CoverGirl ShineBlast Review: The Latest Lip Gloss!

covergirl reviews, covergirl product launch, ShineBlast review

When I was 10, my best friend had a raging crush on my cousin. Who could blame her? He was charming, funny and utterly handsome. In an effort to win his affections, she dressed in her finest and had me photograph her holding a tube of lip gloss– an attempt to convince him she was a model, and therefore worth dating.

The gloss she held in that oh-so-convincing Poloroid was CoverGirl LipSlicks, the “go-to” gloss of every 5th grade girl in the know. Many years later (exact number of years omitted to protect the ancient) CoverGirl launches ShineBlast, immediately propelling my mind to those sweet girlhood memories.

ShineBlast will hit retailers in January 2010, in 16 girlish fruity-scented shades. This gloss is shiny to the extreme, sheer, and a welcome addition to my makeup bag. But you, my dear readers, are no commoners! Click HERE for an opportunity to buy the latest by CoverGirl before these items ever hit the shelves! Select your hair and eye color using their interactive product selection tool, and you can get an idea of what the different shades will look like on YOU! If you decide to buy, you’ll get $5 off of your order plus free shipping from drugstore.com. You only have until 12/5 for this offer, so hurry to take advantage of the deal. Have fun!

Suggested retail price is $7.49.
