New Yves Saint Laurent Touche Brilliance
YSL has a beautiful looking now gloss, Touche Brilliance, Sparking Touch for Lips.
From the website:
Touche Eclat’s concept is now applied to lips, thanks to a new generation of mother-of-pearl that promotes unparalleled radiance: the lips are dressed up with an irresistible iridescent brilliance.
It looks fabulous, and I love that it has a built in brush applicator. Fifteen shades are available. This one is definitely going on my want to try list!

Redpoint Cosmetics Volumizing Lipgloss
Redpoint cosmetics has a number of interesting and high quality product. I was sent a sample of their Volumizing Lip Gloss, and while I didn’t see any signs of plumping from it in the traditional, make your lips tingle sense, I did find it to be OK as a standard gloss.
Redpoint’s gloss is on the thicker side, with a high amount of pigment. So the color is quite good with it. I reminds me a lot of the thicker MAC lipglasses, but Redpoint doesn’t have that initial stickiness that MAC sometimes has.
Redpoint calls the gloss volumizing, but this isn’t really a plumper as far as I can tell. At least it doesn’t work on the concept of adding irritants to swell the lip. Instead, its concept is based on pigments and light reflectors to create an appearance of fuller lips and the addition of general anti-aging ingredients–something I appreciate in a lip product.
I tried a nude/pink shade that worked OK with my pale skin, but lacked color for my tastes. So, I was happy with it, but I would love to more shades in this gloss. It is one I would most certainly buy in additional shades that had a bit more color to them. If you are looking for a really light shade nude gloss though, the light Redpoint shade may be a good one to try.

MAC Tendertones
This summer, MAC brings back its limited edition Tendertones lip balms. If buy just one limited edition lip item this year, I recommend that it be one of these!Tendertones are pot lip balms with SPF 12. The balm is on the glossy side, with a bit of tint and a moisturizing, glossy sheen. They taste terrific too–we are talking seriously terrific here!
I like to think of these as more of a pot gloss than a balm, but with all of the benefits a lip balm can provide. That makes them perfect for wearing out on summer days when SPF is ideal, but you want your lips to show some shine and color.
Grab a few Tendertones while you can, otherwise you could end up like I did last year: missing out and wishing in hindsight that you had bought some!
