Abstract:
1. A method of imparting gloss to the lips comprising applying thereto a cosmetic composition for imparting gloss to the lips comprising: (a) from about 0.1 to about 2.5% by weight of an ester terminated poly(ester-amide) polymer having an average molecular weight between about 3,000 and about 7,500 Daltons and being capable of forming a gel with low-polarity and nonpolar oils at or below a sol-gel transition temperature T (b) from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of a first wax component comprising one or more waxes having a melting point above T (c) from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of a second wax component comprising one or more waxes having a melting point at or below T (d) from about 0.1 to about 25% by weight of a silicone T-resin and a refractive index of at least 1.43 measured as a film at 25° C.; said silicone T-resin comprising at least one alkyl phenyl polysilsesquioxane resin; (e) one or more low-polarity or nonpolar ester oils which form a gel with said ester terminated poly(ester-amide) polymer at or below said sol-gel transition temperature T wherein said composition has a gloss of at least about 70 when measured at 85 degrees; and wherein said composition is self-supporting at room temperature and has a hardness greater than 40 g.
