Genuinely Generic

Here comes a classic post about pink lipgloss...before you discriminate and close this tab, remember that sometimes the generic posts are the best (although I'm not making any promises)! :P 

I'm trying to use up products like this Clinique lipgloss with SPF 15 before I make my next Sephora run. To be honest it's your solid, average gloss. A little shine, virtually no pigmentation, a pleasant smell and, of course, a tad sticky. To me this is a beauty essential-not because it is necessary in terms of daily makeup routine but 'collection wise'. 

It's just like that clumpy mascara, or the blush you never thought was just right. We all have products that we can't quite rave about. On the other hand we can't make a post bashing them. Instead we enjoy what they are while they last.

Do you have any products like this?

  1. I am not a lip gloss fan & I have a few, but rarely use them. They just lay around waiting for me to forget the stickiness & get fooled again.
    I liked this post, cause it has it's own kind of twist. Followed you, therefor. :)
    Take care,
    xoxo

  2. Looked like a nice gloss! I haven't tried any Clinique lip products before, but their chubby stick balms looked nice! As for a generic product, I'd have to say bright eyeshadows. I never use them, but they're so pretty to look at!
