In my campaign to avoid the perfume counter in Boots I found myself in the make up section instead a good 10 metres from temptation I'll add! Revlon the manufacturer that gave us the delightful Charlie ( note sarcasm here please!) isn't my first choice in cosmetics in fact it's not my second nor my third choice. If it had not been for the nice sign in eye catching red saying 3 for 2 I'd have hurriedly passed by as I have on countless other occasions but the lure of 3 for 2 was too much. After a perusal of the available items I hurriedly rushed past the Perfume counter with only a quick spray of
Eternity Purple Orchid -rather nice I'll add and paid for my items.
Revlon manufacture at present two kinds of lip gloss in their lip glide range - a normal one and a sheer range. With 16 colours from siren reds to muted browns there probably is a shade to suit everyone in their range. Revlon state that the lip glide is heavily pigmented so isn't like your normal lip glosses with a mere hint of a tint to them. After trying several on the back of my wrist they appeared to look just like a glopy lip stick with a shine to them. I was sold and bought two as part of my 3 for 2 offer. The normal price is £7.49
Packaged very similar to a giant felt tip these chunky pens, come coloured to the shade you've just purchased, with a clear plastic lid you can see the applicator which for the life of me looks just like the top bit of a marker pen. Along the barrel of the pen written in gold the name of the product along with the colour shade you have chosen in my case it was the tweely named Berry Dazzling - a muted dusky pink shade and the ruby red Sparkling Sangria. At the bottom of the barrel it is split into a twistable part where the lip gloss is no doubtly stored.
After ridding the pen of it's protective plastic wrapper, I followed the instructions that simple state keep on twisting till colour appears. After a minute of twisting the bottom segment nothing appeared, a further minute of twisting and still nothing! After 5 minutes of frantic twisting -I was getting a wee bit miffed and was about to give up when suddenly colour splurged out of the tiny holes in the sponge applicator. With perhaps a wee bit more than I actually needed I started to apply the gloss. Now bare in mind this product is called Lip Glide so you'd expect it to glide over your lips wouldn't you? Unfortunately this is not the case with this product! It dragged across my lips leaving a glop of reddish gloss, after a few more "glides"over with the applicator the gloss was evenly applied. The immediate look was that of a shiny red glossy finish. My lips how ever felt like I'd mistakenly rubbed super glue all over them, it also tasted foul!
Having previously used Urban decays Lip Gunk I realizes that a pigmented lip gloss isn't like a lip stick with great staying power, but you do expect it to stay put a wee bit longer than this product does! Now I'm used to the first cuppa in the morning having lippy around the edges and indeed the first cigarette being stained to what ever lip stick/gloss I'm wearing but what I'm not used to is having to re apply straight away afterwards. Having tried the red lip gloss as I was going out for the evening I realized that after having a cuppa all of it was actually on the cup leaving me with a rather fetching (NOT) stained look to my lips. After cleaning it off I opted foolishly to try the muted pink one I'd purchased thinking it would look better. Unfortunately it's staying power was equally non existent and it also tasted just as foul. Half way throw the evening I gave and applied a normal lip stick instead!
Unfortunately I can find nothing in it's favour to recommend Revlon's Lip Glide. It's difficult to apply, the applicator drags over the lips, it has a similar feel to applying super glue to your lips, it has a knack of gliding off in a very short time span and more importantly it doesn't pass that all important snogging test!
