Packaging: 9/10

This lipgloss comes in a clear, square, plastic tube and has a narrow, doe-foot applicator.

Quality: 8.25/10

This color is a vibrant, medium orange with silver and gold shimmers. The color isn’t as vibrant on the first layer and leaves a translucent finish. You can layer the gloss for a deeper orange and more opaque finish.

The formula is emollient and smooth with a slight cream texture. It doesn’t feel sticky.

Unfortunately, this gloss has a very strong, fake, sweet smell. The scent persists even after you apply the gloss and will easily give someone sensitive to scents a headache.

Ease of Use: 8.5/10

This lipgloss needs a to be blended because it will apply unevenly. If you rub your lips together, it will leave a distinct line on the lips, so be mindful of this. You also need to take extra time to remove the gloss because the glitters really adhere to the skin.

Price: 9/10

This lipgloss is not sold individually. You can purchase it as part of the Collector’s Edition Set ($68.00) or the Lipgloss Set ($20.00). Either way, you get 0.7 ounces of product for a good price.
