Kitten Vixen Cosmetics “Put Your Lips Together” Gloss

Kitten Vixen Cosmetics Put Your Lips Together Peach Provocateur and Tickled Pink, Beauty Blog Discount Code Kitten Vixen Cosmetics has just introduced two new shades of gloss for their "Put Your Lips Together" collection– Peach Provocateur and Tickled Pink.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to sample these glosses as my personal introduction to the Kitten Vixen brand. Right off the bat, I had to admit the extreme sparkle of Peach Provocateur does indeed mimic the look of juice-coated lips that have just indulged in a juicy bite of ripe peach. Peach Provocateur provides a barely-there peach color, combined with an in-your-face shimmer and shine that can not be ignored!

Tickled Pink is a bit more opaque in color. This gloss is a subtle shade of bubblegum pink. Flecks of pearl mixed into the gloss create the illusion of fuller lips! The hint of pink this gloss imparts is very girlish and beautiful.

All of the colors in the "Put Your Lips Together" collection are infused with organic flavoring, leaving an out-of-this-world scent on your lips! These glosses are also extremely moisturizing– my lips felt very soft when the gloss wore off. An added bonus for the winter months!

Kitten Vixen "Put Your Lips Together" glosses retail for $16 at the Kitten Vixen’s Website. But right now Raging Rouge readers can score them for 25% off!

Stocking Stuffer Suggestion #25, Benefit Cosmetics 24k Gloss

This universally flattering Benefit Cosmetics 24k Sexy Gold Lip Gloss is such a wonderful stocking stuffer.

Want a nude lip with a touch of warm shimmer? Wear it directly on the lips. Want a more dramatic look? Apply over lipstick to add a metallic sheen to your favorite shade. Benefit describes this look as "seductive" and I couldn’t agree more!

Benefit Cosmetics 24k Gloss retails for $20 at Benefit Cosmetics.

Sephora Professionnel Platinum Square Retractable Lip Brush

In the market for a new covered lip brush, it didn’t take much deliberation for me to select Sephora Brand Professionnel Platinum Square Retractable Lip Brush #60. The ingenious design allows the brush to stay safely encased in its own handle when not in use, preserving the sable bristles and preventing a glossy mess inside of your makeup bag. To reveal the brush, simply separate the top and bottom part of the handle, and the brush pops out from the inside!

This lip brush retails for $12 at Sephora, and is worth every penny.
