lips are so grayish! When it gets worst, my lips would look as if I was drinking suka and smoked 2 cigars a day. I try to remedy it with Alba Terra Tints organic lipbalm but even that doesn't help! I want to try going out without lipgloss/stick on. I'm putting my hope on Godiva LicoWhite to remedy this.

The Godiva gloss is priced at P107: Pricier than Nivea and Chapstick, but cheaper than the lipbalm I currently use now. I tried it last night and I was surprised that it had NO SMELL AT ALL. Really, wala talaga. Its kind of weird, even Petroleum Jelly has a slight smell. Anyway, it glides on very smoothly, and it doesn't feel heavy at all. I'm thinking that I'll only use this before I go to sleep, so the vitamin c can work its magic overnight.

Crossing my fingers for good results!

I was bumming around the mall and I went to an HBC store. There I found the nicest, richest shade of lipgloss ever! It's almost pigmented like a lipstick, without that heavy, thick feeling, plus it's enriched with Vitamin E and C, too! Because it's San-San Cosmetics, you can always be assured that their products won't make a dent in your pockets. On top of everything, San-San Lipgloss #2 is priced at P62.00 only (approx. less than $2)--- I have to admit it's a sweet find!

Currently I use Terra Tints 70% Organic tinted lipgloss from Alba Botanicals, which I bought at Healthy Options for P125.00 (approx $3). I like Terra Tints as I have itchy, dry lips sometimes and the minty cooling effect of Terra Tints is a welcome relief. But I discovered that I needed a brighter tint than what they offer, since they only have earth-toned colors.

I'm just going to empty my Alba Terra Tints and use the San-San for a change. Too bad that San-San isn't all-natural. I love using organic, because I feel safe with it. But I just hope using San-San isn't all that terrible.
