Lipgloss Break - Three Custom Color Specialists Whisper Gloss

Every season, Three Custom Color Specialists chooses their favorite runway beauty trend. For Spring ’09, they were particularly intrigued by the seductively bronzed cheeks, smoldering eyes and moist, kissable lips at Donna Karan, Milly, Juan Carlos Obando and Carlos Miele. Inspired by this sexy look, the Specialists created WHISPER, a creamy shimmering nude with fine flecks of gold and bronze, which is available in both their award- winning sheer lipstick formula and makeup artist favorite creamy lip gloss. WHISPER works with the natural pink in your lips to create a soft look that is universally flattering.

I'm new to this brand and I've got to say, I love this gloss. This is the exact shade I have been looking for: a light bronze shimmer that I can pair with smokey eyes and bronzed cheeks. The gold specks in the gloss sparkle just the right amount when the light hits them. The gloss goes on smooth (some glosses with sparkle can fill a bit grainy on your lips) and is long lasting. Two thumbs up!

WHISPER SHEER LIPSTICK and WHISPER LIP GLOSS ($18.50 ea.) will be available in March at www.threecustom.com, toll-free at 888.262.7714 and at select boutiques worldwide.
