Maybelline’s New Shine Seduction Gloss Lipcolour
It’s official. I’m an addict. A lip gloss addict and there’s no U-turn! (Erm, even if there’s any, please don’t highlight it to me. Don’t you know? Ignorance is bliss :)
My friend was out at a L’Oréal / Maybelline warehouse sales last Friday, and she asked if I’m interested to get anything. My first reaction was “really? Please do check out the glosses for me! Pleaseeeeee?”
So ladies and gentlemen, I present you, a new member to my makeup bag…
Maybelline’s new Shine Seduction Glossy Lipcolour!
which was a total steal at RM10.00 (RP RM29.90)!
The product comes in a shiny, steel-y packaging that gives only a glimpse of the colour peeps through it, which got me really excited wanting to test it out.
Using a twist-and-apply method, the tube is supposed to deliver just the right amount of gloss for each application. The only downside with this is that you’ll need to tilt the tube upside down in order for the gloss to be released as you twist, and that, at times may cause an over-gush of gloss, leaving you with no choice but to spread it out on your lips or run the risk of wastage.
According to Maybelline’s official website, the glossy goodness is enriched with
Vitamin E and aqua-botanical extracts which keeps the lips smooth and kissably soft without giving the sticky feeling.
My verdict? No doubt the gloss is not as sticky as other glosses which I’ve tried on, but it doesn’t last (I guess that’s a standard downside with lip glosses as compared to matte lipsticks), and that also means you don’t get that super-water-shine effect; and applying on dry or chapped lips means to be prepared with obvious skin-peels on your lips half an hour after application or till the moisturiser of the gloss runs dry (euw!).
So my suggestion is to slap on a layer of lip balm to moisture your lips (daily, of possible) before applying the gloss. Any gloss, for that matter.
