Now tell me, which girl doesn't love glitter?
We all love a bit or a lot (if you're like me) of glitter in our lives and this is the perfect product for just that!
Glitter Lips by Beauty Boulevard was founded by Rachel and Paula. They have an exclusive online shopping outlet and they are the first to bring you the fabulous Glitter Lips range of
products. This is a brand new, innovative product that will revolutionise lip
colour like no other. It has an unbelievable staying power as one
application can last up to 8 hours, yes you read that right! you will be amazed by its
colour, shine and durability throughout the day/night. The entire range is
waterproof and smudge proof. It lasts through an entire 3
course meal without needing to re-apply. You can drink, eat and party without losing any of your sparkle. What's more annoying than having to re-apply your lipstick after having a drink/eating etc!
Glitter Lips are avaliable in 10 different shades: Ruby Slippers, Diamond In The Buff, Coral Reef, Molly Dolly, Cherry Pie, Sparkling Rose, Ultra Glam, Dark Disorder, Disco Kiss Go, Midas Kiss. These are such lovely shades! I wish i could have them all.
I was recently sent a Glitter Lips product in my shade of choice to review. I chose the Ruby Slippers shades. This is gorgeous and every girl loves a red lip! It reminds of of Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz.
The Glitter Lips product contains
x1 - Gloss Bond
x1 - Applicator
x1 - Pot of glitter of your shade of choice
How to apply
- Start by applying a thin coat of the gloss bond to clean, dry lips. It does help by doing it one lip at a time! Keep lips parted and allow the gloss bond to turn from white to clear.
- Slightly dampen the pad end of the applicator with water as his helps to pick up the glitter and reduce waste. Then dab the glitter over your lips ensuring a good, even coat. Check for any sticky patches and apply more glitter to those areas that should require it.
- Using the brush end of the applicator dust off the excess glitter.
Removal Techniques
To remove glitter lips, they recommend using an oil based make-up remover.
Then soak a cotton pad in the remover and press on to the lips and hold for 20-30 seconds, this allows the oil/remover to penetrate the glitter and gloss bond, then gently rub in a circular motion for easy removal.
Afterwards moisturise the lips well.
I was so excited when this arrived in the post!
Just look how shiny and glittery it is! Ahh i love it!
The colour is amazing and you can see how bold and bright the red is and it is super sparkly. I found the application of this product easy although i feel i could do with a bit more practice to get more precise around the lip line. I'm not going to lie the application can be a little messy so i used some kitchen roll to help me with trying not to get glitter everywhere. It also does feel a little bit strange at first having the glitter on your lips as you can feel it.
I also feel that it would look nice and would help with coverage by using a red lipstick underneath before applying the gloss bond, but the lipstick or lip liner needs to be matt! As oil/moisture helps to remove it therefore it wouldn't last as long.
But don't worry if you are not a fan of the red lip don't let this put you off, as i mentioned earlier they are 9 other shades to choose from which may suit you better.
Now did it stay put?
The answer is yes! I can't believe how incredible the staying power is. It didn't budge until it came to removing the product. After eating and drinking it still lasted all day for me and it just looked as good as when i first applied it.
I was abit worried when it came to removing the product incase it wouldn't budge but i was able to remove the product quite easily. I followed the removal techniques and the remover that i found worked was the L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution. I did have to use about 4-5 cotton pads but it came off easily and i didn't have to do much scrubbing. I would say my lips felt a little dry aftwards but i just used my aloe vera lip balm and they felt good as new!
Glitter Lips is ideal for any occasion or event where you want to feel glamourous and add a bit of sparkle to the night. It would look great at Christmas time or New Year!
Glitter Lips retails for £12.50 and you can purchase them here from the Beauty Boulevard website.
Go ahead try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!
