What's On My Lips - Icing Frosty Pink Lip Gloss - Review

Second post in the seires - what's on my lips - is a post on a lip gloss that I have a love/hate relationship with. The lip gloss is from Claire's ICING. I have earlier reviewed an Icing lipgloss here.The current one I'm reviewing is frosty pink shade.

ProductThe Icing lip gloss Frosty Pink is a thick textured lipgloss. It comes in a small rectangular cubiod packaging. The packing also has a mirror strip on one side which makes application easier if you are travelling.The applicator is a good quality sponge tip applicator which gives smooth even application.

My ExperienceI mentioned that I have a love hate relationship with this gloss. The love comes from the facet that I really like the packaging which is travel friendly - the applicator gives smooth results and the mirror strip comes in very handy. The problem lies with the color itself. The color is a frosty pink shade which is very suitable for light skinned girls. Unfortunately I have a wheatish skin tone and if I apply a thick layer of this it looks as if I've got some lip disease - lips become too disco shiny pink!

But I still love it because a thin layer makes my lips look pretty pink.Pigmentation is decent enough even with one coat. It hides the uneven tone of the lips and makes them look healthy. If you are fair skinned this would look really good on you even if you apply a thick coat.The texture of the gloss is thicker than some of the other glosses I have reviewed earlier but its very moisturising.The staying power of the gloss is about 2 hours if you don't eat or drink. Drinking a glass of water or a cup of tea is surely going to get this gloss stain on your cup. But I won't say that is a drawback as most glosses I have tried do not stand upto the drink or food test.Swatches

What's On My Lips - Maybelline Watershine Lipstick Ice Tea - Review

This week I am doing a series of posts on lip products, lipsticks and lip glosses that I haven't shared yet.

The first one in the series is a lipstick from Maybelline which I bought a couple of years ago, wore it almost every day to work and still love it. The shade is from the Maybelline Watershine range and is called Ice Tea.
Its a nude lip color, MLBB (my lips but better) shade and works perfectly for the day time.

The watershine range of lipsticks are super smooth in texture. The one I have is an older packaging which is a pink colored plastic. There is a sticker on the bottom which mentions the shade name and number.
