Marvelous Moxie?

bareMinerals - 

Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss


I received this I'm the post recently and I wasn't that excited to try it. It's not that the brand isn't amazing, I have heard so many things about how good bareMinerals are. It was just the colour, which is the limited edition Oh So Cosmo, wasn't something I would have normally chosen myself. This is mainly because my first thoughts were; well in the tube it lols very milky pink, and in some lights it could look lilac, and I don't think that a colour which suits me...never the less I thought I would give it a try.

bareMineral states...'Embark on a total thrill glide with Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss. Luscious, vibrant color loaded into a refreshing formula that slips on satiny-smooth for sheer-to-medium coverage with nonstop glistening shine. Lips look fuller and more voluptuous. Naturally-derived Shea, Avocado and Murumuru butters help to deeply hydrate and smooth lips while an infusion of minerals revitalizes lips for a healthy-looking pout. All the while, an encapsulated vitamin A, C and E complex helps to deliver antioxidant defense, so you're ready for anything—and everything.'

Now, firstly...when on, the colours beginning to grow on me. It's not something I would choose for myself, but I  think as a day time gloss it's a nice colour. Onto the formula...what can I say, it's really good. It's very thick, so if you don't like a thick lipgloss, then this may not be your type of lipgloss. Never the less, it isn't sticky. The website highlights the coverage is sheer to medium, this is dead on! One layer leaves a pretty hint of colour and fantastic shine, however if you layer it, allowing each layer to set slightly, then the shade becomes more dramatic and the colour is much more noticeable. 
The shine on these glosses are Incredible, it lasts such a long time on the lips, which is something I find is a downside of lip glosses. I could imagine putting this on in the morning and not having to top up really until dinner, and all that would happen would be a little dullness to the shine, never the less the colour would stay put. 
Something I really like about this lipgloss is how moisturised my lips felt both wearing the gloss, and when I removed it at night. Sometimes I find some lipglosses tend to dry out my lips, however this gloss has amazing ingrediance such as....which really benefit your lips, leaving them feeling really moisturised and soft. Added bonus!

The packaging is really simple and pretty. What I like most is that the colour of the gloss in the tube, is actually the colour on your lips if you where to build up the coverage. This means that you can see just from the tube, what the gloss colour is going to be like. Bonus. In regards to the applicator, something which can usually be the downfall of a really amazing lipgloss, well bareMinerals have used a very clever, angled doe foot applicator. It so simple to use, and applies just enough gloss, layering beautifully. The thing I have noticed it that the applicator almost fits my lips perfectly, therefore in a sense it allows the gloss to contour my lips, and define them stunningly.

One thing some people may not like about this gloss is the smell. It does say on the box that it has a minty smell, however for some it could be very overpowering. I don't find it lasts on the lips at all, but some people may be put off by this, therefore I thought it was only fair I mentioned it. Another thing is that, as with most lip products which smell like mint, this has a tingly feeling to it when you put it on your lips. I don't really see a difference in the size of my lips, it nothing as extreme as my incredible Dior Lip Maximiser. Just on the safe side,  if you have slightly sensitive lips, I would ask to try before you buy, just in case it causes you irritation.

Overall, I really like the formal of this lipgloss, and the shade is really beginning to grow on me. I would definitely go to your closest bareMinerals counter and try these out, there really good, and the new colour range is also really fantastic.
