So you think NARS is the only brand that has the guts to name their products in a scandalous way? Nope, there is another brand that does just the same and that is Soap & Glory. They have a moisturizer (if I am not mistaken) called Glow Job. If you have speech defect of some sort or easily get confused with words, you might say it the wrong way, and hopefully not with a man around. Anyway, I only have a lip product and that is the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shaping Crayon in Baby Lips Blush. I've only had it for a few days but I think that's enough time to review a lip product that isn't meant to do some sort of treatment on your lips.
What I like:
- A very pretty medium pink shade with a hint of mauve/rose that is glossy.
- Intensity of the color can be built up. You can dot the lippy on your lips and spread it using your pinkie for a more subtle shade of pink or apply it as is for a more intense pink lips.
- It feels mentholated as there is a "stinging" sensation, which I think is how the plumping effect works.
- Staying power is good and lasts for 3-4 hours even after eating or drinking. And leaves a nice pink tint on the lips too.
- Inexpensive at Php 275 on eBay.ph
What I don't like:
- The scent really bothers me. It smells like a newly sharpened pencil (or a wet piece of wood, if I may add) and old crayons. I had to sharpen it to lessen the scent and had to top it off with a better smelling lip balm so the scent will no longer trigger my allergic rhinitis and migraine. The first time I tried it, I had migraine, I swear.
- It tastes awful! Another reason why I have to apply another lippy on top of it.
- Dried out my lips even though I applied a lip balm underneath.
- Unfortunately, it did no plumping effect. Though I wasn't expecting it to perform a miracle.
Overall rating: 2.5/5 This isn't for those who have sensitive noses and those who have the tendency to lick their lips on a regular basis or eat their lipsticks.
Will I buy again? For the love of my nose, NO. In as much as I find the shade pretty, I'll spare myself from migraines and rhinitis attacks. I'm better off with Palladio Herbal Lip Slix.
Swatch

ReplyDeleteSugar, I know. It's just more than what my nose can take. I'm doing my best naman to make it work. Haha! :P
ReplyDeleteToo bad! The shade is so nice eh :/ But super turn off sa lippies with unpleasant scents!
ReplyDeleteAya, so true. How I wish it does not smell and taste awful.
ReplyDeleteSayang naman sis pam, Im planning to buy pa naman since I read sis jap's post regarding this one. Pero, I'm buying padin, since I'm tough with scents, ma-keribells ko yan. The shade is sooo pretty btw.
ReplyDeleteMaria, if your nose isn't as sensitive as mine, I'm sure that the scent won't bother you at all. It's a really pretty shade pa naman. :)
ReplyDeletethe shade looks nice! I saw this from Sephora in Singapore, I was actually tempted to buy it.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! Will take note of that!:)
ReplyDeleteCatmare, if you're cool with scented lippies, I'm sure you'll love it for its color. :P
ReplyDeleteTiffie, thank you. :P

ReplyDeleteFash, yeah, such a shame. It would've been back up worthy if only the scent and taste isn't awful.

G, I truly wish it smells and tastes better. Otherwise, it would've been a really nice lippy. Oh no, oranges scare me. I don't think I can rock orange shades. :P
ReplyDeletePeach Crush, this is the only second lip plumper that I've tried and not one of them worked. :P
Wow, the shade really is lovely. :) By the way, where can you get Soap & Glory products here? :)
ReplyDeleteNika, Soap & Glory products aren't available here but there are some who are now holding pre-orders. I only scored this one on eBay.ph (I think the seller still has some stocks left). Or if you know someone from the UK or Singapore, they can get you S&G products. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks Pammy! :)
ReplyDeletesorry it didn't work out but it is a pretty colour!
