Extreme Sheen Lipgloss in Siren
I love the blue top I’m wearing in this picture, but I’m not entirely proud of the stretchy black pants I’m wearing with it (too many 100 Grand bars before, during and after Halloween), even though they’re incredibly comfy.
How comfy are they? Well, they’re almost as comfy as the glosses in the new Hourglass Extreme Sheen Kit ($45).
Yes, you read that correctly. The three glosses in the limited edition holiday set are almost as comfortable as stretchy pants. 🙂 And they’re some of the most delightful lip products I’ve ever worn.
The colors in the kit lean toward the warm end the color spectrum, like Ignite, a golden peachy pink; Siren, a shimmery reddish copper; and Child, a pale warm pink.

cupcakes, I pretend like I have frosting on my lips when I’ve got them on (they’re flavor-free, though).
They’re also mad moisturizing! If I put ’em on when my lips feel dry when I get up in the morning, my lips really do look and feel better by the end of the day, almost like a healing lip balm.
Wear time varies among the shades. The darkest one, Siren, lasts from 4-6 hours with very little fading, while the lighter colors, Child and Ignite, last between 2 hours and 4.
