PRODUCTS REVIEWED:

"See The Light! Illuminating Lip Gloss" Spring Colors ($22) available in:

"All Fired Up" - sheer, rich coral with light shimmer.

"Kiss Me" - honeysuckle, blushing pink with just a hint of shimmer.

As I mentioned in the video, I first saw Beauty For Real at The Makeup Show last year and was intrigued. I'm so glad that I got a chance to sample products from this line!  BFR's "See The Light! Illuminating Lip Glosses" are not only ingenius but also beautiful. Every woman that wants luscious looking lips without pain or a high price tag needs to head over to their website ASAP! I know I plan on purchasing several more colors myself. I absolutely LOVE them!
