Customer review
Enjoy this customer review from Amberli McCoy.
ask yourself...
what's your virtue?
i've seen these beauties floating around the blogging world for a while now and have been really wanting to try them out. it's no secret that i have a life long addiction to blistex (i'll save that story for another time) and therefore am constantly searching for something, anything, to relieve me of my addiction! well, i can't say i've given up the blistex entirely but i can say that i'm loving these glosses!
~
after reading about them on others' blogs i checked out the WHAT'S YOUR VIRTUE website and i gotta admit, i fell in love with their philosophy:
~
*taken from their site*
Our Story... In the beginning, there was a mother with teen and preteen daughters. While on a shopping trip three years ago, she was made keenly aware of what beauty products were available to purchase. She was shocked at the explicit and suggestive names found on numerous brands of lip gloss. She didn’t feel it was appropriate for her 13 year old daughter to put such messaging in her pocket, let alone on her lips. The mother went home with no lip gloss, but with a strong desire to make a difference. After collaborating with her friends, an idea was born to create a lip gloss that would support a positive message, not only for her girls but for women everywhere. Enter What’s Your Virtue?, a company founded by three friends who believe beauty starts from within. We want to remind all women of the simple and virtuous things in life. What better place to start than on your lips?
isn't that a lovely thought? choosing a virtue, carrying it around with you in your pocket all day, endowing your kisser with virtuous thoughts. i love it! and luckily a little elf heard i wanted to try these out and slipped some into my stocking. for weeks i've been carrying around the virtues of
~
curiosity, wisdom and simplicity.
i love them
they're not too sticky or waxy like chapstick or some glosses
(i love blistex because it's creamy smoothiness.
so very not sticky and waxy like most chapsticks/glosses)
i love the colors - i thought that maybe wisdom and curiosity would be too bright,
but they are perfect. just a tint of color.
and they all glitter a little
but not like "gem, truly outrageous!" glitter.
and the best part...
they stay on forever
i mean forever
obviously if i eat, or lick my lips
or some such anti-stay-on activity it comes off
but otherwise
my lips shine on
and on
and
on
love it!
~
i can't wait to try them all
~
so thank you! thank you! thank you! to the little What's Your Virtue elves that sent me some trial glosses - i love them all and will always be extra reminded to be curious, seek wisdom and live with simplicity as i enjoy my non-sticky, extra shiney, forever glossy lips!
Thanks Amberli for the great review!! Good luck with that new baby!
Mixing it up...
We hope that you had a great Christmas with your family and friends and are enjoying the New Year too!
Thank you for getting to know us and supporting our What's your Virtue® idea! Our first three months in business have been great! It has been overwhelming to hear so many positive thoughts from so many people from all walks of life. From grandma's to mothers and sisters to friends, women are starting to ask themselves what is their own personal lip Virtue?
If you haven't yet tried one for yourself, try Generosity™ or Curiosity™. They are great by themselves and are great together. Yes, I start with Generosity™ and then put a thin layer of Curiosity™ over the top. That is my new favorite color for the New Year!
You can also try color mixing with Wisdom™ and Generosity™, or Devotion™ and Generosity™ to name a few. So share your Virtues and try mixing them as well.

Virtue Girls
We had a great local show today. For all of you that came and tried Lip Bliss for the first time, thank you. It is always really rewarding to hear women's positive comments after they try Lip Bliss for the first time.
It was so fun visiting with and helping Joann, her daughter Meg and her two daughters try on all six colors of gloss. They each found their perfect Virtue. I had to get this cute picture of them. Thanks ladies for the fun!

November Give away
Leslie, from " a room somewhere" reviewed our Lip Bliss and gave a really nice review. If you would like to read it go here. But even better than reading her review, she is giving away a full set of Lip Bliss. Isn't she showing Kindness (wink wink)? So hurry and enter, you have until Friday to win. You might be lucky to win this cute little package!
I truly love your lip glosses. I have been a big fan of lip gloss for many years and have gotten very 'choosey' when picking one out. From the packaging to the way they feel, these are wonderful. The best part, I love sharing them with my teenage daughter. You girls rock - thanks for persevering.
Blissfest weekend
We had a great time at Blissfest 2009. Us Virtue girls had to dress up in western attire for the Friday night festivities. We had a great time meeting so many of you! We also got the opportunity to meet Stephanie & Christian Nielson. We thanked her for being a Virtue girl! If you forgot her favorite Virtue check here.
We had lots of women of all ages try on Lip Bliss! They were so surprised at how silky and smooth the gloss went on their lips. Most of them were afraid that it would be sticky or tacky like so many on the market. Here are some of the comments we heard throughout the day:
"That feels great!"
"I love the smell and that little tingly feeling is great."
"It feels like it is going to stay on for a long time."
"Wow, its not sticky!"
Here are some pictures of the weekend. Enjoy!
If you would like me to review it for you, I would be thrilled to!
