Beauty Product Reviews

Lovely everyday color with some oomph!

I was looking for a color I could wear for work and for running errands. I wanted something with sparkle, but not in your face. I think I found it with this gloss.

First off, the formula is great. As a lip balm junkie, I feel this gloss wears a little heavier than a balm on the lips, which is not a bad thing. This gloss is very comfortable to wear and I feel it moisturized my lips as well as any of my lip balms. Second, the color was very pretty and I loved the pink shift in it. I was pleasantly surprised to find the glitter was not gritty and it did not get all over the place, it stayed put all day and was easy to take off with a damp wash cloth.

The reason why I deducted one star was because this gloss will cling to any dry patches you have on your lips. I was running late so I did not have time to exfoliate my lips with my JSC lip scrub, I just went over them with my toothbrush then popped on the gloss. When I was on break I was embarrassed to see the crusty skin flakes on my lips. Now I realize this is my fault for not taking the time to prep, but I thought I would point it out for anyone expecting to pop this gloss on and be good to go.

I would still recommend this product to any one looking for a quality gloss. Just make sure to have an extra minute or two to prep your lips before putting it on.

Refreshing Scent/Taste

I was hesitant to get the Cucumber Mint flavor, I did not know if the scent was for me, but I did a quick search for a review and found a Youtuber describing it as a refreshing scent/flavor. I am happy to say they were right! I love how this smells and tastes! I tend to scrub my lips in the morning and this scent is a nice "wake you up" kind of scent. It is subtle, nice, and very refreshing.

For the most part, I loved the formula. It did not leave a thin film or greasy feeling on my lips. The sugar was not chunky or harsh feeling, and it also did not melt instantly as soon as I put it on my lips (which I have experienced with other lip scrubs).

The only thing I deducted a star for was it did not get rid of all my dry skin. I am new to using JSC lip scrubs so maybe I haven't gotten the hang of it or I have extra dry lips, but I still needed to lightly exfoliate my lips again with a damp washcloth or q-tip to slough off all the dead skin. However, the JSC lip scrub did get rid of most of the dry skin, softened my lips so it was easy to get rid of any left over dry skin, and the formula was pleasant to feel and taste. I would definitely repurchase it again.
