Girls Dig Pearls glosses are amazingly beautiful. They have stunning almost holographic glitters.
I started out with one tube, liked it so well that I then went back for more.
I had an excellent SA at Sephora who showed me that she layered the gloss she bought with Caspian Lustre Liner, so I bought the pencil too. She layered the pencil with Pink Bling GDP gloss, which is what I did today also.
Shade descriptions:
Caspian pencil -- coppery, pink-brown with lustre
Pink Bling -- looks white in the tube with flashes of iridescent, light bright pink glitter
Mermaid -- looks beige in tube, then you notice pink glitter -- I bought this because another SA was wearing it alone on her lip and it was such a beautiful neutral
Shell light pink with pink glitter, the glitter might be the same as in Mermaid
Tropical Pink orchid magenta with deeper bright pink glitter

Top to bottom: Caspian pencil; Pink Bling; Mermaid; Shell; Tropical Pink
Caspian and Pink Bling, using Beauté techniques:
Technique: See more at my blog here.
Applied Pink Bling on lower lip, Caspian on top; smooshed lips together (keeps both clean); used lip brush to add tiny bit of Pink Bling along outer edge of upper lip (it was already on the lower and didn't need touch up.)
Taken in full sunlight
So you can see how pretty it is!

Oh, I just love that lipstick -- everything about it!
Day 2
Mermaid using Pink Bling on rim
I love, love, love this technique. I used Guerlain Lip Lift to block out any stain on my lips so this would be a fairly true picture.
Do you have these glosses? Do you love them?
I wear mine both alone and with the Caspian pencil. I have worn the pencil alone also. I have not worn them with other brands.
If you are a gloss addict
You need these in your stash. Start with what you think would be your fave, then add to it, if you love it.

OMG I love the lippies!
You have no idea how gorgeous these are. Extra special. I really, really wanted to do a review, but I had other things first. I think I was to wait until Beau Nelson’s technique hit me. I’d seen it before, just never thought to try it. Hello!
Phyrra, you would love these colors as they have so much pink in them. I love Mermaid alone. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try it rimmed with Pink Bling. I wouldn’t have bought Mermaid if I hadn’t seen it on the SA on my second visit. I was trying to be good!
I would have thought it was too neutral, from how it appeared in the tube. I was only going to buy one more. But then when I was going to buy 2, I thought might as well get the 4th! I felt better not buying them all at once, though, just in case I didn’t like them. Decisions, decisions!
Jeez; I love them as well; they’re all gorgeous! And that technique is very interesting, I’ll try it out for sure.
Your lips look great, very full and soft
