Ever since I heard of Lumiere, I’ve always wanted to try their lip gloss. Thanks to their Christmas 25% off sales, I finally had the opportunity to try them out.
On their site:
“Are you tired of wearing lip color that feels sticky or heavy or dries out your lips? Are you disappointed with lipstick that doesn’t hold up its promise of effectively preventing your lips from chapping? Then our Lumi Lips lip color is just what you need!
Our Lumi Lips lip colors contain jojoba oil, which is very similar to the oils your skin produces naturally. The jojoba oil works as a protective film, locking in moisture and helping to prevent chapped lips. We have 28 Brilliant Lumi Lips lip colors that are silky, long wearing, and never sticky.”
Moisturizing and NOT STICKY? That’s what I’ve been looking for!
Colors I chose:
Violaceous
Jamocha
Mochacinno
Spice
English Rose
Tahitian Coral
Berry Fizz
Moonstone
In the Nude
Cranberry Zest
When I got them in the mail yesterday, my initial thought was, “wow, they must be tiny to be stuff into this small bubble envelope!”
And I was right!
Left to right: Mini Lumi in Spice, Benetint Sample, MAC Little Darling, Full sized Smashbox
Isn’t it cute? I think not only it’s a great sample size, but it’s great for me too, because I’m always too lazy to put on lip color, that any full size lip gloss for me will be a waste. This mini size is good starter size for me.
I tried it last night, and I love it. It glides on smoothly, and like they said, NOT STICKY at all. Feels good and moisturizing. As for staying power, one would have thought non-sticky lip gloss won’t last long. I tested it this morning by drinking a glass of water, and then had a bowl of oatmeal. I checked, the color faded a bit but I could still see the color. So staying power is pretty good as well in my opinion.
One thing about the applicator. Since it is so cold in Toronto, the content got thick sitting in my mailbox. When I pull the applicator out, some of them got stuck inside.
So my advice is, wait for a bit til the content warmed up first, and then pull the applicator. For this one, I guess I will use a toothpick
use a lipbrush i gueess?
i gotta get me some of that!
Haha! The tube is probably too small for a lip brush! I can use up one, and then use that applicator
It got thick in the mailbox? Not FROZEN SOLID in your artic winter?
Heh! True! It could be worse, frozen like a popsicle XD
lol I have 3 of them (Jamocha, Tahitian Coral & Ooh La La), and they’re so tiny!!! hahaha they look like bullets.
You’re right! Like bullets
I love Jamocha. Well I like all colors! XD
