Cod the consumer....... checks out...LIP GLOSS

CodDickinson · 16/11/2007 17:45

ok this a new weekly thread that will be amalgamated into the mail out( i'm told) so we can all have a good ol' shufty at certain products.

Are aiming to change it every week( maybe at the weekend so you cna pop into the shops and have a look yourseves) and subject - wise go from the sublime to the ricidulous.

So whether its nail varnish or Knickers we WILL SUSS IT. Together.. Amen.

what we need is your opinions on ech product and if you are willing to try out a new product then PLEASE join in and buy it( any excuse eh?) and then we will set up some kind of testing parameters.

so this week is lip gloss, we are looking for :

  1. Quality of packaging /10
  2. Colour choice
  3. depth of colour
  4. longevity ( this'll be fun testing this)
5 scent
  1. wow factor - does ANYONE even notice.

so that out of 60.

Im going to buy a mid range one i think - maybe Boirjois to get us off to a start.

If you are doing an existing one please look at the colour choices as they are now, not when you bought it in 1992.

EW.

ahundredtimes · 16/11/2007 17:55

Okay. I'll do this.

I'm going to go and buy one tomorrow. Can I buy some high end number and get ripped off, and we'll all be amazed to discover that the Boots one is OH SO better than the Laura Mercier one from Space NK?

I'm going to be the thread snob, and will get my come uppance at the end.

OK?

Ok so I feel I need some lip gloss, actually I think what i need is a lip moistener so lips my don't chap in the cold air, but assume gloss will do, will it? and if so what brand do you want me to test (bear in mind my choice will be limited to what they sell in Tescos superstore beccaue I'm out in the sticks this weekend.)

brimfull · 16/11/2007 17:59
