Soap & Glory sexy MOTHER PUCKER™ Plumping Lipgloss

Today I am going to review some lipgloss. I received them in two separate Soap & Glory Christmas gift sets and thought I would review them because quite a few people like them and I love Soap & Glory.

I have two shades and they are Candy Gloss, which is a glittery nude/pink and Punch Bowl, which is a bright fuchsia pink.

The packaging is your standard hard plastic tube and lighter plastic lid and the fonts used really stand out. The plastic tube is also translucent so you can see the shade clearly and it has a doe foot applicator. Each full sized tube comes with 7ml of lipgloss.

“Fasten your seatbelts! It's Super-Colour™ Sexy Mother Pucker™ with SUPERFILL™ Lip Plumping Spheres and LIPSWELL™ Volume Boost Technology. Britain’s hottest selling lip plumping gloss, Soap & Glory’s bestselling Original Formula SEXY MOTHER PUCKER includes ingenious PLUMPING MICROSPHERES that explode in volume up to 10x when they come in contact with water (they’re like tiny, dehydrated little sponges that expand when they get wet) and an exclusive microcirculation-stimulating extract to visibly enhance lip volume. Amazing. Addictive.”

The packaging is really lovely and the name and fonts definitely stand out. This product does come in a range of attractive colours and I do like the idea behind them, but I just don’t like them. Firstly I dislike the scent because it is a sickly chocolate caramel type of scent and it makes me feel ill! Secondly the lipgloss is super sticky and I really don’t like the plumping sensation as it is quite strong. I wasn’t able to do a full wear test with them due to the plumping sensation, but from experience lipglosses tend to stay on your lips for around two hours if you don’t eat or drink anything. I didn’t really notice any extra plumpness to my lips because I wasn’t able to keep the product on my lips long enough. Because of the strong stinging sensation I’m guessing it must add some noticeable volume to your lips. They do not give a completely opaque colour on the lips but they do have good pigmentation because you can tell what colour it is when it is on your lips. Also this product is quite expensive for a lipgloss, but if you are a lipgloss junkie (unlike me) the price may not bother you.

Overall I wouldn’t re-purchase them because I don’t really like lipgloss and I dislike the plumping kind even more and I just never wear it anyway. I also cannot really recommend them because I couldn’t stand the plumping sensation and it is definitely not a very pleasant feeling on my lips!

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters #2

When I first heard that KALEIDOS was releasing a new Space Age highlighter, I knew I would be getting it! They have also updated the packaging of all of the highlighter tins and they reformulated Mars Melter. They were re-stocking all of the highlighters on Monday 9 th November 8pm PST, so that was Tuesday 10 th November 4am for me! I stayed up waiting for the website to be live and I finally got my hands on Sky Walker and I also picked up the reformulated Mars Melter and the new Space Age Prophecy of course! There was also a sale on the whole site, I got Mars Melter and Sky Walker for $10.50 (RRP $14.00) each and The Space Age Prophecy for $27.00 (RRP $36.00). I am really surprised they offered a discount for the newest highlighter as it was also the launch date for it and there is only a limited quantity available of this highlighter every week. I was very lucky; I got on the site at 4:01am and was checked out and paid up by 4:03am! I paid $8.00 shipping and my order came to $56.00...

Birchbox #4 - May 2015

This month’s theme is ‘Free Your Mind’. The box comes looking quite plain, but with a patterned outline. You also got a small packet of coloured pencils, which you were supposed to use to decorate the box. Here is what products were inside my box:- Jelly Pong Pong Caribbean Sun Bronzer Duo in Martinique | 3g - £15.95 | This is kind of an odd product. It actually looks like eyeshadow. I’m also guessing you would have a hard time applying it as the pans are quite small, and it doesn’t look like a make-up brush would fit in there. CAUDALIE Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturiser in 01) Light | 15ml - £27.00 | I am quite interested in trying this and it looks like a decent sample. I’ve tried a serum from this line before and loved that, so I am hoping this is good. Even if I do like it, I’m not sure I would pay out for a full size tube! WAH LONDON Nail Polish in Baby Gurl | 6.5ml - £9.00 | This looks like a really nice light pink and I can’t wait to try it!...
