Hi Beauties,
Isn’t it wonderful when so many of your cousins are of same age as you! It is a source of joy and merriment during all festivals, birthdays and anniversaries. They are someone with whom you have fond memories, with whom you have shared all your life’s secrets, and can still turn to when you need help.
Today’s product was gifted to me by my cousin, more than a year back. These Calvin Klein Lip Glosses come in many shades, and she had picked these up among some other gifts for all us female cousins. I got the shade Orchid; which I will review for you today.

Pleasant to wear with a subtle flavor.

My Experience with Calvin Klein Orchid Delicious Pout Flavored Lip Gloss:
Packaging: It comes in a squeezable transparent plastic tube, with an applicator and cap at top. The applicator is just a slanted opening, through which one can squeeze out the product. The applicator is not of much use, as it does not distribute the product evenly on the lips. In fact, trying to do so will really create a mess at the mouth of the tube. One needs to use fingers or a lip brush to apply this.
Shade: This is a lip gloss, so that means that it will not be very high on color. Yet, it imparts a very pretty glossy plum color to the lips. The gloss is described as shimmery, but the shimmer particles are very minute, almost invisible. It imparts a very strong sheen to the lips. I could not detect any strong taste or smell in the product, which is a definite pro for me. This shade can be used by itself, or on top of any matte lipstick for a glossy effect.
Consistency: The lip gloss is slight thick and sticky. Every time ones purses her lips, a sticky sensation can be felt. However, it never feels heavy or uncomfortable. Also, despite having shimmer, it does not feel rough or gritty on the lips during application. It lasts for 4-5 hours on lips without any meals. Meals will remove the color and the stickiness along with it. Without meals, it will need a make-up remover, mainly to get rid of the stickiness.
