Like many women, I love lipgloss. I love the way it goes on so easily, making it feel a lot more casual than lipstick, and I love the way I look so much more polished after applying it. But, I don't love all lipglosses -- I don't like them if they're too sticky, too smelly, too glittery, not shiny enough, or if they bore me in any way. And, the biggest problem: Many of them dry out my lips to the point of being painful.

I recently had the opportunity to try out a couple of lipgloss colors from Cosmoholic Cosmetics, a company started by a woman who had worked as a makeup artist and was frustrated by the lack of vibrant lipgloss colors. She created a collection of seven colors, each with a nourishing "repair kit" for your lips to keep them moisturized and protected from irritants. No fragrances are included, but vanilla and macademia nut oil are used for moisturizing in addition to vitamin E, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

So how did Cosmoholic hold up to my picky pout?

Really, really well. I tried Promiscuous Pink and Gold Digger. The pink is really pretty -- a little brighter than what I normally wear, but that's sort of the point of these "liquid lipsticks." The gold has a lot of shimmer and while on its own it's a little too gold, it looks absolutely gorgeous when added to the pink (or any other lip color I have in my house, which is a lot!).

And, the biggie -- how does it feel? It's soft and not sticky, really moisturizing, and just the right thickness. Honestly, it feels more like I'm wearing chapstick than lipgloss.

Want to try it for yourself? It's available here for $20. If you're worried about selecting a color online (because I always am), you can send your picture in and Cosmoholic will help you select the best color for you -- you can't beat that kind of service!
