Quick take: Does as promised on the packaging. Not the cheapest but it makes up for it in quality. Not a fan of lipglosses that smell like food. B+

Fortune looks gorgeous in the tube. It applies as a warm metallic golden pink.
Side note: man it's so weird looking at my lips up close and personal! I was going to post a full face picture but I had a pretty bad allergic reaction to an SPF lotion I was testing out. Boo to octinoxate!

No lippie= SCARY!
What I liked:
*It felt very smooth on my lips with no tackiness.
*Thin but opaque application.
*Super shiny and gorgeous color!
*Did not settle into lines.
*Moisturizing on the lips.
*It wears about 4 hours before I feel I need to reapply it.
No likey:
*The price, but any good gloss is going to set you back (hello Chanel!)
*Smells like cake frosting. I don't like glosses that smell like food, however many people do. The smell faded after a little while.
Available May 2010 at Sephora and Barneys New York ($28)

Also... when I saw LOTD, I thought "Lord of the Dance?"
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I like that color! So by no tackiness, do you mean no hair sticky factor? That's a problem for me with glosses! :-P
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty shade! Though i probably won't be able to pull it off. sadly, my lips are just way too pigmented so i will skp this shade.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I really want to try it now :)
ReplyDeleteDanielle- yes, non sticky! Lol Lord of the dance.
ReplyDeleteShirley, I think this color actually would look better on someone with more pigmented lips than me. Check out this lippie on Karen over at Make Up and Beauty Blog (Karenmbb on twitter)
