Lip Product Review: YSL 49 Golden Violet Golden Gloss

Lip Gloss: YSL Golden Gloss in 49 Golden Violet

Availability: These are discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: Possibly.
Notes:   I would describe this as a buildable, semi-sheer magenta-fuchsia-berry color with golden sparkles. 

  In terms of texture, this gloss is very smooth and comfortable to wear. I love the brush applicator; it gives amazing precision. Wear time is about 4 hours before needing a retouch. It has a fruity, sweet scent that I believe is supposed to be papaya. I don't think it smells like papaya but the scent did grow on me.

Disclaimer: My bestie got this for me. 

Lip Product Review: NYX Sugar Cookie Butter Gloss

Lip Gloss: NYX Butter Gloss in Sugar Cookie

Availability: This particular shade has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: Maybe.
Notes:   Color-wise this is described as a bright fuchsia. To me this reads as more of a muted fuchsia meets magenta kind of shade. 

  In terms of texture, this gloss is fairly smooth and silky on the lips, it feels really moisturizing and I really enjoy its texture. This has a sweet, sugar scent to it.

Disclaimer: I bought this myself.

Lip Product Review: MAKE UP FOR EVER M0 Lab Shine Metal Collection

Lip Gloss: MAKE UP FOR EVER Lab Shine Metal Collection in M0

Availability: Unfortunately this has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: Yes.
Notes:   I would describe this as a buildable semi-sheer/semi-opaque black gloss with silver micro-glitter. It's pretty on its own or when worn over pretty much any other color. I love this so much in fact that I bought a backup. I used to wear this when I was at a bad mood at Sephora but got so many compliments on it that I just bought it and then went on to buy a second one when I heard they were discontinuing these. The funny thing is when I told people I was buying it they'd be like "oh no, a black gloss that's weird, don't do it" but they'd see me in it and be like "never mind, do it! Do it!"

  In terms of texture, this gloss is very smooth going on and wears well for about 3-4 hours before needing a retouch. Honestly this was my favorite gloss formula and I'm bummed that it's gone. This has a really pleasant fruity scent to it.

Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.

Lip Product Review: MAKE UP FOR EVER 500 Artist Plexi-Gloss

Lip Gloss: MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Plexi-Gloss in 500

Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: No.
Notes:   Color-wise this is described as an opaque lilac. To me this reads as more of a pinkish purple, borderline cool-toned purplish magenta. 

  In terms of texture, this gloss is very tacky when worn alone and gets to be less tackier with a balm  or lipstick beneath it and with time, that said when you apply it, it feels super gloppy. :/
