That’s right. Not only do you have to be smooth, nowadays you have to be shiny as well :P

What is it: Aura Science’s Shine glosses. Discontinued, so this’ll be short! After all, hemlines rise while the economy falls, right? If you remember, I’m also in love with their two-layered Reflect glosses. I love these more, though!! (But the Reflect applicators were way cooler.)

(Stop that. The economy is an excuse to wear a cute miniskirt, not to pretend that shirt is a dress. WEAR PANTS… leggings don’t count!)

My camera hates me and I’m a skint student.
So photo is a little too orange.

Basically: they’re packed with shine, incredibly smooth, and absolutely gorgeous. I have Star Coral and Lippy Nude, both of which I adore! Star Coral is the wearable type of coral, and just a dab of it, sheered out, brightens and intensifies any other lip colour. Lippy Nude, on the other hand, is a stunning dusty plum. It’s pretty much what I’ve been looking for all my life — the shimmer-free MLBB gloss, perfect for a meeting with the boss or drinks with the girls.

I’ll let the photos do the talking.

The verdict? If you stumble across these in sale threads, definitely go for them. If not, don’t fret! I’m posting this today because I found a new gloss yesterday that I love just as much — honestly — as I love these. But I’m keeping the name and brand to myself until I post it… I promise I won’t leave you in suspense for too long!!
