Reviews By Type
Urban Decay UltraGlide Lip Gloss
No matter the reason, no matter the season, Urban Decay's Ultraglide glosses remain a favorite here at the Raging Rouge Beauty Blog. Why? The super-rich formula is more opaque than most glosses (Urban Decay describes this gloss as the "love child of lip gloss and lipstick"), added Vitamin E keeps lips smooth and soft even after the gloss has worn off and the shades available range from gash (a deep shimmering red) to video (a nude shimmer).
Bonuses include the long-lean profile of the tube (fits easily into even the thinnest clutch bag) and the delicious flavors (cola, cinnamon roll, and angel food cake among them)!
Retail price is $17.

Cargo PlantLove Lip Gloss
Cargo's new PlantLove glosses might look "no-frills", but the contents are nothing but luxe. These glosses are–quite literally–like butter on the lips. Extremely moisturizing, the natural and organic ingredients used in the PlantLove formula are also free of parabens, phalates, petro-chemicals, synthetic dyes and fragrances!
Need another reason to try this gloss? How about saving the environment? The outer carton is made of 100% post consumer waste, and produced in a facility that has a zero carbon footprint. Go green!
Available in 8 colors, my standout favorite is the warm, golden bronze shade named "Bonsai" that's ideal for Fall and Winter.
Retail price is $20.

AG Hair Cosmetics Re:Coil
There was a time I embraced my naturally curly hair, particularly in the summer. After years of fighting with diffusers, I realized that less is more. The way to ensure my waves looked their best was to do nothing at all.
But this past summer was different. I would let my hair air-dry, but my tresses would look limp and lifeless. I was afraid that my hair had been tortured into straight submission just one too many times, and gave up on my curls.
When I had the chance to sample AG Hair Cosmetics re:coil, I was skeptical. Certain my hair needed more help than shampoo, conditioner and balm could possibly give, I reluctantly decided to give the trio a try. Surprisingly, this recently introduced product line actually gave my curls the boost they needed. The second day I used them, I saw even more improvement!
If you have curls… you need re:coil!
