*Swatches Without Flash*

First, I would like to say WELCOME to my new & improved blog, Iv had this account for quite a while but I have never used it to the best of my abilities. So I decided to start fresh!! :) A while back I posted a picture of this lipgloss set by: Lorac on my Instagram. I received an overwhelming amount of questions between Instagram & Twitter so I just decided to do a full on review for my first post. I haven't had this set for too long, but at this point I have used all of the colors so I feel like I can give you a pretty good review from my standpoint.

Probably the first thing you will notice is these are all full size! YAY! I bought all of these glosses for $25.00 (USD) + Tax. I thought that was a crazy awesome deal considering the glosses in Lorac's regular collection go for around $18.00-$22.00 a piece! So to get 6 glosses for what I paid, was a no brainer in my opinion! 
*Purchased at Ulta*

Next thing you probably have noticed from the pictures, these glosses appear to be SUPER glittery. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like these for that reason alone. I own a few other glosses from Lorac. But none this glittery. When I applied this for the first time I expected it to be a glitter bomb on my lips!! I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't look anything like I expected it to! (With the exception of one color - "Frosted Gumdrop" which is the hot pink.) They apply very smooth and in my opinion feel very nice on the lips. One of the biggest complaints I have heard about this set is that to some people, the glitter feels gritty on the lips. I will agree, if you wear it alone you can definitely feel the glitter. However, to me this is no where near a deal breaker. BUT - this is coming from someone who will wear even this stickiest of glosses & still love it. With this complaint, it is all going to come down to personal preference, but I barely notice this at all. Especially if your wearing the gloss over a lipstick or lip balm as a base.

If I had one complaint it would be this. The brush. It's not a dough foot applicator, nor is it a full on lip brush. It is a very short "stumpy" lip brush. It is a little too stiff for my liking. I feel like if it was like a normal lipgloss brush applicator, this set would be perfect. Sometimes the gloss can initially apply a bit streaky because the brush is so small.

The final thing I wanted to mention, which I thought was a super clever idea. Each gloss smells like the name of the color!! I thought this was a super cute touch that really brought the whole set together.
(All the names of the colors are listed under the swatch pictures!)
