No7 High Shine Lipgloss SPF15 in Smile and Happy

Long time no blog! I took a little week of to focus on a couple of life issues but I’m back and ready to get blogging! It’s been a crazy week but the pleasant side effect of that is I haven’t even had time to think about buying makeup :p Anyhoo those of you in the UK will be very familiar with the Boots £5 vouchers that show up every couple of months. I never know what to buy with them so somehow I ended with two of these glosses. The light yellow pink is Happy and the deeper rosy pink is Smile, neither have any shimmer in them. Cute names!

They have a very strong sweet smell. It’s not sickly like the sugar orange scent you get in some ELF products or the NYX round lip glosses but it is very sugary and they taste sweet too. If scents like that bother you I’d steer clear but personally I don’t mind it. They applicators are a bit weird. They have a brush but it’s so short and stubby that you don’t get much product on the wand so I have to dip several times when applying. 

These are sheer on, you really do only get a hint of colour but lots of shine. The texture is lovely on the lips as these are completely not sticky. They feel and act almost like a lip balm which makes them fab to just chuck on if you don’t have a mirror handy. Because they aren’t sticky they don’t last long on the lips though. 

Personally I think the full price of £9 is a bit much for these. They are perfectly nice and I do wear them but they aren’t amazaballs in anyway. If you’re after a sheer moisturising gloss though you could do worse but I’d wait till you have the £5 off vouchers. I don’t think I need any more of these but I will use the two I have x
