For over thirty-something years, lip gloss has been my makeup staple - or rather obsession - and luck would have it: the latest formulas get better and better. Here’s the latest that stole my heart.
Read on to find out why.
Gucci Plumping Gloss à Lèvres, $76.
Gucci À Lèvres Plumping Lip Gloss comes in six shades.
This new designer lip gloss is an ultra-light, sheer, hydrating addition to any makeup bag: a gloss that is equal parts makeup and skin care.
What's in it?
The plumping power of this gloss is courtesy of cayenne pepper and ginger oil, which leaves an instant cooling, tingling sensation on the lips while helping to create that pillow-like look, too. Combining hyaluronic acid and black rose oil, it’s also an ultra-hydrating boost.
Why do I like it?
With six sheer shades, including clear, Teresina Red is my day option, and a cool burgundy called Suzanne Brown is a great look for the evening. It's an excellent gloss-topper of a smear of lipstick if you want to beef up the shine on your lips. Finally, I must mention the gorgeous star-spangled packaging that houses this melted honey-like sheen; while it’s pricey if you want to treat yourself to a new gloss, this is worth every swipe.
There are six colours in the collection.
Here’s why it’s a summer essential.
