I have to admit I have a soft corner for this brand. Somehow their things are delicately made to perfection.I was happy to receive products from them to review.I really wanted to try their glosses and this one is such a beauty.On the first glance, you would think this is a disco party color.But you are mistaken.The color looks red shimmer but on the lips it is the most beautiful high shine muted cherry red with no shimmer.If you like lip gloss, if you like tinted lip glosses over opaque colors, this is for you!

 

The tube is cute, with the logo on the cap.The tube is see-through and the applicator is a brush on one. Somehow I like wider more flexible lip gloss applicators and this is great.you have more control over the product.You could slather it on top of your lipstick, you could go full color over lips directly.But the process of going dab-dab with those regular doe-foot applicator is eliminated.This brush is on the slim side and flexible to work with your product.

 

The color is the most gorgeous slightly blue cherry red but very muted.The shimmer is barely there on the lips.You will notice now how dark it is on the tube but on the lips, it is  very toned down, in fact you might see less red and more of a glossy shine.

The gloss is high shine, very wet lips-look, rather than metal or cream finish.This is water shine and makes lips look luscious and fuller. In fact you will love it on top of lipsticks too since this does not add too much color on the lipstick worn already.Overall the color is really beautiful, the right balance of being a red with wet shine and also making lips shine with health.This smells or tastes like nothing.No sensitivity or staining either.

Coming to the con,  the only con I find is that this kind of bleeds on me . This will need a matte base to it, I think it will slip out of lip lines in no time.The wear time is just 1-2 hours and since there is barely any color, this will not leave a stain.This also transfers everywhere it touches.So I think I need to tame the bleeding with a matte base.Some may say it is not as pigmented as they might have thought or wanted it to be.Otherwise no issues with this gloss.
