Too Faced cosmetics is very glamorous and high-end and has some really innovative products. What I like best about Too Faced cosmetics, besides the high quality of the makeup itself, is that it's touted as being tested only on celebrities, not animals, and I really love to support and promote anything that bears such a claim. I also love the creativity and innovation of Too Faced, and the Too Faced Mirror Mirror lip gloss has it all - nice packaging and design; lovely colours; great ingredients; and good (recession-times) price!

What I like most about this product (next to the no animal testing policy) is that it contains natural goji berry extract (one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature) and jojoba seed oil (which is very good for the skin). The smell/taste is not the greatest or that amazing, but it's nice and not offensive at all. One of the glosses that I tried smelled very much like banana cream pie, which was nice. I have to admit that the aroma does surpass the quality of even Dior glosses though, so that's saying something!

The shine of this lip gloss is great and definitely ultra-glam, but the colours are subtle, so if you're looking for strong, high-impact colour, this isn't it; however, as stated before, the shine and subtlety work well together and do look really glamourous all the same. Because of the rich emollient nature of these glosses, the comfort factor is high, and I found that the moisture lasted virtually all night and into the early morning.

There are several different colours of the Too Faced Mirror Mirror lip gloss:

I Love Myself: A transparent pink.

Don't Hate Me: A beigey peach.

Envy Me: A hot currant.

I'm Perfect!: A sun-kissed beige.

I Know You Want Me!: Crystal clear.

Damn, I'm Hot: A sensual red.

Again, the colours are very subtle, so some of them don't vary much when you put them on and appear to be almost the same colour. It is also recommended that one apply the glosses to the centre of the mouth to create the appearance of a fuller pout. It can also be used over lipstick, which is an idea I really like.

You can also find the Too Faced Mirror Mirror glosses in a set of four mini-glosses. It comes in a really cute little case that makes a perfect gift and only costs $25.00. This is a great time to invest in trying the Too Faced Mirror Mirror lip glosses to see if you like them. I guarantee you will.
