A lip gloss plug
I got a FREE Jordana Cosmetics Lip Out Loud Super Shiny Gloss from some giveaway or other; I enter so many that I can't remember. It's not a product test, and I didn't agree to review it. I'm posting because it surprised me. The color they sent is called "XLNT," and it looks like a DARK grape purple, like something only a goth kid would dare use. On their site

they call it "deep burgundy plum." Something made me try it. The sponge applicator put a scary-looking glob on my lip, but once it was actually spread out over my entire mouth it was very sheer and amazingly flattering, not purple-y at all. I would never in a billion years have bought this color, but I'll try wearing it, and if it wears decently it'd certainly be worth $2 to actually buy it; their lipsticks outlast every other brand (cheap lipsticks always do, as the more expensive ones are soft and creamy which means they fade fast) so I'm hopeful.
It just goes to show you; lip glosses can be tricky... you really do have to just take the plunge and try new ones.
