Advantages: nice gloss, jojoba oil god for preventing chapped lips
Disadvantages: not a fan of the applicator, not currently available :(
I am one of those people who has about 10 - 15 different lipsticks, lipglosses, tubs, tins, sticks, you name it I've got it. I find my lips get dry really quickly (more so in these winter months!) and I really hate not having some kind of moisturiser in my bag/car/bedside table etc lol. I also have a little cosmetic purse with all kinds of glosses in it and this is one of them.
The lipgloss comes in a 10ml pink tube with a blue screw top lid. Underneath the lid, the applicator for the gloss is slanted, and has a small hole through which you can extract the product with a gentle squeeze and also apply it straight to the lips. I am not a big fan of these type of applicators if I am honest and usually avoid them but I remember this being on offer in the clearance section (in one of those pamphlets you often get with a Avon brochure) for only £1 so decided to give it a go.
The gloss is a decent gloss, which is not overly runny but does have the tendency to leak outside the lip line if it is squeezed too much during application and too much has come out. As a result, on a number of occasions I have had to wipe around so my lips don't look like they have been dipped in grease! Nevertheless, it is not sticky or thick on the lips and does leave has a slight pink tint to it, but I must say this can not be seen once it is actually applied to the lips. It lasts quite long so means I don't have to keep dipping in my pocket to re-apply it which is a bonus for me and my trout pout lol.
The selling point for Avon on this product is the jojoba oil ingredient. It's meant to be beneficial in helping chapped lips, and whilst I did not buy this product for this in mind (I have Carmex for that!) I did find it was soothing on my lips and since it prevents them from drying out - it thus inadvertently prevents my lips becoming chapped. So a big thumbs up on this one for me!
Overall this is a pretty decent lipgloss, to give my lips a little sheen and prevent them drying out and looking all chapped and flaky. Sadly I think this is now discontinued as I haven't seen it in the brochure for a while, nor is it available online. I hope it comes back as I would definitely buy it again, although probably at the clearance price of 99p as for any cost more than this, you can get something equivalently as good (and probably would last longer) from Superdrug.
Summary: bring this back Avon, you were onto a winner here!
