In this month's Birchbox I was very lucky to get a full size product from POP
Beauty.
I have now added the POP Beauty Aqua Lacquer in the color
Flowering Fuchsia to my collection of lip glosses. I am happy to have a
chance to try this brand & product, I see it when I walk into Ulta
and I want to buy something from them every time I'm in there. The colors are fun
and it seems like a neat brand.
The size of the product is great, and the color is sheer, so
don't let the word Fuchsia throw you off too much. It is really the perfect glossy shade for me, not too much color but not clear.
As excited as I was to try the Aqua Lacquer...it is something that I actually was very
underwhelmed by.
There were a few things that I found I did not like,
the first being right on the Birchbox product page it says, "Sticky lip gloss is high up on our list of
beauty pet peeves, right next to cakey concealer and smudgy mascara. One
gust of wind, and your hair is stuck all over your lips",
this is seriously some of the stickiest lip gloss that has ever graced
these lips.
I tried it out a few times and I could not keep it on for
more than an hour without driving myself insane. The next issue I had was with the
applicator, it is not your typical flocked wand this is a paddle. A very
flexible, almost to the point that when the lip gloss was too sticky to
apply I thought it was going to break off. Now I like different things,
but for the thickness that the product is I don't think that this was
the right applicator for it.
For a full size this product is 0.34 fl oz for $14.00
Will I buy this product? No. Will this keep
me away from trying other POP Beauty products? No, there are so many
other things they make that I would love to try. Nail polish and lip
stains are on my list.
One down, and five more to go! ^_~
