Do I recommend these? No.
I’m just going to cut to the chase. These are awful. These are a sticky, globby mess. The formula is thick and they feel thick on the lips. You’re lips stick together as you talk. They don’t feel nice at all. I almost feel like my lips are suffocating. This is exactly the reason I hate lip gloss. I’ve heard that there are great lip glosses out there, but I’ve never found them.
Applying these can be a bit of a chore too. The applicator is sort of brush like, it’s long and thin. You’d think the brush-like applicator would make these easier to apply. When I put these on, I feel like a kid who smeared my mother’s lip gloss all over my face. A thing to remember with these is a little goes a long way and be sure to clean a little off the applicator.
I really wanted to try these because they remind me of the lip transformer type lip glosses. The lip transformers seem so cool, and yet they look so much better in the tubes than they do on the lips. I have two of these lip glosses.

On the website, the promo picture looks like a light, pale lilac kind of color. In real life, this is a pink color with blue glitter (and possibly a bit of silver too). The glitter is a lot more apparent in this shade than the other I have.
Look it’s Lava!
The promo picture is beautiful, it’s dark purple or even a maroon. In real life, this shade isn’t as great as the other. It looks very one-dimensional. It’s a maroon or dark pink, I can’t decide. The glitter is pink and there’s also some that’s either dark blue or purple.

I decided to try and do an ombre look with these glosses. That was possibly not the best idea I’ve ever had. The result was a bit of a mess. I put the darker color around the edges and the lighter color in the center and tried blending them together with my finger.
