AMW Reviews: TBS Love Gloss

I haven't been a gloss person for the longest time because I have been sporting a natural lipstick look.  But the nice natural lips always turn into a parched-land!  Definitely a turn off right? So a gloss is definitely needed to save me from embarrassment!  

When The Body Shop came out with a gloss called The Love Gloss, I can't resist, such a cute name, with cute packaging!  Judging by the look of the packaging, it feels like Valentine's Day over again!  

The Body Shop Love Gloss says ---

Best if you want to create alluring lips with brilliant color and shine.  Best for all skin tones.

What this is designed to do:

• The specially designed heart-shaped brush has a reservoir that stores the gloss during application for an even layer of shiny color.
• Organic, virgin, cold-pressed Community Trade coconut oil softens and conditions skin.
• Community Trade cocoa butter is an excellent moisturizer that melts at body temperature, leaving skin soft and silky smooth.

Pros

• non-sticky
• good staying power
• after the "super shine" fades, the lips ended up looking still moisturized!
• nice doe-shape (almost heart shape) applicator

• applicator is easy to clean or wipe as it's not too thick
• fool proof lip applicator, it'll be hard to mess up with this easy-to-apply applicator!

 

• very shiny yet natural looking, like you just licked your lips (sexy!)
• the more I use this, I actually felt my lips getting a bit softer and moisturized!

Cons

• others may not find this a con but I don't like the fruity scent, it smells like mango, pineapple...fruit salad? *hahaha*  I swear, others like this scent, I just don't! :)

Overall

If you are on a look out of a gloss that's non-sticky, moisturizes the lips and lasts, this is the one!  Gives a nice three dimensional look on a boring matte lipstick.

Tips

• always remember to exfoliate your lips once to twice a week for softer, more supple lips
• top this over your favorite lipstick for a nice, healthy shine
• wipe the wand after every use 
• never share this gloss with anybody else, use a disposable lip brush or wand if sharing is needed :P

Will I repurchase?
Yes!  In other shades!

Where to purchase and how much?
At local The Body Shop stores for Php650.00 (approx $14.13)

Easy to apply on lips with the heart shaped applicator

Applied on lips without lipstick or lip balm

Sorry, my lips are naturally pigmented, 

but this gloss is definitely clear :P

Have a wonderful lip smacking Saturday!!!
I'll be off to prettify someone today!  So excited!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
