I changed my blog address to essycreations.blogspot.com for some upcoming projects I will be doing, so stay tuned! Anyways, I was going through my makeup drawer and throwing out all the old lipgloss that are old and won't probably use anymore and I realized.. I rarely ever wear lipgloss yet I have SO MUCH!! I guess I'm a sucker for cute packaging and color, but DAMN! So I decided to write a review on each one so everyone else will have an idea of what each one is like without having to buy them all like I did. Here we go!
This lipgloss is sticky. I hate sticky. I tried it once and never touched it again, hence it sat in my makeup drawer for a very long time before I discovered it again. The one I got was actually a trial size in Orgasm, which was a sheer peachy pink color. The packaging is nice though, but I honestly dont think I would spend $24 on this lipgloss, there are better ones out there.
NARS Velvet Lipgloss Pencil $24
I actually really like this lipgloss pencil.. as weird as that sounds. It goes on creamy like a lipstick, but it has the shine of a lipgloss.. It's not sticky at all and its really pigmented. I have this in Frivolous, which is a light pink. I really think this is a good alternative to the NARS lip gloss that fails so bad. I actually use this when I actually feel like wearing something other than just chapstick.
This is another sticky one. However this one is so sticky AND it feathers out after I put it on. I was so frustrated with it. I got mine in Sparkling and it was a gold shimmery nude color which was really pretty, but I hate how it was so sticky and gross. I'm glad I got it in a deluxe sample size so I didn't actually have to spend money on it because I would NOT pay $24 for it!
I got the one that came in the Naked 2 Palette and this one is really slippery. It's not really sticky per say, but more slippery. The slippery-ness would feather out of my lips and be all gross and oily on my skin. I couldnt even finish that tiny one that came with the Naked 2 palette :(. Pigment wise, its very pigmented, but other than that, I have nothing else to say about this one.
Bobbi Brown makes some pretty awesone lip glosses. Their colors come out amazing on my lips. My only gripe about this one is that it doesn't last very long. I find that I have to keep reapplying every half hour or so because it dries out on my lips and then sorta disappears. I have this one in Petal which is a soft pink.
I'm not a big fan of Stila's lipglosses mainly because they arn't very pigmented and they don't last at all. I guess you really do get what you pay for in this case. They smell very good though and I really like the brush applicator.
They're not kidding when they say "Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss". It's VERY shiny and VERY sticky and VERY slippery. I was not a fan at all. It did make my lips super shiny though, but it's not ideal for everyday use. I only use it when I'm out around town with the girls or when we go clubbing. It dries out after a while and it's not as pigmented as I would like it.
I'm a huge fan of bare escentuals products and this was no exception. This gloss does not come out sticky and it gives that tingly feeling on my lips that I like. My lips also looks more plump and it doesn't dry out quickly. It also doesn't feather out, which is a bonus. I have this in Fruit Cocktail which I believe was a limited edition color. It's a very pretty pink that is ideal for daily use. My lips also feel so soft after I take it off, compared to the other lip glosses that dry out my lips.
This is one of my all time favorite lip glosses. It's not sticky and it leaves a tingly sensation on my lips that I love! It also leaves my lips plump and is shiny. The darker colors are actually pretty pigmented, but I usually layer this one on with lipstick to give my lips more color. I usually buy this in mini sizes when they have the combo packs, only because I can never really finish a tube (not even the minis!) and I get more colors to try out! Love!
They should seriously rename this to Pretty FUCKING Amazing Lip Color! Because thats what it is! Fucking AMAZING! Its VERY pigmented and it goes on smooth without being sticky. The applicator is nice too. The colors last a very long time without drying out my lips or fading. This is my all time favorite lip gloss/color because I can skip the lipstick underneath and just wear this. LOVE!
