jessica simpson's dessert....worth the bucks?
 

Yay insomnia!!

Anyway, I was at my boyfriend's friend's house (who is a girl) and she had some of Jessica Simpson's Dessert laying out (the whipping cream). All of my guy friends (even my gay guy friends!) seem to touch everything and ask questions about everything and so he picked it up and naturally asked what it was. She explained what it was and he totally just put it in his mouth like the little kids guys are at heart. haha. Anyway, he said he thought it was really, really good (it was Juicy flavor, which I think is strawberry?). I never particularly liked the taste of it (i felt like it tasted too artificial), but i have no objection to...well yeah. ha.

I was wondering, what do you guys think of it? Is it sticky if you wear it? If it is, should I just buy the lip gloss and wear it when I'm with him? If I don't buy it soon, since we're in a long distance relationship during the school year (I leave to go back to school in a little less than two weeks), I thought it might be a cute surprise for Valentine's when we get to see each other.

Anyway yeah...what do you girls think of it? It seems awfully overpriced, so I'm not going invest in the whipping cream AND lip gloss. Also, is it sold anywhere cheaper? I've seen it at Icing and I'm a cheap make up girl (expensive purses and clothes...cheap shoes and make-up! ;)...like the lip gloss I wear is between $1 to $2.50. So naturally I find $21 for lip gloss extremely steep. If not, I guess I'll shell out the money, but ugh. Jessica! ;)

It's too expensive. And guys are not impressed by that crap.

It seems really high school.

Just go to your friendly neighborhood porn shop and get some of the whipcream w/the aphrodiac stuff in it (yeah, I know, I butchered the spelling.. :) ). It's only around $12 and you'll get more out of it, hehe ;)

Is the Tutti Dolci line at B&BW similar to this? 'Cause I got one of their lipglosses for free and it rocks! :)

The sad thing about her idea is that there are a bunch of different alternatives to "Flavored" lip glosses and lotions and whatnot. I've bought lip gloss from Bath and Body, and the lotions are nice, but I just think smelling like a bakery wouldn't be much of a turn on.

Of course, Bonne Bell has been making flavored lip balms for YEARS and they still work wonders at $2.50 a pop.

Ah yes, Lipsmackers! The first and the best :)

I got mine free too. I liked allt he flaors except the chocolate fondue. I ended up buying the angel food cake flavor. :)

See I liked the Chocolate Fondue... just not everything else. :)

I ended up with a couple coupons for free products with the purchase of another. I've bought four total, but 3 went to Christmas gifts.

I like the Tutti Dolci line for lip gloss, but one of the reporters at work uses it and she smells like a baking cake... it makes everyone hungry and it's kind of an odd smell for a person.

Personally I'd never use a product made by one of the Simpsons.... look at the music they turn out :rolleyes: I can't imagine their products being any better or worth the money since their CDs clearly aren't

I have the angelfood cake one..but I agree with chideltjen about smell like bakery item being a turn-off.. I got it for Christmas from my parents.. my mom was really proud of it. :p

I do like how its shimmery though.. it looks cute when used in (light) moderation.

I am sure that anything that makes you . . uhm . . . more edible . . . is a only a positive.

um, not to sound rude, but didn't i say he really liked the taste of it? i wasn't a fan of it before he started talking about it. Sorry. :rolleyes:

ick. it's too atrificial and waaayyyy over priced. i heard the lip glosses suck.

what i don't get is that it's supposed to be for adults. but if you go into sephora or somewhere, there's a bunch of tweens wanting it and trying it.

i think it tastes really artificial too, which is why i'm kind of steering away from the lip gloss. $21 for make up that doesn't have the name "Dior" or "Chanel" on it is not kosher.

but my boyfriend is like in love with it. He went over to her house the other day and he said he was putting it on and eating it again and she was getting really pissed. He'll eat anything I guess...so maybe I should try something cheaper...but if he really likes this?

I think the tweens want it because it has "Jessica Simpson" on it. Teens this days love anyone who's blonde, pretty and dumb as a box of rocks! I hope no one's licking it off of them!

if he really likes it then you should buy it or make him buy it.

true. just wondering more or less if its been worth it for anyone else. Not really comments from the peanut gallery about how its soooo high school or guys hate it.

