i really liked the way it looked on me, the price not so much. there is a solution to that though, mark has their own version (glossblossom) for way less(6.50) & it is just as good!
So I got this lip gloss because i like a hint of colour on my lips but dont like to be too done up.
The colour itself is nice but I'm not convinced it will change to the perfect shade of custom pink.
I don't notice a difference in colour change when I compare it to my friends unless their lip colour differs a lot from mine. Other than that it feels great on the lips though silky and not sticky. But don't think the price is worth it in the end.
So according to Smashbox’s O-Gloss intuitive lip gloss, my body chemistry thinks the perfect shade for my lips is a screaming hot magenta. And for my friend who tried some on with me? Hers is that same shade of magenta—imagine that! In fact, the only shade I’ve seen this gloss “intuitize” is hot magenta. Sassy comments aside, I love the concept: the gloss includes this fancy Goji Berry-C Complex, which is supposed to react with your skin to produce a microcirculatory effect. In essence, it’s this effect that brings blood to the surface of your skin producing the natural rosy color your lips turn after, say, a heavy make-out session. Naturally, I was really excited to see the wonders of chemistry work their magic on my mouth, but I was sorely disappointed. After slathering it on and waiting about 30 seconds, the color looked more like dollar-store lip gloss than a perfectly-flushed pout.
Then, when I put some on the back of my hand, I realized it’s the gloss itself that changes color, not my skin. Smashbox, I think there’s something wrong with your Goji Berry-C Complex.
Now, it’s not a bad color pink—it’s pretty much the color of the tube that it comes in—it’s just not my color. Or anyone I really know’s color. The consistency, though, is very similar to their lip enhancing gloss, which is long lasting without being too sticky. It’s also really hydrating and didn’t dry out my lips. But when you’re buying O-Gloss for $22 a tube, you’re really paying to watch clear gloss turn bright pink.
