Hello dollies!
Almost 2 months ago, I recieved this super cute box with a lipsgloss collection as a part of my Teachers Day gifts. The brand is Academy of Colour and as far as I know is from a company called Amelia Knight Cosmetics. I first knew about this brand because of the Nail polish set I bought eralier this year.
To be honest, I think the brand has some very cute looking packaging but I wouldn't say their products have the best quality. (not saying they are bad tho) I just wish they were a lot more long lasting, pigmented, etc.
Anyway, let's get into the lipgloss set!
First of all, the packaging is beautiful! It has all these pastel colors combined with a hint of rose gold. Once you open it you can see the 5 different glosses throught a transparent lid with some flowers at the bottom. So girly!
The colors come from a dark-ish red to a very soft, glossy pink with little chunks of glitter. And just like the nail polishes I got before...they have no names...!!
The thing with them is they are not that pigmented (and maybe they are not supposed to because yeah, lipglosses) but, I was expecting them to add a nice soft color to my lips. Honestly I think the colors show a little more when I swatch them on my arm than on my lips.
I've used them alone and on top of lipsticks with a similar color
I've been liking them on top of the lipstick a lot more. They add this nice glossy look to my lips without feeling sticky or thick. They also make the lips feel more hydrated and the durability is good. Not super long lasting or anything but, good.
Oh! And they have a nice and soft sweet scent.
In general I like having it! It's always fun to try new things and of course, pretty to look at and have on display. And, they are good if you want to have a soft look with a slight hint of color or just natural glossy lips.
