ok so i was in barcelona, spain 3 years ago and was shopping when i came across Agatha Ruiz de la Prada's lipgloss line..
i started out with the papaya tin and i STILL have it and use it to this day, sparingly -- because i had trouble finding it online so i thought i'd never see them again

wrong!
i found them online a few weeks ago, and jumped to order the Cherry and the Tutti Frutti flavours...they came this morning (good timing i was feeling like digging a hole and burrying myself in it) and the parcel itself smelled gorgeous!


oh wow... so i got them, and i'm wearing BOTH now...they smell so yummy i keep biting my lips!!

this was the Papaya one i bought in Barcelona:


these are the two i got this morning from spain:


(it's in a different tin now but same yummy goodness)







SOOOOO... what are your fave lip glosses???
[Edited 8/18/06 9:10am]

damn pictures...alright, gimme a sec

Is it flavored?

ok yummy pictures up

i know this thread will die but im *actually* in somewhat of a kinda good mood so whatev

ThreadCula said:

no but they smell absolutely heavenly!!!
i think it would be a bad idea if they were flavoured...i'd only apply it to eat it

think those Freezies, like the white ones or the red ones (my fave) they smell like those!

This stuff is my crack. I buy three at a time because I'm prone to misplacing them and will not be without it!

The weird part is, I've never in my life had a Dr Pepper. I don't even drink soda.

U're not the first person I've heard say that
What do they put in that tube?!!

ThreadCula said:

Really??? I've never met a fellow addict!

The reason I love it is that it's not only smooth and moisturizing, but it has a perfect touch of color. Most lip glosses with a hint of color either don't show up at all, or show up with a weird color. This stuff just kind of intensifies your natural lip color no matter what it is. It's thex-ay.

Yep! I knew quite a few young ladies who would keep em in their pockets and bust it our in mid conversation

I knew a lady who had a variety. Dr pepper,7up and sunkist

FunkMistress said:

oh man, that brings me back!
lipsmackers!!!
i haven't bought one of those in the longest of time!
and you're right, the tint on that is perfect for any set of lips...its just right
im gunna need to invest in a tube now

SammiJ said:

I heart Bonne Bell.

I've even had guy friends use it and wipe a little off after. It makes their lips look yummy and sexy without looking like they're wearing lip gloss.

i used to buy these 2 @ a time, they smell like candy and the moisture and shine are a bonus

SammiJ said:

I used to looooove that stuff when it first came out!

FunkMistress said:

now i'll hafta invest in some for the boyfriend

FunkMistress said:

it's sick how many of those i owned @ one time
i had one in each jean pocket (4 pairs), and one in my tote bag while the other in my purse

it's been a while since i've used it, i think that's more for my winter wear

SammiJ said:

It's a good idea.

Has anybody tried these?



I'm intrigued, but the colors look funny.

FunkMistress said:

burt's bees products are HELLAgood
is that with a tint? i've never seen it before
if i ever see it i'll give it a try!


*reapplies prada gloss*

FunkMistress said:

I have that.....the exact same shade too It's probably the best moisturizing gloss I have, but it's not as glossy as I'd like it to be. I like my gloss really shiny. The tint is very subtle....the way I like it. I hate extreme red shades. It becomes too unnatural looking....ironically I like clowns. Bonne Belle still rocks for when I just want soft tasty lips. I've lost count of how many I have.....because they're so cheap I buy more than one at a time. They just accumulate. I never thought I'd still be using a lip balm brand that I was using since the age of 6. It definitely has staying power.....and never ending flavors.

The container alone makes me wanna buy that

AnckSuNamun said:

it smells delish!
the only thing was the price
it alone is 5$ which is OK, but because of shipping and customs...
i needed a treat, and the one tin lasted me 3 years and counting (march next year will be 4, and i guarantee it'll still be around LOL)
so i got more than my money's worth with that one, even tho the first really WAS 5$...
these other two with the shipping and customs will have to work a wee bit harder for the money

SammiJ said:

$5 is a good price.....that's how much that Burt's Bees one costs. I go through Lip gloss like crazy because whenever I eat or drink something I always wipe my gloss off, so I'm constantly re-applying. I just can't stand having globs of gloss on my glass or silverware. Some gloss can be really expensive like around $20 for a small tube. The stuff I've been buying has been doing me good, so I doubt I'll be paying that much for gloss. I forgot to mention L'oreal's Glam Shine



that one is pretty awesome.....not only is it glossy, but it has little sparkles in it.

I like this but you have to be careful how much you put on or you look like you just dunked your head in a gloss vat

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

that's true!!

AnckSuNamun said:

i've seen before, it looks so tiny!
and speaking of sparkles!!!


it's so pretty, and pretty transluscent so you're not smeared in tacky colour, it's so pretty!!!

SammiJ said:

i just used the word "pretty" WAY too many times in that post

I can't stand stuff that is too waxy but don't really like turning my lips into a slip and slide either. It's really tricky for a guy
