Caboodles is a canadian brand that has just recently become availible in the u.k in selected superdrug shops. The packaging is really funky, it is what attracted me to the makeup stand its self in the first place.
The mascaras look rather like test tubes, as do the lip glosses, and they are hung up in test tube rack style holders.
Some of the lipgloss' look a bit like nailvarnishes. The produnct is in a little ball shape bottle at the bottom and the aplicator is like a long sitck. The one that i have got is bubble gum flavoured. It is all swirly with a pink and silver colour. The only trouble is that the product doesnt come out on the applicator! I was "caboodled" by the packaging and didnt really realize that the actual product might not be that good!
Saying that, i have got a different lipgloss from the same range that is in a tube that is really good, straberry flavour that you just squeeze out. That is really nice, even if it is a bit sticky. It tastes gorgeous too! Mine is strawberrry flavour.
Yet another lipgloss i have got from the range is cherry falvoured which is pink tinted. It too is in great packaging. It is like the ruby and millielipglosses, if you know waht they are like. You twist the base and the product comes out the top in a little brush that is included in the packaging. The trouble is it tastes too nice so doesnt last because i lick it all off!
The best product i have got from this range, is an eyeshadow. Its packaging is really chunky, it looks nice in your makeup bag. But more importantly the eyeshadow itself is really nice, it stays on well and is not too powdery. I have got the shade called "smooth" that is a kind of brown colour with little shimmery bits in it. it looks good if u use a finger to smudge it in.
The range is reasonably priced. Each product is around £3-£4.
A word of warning though, take advantage of the testers so that you do not get taken in by the funky packaging like i did and forget that it is the actual product you are after!
nice op. sounds like an alright product might try it. jess

This is a short op but I think there's enough here to warrant a VH- the major bases are covered and besides, it's about one of my favourite things: lipgloss! Raindrops on roses...

Good op, I bit more info about other products in the range and prices would be useful. I've seen this range and it does look very tempting and funky as you say, but I have to come away without anything or I would end up sepnding too much! Cheers, BB :o)
