L'Oreal Glam Shine Miss Candy Lip Glosses

These lipglosses look good enough to eat!  In a nut shell, the name says it all. Its lipgloss that have been swirled together to look like yummy sweeties! This is the difference to the ordinary Glam Shines that L'Oreal make. Everything else is the same, in terms of packaging and the trademark heart shaped applicator (more on that later). I picked up the colours Pink Treat, Nude Bonbon and Tart Lollipop. I got three from Booth because they where too pretty to just leave behind! They come in 6 colours.

The gloss itself is very hydrating. It definetely gives your lips some definition, especially the darker shades. It is as if this gloss plumps them slightly. As for the glossyness (if that is even a word), the name says it all. The formula gives beautiful shine. I would describe it as more glassy than glossy. To me glossy means that it is sticky, and this lip gloss is NOT sticky. So thumbs up to the formula and now for the colours themselves.



The colours I chose - first of all Pink Treat. The colours in the tube are a light peach and a slightly darker peach, (with more of a pink undertone) that have been swirled together. There is also, what appears to be Gold specs of glitter loaded into the formula to create a dazzling shine. The next colour is Nude Bonbon, which in comparison to Pink Treat is not shimmery (no glitter). So if shimmer is not your taste then I suggest this colour. In the tube, the colours are a soft baby pink that is swirled with a white colour, with pink undertones again. Together these colours leave a pretty frosty finish on your lips rather than a full on shimmer. For some reason it reminds me of strawberry and vanilla icecream that has been swirled together. It is very femine and incredibly wearable day or night. And finally the most dramatic (I would say). Tart Lollipop combines a red/orange, with a pink/purple that has been swirled together. In this tube, it is the pink/purple that has glitter but the red/orange is matte. It may seem quite out there, however together when worn on the lips it creates a dark pink with a hint of shimmer (I would say). It is wearable and evens up your lip colour nicely.



So besides the swirled colours, what makes this lipgloss one of the best on the market? I would say the applicator. I would say it is mistake free. It is in the shape of a heart, which is remarkable because it fits the shape of your mouth perfectly. Another impressive feature is the hole in the middle of the sponge. Gloss collects in the sponge when you pull it out of the tube, and when you press the applicator sponge on a surface (i.e. your lips), the hole in the middle of the sponge allows the gloss to seep through. This therefore means that one sweep accross your lips is all you need. This in turn makes it faster and easier to apply. This brush is featured on all the Glam Shine Glossess.



There are more colours available, I just picked three of them. Like I said earlier, I purchased mine from Boots. These glossess retail in the UK for £7.69. It does seem a lot for a lip gloss but I do think they are worth the money. Check them out!
