My Experience with Lorac Lips with Benefits Lip Gloss – Nick:

Packaging/Applicator:  Okay, so I have to admit this is the most stunning looking lip gloss that I possess. It has a swirling pattern of pink, white and golden which looks absolutely beautiful. The swirls appear different from different angles of the tube. It reminds me a little of those swirled candy canes. My pictures surely don’t do full justice to this beauty!

But having said that, this very design is also a con because you are not sure of how the final shade is going to look on your lips. Also, the beautiful swirl/zig-zag pattern gets smudged after repeated use and eventually you are left with a monochrome lip gloss.

The lip gloss is packaged in a sleek rectangular tube with a metallic cap. The cap shuts tight and there is no danger of leakage.  It has a doe-foot applicator which is typical of lip glosses. The applicator picks up just the required quantity of the product. It also makes the application easy even around the corner of the lips and the cupid’s bow.

Formula:  This lip gloss is thick in consistency and feels slightly sticky when you apply it, but it doesn’t feel sticky over time. It doesn’t bleed on the lips. The staying power of the lip gloss is really good. It easily stays on for around 4 hours and can survive light snacking. It feels absolutely comfortable and hydrating on the lips.

Fragrance:  The lip gloss has a pleasant sweet caramel-like fragrance. The packaging mentions crème brulee fragrance and yes, that’s exactly what it smells like 😛

Shade:  Now, this is a tricky one. I was quite curious to see how all those swirls finally translate onto the lips.  When I swiped it on my hand, it appeared as a sparkly light pink. It appears as a light pink glossy tint on my pigmented lips. I was worried about the very visible shimmer particles in the tube, but they are not really visible on the lips and help to give a nice sheen to the lips.

To summarize, LORAC Lips with Benefits Lip Gloss in the shade “Nick” is a visually stunning lip gloss which also has a pretty good formula and glossy finish. It looks like candy cane and smells like creme brulee, but are you willing to spend $18 on it?
