17 Mirror Shine On Lipstick Take 2

I’m annoyed with myself for buying more of these. I previous had two, one of which was stolen by my sister whilst the other just melted into a goopy mess. This is their greatest flaw (I’ll get to the good bits in a minute). These are so soft and prone to breaking that I’m planning on keeping them in the fridge until winter comes around. Despite this these lippies are immensely popular and for good reason. They cost only £4.49 and are often on a 3 for 2 offer which I took advantage of to buy these. They are an unusual compromise between a lipstick and a gloss offering semi sheer colour with a high shine finish. I also find them very moisturising. 

Here I Have Bee Hive (pale peach nude), Purple Haze (deep purple berry tone) and Peace (neon coral). All of these are shimmer free but impart a juicy glossy look to the lips without the goopy feeling f wearing a lip gloss. I have uber pigmented lips which unfortunately means that Bee Hive just doesn’t look too good on me. I have to prep my lips extremely well otherwise it shows up every imperfection despite the moist, forgiving formula. On the other hand Purple Haze and Peach show up well on me and look rather bright and summery. 

The sheer nature of these mean that you can just chuck them on without needing a mirror and go but you still get enough colour to make it worthwhile applying it. I’d take these over lip gloss any day as I just prefer lipsticks. The only downside is their tendency to break off and melt but this annoys me enough to make me wonder why I did buy more and I definitely won’t be purchasing any more shades. They look great but I’m terrified I’m going to break them every time I apply them. Meh ...
