Warning: This post’s tone holds that special kind of giddiness that I reserve only for brands and launches that really, truly excite me. Get ready for some beauty gushing, people.
As soon as I got word that my beloved Make Up For Ever has launched a brand new line of lipglosses, you know that I got myself into that Union Square boutique as fast as my short (but powerful) legs could carry me. Swatch arm at the ready, I dove in to play with the new lineup of glossy glory.
A brand new addition, the full lineup of 35 lipglosses is divided into three different finishes, each one more dazzling then the next. Diamond, Metal, and Star Collection are their names; sparkle, intensity, and high shine are their game. The glosses glide on full and lush, thanks to a brush on applicator that deposits the color both smoothly and evenly. Wear is a dream, thanks to the fact that the texture is neither too watery nor too tacky. Licking my lips doesn’t bring the blech factor, as these glosses pack a delicious scent and fruity flavor.
Metal Shine provides a punch of pearly, shimmering color. The finish is somewhat jelly-like, and high on the opacity factor. Depending on how the light hits it, the color morphs just so.
The Shades

Swatched, Left to Right, Top to Bottom, in order
Diamond Shine is what you get when you mix microglitter and a high-shine gloss. There are 12 shades in all, and each packs a kiss of color and a wallop of ultrafine glitter. Think MAC dazzleglass, but way less sticky.

Star glosses are my favorite finish of the bunch, rounding out the family with their jelly-like shine, intense color payoff, and overall awesomeness.

I love the swatches and I think youre right the star glosses look amazing! However look at the quantity of the product its sorta like dazzleglass where youre getting cheated out of half the product but I dont care if it’s worth it!
Wendy, the glosses in the store had been out a while, so I think they have just been swatched often- possibly contributing to the empty look.
Definitely give one of the glosses a try when it becomes available to you. I am almost positive you will love it!
I actually meant that in total weight there is half the product that say the super lipgloss or the fascinating lipgloss.
None the less I will give these a try youre swatches are great and I’m dying for the D14, especially for summer.
