Advantages: Hint of colour

Disadvantages: No plumping action

Boots 17 ultimate volume lip gloss
I have lots of lip glosses but am constantly buying new ones especially if I find myself bored in an airport, and more so if there is a free gift involved (even if I don't want the free gift!)

THE PROMISE...

The lip gloss promises to give a intense colour for fuller, plumped up looking lips, although unusually there are no claims of a secret formula!!

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING...

As expected, the lip gloss comes in a tube containing 8ml of the product, and with a screw on/off black lid and the name of the product on the front. It is dermatologically tested and fragrance free, so i doubt it will be damaging my lips.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY...

I bought mine in a Boots shop, but it is also available online at www.boots.com with a RRP of £1.85, so this isn't one which will break the bank. There appear to be three colours available but I have the Moonshine Violet which is a darkish pink with what looks like a hint of glitter.

THE LIPGLOSS...

When I apply the lip gloss with the small applicator sponge, it goes on easily and although i was expecting to see some glitter, thankfully there was none. In actual fact, when applied, it was very hard to see the colour as it blended into my lips. I was rather pleased with this as i don't like obvious colours but prefer a more subtle approach, and this gave me just that- the merest hint of a colour but lips did look glossy. There was no stickiness and the lip gloss stayed put until I ate when it did come off although it did have some staying power when I had a drink, and because it is "barely there" I left none of those awful lipstick stains on the cup.

VERDICT...

For the money, this is a good value every day lip gloss, especially when I notice that there seems to be a half price sale on some online stores- time to stock up! It keeps my lips moisturised with a hint of colour and no stickiness and stays put. However, as far as the claims for fuller lips go, i am not convinced. I usually expect some tingling when I apply lip pouter lip gloss and there was none of this for me, and definitely no fuller lips. However, that said, i don't really want tingling and pouty lips for work, so it wasn't a problem- for that price I don't expect miracles.

Recommended for anyone wanting a good value lip gloss.
