sooo many lipglosses!

i recently got the chance to buy some items in a fabulous blog sale, and amongst a palette from Dior that i have been on the hunt for since 2009, i snatched this huge lot of lipglosses for a really mini price (i think i paid the price of one full size lip gloss). and since i'm not really a lip product person and rather hesitate to buy high end glosses at their full retail price, i thought it would be a nice opportunity to test out some shades and brands. i have no problems with used glosses (although there were some unused in that lot) - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, huh? besides, i trust my fellow blogging beauty-lovers ;) sometimes we buy and try, but we don't love so we sell.
(if i wouldn't feel completely comfortable, i would just put the product on the back of my hand and then apply with a brush or my fingertips.)

so enough said, i'm very glad with my purchase and now i'll show you some swatches and lip swatches (be prepared for photo-overload ;))

first, my bare lips for you to compare:

Giorgio Armani Lip Shimmer #25 Pale Rose (mini)

Chanel Glossimer #96 Iris

Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster Lip Gloss in Sexy Nude

Giorgio Armani Lip Shimmer #51

Chanel Glossimer #90 Summer Plum

Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Cinnamon

Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Baby Doll

Chanel Glossimer #11 Twinkle

it was a very special surprise for me to find this shade in the lot because i already own it since the Chanel Glossimer in Twinkle was my first high end lipgloss ever - i bought mine over 8 years ago, it leaked and has gone bad in the mean time but i still keep it for old time's sake. now i'm happy to be able to wear the colour again. here is a photographic proof of my oldest gloss-pensioner ;)

and that's the new one:

Giorgio Armani Lip Shimmer #28 (mini)

Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Opal (mini)

Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Petal (mini)

Chanel Glossimer #83 Magnifique (mini)

haha now i have a problem with my lipglosse storage ;) what about you? would you say "no" to such a great deal?
