Who knew green lipgloss could be so wearable?
Kermit Bale may have known, but I sure didn’t. With Prescriptives Exhilarating Lip Gloss in Guava ($14.50), it actually IS easy being green.
It’s not easy being green… Or is it?
Guava gloss is limited edition and part of the Exhilaration collection, Prescriptives’ latest tropic-themed collection for cheeks, lips and eyes.
It looks almost transparent on my lips, adding just the faintest touch of shiny, greenish gold.
The gloss itself feels slightly thick on my lips, yet it’s not sticky at all. I don’t mind the subtle fruity flavor, either. It seems appropriate for the product, all things considered.
If you dig super sheer lip colors, you might give Guava a try.
Papaya Lipcolor
I almost forgot to mention how it looks layered above coral lipsticks like Exhilarating Lipcolor in Papaya ($17.50), another LE item from the summer collection.

Papaya all by her lonesome
Swatches of Papaya and Guava
I would wear any of these lips with a green or gold eye look and coral cheeks.
Of course, to complete a summery makeup look, you really should have a cute summer dress to go along with it, right? I like these two from Old Navy.
Teleport me to Turkey
Last night I was reading the April issue of Conde Nast Traveller, British Edition and found this really cool Turkish swimming pool with an underwater sound system.
The pool is at the Hillside Su hotel, which looks awfully swanky doesn’t it? It’s in the city of Antalya on the Turkish Riviera.
I say we drop everything and book reservations, LOL!

Hey Karen!
Guava seems to be a popular flavor, I think The Body Shop just brought out a new pink guava lip balm that I want to try. I adore the lip balms from The Body Shop, they are nicely flavored but don’t have any taste and give the slightest bit of color and make your lips look super juicy and delicious!! You should try them, oh and one of my favorites is the Cranberry shimmer balm!
Hi Merylynmagic,
I haven’t tried ’em… you make them sound fab! Next time I go shopping in SF I’ll pop by the store and check them out. 🙂
How’s your Friday going? I’m SOOO ready for the weekend!
i love this !
i so need to check it out
you and i have such similar tastes i just bought the white dress from above !
but its not warm enough this past week to bust it out yet !
i will report i did a nice bright eye today with nars rated r i will send you a pic – i had to do something because it is dreary outside!
Hi Yadi,
I have a feeling that we would have a LOT of fun shopping together for both clothes and music. 😉
I can’t wait to see your nars eye!
Would you believe it’s raining here? BOO!
oh wow. Papaya by itself is beautiful~
Hi Susan,
Yah, it’s a really nice coral.
All of the corals that come out these year make me cuckoo! I love them!
The green looks gorgeous! I’ve been wanting Springbean lustreglass from Mac and this looks pretty good too! The green tones down the Papaya lipstick, so it works either way 🙂
The pool looks amazing! I love Conde Nast Traveller! Great way to dream!

Hi Ally,
I’ve had my eye on Springbean for some time now… I just haven’t gotten around to picking it up. One of these days…
If you end up getting it let me know!
Wow, the gloss looks so pretty in the tube. I am a huge fan of green gloss that I finished a green juicy tube and now I am working on the diorkiss and a MAC tendertone…
I thought I had enough, I think one more shouldn’t hurt!

Hi Citrine,
You’re a girl after my own heart. “Just one more gloss…” are my famous last words. 🙂
I saw this collection today but didnt stop to take a proper look.. maybe tomorrow!
Sometimes im worried about my mental health.. i have an overwhelming desire to eat the guava gloss!
Too much make-up! My brain is fried..

Hi Tali,
I hope you have a safe trip to Istanbul. What kind of work do you do? You’re lucky that you get to travel. 🙂
Speaking of green, I was at a cosmetics company store at a outlet mall recently and found the MAC, Red she Said, “Tempting” e/s collection, which I was dying to get when it was released. I snatched it up at $22.50 and love it! That green color (“sharp” I think?) looks so awesome on my brown eyes. And I would have never thought to try it. Go Green! And I love Kermie.

Hi Amy,

Hi Nicole,
He’s one of my favorite Muppets, too. 🙂
Wow, that combination looks fabulous on you! I have to go take a look at Papaya, I’ve been looking for a coral-ish lipstick for summer lately. How do you like Prescriptive’s formula? My lips can be ridiculously dry, so I can only wear very moisturizing lip products.
