Rozgé Cosmeceutical Lip Gloss Review & Coupon

Have you ever heard of using dragon's blood as an ingredient in cosmetics?  I hadn't, but then I was offered the chance to review Rozgé Cosmeceutical's lip glosses, which boast it as one of their ingredients.  Obviously it's not actually the blood of a mythical creature, but I was interested to learn that dragon's blood is a tree sap from the Amazonian rainforest that's harvested for its healing powers.

The Rozgé Lip Gloss is vegan and made from natural, organic ingredients and is also cruelty-free.  Dragon's blood protects the skin against environmental stressors, and other active ingredients include shea butter, sunflower oil, aloe vera, jojoba oil, and safflower oil.  All of these work together to moisturize and protect the skin.  The gloss also boasts a light-up cap and mirror on the side, making it easy to apply your gloss anywhere at any time!

The gloss is available in 23 different colors, and I received Dublin (coral/orange) and Casablanca (pink with gold shimmer) to try.  I think both colors are absolutely gorgeous and they complemented my skin tones very well.  The gloss itself isn't sticky at all, in fact I was surprised at how lightweight the formula was.  One application gives a nice touch of color, but more can be applied for a more vibrant appearance.  I love that they have the mirror and light-up cap, it really does make using them so much more convenient!

NYC New York Color Liquid Lip Shine Review

This is the last VoxBox review I'll post for a little while, but I saved one of the best for last!  I received a NYC New York Color Liquid Lip Shine in the shade "Nude York City" in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox and I absolutely adore it.  I'm a lip product junkie, so I'm always up for testing different glosses and balms.

I was familiar with the NYC New York Color brand before testing the product through Influenster, but I had never tried the Liquid Lipshine before.  The brand offers "products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 to $4.99."  I shop at drugstores for cosmetics a lot, so I have no problem with buying a lip gloss that costs less than $5; the listed price is $2.49 for one tube.  These glosses come in a broad range of shades (10 total, some of which are pictured above).  The Liquid Lipshine contains pure pigments that create a 3-D gloss effect on your lips.  Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel, and the formula is non-sticky, shiny, and soft.  They are available at stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, etc.

Each Holiday VoxBox contained the same shade: Nude York City.  I really liked testing this out because I had been thinking about purchasing a nude lip color, and this gave me the perfect opportunity!  The first thing I noticed about the gloss is that it smells really good; the scent reminded me of a vanilla cupcake.  The shade matches the color of my skin pretty closely, so it basically looks like a sheer gloss on my lips.  It really is the perfect "nude" shade for me.  I also appreciate that the gloss lives up to the "non-sticky" claim on its label.  It feels like it really moisturizes my lips and absorbs into them, as opposed to just sitting on top of them and feeling gooey.

Bottom Line: The NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine gets a thumbs up from me.  They are super affordable, easily accessible, and work well.  Anyone looking for a quality gloss that won't break the bank will really enjoy these.  I want to get a red shade next.
