Faces Glam On Lip Gloss Shade 044 Review

"Give your lips something to smile about with Glam on Lip Gloss. The combination of deep moisturizer and a yummy vanilla flavour makes  your lips silky and soft." These are the lines mentioned in the kit about this lip gloss. I am always a fan of subtle, at the same time glossy lip glosses and this is really one among them. This Faces Glam on lip gloss is the part of the newly launched Silk Luxury Makeup Range of Faces Canada Cosmetics. Luckily, I got a very wonderful shade which would perfectly suit dusky skin complexions. This is my favorite colour and hence I fell for it in the first sight. Previously, I reviewed the Glam on Eye Shadow Duo, Silken Finish Pressed Powder and Silken Peach Lipstick from this range and eagerly waited to review this lip gloss. Finally I got time, and here comes my complete review. I will be reviewing the Eyeshadow soon too, that's the only thing left from this range.

Few lines about Faces Cosmetics: FACES is a proven, successful cosmetics & skincare company established in 1974 in Canada. It enables women of all ethnic backgrounds and skin types to find the perfect match for their unique needs.  From skin care to foundations, from eye color to lipsticks.

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging
The lip gloss comes in a cute transparent tube with a silver coloured top screw lid. Because of the sturdiness, I would say it travel friendly. The pack is very handy and comes with a soft sponge applicator inside. Every application is in control because of the long applicator. Overall, I loved the packaging. No bad I find in it.

 5/5

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
I am very much impressed of it's super soft rose colour and loved using it every time on my lips. The lip gloss glides smoothly over my lips and spreads without any hardness. The shade is highly pigmented, not at all sheer and has no glitter or shimmer particles in it. Even though there is no shimmer, it is so shiny and glossy which is perfect for everyday use. The best part about this lip gloss is its fragrance. It is a kinda hot caramel mixed with vanilla smell which is so lingering and sweet. This is the best smelling lip gloss I have ever used till now. So, I am not going to cut any ratings for this part too.
5/5

How it Works
The gloss spreads so smoothly on my lips without any clumsiness. It gives a shiny finish covering the imperfections up to a limit. I would say it as a good pigmented lip gloss for mature and dark lips. It has a very sweet fragrance but no taste :P that's better because it will stay on my lips for more time. When coming to the staying power, it hardly stays for 3 hours. This is the only thing I felt little disappointed about this lip gloss. For the price, I expected a little more staying power. But, for its other qualities, this can't be taken as a major con. And the another thing is, I felt little sticky for the first few minutes. After that, the lip gloss is perfect on my lips. Overall, I loved it!

4/5

PROS

1. Glossy and shiny finish without leaking or settling into fine fines.
2. The shade. I loved it to core.
3. More than the shade, the fragrance is too adorable. 
4. Sturdy, cute and travel friendly packaging.
5. No itchy feel or irritation. Totally side effect free.
6. Moisturizes dry lips well and locks moisture up to few hours.
7. The shade is not at all overpowering, at the same time it's not sheer.
8. Covers pigmentation and uneven color well.
9. Gives an opaque coverage with two swipes.

CONS

1. Staying power of 3 hours. I expected a little more for the price.
2. May be a little sticky for some people.
3. Contains Parabens (Not a big con because every other product do so)

My Recommendation: I highly recommend this lip gloss to everyone! Almost suits every skin type. The staying power should be better though.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Will I repurchase?: Sure! Because of  the fragrance, I cant stop using it :P Yummy

REVIEW & LOTD: NYX Round Lipstick in Rose

I love reviewing products. Why? Cause I love trying out new stuff and then judging and analysing them. Don't know but I guess it's just me :P So whenever I get myself a Haul I get sooo busy reviewing the "new" products that I totally forget the "older" products that I had bought earlier and are waiting to be reviewed. One such instance is the NYX Round Lipstick in "Rose". But Kannu from cookdokoo.blogspot.com very kindly asked me to swatch this lippy for her and well then I realised that I could do a review with it as well :) So Kannu, thank you :)

The shade Rose is a very pretty and a vibrant shade of Pink almost bordering towards Fuschia. It's a fun color and looks really gorgeous when worn during the day as well as at night.

4. The shade is really vibrant and happy!

Ouches!
