Street Wear Double Scoop Lip Gloss and Glitter in Coffeelicious Review

Street Wear Double Scoop Lip Gloss and Glitter in Coffeelicious Review

Hey there!

Like every other teenager on this planet, my foray into cosmetics started with a simple lip gloss. In all my years of searching, (yes, I am sounding like an old lady! :p) I have tried a huge number of glosses; ones that were very affordable and a select few that burned a hole in my dad’s pocket. *smirk*  But nevertheless, I never really got my HG lip gloss, that was a mix of a decently priced but amazing product, maybe my latest haul will help in that avenue. *fingers crossed*  The product I am now going to review is one of the earliest glosses I purchased and for some reason stuck around for quite a while.

Price:

120 INR

Quantity:

3.9 grams (glitter) + 4 grams (gloss).

Packaging:

It’s like an adorable UFO! I am absolutely in love with the look it projects, but sadly, it has many inherent flaws that are too huge to ignore. First, the packaging is not travel safe. The screwing mechanism is flawed and the tub can be pulled apart without any unscrewing.  Second, it’s a little unnecessarily bulky and can’t be stored easily. Third, there is no ingredient list present anywhere.

Fourth, the tub packaging makes application and reapplication a tad unhygienic. If you have long nails, like I do, then you will be confronted with the icky task of removing product from under your nails. *shudder*

My Take on Street Wear Double Scoop Lip Gloss and Glitter in Coffeelicious:

Seeing as this was one of my first products, the teen me, was in love with it and actually repurchased it once, but the more mature me, can see too many flaws for a repurchase.

First off, the gloss is just “glossy” and isn’t all that pigmented. On my pigmented lips, it just seems like a clear gloss. It is also insanely sticky! It just feels icky and uncomfortable on my lips. It attracts objects like an electromagnet! Hair, dust, you name it, and it attracts it  -.-

On the bright side, using the glitter, definitely tones down the stickiness considerably, but the product itself is considerably clumpy. It’s consistency, can be likened to, finely milled glitter being mixed with some old clumpy Vaseline.  The gloss alone, stays for an hour without eating anything and the glitter+gloss lasts for 2 hours, at best.  The glitter can be mixed with your body lotion for some very subtle shimmer highlights, which is a huge plus at the price point offered.

The smell is a very strong Vanilla-citrus fragrance, that just makes my sinuses close up in response. It’s too strong and lingers for quite a while after application.  It isn’t a bad product, on the whole. For young non-pigmented lips, it’s a decently priced product. But if you aren’t looking forward to the next Justin Beiber album, this product isn’t for you! :p
