Vivienne Sabo Lip Gloss
They say that the famous Catherine de Medici invented lip gloss during her favorite chemical experiments. Well, if this is true - women of fashion will know who to thank for one of the most necessary products of decorative cosmetics. Today shine is not less popular than lipstick. The choice of such products in the cosmetics market is also diverse. Many ladies prefer lip gloss from Vivienne Sabo.
A bit of history
The brand was founded by the leading Russian distribution company Gradient, inspired by the romantic story of the Frenchwoman Vivien Szabo.
Vivienne Sabo lived in Paris in the 30s of the last century, studied chemistry at the Sorbonne (where she met her young man, Louis) and kept a diary. Vivienne and Louis together invented and created various cosmetic products (it was Vivienne Szabo who created the violet compact eye shadow), and after graduating from the university they planned to open their own beauty laboratory. The Second World War put an end to their dreams - Louis did not return from the war, and Vivienne abandoned both the diary and the experiments. Nothing is known about her future, but Vivienne Sabo brand products are created according to the recipes from her diary.
Features
The manufacturer is humane, all products are environmentally friendly. Vivienne Sabo do not conduct experiments on animals, experts use the most natural ingredients. Distinctive features are also the design of polka-dot products (in Parisian style) and the aroma of fresh violets.
Kinds
Varnish, matte, with sparkles, lip gloss with a 3D-effect - you will find options for every taste. There are several lines to consider (for better familiarization with different products):
- "Couleurs Fraiches" - very effective varnish gloss, but it is impossible to call it defiant - thanks to gentle creamy shades. Special components (they are not disclosed by the manufacturer, but their efficiency is confirmed by customers) smooth fine wrinkles and irregularities on the lips, giving them a brilliant seductiveness. Such brilliance is ideal for creating a natural image - 13 completely different shades will allow you to emphasize individuality, without going beyond the scope. The thick consistency of the gloss does not allow it to spread on the lips. Of the disadvantages noted only stickiness tools.
- "Brilliance Hypnotique" - the magical shine of your lips attracts attention like a magnet. Glitter with a 3D effect will give your lips puffiness and sharpness. Due to its moisturizing properties, such cosmetics perfectly masks minor imperfections of the skin surface. Of the advantages marked by excellent quality - both of the funds, and packaging with a convenient brush. Of the disadvantages - stickiness gloss. Price - about 150 rubles.
- "Champs Elysees" - Lip gloss with the effect of volume. Without sparkles, with a light beautiful shimmer. The gloss is fairly pigmented - the second layer will easily block the color of the lips, so you can use such a tool instead of lipstick. Of the advantages we should mention the non-stickiness of gloss and its caring properties (the composition allows to resist age-related changes). Disadvantages - when the weather is hot, the brush is not very resistant, inconvenient.
- "Matte Magnifique" - Matte liquid lipstick, which for some reason is called glitter. However, it is still semi-gloss (judging by the finish line - it’s not so much matte, but more velvet). Lips such a tool does not dry, but does not moisturize. A serious disadvantage is very poor stamina. Price - about 150 rubles.
- "Levres De Diamant" - The diamond shine will provide you the same attention from the opposite sex (and not only), like the diamonds themselves. Glitter contains just a huge amount of multi-colored sparkles, but it can not be called vulgar. It can even be used for office makeup - though in this case one layer will be quite enough.For evening make-up it can be used on top of lipstick (it will give it a special showiness). It has no caring properties, although the lips are not very dry. Of the advantages, it is possible to note the non-stickiness, and of the disadvantages - the poor quality of the bottle (it leaks, you will have to wipe it with a napkin to save the cosmetic bag). Price - about 80-100 rubles.
