Review: Covergirl Colorlicious Lipgloss in Melted Toffee!

New From Covergirl!

These Covergirl Colorlicious Lipglosses have been out for a little while now and I was debating if I should give them a try. I heard some mixed reviews on these which kinda made me hesitant to purchase. But you know me, I love to try things out for myself because what may not work for someone might be life changing for me haha. I found this color called Melted Toffee that spoke to me so I immediately purchased it at my local Rite Aid! At the time they were on sale for $5.99 but normally they retail for about $7.99. The packing is really simple which I enjoy. It has a sponge tip applicator for easy application.

These have a very delicious vanilla scent that makes me want a cupcake! haha. The scent doesn't linger so no worries if scents tend to bother you. The color range was great, lots of bright colors but for some reason I was attracted to this nude beige color. Once I tried it on I knew that it was completely different than the recent glosses that have hit the market like the Maybelline Elixirs for instance. These are super lightweight on the lips and are non sticky. This means that they are not long wearing at all, I had to reapply about every 2 hours just to maintain the high shine. The color itself is beautiful though! This nude is perfect to wear over lipsticks that you want to slightly tone down.

This is what it looks like by itself. It does leave your lips looking really glossy without leaving a tacky feeling behind. I don't find the gloss to be super moisturizing by any means but nor does it dry out my lips.

 

Bottom line: I wasn't too impressed with the formula but the color I really liked! These don't last at all and the color payoff is really sheer. So really... it doesn't do much as a stand alone gloss. This nude color works great as a topper; with that said I wouldn't repurchase anymore. For the price I rather stick with my Maybelline Color Elixirs that are an A+! :-)
