Left to right: Lilac Pastelle, Coral Reef, Pink Pop, Pink Whisper, Peach PetalFour of the shades featured in this post are cremes, and one is a frost/shimmer. I have been on a creme lip gloss kick lately, and these go on better than a lot of other (and more expensive) brands that I have tried.
Left to right: Lilac Pastelle, Coral Reef, Pink Pop, Pink Whisper, Peach PetalFirst up is Lilac Pastelle, a pastel purple shade that is a rare find in drugstore lines. For those of you who haven't tried purple lip products, don't fear! Usually purple lip glosses just tint the lips to a more cool, lilac pink color, rather than making them the color you see in the packaging. I have been wearing this over cool pink lipsticks, and it only tints them a little more to the cool-toned side. I'm very pleased!
Lilac PastelleNext is Coral Reef, a creme shade I'm pretty sure I'll be living in once the weather warms up. This definitely goes on more sheer than what you see in the packaging, and really just creates a nice peachy, coral lip. If I want more coral, I'll pair it over something like Revlon Pink About It matte lipstick, and if I want it more peachy-pink, I'll pair it over Revlon Sky Pink matte lipstick. Both combinations are gorgeous, yet different.
Pink Pop is a hot pink creme that is a must for pink lip lovers everywhere. The fact that it doesn't have any shimmer/glimmer/gritty glitter (rhyme?) in it makes it go so smoothly on the lips that it looks like glass. You could pair this over a lighter pink lipstick to brighten it, a red lipstick to make it more berry, or wear it alone for a glassy sheer pink effect.
Pink Whisper is the frosty shimmer gloss of the group in this post. It is a frosty light pink champagne color, and honestly, I don't see anything too special or unique about it. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but I feel like nearly every brand has a color like this.
Last is Peach Petal, an almost-nude peachy pink creme that is great for the days where you have more dramatic eye makeup and are trying to keep the rest of the face toned down, or if you are just going for a very understated, natural look. This looks awesome over nude lipstick shades, and is also good at just toning down my natural lip color a bit if worn alone. I didn't think I would like this one very much, until I tried it on. Then I was sold :)
Here are some swatches!
Overall, I highly recommend these glosses. To date, they are my favorite that I have found in a drugstore line! What are your favorite drugstore lip glosses?
