Whenever I stop into my local Rite Aide I am always drawn to the makeup
selections they have available, and around 2 months ago I became a fan
of Jesse's Girl Liquid Crystal Glosses, so it was no wonder that I would
find myself, once again, seeking out whatever else this cosmetic
company had to offer.
Immediately I was drawn to their Liquid Glass Lip Glosses, and fell in
love with the color Blanc, which when swiped on my hand appeared to
deliver just that. A shimmering world of crystal ice, and frankly I
figured it would look wonderful on top of my lip color.
$3.99 later, I walked out happily with my new find. I hoped it worked
well, and that it lasted. The problem I had with their Liquid Crystal
line was that it did not last long, and I hoped their standard gloss, or
glass glosses would last longer.
My Use:
I first wanted to test Blanc out alone on dry lips to see how it did as far as adding moisture, shimmer, and color.
When used also Liquid Glass looked really shiny and pretty, but the
texture of this lip gloss was something else. It had a weird texture
that was both drying and cooling at the same time, with a silky like
feel that I didn't really like.
Besides the uncomfortable silk like texture, the gloss did not last
long on my lips when worn alone. I can't lie, I was disappointed.
I next tried Blanc on top of my standard pink lipstick to see if it would maybe work better.
Unfortunately the results were the same. It added a nice shimmer to my
lips, but the odd silk texture just about stripped the pink color from
my lips, leaving nothing behind.
Overall:
This was probably one of the first products in Jesse's Girl cosmetics
that I was not too thrilled about. I hated the texture, and despised the
fact that it would strip my lip color away leaving nothing behind just
moments later. Now it would work, if I did not move my lips or talk at
all, but who the heck is going to to such lengths just to get their
gloss to stay put?
I would sadly suggest skipping on this one. So close! I hope they
re-do this one and make the formula longer lasting and without this odd
silky texture it leaves behind.
