Holiday 2012: Mally Slimline Lip Gloss Library.

Looking to spread a little holiday gloss this year? You can't go wrong, especially with a beautiful 10 piece gift of gloss like this Mally Slimline Lip Gloss Library. With 10 high shine liquid lipsticks, which are really so much more than just a gloss, this gift set is perfect for any woman on your list.

The Liquid Lipstick is wonderful. It is very highly pigmented, creamy soft, applies easily through the twist up pen, and it smells and tastes delicious. It lasts a good few hours on my lips before having to reapply.

The set is housed in a beautiful box that is easy to wrap and beautiful to keep and reuse. It has a magnetic wrap around closure.

The colors range from a very natural gloss to a pink red. Here is the complete list:

• Supernatural
• Blossom
• Pouty Pink
• Starburst
• Perfois Pink
• Orchid
• Summer Peach
• Heartbreaker
• Fuzzy Navel
• Sweet Berry

Each gloss is .04 oz, which is an ideal size.  It's much more than a travel or "mini" size, though not as large as a full .12 oz. Honestly, who uses a full gloss anyway? I rather have a variety. At $39.96, it is less than $4.00 a piece, which is still a fraction of the regular $20 per piece full size price.

Lip gloss sets are perfect to give for the holidays. I buy multiple complete sets and give as intended - as a set. I also buy multiple lip gloss sets and break them up. I like to tie a lip gloss on top of every gift that I am giving to a woman, as a little special added touch of beauty.

Buy the Mally Slimline Lip Gloss Library at QVC for $39.96.
