Do you let your lips shine?

It's Time To Shine with Beauty Review this week and we're going to be looking for trial teams to trial products that will do just that - make you shine.

So let's start with the lips.  There's a very current trend for matte and velveteen finishes.  Not only can these pack a colourful punch without over doing it with shine, they also tend to last longer than satin or sheen lipsticks.

We think it's time to bring some shine back to our pouts;  lip gloss is incredibly versatile - it can be used solo or on top of your favourite lipstick, lip stain, lip tint, lip liner or even concealer.  Yes concealer.

But rather than opt for a clear gloss, why not try a nude gloss and really have some fun?  Nude gloss over berry lipstick shades will add a depth and sheen that that screams "kiss me".  Feeling more daring?  Add nude lip gloss over a baby pink and create an iridescent sheen that mermaid would be jealous of.

Nude gloss over a nude lipstick, lip pencil or even concealer will give you a pearlescent nude lip to rival Angelina Jolie's.

We're going to be given 5 members the chance to try what existing reviews report to be a fantastic nude gloss - Avon Glazewear Shine in Nude.  If you make this trial team we'd love to hear how you used the gloss.  Will you team it with lipstick or let it shine by itself?  We can't wait to read what tips you come up with :)

So why not tell us your thoughts on shiny lips - do you love your pout to shimmer and shine or will you a matte girl with no intention of changing?

I'm so into the shiny look this Autumn! Lipgloss just looks amazing with a flawless face and it's so much easier to remove and reapply that a standard lipstick! I'd wear it solo - embracing the nude!

I love lip gloss, the wet look and shine brightens the face.

I used to wear nude gloss when I was young, now I just use lipstick. But I still think nude gloss make you look sexier. Maybe I should go back to use it again hehehe

I love to let my lips shine. I love gloss and the effect

Depends on the occasion and the fabric of the outfit. I love a matte look, but it's just not as moisturising so my go-to look is usually quite glossy with matte looks reserved for dress-up-y occasions!

I've always loved a good gloss, sometimes there's nothing quite like a glossy lip to brighten up your day!

26th March, 2014

I like the bright pigmented gloss look such as Shiseido Laquer Rouge. I often try a lippy or lipliner and add gloss over the top for a moist, but defined look.

26th March, 2014

I tend to use a bit of both - matte for lipsticks generally but I usually have a lip gloss in my bag somewhere for during the day.

25th March, 2014

Right now in my handbag I have a tube of MOR gloss. I use this on its own, or a dab over my lippy to highlight my cupid's bow. As the days grow shorter and colder though I will use it less and less - a glossy, shiny pout seems somehow more the thing in the summer. Maybe somewhere out there is a nice crystalline, frosty, gloss that adds the right shimmer for winter?

When it comes to bright colors I prefer mattes or opaques and Pearl finishes over wet look lipsticks. But In nudes and light pinks I think shine is gorgeous.

24th March, 2014

Just love the glossy look - found a long lost lip gloss on the weekend - just loved the feel and look

24th March, 2014

I love the wet look but not the stickiness; interested to see what the BR ladies think of it

24th March, 2014

I love my gloss's , the matte on me just seems to bleed and never look as good.

24th March, 2014

I generally prefer matte and am not a huge fan of wearing lip gloss because of the feeling or the glossy look that it gives your lips.

24th March, 2014

I love a good none sticky gloss. I don't have a nude lippy or gloss yet so would love to be picked for this trial. I would probably try it with lipstick and by itself just to see which looks better and which lasts better.
