Seeing as
Boots/ No. 7 kept throwing vouchers at me recently, I decided to treat myself
to some lip gloss. I’m more a fan of lipsticks really but I wanted to try
something different. The No. 7 High Shine Lip Gloss stood out to me as there
was a great range of colours on offer. This product costs £8.50 normally although
with my £5 off voucher, it only cost me £3.50.
The lip gloss
comes in a sleek looking bottle. It is made out of a hard plastic which means
it can withstand quite a bit bashing about in a handbag. The bottom half of the
tube is mostly clear plastic with the No. 7 logo printed on and the name of the
product. The lid is black plastic and twists off to reveal a long handle which
has the applicator at the end. The applicator is thick and comes out covered in
lip gloss.
The
applicator is fairly large and pointed slightly at the tips. I really like the
applicator as it has a large enough part to cover the thicker parts of your
lips but the pointed tips make it possible to use the applicator as a sort of
lip liner. With this, you are able to
outline your lips in the gloss and then fill in the middles which gives a very
even application.
This range
from No. 7 has a total of 15 shades on offer and I bought Plum Blush, which is
a mix between purple and a dark pink. This is very much like the colours of
other lipsticks I have from both No. 7 and other make-up brands so I knew I was
going to like the colour regardless. You can use this on top of lipsticks and
on its own which gives great but different effects as it can make the colour
look very different.
The No. 7
High Shine Lip Gloss claims to be collagen boosting, meaning it gives you
thicker and fuller looking lips. I am quite happy to say that yes, it does do
this. My lips are quite thin and after using this, they did look a lot fuller.
This also claims to be moisturising but I haven’t felt the effect of this claim
too much.
While this
lip gloss looks great on, it doesn’t last very long. Unlike a lipstick, this
doesn’t last through eating, drinking, smoking etc. It only took an hour or so
for every bit of lip gloss to wear off on my lips and I don’t like having to
reapply so often. If this product had lasted longer on my lips, I would have
liked it a lot more. I will probably only use this when I know I only need it
on for a short amount of time.
