I favor lip balm over lip gloss as I find it more user friendly, don't get me wrong I do have days where I will wear a sheen of lip gloss but its not something I wear on a daily basis.
A lovely Beauty review addict sent me this along with some other goodies a few months back and it wasn't until recently I started wearing this lip gloss. I was sent shade Decadent which is a medium purple color with a tinge of dark pink and shimmer all wrapped up in a clear and black tube.
The applicator has a flat foot which makes it easy to apply with detail and get a clean edge, the formula glides over your lips very easy, slight stickiness but isn't too sticky. You don't find your lips sticking together when your talking or eating. There is a small amount of residue left when you drink from cans or bottles but the majority of the gloss stays to your lips.
I was surprised when I first started using the lip gloss with how much lighter then color was on my lips compared to how it looks in the tube. Its a faint purple tone that is barely noticed unless you look closely, it is wearable with anything since it isnt very dark or bright.
The wear time is about 2 hours before I need to reapply which is a huge difference to other lip glosses I use, I was completely surprised as I thought it was just a regular colored lip gloss, I am so happy and satisfied with this product. Well done Revlon.
I purchased this in the shade 060 Adorned Enjolivee after swatching it in store numerous times and being amazed at its bright pink goodness! It is a bold bright bright fuchsia pink, which has a cool toned shimmer through it and a super glossy shine. This shade is not for the faint hearted it is one bright bold lip colour!
The packaging is lovely and sleek and I love the quilted design on the lid. The gloss itself has amazing pigmentation and staying power. One swipe of this product is enough, so I can imagine the tube would last a long time (unless you lose it like I did :( ) Once the glossy finish finally disappears (this lasts ages!) you are still left with beautifully stained bright pink lips. This gloss is really comfortable to wear and not at all drying on the lips, so ticks all the boxes for me. It is more sticky than most of the glosses I wear, but, this is the reason it is so long lasting and despite it being more on the sticky side I do not find it uncomfortable like some other super sticky, gluggy glosses.
I would definitely recommend these glosses and will probably repurchase. I'm not sure what the pigmentation of the other shades is like, but, if they are anything like this shade they are well worth the money.
Tips: Exfoliate the lips before hand for smooth application.
