Company’s Description
Fresh tubes of delicious, glistening glosses that add shine and flower power to any pout. In an array of colors that match our favorite, just-picked blossoms, these glosses glide on easily with tube-tip applicator.
Face Stockholm has released 8 shades of its Nektar lip gloss for the Summer 2012 season. This review is for the shade Prästkrage–a candy pink with shimmer. The Swedish word Prästkrage means “daisy.”
Packaging: 9/10
This lip gloss comes in a clear, plastic squeeze tube and has a slanted applicator.
Quality: 8.25/10
Although the gloss looks like a bright, bubbly pink color in the tube, it is transparent and applies clear on the skin. The shimmers are rainbow-colored and quite girly. Unfortunately, the shimmers are made of actual glitter particles that create a gritty texture on the lips.
This gloss is not sticky and consists of a thin formula. It lasts about an hour on the lips before fading. The gloss also has a sweet smell to it. I can see it bothering those with sensitive noses or who don’t like sweet scents. Fortunately, I forgot about the smell after application, so the scent isn’t too strong.
Ease of Use: 10/10
Because the base color is clear, you don’t have to be careful when applying the gloss. The formula glides on effortlessly.
Price: 8/10
For $20.00 you get 0.45 ounces (13 ml). Lancome’s Juicy Tubes cost $18.00 and contain 0.5 ounces. Clinique’s Superbalm Moisturizing Glosses cost $15.00 and also contain 0.5 ounces. So you are paying more for the Nektar glosses and getting slightly less product.
