I had a field day twice at the drugstore cosmetics counter. Each time I visited Jean Coutu, I purchased 2 lipsticks and 1 lip gloss. They were about $5 cnd each on sale. I've been a fan of Vinyl Glosses by Rimmel since high school. If you want a starter color, I would definitely recommed East End Snob.
Their glosses and lipsticks smell delicious and they don't feel too sticky or drying. Between the purple florescent tubes and the darker tubes, the darker ones smell even better. Here they are left to right:
^^ sunrise & smitten
Nude Delight 700 - more opaque coverage, matte and better worn on exfoliated lips as a base under gloss. this color acts as a concealer for more pigment lips.
Vintage Pink 180 - a pretty dirty pink with some mauve in it, glides on very smooth... very pretty for everyday or smokey eyed evenings.
Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipstick:
Paradise 050 - surprised people haven't raved about this color much, a very gorgeous bronzey pink which is perfect for tanned skin.
Airy Fairy 070 - raved about like crazy on youtube, it is said to be a Mac Viva Glam V or Fabby dupe. It's a creamy pink-beige, hard to describe. It's very wearable for everyday.
Vinyl Glosses:
Smitten 113 - a coral pink, no sparkles, turns up like a sheen and not completely opaque
Sunrise 199 - pink-orange with gold sparkles, it's like a less pigmented Mac Sublime Shine Dazzle Glass.
