The Glossy Lip

Everyone has a period of time where you just fall out of love with something. For me this was lipgloss. As a kid I absolutely loved it. I believe lipgloss was the first make-up item I ever bought. I had them in every colour, but when I was 14, I got more into lipsticks. A long-lasting love that is still going strong.

Lately I started to change my mind. Maybe glossy lips are not that bad at all. Besides the part that my hair gets stuck in the sticky substance that is on my lips, I quite like it again. These two beauties have helped me with getting my love for shiny gloss back.

These two glosses from Max Factor are very simple, but look super pretty. ‘25 Enchanting Coral’ and ‘45 Luxurious Berry’ are two, gorgeous colours. They both have that typical vanilla lipgloss scent, but I do not mind that at all. Once it is on the lips I do not notice the scent. They are not long-lasting, so you need to reapply many times during the day. I have to do this with many lip products, so I just pop the gloss in my bag and I am good to go.

‘Luxurious Berry’ gives a very sheer tint to the lips. It is nice for those ‘off days’ when you do not want to wear a lot of make-up. ‘Enchanting Coral’ on the other hand gives more coverage for a full, coral lip. I do find it more of a S/S colour, but luckily that season is almost upon us.

I am definitely picking up more beautiful lipglosses. Especially in the warmer months I find glossy lips a must! Hopefully the cold will go away soon and I can pull out all my bright and colourful lipsticks again! :)