If you want to shell out $$$ just because it says Jessica Simpson on it, then you have issues.

Wasn't this the same line that made her go barf-o-rama when she did the photoshoot on Newlyweds?

I'll stick to the el cheapo Bonnebell.

why anyone would pay good money
 

to line the pockets of that idiot jessica simpson is beyond me!!her 15 minutes should've been over a loooooooong time ago!

yeah, i agree with both of you and like i said before, i didn't even entertain the thought of buying it until he said he really, really liked it. :rolleyes:

Then you should get him to wear it in public. Heh.

I'm a fan of this idea.

Or wear Bonne Bell but tell him it's Jessica Simpson . . . the placebo effect will kick in and you'll get all the benefits for 1/10th the price.

Okay, I've never seen any of the Dessert line up close, but I'm a little confused.

I know that my Tutti Dolci lip gloss says not to eat it. Umm, is it safe for your boyfriend to be just eating this stuff? I'm confused. Is he squeezing lotion directly into his mouth, or is he putting it on this other girl and eating it off of her? :confused: Either way, is this stuff edible or just flavored?

Dessert's whole concept is that you can taste it and it's safe.

yeah....he's eating it off of himself.

i have two of the lipglosses (juicy & luscious) and i think they're definitely worth it, personally i'm not-so-much a fan of the whipped cream and actually most of the rest of the whole dessert line but the lip glosses are for sure worth it

See my mom used to get all pissed at my brother for eating lip gloss as a kid.

I just think that consuming fresh beeswax is a sign of desperation. Give 'em a sandwich or something. Or... here's a concept... how about Jello chocolate pudding?

I am a huge fan of that Tutti Dolce lip gloss! I have it in Angel Food Cake. There was a coupon in Cosmo to get it free, otherwise I probably never would have tried it. ;) It, too, is kind of pricey.

My thoughts exactly. I don't wanna smell like her...the dumbness might rub off.

I've gotten a lot of compliments on this Pez-flavored lip gloss I have. I think it came from Claire's or somewhere, and it was real cheap.

Does it come in a Pezlike dispenser? If so, I might have to actually buy this.

Maybe he just thinks your lips taste terrible and by eating his female friend's lip gloss, he is hinting to you to get something delicious to wear.

This is WAY too subtle for a guy.

Pussy Pucker Pots


They also have the ever so popular Chicken Poop Balm, knock yourselves out :)

A valid point.

The concept of the Dessert line is kinda cool, but why spend the money on it? A thing of Cool Whip and basket of strawberries is cheaper and much more fun. :p

Just thought I would share...

I was looking through People magazine and there is this two page ad for Jessica Simpson's dessert line. After looking the ad over, I noticed that it said "now available at Walgreens." I thought that was pretty interesting. This Sunday, there was an ad for Walgreens and they showed this particular line. It looks cheaper, but it still has her name with it. I don't recall the range, but I remember the ad saying that items started at $11.99. That is a pretty good deal since her lip glosses were the cheapest thing at $21 a pop.

11.99 for department store lipgloss is still ridiculous, especially if you're like many of us who use it constantly.

If you like things like these dessert lipglosses, try Bonne Bell lip gloss (not the lip smackers... it's not in the normal tube... it's the one where you have to squeeze to apply) in Cake Frosting. It seriously tastes like you just smeared icing all over your lips :) You can get it at walmart for a couple bucks

Bath & Body Works is having their Tutti Dolci lip glosses (which are like Dessert) on sale this week for $5.

LOL at Jessica already being in Walgreen's. 14 minutes and 59 seconds I say...tick, tick, tick...

GRRR I was just at the mall.

I have a couple of the lipglosses and they're not really worth it, but I think that the Whipped Body Cream (the one with the 'sprinkles') is worth it. I have it in creamy, and it smells amazing and tastes soooo good. When I first got it I found myself licking it off my own arm, and my ex just loved when I would wear it. It also makes your skin feel moisturized.
