I’m thinking this may be my next lip gloss to try. As I’ve stated before, I’m in love with Lip Fusion as a lip plumper and gloss, but still would like something that I can apply as a gloss that also doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to wear as just a simple gloss without the plumping, which I’m not in need of 24/7. I’ve read some good reviews online about BeneFit’s “The Gloss”, which is a lip gloss that is supposed to stay put pretty well, like my beloved Lip Fusion, and also stay shiny and not break up or look caky after it wears for a while.
The Gloss comes in several different, mostly light, shades that are pinkinsh and purple in hue. It also comes in a sheer, clear formula as well. The shades that it comes in are named : Crystal (clear), Rave Reviews (a deeper purple tone - I like it), Streakin, No Peeking, Corsage, Chaperone, Annette’s Flip, and Kiss Me. Looks like these names are all inspired by a high school/50′s theme as a lot of stuff BeneFit’s kitchy marketing does. Using a light reflective lip gloss is one of the best ways to naturally plump the lips.
The Gloss is very reasonably priced also, it’s $14 for a reasonably sized tube. It looks like it comes with a sponge applicator, which has it’s pros and cons vs a brush applicator, but for lip gloss vs. lip stick, this is fine! Some of these new lip glosses which say they stay put longer usually use some sort of silicone technology that bonds better to the lip, this process can sometimes dry the lips out more, but I’ve found with newer formulas they seem to have eliminated the drying factor.
