What would possibly possess anyone to try this lipgloss? It's hot pink, really vibrant, really bright. Tastes kind of funny, too (not so it bothers me, I'd just not like to eat it). And nobody knows anything about Biotherm, right?
Fortune smiles on the brave, however. Or on lucky makeup-obsessed fiends, at any rate. This is one of the prettiest lip glosses I've ever tried. It shouldn't surprise me, given that I think NARS Schiap is flattering on me (though in a very different way), but it does. It's not quite a watercolor tint (which has always struck me as rather useless), but it's sheer. And it's got a crystalline finish to it, which to my mind means, shimmery with flecks of sparkle. Ostentatious? No, somehow, it's not. It's just kind of sweet and girly. It's surprisingly easy just to "throw on". I think it's the application—it applies more like you've smudged it on haphazardly with a finger than a full-on paintbrush gloss. Bold color, done with complete casualness... somehow, it works.
It also makes a stunning finish on top of other lipsticks, party-ready for a night on the town.
I've given a tube to all my friends. For some reason, it looks great on them too.
