Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss Choco Luv Review

Hello ladies,

My review today is going to be on ‘Choco Luv #04’ from Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss range. I am not on and off user as far as products go. These glosses come for a good price and could make a good everyday gloss, but there is a lot of room for improvement as far as the shimmer ones from these go, specially the neutral shades and browns.

My Experience with Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss Choco Luv:

Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss Choco Luv Review2

It is always good to use experiment products and learn from your mistakes. Sometimes it is the color, texture, staying power, the fragrance or the price but I am very disappointed to find all of the mentioned cons packed into one lip product! It is a gloss and reiterating here, I am the gloss girl, so yes I am terribly disappointed! Only the non sticky part was a consolation maybe, and in case of ‘Choco Luv’ it was the color too! But, I hope to find a way to soothe this problem and find alternatives. No exaggeration, in my sincere opinion and with all humility and respect to the brand and product, it has by far been the most disappointing lip gloss I have ever used. Going to the details, I do not even take the blame for the choice of color and I thought a starry bronze would be alright but maybe I have changed my opinion for good.

From my observation, with glosses I tend to like less of the obvious sparkles or shimmers. A non shimmer and strictly creamy gloss that imparts a mirror like shine works best for me.. If you have moved on from shimmer to sheer and you expect your lip colors to have a promising level of pigmentation and staying power, this is not your cup of hot chocolate. I would anyday go for Street Wear’s Mega Shine Lip Gloss or Lakme FS Glosses even though they are sticky, they do not contain a disturbing fragrance and I personally like the collection from Street Wear. I expect that quality for this price.

My love for nude and browns happened after using Laura Mercier’s Lip Glazes so I am still game for those, but I can settle only for the ones that are creamy with a mild shimmer and a vanilla fragrance. I have always loved flavored products and the fragrance with this gloss was an experience that is one of a kind. Also, I am someone who never tends to eat or chew on my products but again my first time was with ‘Choco Luv’ maybe I just wanted it to be off my lips. The minute you open the cap, the dizzying smell can cloud your take on the product. It is a smell you cannot forget. Maybe I am more than just a little disappointed! Two things that I cannot make peace with as far as ‘Choco Luv’ goes is the texture and the fragrance that pretty much hits my face.

The biggest pro with this range is the non sticky nature of the product. So now we know the importance of reviews. It is always best to read the product reviews if you are want to be very certain about the product and more so if you are looking for anything particular that is product specific like the color or texture, brushing through the product reviews is the safest way to pick a product up. You get clarity and that is how I am a proud owner of many safe shades.

As far as this range goes, my personal choices and suggestions would be more of pinks and peaches like ‘Peachy Blush’, ‘Raspberry’, ‘Bubblegum’, ‘Cherry Burst’, ‘Rose Shimmer’ and definitely ‘Candy Ice’ being the safest of the safe as the browns are not very promising. If you would still like to opt for neutral shades or browns, you can go ‘Honey Beige’, ‘Mochachinno’ or ‘Apricot Fizz‘ as you cannot expect anything that is chic or loving about ‘Choco Luv’.

Pros of Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss Choco Luv:

• Neat packaging with clear specifications – name, code, color and ingredients
• Travel friendly
• Fine applicator that helps impart a good finish and lets you obtain just the right amount of the product as and when required
• If you can make peace with the color, makes a good everyday color
• Not heavy on the lips
• Not sticky
• Does not dry out the lips and lips do not bleed either
• Although it has a low staying power 2-3 hours, it leaves of tinge of shimmer or specks behind which is also barely visible

Cons of Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss Choco Luv:

• The soft, rosy fragrance is not soft. Overpowering in the very literal sense!
• Very low staying power
• Does not suit pigmented lips more so because it is on the sheer side
• Disappointing shimmer shade and gloss, especially in this range
• Color payoff is disappointing, almost sheer
• Not worth the money
• Has very low levels of pigmentation
• ‘Choco Luv’ in particular is quite a disappointing shade when it comes to nudes and browns; not flashy, not flattering
• Transfers a wee bit, but it before it can, it is off your lips!

IMBB Rating:
2.5/5

Would I Repurchase/Recommend Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss Choco Luv?
No, I would not! If you still want a low budget gloss, then I recommend this ‘Faces Go Chic Lip Gloss’ range but avoid this particular variant, ‘Choco Luv’.

Verdict
Disappointing for a gloss addict!

Tips:
• Could make an everyday gloss top coat for your lipstick according to the shade – preferably browns and reds (that is only if you can bear the fragrance) or brighter pinks that would make a good colored base for this gloss
• Not wise to use it alone if you have got pigmented lips
• Alternatives – Pair it up with a good pigmented lip color, paint, lacquer, balm or lipstick
• The low staying power (2-3 hours) could be used to your advantage – If your lips are not strained , apply an another lip color that gives full coverage as this gloss does not bleed and leaves only specks of it behind which is also barely visible
