Shine Blast Lip Gloss, Shine-ON!
I'll admit, I'm a huge sucker for shiny pretty packaged lip gloss. Cover Girl's Shine Blast lip gloss only fed my hunger. Three pretty silver tubes, in Ember (clearish), Fire (coralish), and Ignite (pinkish), were glittery shiny heaven. When I was a teen, I was gaga for any kind of glittery lip gloss. As I've matured in makeup taste, I'm less keen on the glitter stuff. So the glitter in the Fire and Ignite made me a slight bit hesitant, but not that much. I was so excited about the Ember color that I put it on immediately after opening, which happened to be right before engagement pictures. (This might not have been the best time to try a new makeup product!)
Makeup intuition was correct! The clear was so pretty with just enough shine that it was perfect over my lipstick.
A few days later I tried the other colors, and was pleasantly surprised that the glitter I was worried about was completely unnoticeable. Both were sheerer than I expected.
So here's my breakdown:
Likes/Loves:
I love the shiny tube packaging.
It's the perfect size for sticking in a pocket or clutch!
The special tip applicator made it easy for no-mirror application.
The glitter was off-putting at first, but was so subtle that it was gorgeous once applied!
I love the "Ember" shade! One of the best/prettiest clear shades I have ever had.
The price can't be beat: $7.99 ( Ulta ) $8.99 ( CVS )
Dislikes:
There was really only one. I wish it was a more pigmented! So I could use it as lip color, not just as cover over lipstick!
