Girl2Go: for girls on the go Print E-mail

What’s pink, sassy and screams ‘attitude’ (in a good way) packaged in a little metallic box? Before you head on further, let your dirty thoughts perish away now and focus on this nifty little box that reads: lip-gloss.

Steering away from the usual makeup packaging, the latest Girl2Go collection from Glamourpuss is somewhat reminiscent of Anna Sui’s makeup collection with their pink and fancy prints on the bottles. Having its own distinct personality that’s making it so popular with girls now, Girl2Go has also been downsized to fit handbags, cosmetic purses and office drawers.

The line “it takes one to know another” couldn’t be more apt here as Daniela and her group of friends seem to know exactly what girls want (and haven’t got, so far). Based on past experience, portability has always been a bit of an issue when it comes to makeup. It’s tough trying to look all glamourous without having bits of makeup here and there to ‘touch up’ when the time calls for it because there is just no space for them in my little handbag (oh the horror!).

Touching up your makeup can also be rather embarrassing especially on public transport when you’re caught in the ‘spotlight’. With Girl2Go’s perky packaging, fellow commuters’ attentions will probably be diverted to the pretty packaging instead of you being (ahem!) vain.

In any case, we tried out some samples just to, you know, have a feel. And as if the packaging wasn’t unique enough, the names that come along with it adds on to the style factor too!

Without further adieu, I bring you:

Bright eyed girl
What’s that: Eye gel patches
Used to: Revive tired eyes
Instructions: Peel the patches from the backing card and place below your eyes. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes and dispose after use.
What you will get out of this: An instant soothing effect
Cost: $6
I say: The cooling sensation under my eyes was pure bliss. Just what I needed after a long day out. Coming in a small, flat package (which nearly made me miss it when it came in the mail), the gel patches can be used almost everywhere! One disadvantage though: it’s one thing to apply lip-gloss or eye shadow when you’re on the train or the bus, but it’s quite another to slap on eye patches for that 10 to 15 minutes or so for the rest of the journey. Even in the office where you’re bound to get less noticed, it is still inappropriate to be seen with two white spots underneath your eyes. Guess the eye patches aren’t that portable huh?

 lipbalm

Pout & about
What’s that: Lip balm
Used for: Dry or cracked lips
Instructions: Slide the lid of the box open and use either your ring finger/brush/cotton bud for application.
What will you get out of this: Moist (if not moister) lips (duh!)
Cost: $5
I say: The metallic box reminds one of those sweet boxes where people pay about $3 instead of the usual paper-wrapped ones at a fraction of the price but I digress. Being the shallow person that I am, the box appealed to me almost immediately when it fell onto my outstretched palm. :D Also, the ingredients (in the lip balm) include beeswax and paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil) which probably helps in retaining the moist feel on the lips. Perfect for minor touch-ups on a girl’s night out!


Girl2Go is available at John Little stores, Dulcetfig (41 Haji Lane), Divas@Work (65 Circular Rd) and online at www.glamourpuss.com.sg.
