Amazingly Amazing! Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing lip color

So I was in ulta last week scrambling to find a gift for my Nana. At 87 she looks amazing! She most certainly doesn't look like your average grandma. She still dyes her hair and puts on her makeup everyday so I thought some good quality eyeshadow would be a nice gift for her! I got her a beautiful Smashbox palette but I think I was more excited about it than she was!

Anyway I know she isn't up to par with her makeup brands so in the past I got her some Bare Minerals and I know she's familiar with it. Unfortunately they were sold out of their holiday palette so in the meanwhile I tested out some of their lip colors in my everlasting quest to find a perfect nude and that's when I came across the Pretty Amazing lip color in Free Will. I tried a bit of it on and liked the color but thought nothing more of it until about an hour later when I realized, wow this stuff is still holding pretty strong!
I don't exactly know how to explain this stuff except its kind of a hybrid of lipstick and lipgloss but unlike some of the other "long lasting" glosses this one doesn't make your lips feel like you put Elmer's glue on them! Ugh I hate that feeling! They go on nicely and then after a while they feel like $h!t! It doesn't smell bad either which is a big thing for me. o will never buy L'oreal lipsticks again because the smell is so horrific. The price isn't terrible either, $16 for one and its a decent size. I found that pretty reasonable in comparison to other lipglosses/lipsticks in the same realm. The color selection is kind of small but it does vary from nudes, to reds and everything between.

Overall I definitely think this stuff is worth a mention if you are looking for a nicely pigmented long lasting lipstick/lipgloss. It definitely is pretty amazing in my book and I am looking forward to trying some more!
