Emani, Gleam Lip Radiance, Anastasia Beverly Hills' glosses best for Fall 2011

By April MacIntyre Oct 5, 2011, 23:28 GMT

The line offers long-lasting color that’s infused with Vitamin E and organic fruit oils to keep lips soft while giving them a healthy shine. The Emani gloss line features mattes and shimmers.

This season sees a return of the fleshy nude and glossy finish, along with the classic red lips and carved mattes for evening lip colors.

The best in lip gloss for Fall 2011 features some fleeting special purchase deals that are so good, they will not be in stock by Christmas.

For us the mandatory requirement for best in class is that the glosses are organic and made with botanical bases, and they must be cruelty-free and made in the USA. Their textures must not be sticky, runny or greasy and feel good and last on the mouth. 

These three exceptional gloss lines are good for the lips. All the glosses mentioned below actually improve lip texture and look, while being tested by dermatologists and they are free of harmful chemicals or additives.

Meet your three new best lip friends for the Fall / Winter 2011 season:

Why I love this? The colors are spot on, the price point is reasonable and the feel and last is superior to glosses twice its price.

The line offers long-lasting color that’s infused with Vitamin E and organic fruit oils to keep lips soft while giving them a healthy shine. The Emani gloss line features mattes and shimmers.

My favorite for the new colors is Rain Maker, a nude warm pink that is so J Lo gorgeous.

GLEAM By Melanie Mills: Lip Radiance and Gleam Body Radiance gift set

http://www.gleambymelaniemills.com/

This is a special set that you can order online at the website. Melanie Mills is a gifted Emmy Award-winning artist who has stretched her craft to encompass High Fashion makeup design and production, multimedia art installations - all topped off by creating her own makeup line.

Lip Radiance is a debut color gloss; a rich nude gloss that flatters a wide variety of skintones and is made with a botanical base that improves lip texture.

You can order this in a special Holiday gift set along with Mills' signature product and a staple in makeup trailers all over Hollywood: Gleam Body Radiance. The velvet finish it leaves on skin covers scars and all kinds of sins in a transfer-resistant base.

Gleam was invented by Mills on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" because the shiny finishing body creams and lotions on the market were too thin, runny, greasy and too limited in color range for what the body makeup department needed to perfect the spray tans that often were uneven looking on camera.

The set has two 2 ounce tubes (you select from four colors) of Gleam Body Radiance, a skin perfecting densely pigmented body makeup, plus the new Lip Radiance, a perfect gloss that lasts and makes lips better for it.

Mills' special anti-oxidant Gleam Complex includes Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Kalpariane (wrinkle-filler), Green Tea and White Tea extracts, Vitamin E Acetate, Aloe Vera, Cucumber, Calendula, Marshmallow, Cornflower,  Lemon, Alfalfa, Grapeseed and Rose Hip among its ingredients. $60 ($84 value).
