"Pleasantly Plump Pink"
{Say that three times fast!! hehe, such a cute name though}
The first thing I loved about this lip gloss is the big fat tube it comes in! And when you open it, the applicator is just as big as I expected! It is so easy to pick up enough product to put on your lips in one swipe or pack it on and not take a bunch of applications to do so!
The gloss is kind of thick coming out of the tube on the applicator wand. Once it's on your lips, it's a little sticky but it is so shiny! I love it! Lip GLOSS should be shiny right?!
It sparkles and gives your lips shine from every angle.
The only thing is that this bottle looks more orangey in person and dare I say a nude shine on the lips. I could not find the pink anywhere! Nonetheless, it did look pretty cute on my lips!
Now, on to the scent, it has no scent. It smells like whatever all it's ingredients smell like. It's not fruity or perfumy. It also has no taste. I always prefer glosses with a flavor and smell just for the fun of it but this one was not unpleasant so it did not bother me. However, after an hour or so of having it on my lips, I felt like I had an aftertase I otherwise would not have. I had to keep popping mints because it tasted weird.
(I read somewhere a long time ago that plumping lip glosses have chili powder in them to swell up your lips and that is what I kept thinking about when I had this taste, [I HATE any kind of CHILI], however, I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN THIS LIP GLOSS)
About the plumping: I definitely felt the tingle, (and sort of a burn) right away. [Plumping lip glosses have made me feel a burn in the past, I must have sensitive lips.] My top lip is thiner than my bottom lip originally, so I feel like this did not plump my bottom lip a lot, but it plumped my top lip noticeably. It looked like how celebrities lips look when they do bototx! Sort of fat and flat right on the cupids bow middle.
I was definitely happy with the visual plumping effect and results!
Oh and let me not forget that these retail around $3.99 (even a few cents cheaper if you get it at Wal-Mart)!! It is so worth a try! here is their website, so you can find out more info! NYC Big Bold Gloss
