Beauty Product Reviews

Your lips DESERVE this investment

I never write product/service reviews, no matter how great my experience was. NEVER. Until today.

Oh - and I need to tell you - I HATE lip products. Lipstick, lip gloss, even lip balm...because I can feel them on, and they leave my lips in worse shape than before I put on the lip product (or a few hours later they feel worse). Until today.

"Anti-aging, firming, and volumizing" caught my eye in the product description. I had never really heard of a lipstick or lipgloss that could fight the signs of aging...and since I am rapidly approaching the midcentury point in life, I am willing to spend money on quality products that will slow or reverse those aging signs.

The price tag turned me off initially, but I was intrigued enough to make the spurge one time purchase and try this out.

It arrived only a few days after I ordered it. The product looked exactly like in the photos here - iridescent plum/berry with orange-red undertones.

The first application: lightweight, but highly pigmented. Not sticky at all, not heavy, and beautifully scented. I could feel it on my lips of course, but so far, so good.

After about an hour, I noticed that the gloss started to "sink in" my lips. It was not dry, but I could not really feel it on anymore, even though in the mirror I could still see it. That made me happy.

After a few hours (and after drinking a few bottles of water) the glossiness had faded, and what was left behind was kind of a moisturized stain on my lips - which now felt much smoother and supple. Already I felt the anti-aging properties were working. I started to become impressed.

At the end of the day, my lips still had that faint stain, but now my lips were very smooth, plumped, and definitely younger. WOW. Only one day's use, and I feel the investment was already worth it. I can't wait to see what the texture of my lips will be like after I finish this first tube!

I will be purchasing Spicy Crush shortly.
