Fail products vol.1 – lip glosses

Let’s finish this week with some more lip products, sadly again with negative review. I promise I’ll bring some nice products to your attention next week.

SEXY MOTHER PUCKER LIP GLOSS BY SOAP AND GLORY 

Price: 9£ (I bought it in the UK last January).

Scent: it has chocolate & fruit scent, when I smell it I immediately feel like going for some cake!

Texture: this lip gloss is extremely sticky to the point that if you speak it becomes uncomfortable. It gives lot of shine and due to its plumping effect lips get bigger. The plumping action is strong, it stings like crazy. I had really hard time keeping it on my lips, they actually hurt and I wanted to get rid of the gloss right after the application.

Colours: 6 shades if I remember correctly. I bought the colour Punch Bowl which is pink shade with berry hint to it.

Longevity: only few minutes since I couldn’t test it due to the irritation effect. The plumping hurt so much that I had to take it off quite soon after the application.

Final verdict: it is sticky and it hurts so I cannot stand it on my lips. I will give it to somebody else although I would be surprised if they wanted to wear it.

PRETTY SMART LIP GLOSS BY THE BALM

I bought this lip gloss last November when The Balm was on sale and I wrote lightly about it in the post about that sale. At that point the lip gloss was new and it took some time to test it. Better late than never, here is the review.

Price: 13,50€ (quite expensive for lip gloss sold in drugstore, I bought it in Belgium).

Scent: it has fresh fruity scent.

Texture: it has creamy texture, little bit sticky but nothing extreme like the Sexy pucker I just wrote about. It is pleasant on the lips, very pigmented and shiny.

Colours: up to 11 shades, depends where you buy it. In Belgium drugstore they have only few shades. Mine is in Hubba Hubba, bright fuchsia – red colour.

Longevity: It bleeds like crazy, on its own or over a lipstick, it doesn’t matter, it bleeds. I couldn’t properly test it since it didn’t look good soon after its application (and I couldn’t go out like that).

Final verdict: the fact that it bleeds around lips makes it difficult to wear. It is bright colour so it’s hard to hide that it crosses the lip line. I’m not going to purchase more of them, that’s clear.
