Why?! Just why?
Some of us may look like we apply our makeup in the dark, we don’t. It’s just a polite expression…
If someone, gently ribbing me happens to say: “Bless, you look like you’ve applied your makeup in the dark!” They’re not telling me to go and purchase a light up mascara wand or lip gloss. They’re telling me to either a). Go get some makeup lessons or b). Put the blue eyeshadow down.
I don’t want LEDs on my cosmetics and I certainly don’t want to pay more for the privilege.
I-Gloss from New <ID Cosmetics…
Lashlight from Too Faced… <tongue in cheek>The mascara that blinds you with light whilst you’re holding a pointy stick 4mm from your eyeball</tongue in cheek>
Nothing says… “Are you 4 or 24?” better than a disco in your lip gloss.
Maybe it’s for those of us that like to go clubbing? ie. Not me. =p
I do find them useless BUT the gosh lipgloss that lights up is expetional!
I’m so with you. Not impressed at all with this idea :-/
Yeah, it’s very gimmicky isn’t it? A light-up massy just sounds plain dangerous! If it was actually dark, then surely it’s too dark for anyone to see whether you’re wearing mascara anyway?!?!
I agree with tali – the GOSH Light’N Shine Lipglaze is amazing
However I totally do not see the point of a light up mascara. I mean why? Unless I suppose you have a power cut…
Hahahahaha!! Cute post! I think it was invented for clubbing ladies and no one else. I once featured the GOSH Lipglaze on my blog. The lipglaze itself is great. The lights, I thought, were just for the fun factor.
@jewel: good point but i never re apply mascara when i am going out. I would agree, do not see the point in LED stuff other than on led pair of tweezers, to see your eyebrow hair ever better.
I wont pay extra for this LED light lipgloss/ mascara, but if it’s the same price, why not? just a bit of fun~
Lippy with a light AND a wee little mirror I understand, beats having to go to a dingy club toilet just to touch up your lip gloss….
mascara with a light is just odd though
I totally agree, it’s stupid! Wouldn’t it just blind you? ♥
P.s. I have a contest on my blog for urban decay makeup
It would be better if they lit up so you could find them in your bag…
The mascara is odd/dangerous/not for me. But with others I like the lighted lipgloss. I have a drugstore brand (can’t remember which, maybe Revlon?) that has a little light and a tiny mirror on the side and I find it perfect for evening outs where I’m going to be in a darkish area and don’t want to run to bathroom every 10 minutes to check my lipgloss. Like other have said, it’s really great for the club/bar scene where the bars are dark and dirty anyways. Additional bonus, in a real pinch you can use it as a tiny flashlight when scrounging in your purse for keys if your cellphone is already dead.
Light up mascara is a bit pointless. Light up lipgloss is good if there’s also a mirror with it, ideal for in clubs and dingy toilets, not that I frequent dingy toilets often…
It is a bit gimmicky though really
I didn’t even contemplate clubbing…
…’cos well, I don’t. anymore.
YOU’VE ALL JUST MADE ME FEEL REALLY OLD.
THANKS.
I actually tried the Too Faced Lash Light Mascara and I did not notice any “light reflecting particles” or anything like that. It went on like any other mascara. Black. Disco balls did not reflect off my eyes.
