As lippies go, lip glosses are probably the product that I wear the least. I tend to prefer cream and matte finishes over high shine or high gloss, but every now and again it’s nice to mix things up a bit like I did today.
The Marvellous Moxie lip gloss range from Bare Minerals is very nice as glosses go, and the shade I wore today, is a lovely barely there nude with a sheer gold metallic finish that has an almost shimmery look to it.
Now, this is a high shine gloss so I did have the hair sticking to my lips situation, especially as it was quite windy this evening. So I did find that a little annoying, I’m not going to lie.
However, the feel of this is very soft on application, and doesn’t feel overly sticky when you wear it. I loved the gold sheen to the shade, it’s something quite different for me, and unlike many other glosses, it actually made my lips feel quite soft and moisturised too.
The best thing about the gloss for me is the menthol element because I love anything minty. Plus, I weirdly like products that make my lips tingle slightly; I’ve no idea why, but it makes me feel like they are working wonders in the background or something!
Anyway, weirdness aside, overall I quite liked wearing this today. I don’t think it’ll make me like lip glosses any more than I do now, but I would definitely wear this one again.
