Hey everyone! Hope all of you guys are doing great!
I've been absolutely pooped these days, I have two more days left for my Hair Styling course at at Mu and I couldn't be more relieved! The timings are pretty awkward and I don't get to blog or do much else. >.<
Not to mention I TOTALLY suck at hair, with all the aptitude I have been blessed with in the field of makeup, I think I have the negative of that in hair! Lol!
Oh well, keep trying right?
Anyway, today I'm reviewing Maybelline's new Colorsensational High Shine Gloss in the shade Glisten Up Pink!
Price:
INR 350
Packaging:
The lipgloss comes in a typical lip gloss packaging except that instead of it being round, it's square. The transparent tube lets you see what kind of colour it is. A weird thing about the packaging though is that it has no name of the brand, colour or anything like that on the side of the tube. WHY? I don't know. -__-'
It has a normal doe foot wand.
It has the name of the colour on the bottom.
Colour, Texture and Fragrance:
Glisten Up Pink is a baby pink colour, great for those who have fair and cooler skin. It has tiny silver shimmers that give the lips a plump look. They don't feel gritty in anyway and the lipgloss is quite smooth.
It has a very faint citrus smell and is completely non-sticky.
Swatches:
 |
| On left: Thick swatch On right: Spread out |
As you can see, the baby pink colour doesn't suit me much at all, and washes me out or rather makes my skin look a bit yellow.
It is however a great colour to apply over nude lipstick or liner like MAC Spice, paired up with a black smokey eye.

| One layer: Pigmentation still shows. |
 |
| Two layers: Pigmentation well covered but still showing |
 |
| Over nude pink lip liner |
Wear:
The High Shine gloss doesn't last too long on my lips especially after eating. Because it is non-sticky it doesn't have the wear that another stickier gloss would have. A problem I had with this colour was that the silver shimmers would spread a bit around my mouth area. >.<
Without eating it lasts for 3-4 hours.
Overall:
Not being a lip gloss girl, I liked this one just because of the non sticky texture. It doesn't last long because of this though. The shimmers add a 3 dimensional look but move around. So for every pro there seems to be a con. The best pros are that it is cheap and available everywhere!
Of course, I would buy this gloss, especially to use on shoots but definitely would prefer a different colour, like Gleaming Grenadine or Captivating Coral just because they would suit me better!
There are 8 shades of the Colorsensational High Shine Glosses. You can see them all here.
