The Senses: Taste Mini Post

We'll get back to pricing soon but I was at Sephora today getting my free birthday gift by Make Up For Ever; mascara and lipstick. All you have to do to get it is sign up for a Beauty Insider card, no purchase necessary. I tried a BUXOM lip plumping gloss while I was there and it made my tongue numb. Then I got home and tried the lipstick that came in my little gift set, artist rouge natural line in Copper Pink (N9), a really gorgeous color. The taste was intensely awful. I still taste it an hour after rubbing it all off. I don't know if it was a mix of the 2 products of just the MUFE lipstick but this got me thinking about lip product tastes. These are supposed to be high-end items. What is going on? They know we're putting them on our mouths what is up with making them taste horrible? I told my boyfriend about this Mario Badescu serum sample I got and he said "They should make their samples extra good... so you want to buy them then make the real thing not as good to save." I got to thinking about this, samples should be extra good. The point is to get us to try and then buy. If MUFE is skimping on their lipstick samples or that's what the real thing taste like they've got a problem either way.

Make Up For Ever birthday gift set. Pretty but the lipstick seemingly taste disgusting.

So we'll be delving into taste. What lip product can you just not stand the taste of? I loved the color and I'll only try it once more to see if it was the mix of the two that tasted so bad if it's not the mix I'll never ever buy a MUFE lip product. YUCK! I still taste it. Truly disgusting.
