What makes the gloss stand out is its applicator, which is designed to look like a kiss-shape. The applicator does give a very good coverage and allows for precise application, though I am not sure I would describe it as revolutionary.
Available in 23 shades, I bought No.4 Fuchsia Vermeil (£21). Its a very cool toned pink with a scattering of golden glitter (which feels smooth).
It has a shiny, glossy finish and a lightweight, hydrating texture. However, even though its billed as non sticky, I don't find that the case, its not over the top but there is some stickiness/tackiness to it. It has an average wear and this particular shade does leave behind a stain.

I think this is a much improved formula compared to the Golden Gloss, which I found sometimes gritty in texture and with a heavy feel. Had this truly been non sticky, I would be picking up a few more of these as there are some really lovely shades in the collection.
I bought this from John Lewis
Oh my that applicator is cute and the color is lovely! I might go for a nice coral myself. :)
ReplyDeleteIts certainty a novel applicator :) They had quite a few nice corally shades from memory.
DeleteThe applicator is adorable! I'm not that big on glosses and I've never tried the previous version, but I'm glad to hear the formula has indeed improved!
ReplyDeleteI think the golden glosses are quite popular so will be interesting to see what the general consensus is with the new formula :)
DeleteWhat a cute applicator Clare and this is such a lovely shade, it must look great on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I do like the shade, though can't say its particular unique, its so hard to judge from in store lighting, I could have done with doing a swatch fest of them all and going out and having a look in natural light ;)
DeleteGreat post! I had no idea that the Golden Glosses would be history that soon! I loved the shades, but texture was too sticky! Hope I get along better with the new formula! Can't wait to see the complete color range!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Christmas dear! xx
Thanks Tina, hope you had a nice Christmas as well, I managed to put on 2 pounds already so will be diet time come January ;)
DeleteI do find the formula is much better than the golden glosses, worth having a look at the counter, as am sure you will find some shades you will want to take home with you xx
