This is such a gorgeous looking gloss. I purchased this from Pagan Marie for a great price. The packaging is just super adorable and I think this is the best part about the product, the packaging and the fact it has a unicorn on it, who doesn't like unicorns he he he.
It comes in a handy tube with lovely twists in it, reminds me of an aniseed twist but clear.
The formula is quite interesting. Its not super thick like some glosses are and I like that but it is just a wee bit sticky. This would be great to go over a matte type lipstick to bring back a nice shine or glossy look to it as I find matte lipsticks can be quite drying.
I tend to use this over a plain lipstick because this glittery gloss really gives it that WOW factor and makes your lips stand out and look quite sensuous.
Its a great handy gloss to have in your handbag to turn your day lipstick into a night time lipstick and make you shine.
When I ordered this, I intended to buy the shade "Present," but when Candy Apple came, it was so pretty that I was happy to just keep it.
Candy Apple is a sparkling true red, slightly cool-toned. It's packed with tiny red "sparkles," but I don't feel them, even when I rub my lips together. Candy Apple feels very emollient, lasts well, has a faint pleasant vanilla taste, and is quite pigmented. I can imagine wearing this alone, or over red lipstick. It does seem to want to "travel" just a bit, so liner is probably a good idea with this gloss. I love that Lime Crime is cruelty-free; that's a requirement for me.
The only "minus" is that the brush applicator was very stiff on first use, but I expect it to soften in time. I love this, and have already ordered "Present," the sparkly purple tubes that Lime Crime products come in seem a little undignified, but I can deal with it.
