Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lip Gloss - Crush: Review

Hello Readers!

If you  have read my last couple of posts, you will know that I have been to Paris! This is my last beauty review from the things which I have bought whilst I was over there!






I picked up this Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Sephora, in the shade Crush. It is a girly pink, slightly edging towards a more hot pink colour, but it doesn't look too vibrant on the lips. The last photo, with the swatch, is the exact colour, as the lighting makes the others look a tad brighter than it is!

Urban Decay say it is a "Cooling Lip Gloss" and it contains an ingredient called 'Maxi-Lip' which is a non-irritant plumping ingredient. I had done a bit of research on Maxi-Lip, and it claims that if you use it everyday for a whole month, your lips plump to an average of 40%!

It is very creamy and not sticky at all. I hate lip glosses when they are sticky! I love the packaging! The tube is a squeezy plastic tube, and the screw on lid is a gorgeous patterned metal lid! The lid was one of the main things which attracted me to this product if I'm going to be honest! The colour obviously being the first though!

I bought this for €18, but you can buy this from Debenhams here for £13! I think it is totally worth it!

My Rating 4/5

Thanks for Reading!

Lots of Love

Sephora Fresh Glossy Gloss Review

Hello Readers!

If you read my last post, you will know that I have been to Paris. Before I went, I knew I must take a trip into Sephora, because as far as I know, there aren't any here in the UK!

It is such an amazing shop! All make-up lovers would be in make-up heaven! It is faaaab! Here are a few photographs of inside Sephora! *Swoon*



Doesn't it look amazing?!

Anyway onto the review!

A lot of people steer away from blue lipgloss. So did I, until I tried this out! It doesn't come out vibrant blue, and people won't be able to tell that you have blue lipgloss on! The blue in it helps your teeth look  whiter. This is why blue toned pink lipsticks (such as Lovelorn by Mac) are a big hit! 

It is not sticky, which is a bonus! Sephora had so many colours to choose from, but as far as I am aware, this one is the only 'fresh breath sensation' gloss. It is mint flavored, and once you have had it on your lips for at least 3 seconds, it starts to tingle your lips! Its nothing too uncomfortable, I'm not sure if it claims to plump your lips.. if it is, it doesn't work on me!



Overall, it is a nice product, but not one that when it runs out, I will feel the need to panic and pay excessive postage fees for another! I'm sure you could find similar products in Boots or Superdrug!

You get 15ml of product for €8.50, which is around £6.90.

My Rating: 3/5
