LipSense Diamonds: Frost yourself!

Last year when I signed up to be a distributor, the Diamond Collections were just being released. It was quite the elusive highlight of the SeneGence line up! However, due to the extreme popularity I never really got the opportunity to enjoy demos or really even wear these gorgeous colors while they were available for purchase.

Today, I was sitting here working when my phone beeped to signal new inventory. Lo and behold, welcome back to Caramel Apple Diamond, Sheer Berry Diamond, Bombshell Diamond and the highly coveted and never duplicated DIAMOND KISS GLOSS!

Since I got a Diamond collection last winter, I was lucky enough to still have my old testers of the four returning Diamond items. And some of my customers that bought them last year shared selfies with me!

Since these colors are made with diamond dust, they are higher priced than the normal colors and glosses. Each color retails for $30 and the Diamond Kiss Gloss retails for $22. 

Each color is very similar to the original with the exception, being of course, the diamond dust that has been added to the tube. 

All three pictures below are a comparison between the original color and the diamond color, both with Diamond Kiss Gloss layered on top:

Bombshell Diamond with Bombshell

Sheer Berry Diamond with Sheer Berry

All beautiful, all classy, and all very glittery and sparkly due to the diamond dust!

But....my favorite part of this collection? The Diamond Kiss Gloss!!!!

Unlike the glitter glosses, Diamond Kiss Gloss is not a suspension of glitter in clear gloss, but is a complete mixture of an opaque silver gloss with diamond dust in it. It's frosty, it's glittery, it's sparkly, it's perfect, and it will enhance the diamond collection as well as make ANY LipSense color sparkle like it is made with diamonds. 

The only thing I would mention about the Diamond Kiss Gloss that is different from the other glosses is that it does have a slight texture to it due to the diamond dust whereas the other glosses which are variations of the slick and smooth Glossy Gloss.

But the effect? Truly worth it. 

I have Diamond Kiss Gloss in stock which retails for $22. The Diamond Collection colors are available for order through me or here at my website which retail for $30 each. They are higher than the standard glosses and colors due to the fact that they contain genuine diamond dust in them. I do have testers available of all three colors and the gloss if you would like to visit me this weekend in Cleburne at the Pioneer Days event or next weekend at the Willow Bend Shopping Extravaganza at the Shops at Willow Bend and will be happy to order any color that you like for you! These are limited edition which means that once they are sold out, they are gone!

So....frost yourself!!!! It's time for the holidays!

Icicle: The colorless color

My sponsor says that Icicle is the only time I have annoyed her with my questions. And that's because I couldn't understand what this was when I first heard about it. Why in the world would you make a LipSense without pigment? So the incessant questions: "Is it a gloss?" "Is it a primer?" "Is it a color diffuser?"

The answer: Icicle is whatever you want it to be because the uses for it are so limitless. BUT IT IS NOT A GLOSS! If you want to wear this as a clear color, you will need to top it with Glossy Gloss or one of the other fantastic glosses. I recently sold this to a customer who didn't want color, but wanted this to layer under Silver Glitter Gloss. No complaints yet and it was exactly what she wanted!

I almost hate to post an article raving about how great Icicle is because it is a retired item, but I have sixteen of them at the date of this article in my inventory. It's not a big seller because it doesn't have color in it. But, if after reading this article you decide that you just have to have it, let me know and you can purchase one of my precious Icicle children. And every time I find a distributor with more Icicle children needing a forever home, I raise my hand!

Things to use it for:

1) You can use it as a primer. That is what I primarily use it for. I apply it on my clean bare lips FIRST before I apply LipSense. It smooths out your lips, creates an even surface for your lip color, and fills in any divots, cracks or gaps. And doing this actually makes your color easier to remove, because ICICLE is the one that adheres to your lips and not the color! Distributors: This is actually a good tip for guests that want to try on more than one color; have your shoppers apply Icicle FIRST and it will make removing strongly pigmented colors such as Fly Girl or Blu-Red a little easier!

2) You can use it to fill in imperfections. I used this quite successfully on a guest at a party who had a large gap in her lower lip due to chapped lips but wanted to wear First Love. Two coats of First Love, one coat of Icicle, another coat of First Love, and a Matte Gloss topper, and GAP BE GONE!

3) You can use it to soften bolder colors. Strawberry Shortcake too red? Top it with Icicle. Sheer Berry too deep? Top it with Icicle. 

4) Are you in love with one of the BlushSense, ShadowSense or a different brand of eyeshadow like green? Try this as a sealer over that item and see what happens! I tried this with Onyx ShadowSense back when Blackberry was retired and it worked great!

It's retired, so once I have run out, it's gone but if you think that this is something that you need to have in your LipSense repertoire, please contact me right away!
