Three days ago, my little sister gave me a tiny makeup item. It came in a tiny pink box. The name of this little makeup item is lip polish by Luscious cosmetics. To be honest, I never heard of this brand before. But its intention seems good.
According to the lip polish’s label, Luscious cosmetics does not test its products on animals. In fact, they are very much in love with these species. Additionally, this lip polish contains Vitamin E and antioxidants. Other ingredients include a wide range of oily compounds, vanilla, min and different kinds of seed extracts. By the way, the one I have got has the color named as Bali. I will say it is a pale pink. Luscious Cosmetics reveals that this product can also be used for lip treatment.
Now as mentioned in my previous posts, I always review a makeup product only after trying it out for 3 months. I will not do the same with this lip polish because it is just another lip gloss. So let’s begin with its benefits. Then we will jump to problems and verdict.
Benefits:
The tube of the lip polish is quite small. So it can be easily taken anywhere. Next, the color called Bali has a magical appearance. It reminds me of Britney Spears’ Oops! I did it video. I remember that she was one of the first people to promote the glossy lip trend. She just did it through that specific video.
Overall, the color of lip polish gives quite a good highlight to the lips. Just take a look at the gloss. It is so shiny that it is appearing blurry in the picture.
Apparently, the lip polish color is so thick that it can be taken as equal to a lipstick. At least when I wore it that is how I felt. Good news is that the color actually stays on the lips for several hours. So the lip polish can be taken as a great alternative to ordinary lipsticks.
I also think that the scent of the liquid is pleasing. It does not scream. Now there is something more interesting about this lip polish that I will share here. I noticed that it gives a cooling effect to the lips. I am guessing that it comes from the mint extract.
Problems:
Lip polish is sticky. It simply feels like thick glue on the lips. Does it heal cracks like lip balms? Unfortunately, no! My lip cracks actually went more visible after I wore it. They even seemed thornier.So I don't think that the healing properties Luscious Cosmetics used to make this item are utilized properly. Another negative thing that this lip gloss has is the applicator. See its image below.
It is just another brush whose soft bristles, during application, go here and there. I am quite sure it is something that will not last longer. The price of the lip polish is unfair also. It is $18. I don’t think such a tiny tube should be of that high price.
Verdict:
Luscious Cosmetics’ lip polish can be beneficial to all those who are looking for a product containing high volume of gloss and lipstick color. The cooling effect that this product gives is not unique, but very much needed for harsh lips. But again, it does not heal the cracks and thus, it cannot be used as a lip treatment product. Yet the color looks extremely beautiful. For all this, this lip polish gets a 3.5 star out 5 stars from me.
