All Eyes On Her

As promised, here come more 100% Pure cosmetics reviews… this time, the Fruit Pigmented Lip Gloss (in Sheer Pomegranate Wine and Pink Caramel). I already talked some about these glosses here, but I figured a few more details can’t hurt.

The QVC site had a lot of reviews saying these glosses had hardly any pigment to them, so I first ordered one of the darkest colors based on that. I’m glad I did — the Sheer Pomegranate Wine color was very sheer indeed, and only gave me a slight boost to my natural lip color.

Fortunately, that’s exactly what I was going for! I then ordered the Pink Caramel, which is a bit lighter and has a touch of shimmer to it. Thankfully, the shimmer doesn’t feel grainy like mineral-pigmented lip glosses sometimes can, and sometimes it seems opaque-ish and sometimes it seems invisible. Hard to say.

The consistency is, well, pretty much like any other lip gloss. I like that it’s not too sticky and that it doesn’t have any grainy feel to it (which I find usually comes from shimmer particles — so who knows how the super-duper-shimmery shades feel). It’s moisturizing and, well, glossy!

Like most natural lip glosses, it doesn’t exactly have vavoom staying power, but it’s certainly no worse than other glosses, and I like the formulation better. (I find it’s hard to find nice, natural glosses that don’t contain shimmer — since so many “natural” companies are “mineral” companies, they use shimmery minerals that just annoy me for lip wear.)

These aren’t any real miracle, but I do like them quite a bit. And since I tend to accidentally ingest an awful lot of lip product when I wear it, I like that these are quite natural and non-skeevy ingredient-wise.

I’ll probably try some of the Silk Naturals glosses that Kris recommended, when I want a more pigmented look… but for now I’m happy with these two tubes in my purse!
