essence | Glimmer GLOW Lipstick | pH Color Changing Technology | Subtle & Sheer Pink | Vegan & Cruelty Free | Free From Parabens, Gluten, Oil, Preservatives & Microplastic Particles

Ordered this from Amazon yesterday and got it today. Excited for the super fast shipping and the price is perfect. Did a little swatch on my hand and as I let it sit there, it did get darker leaving it on. This bomb is supposed to go by your pH/temperature of your own body so your shade is unique. I put it on my lips and a subtle pink tint started to show. As I left it on the pink did get a little darker, but not too dark where it looked ridiculous. It was a very natural look. My lips felt hydrated and soft. I will be definitely buying this again.

I got it for myself but both me and my 10yo daughter fell in love with this lipstick from the 1st time we used it. It's not super glossy or sticky and despite being sparkly, it doesn't coat your lips in glitter. It goes on smooth and leaves your lips with a nice pink hue that would match any skin tone. As others have said, it does dry your lips out a bit after it wears off and seems to show up darker with each subsequent application. This wasn't an issue for me but something to be aware of if you're getting it for a child. I plan on ordering another for her Xmas stocking soon.

I purchased this because it was reviewed in one of those click-bait “buy these things I like” FB posts. What I look for in a lip stick is sheer color (no heavy matte for me), moisture and a bit of a glossy finish. I also want a product that doesn’t feel drying or “heavy” on my lips, or anything with that sticky, globby feel that some glosses leave behind. This product does deliver on the adapts-to-you color. The color does last, and the color has a natural look that is flattering. I’d describe it as more of a lip stain than a lipstick or lip gloss. What it doesn’t do is provide that glossy look or feel, nor does it feel moisturizing. In fact, my lips feel dry to the point that I have the need to apply a clear gloss over the product. So, I won’t purchase this product again, unless the manufacturer reformulates to deliver moisture and a glossy, sheer finish.

I wanted to a cheaper pH changing lip product so I decided to try this despite the reviews saying it tastes funny, and I'd say it's alright for the price.It takes a while to turn a color but when it does it is a more vibrant brightee pink. For the first bit it starts as a clear sparkle then turns pinker.It does taste really weird at first, but as it turns to a color the taste goes away and doesn't linger at all. The sparkle stays which is nice. There is no odor so that's good.It spreads on like a harder lipstick or chapstick, so it takes a couple layers to thoroughly apply it. Nothing too crazy. It also seems to stay on alright.So as long as you're not bothered by weird makeup taste it's fairly decent quality for the cheap price.

I found this on some beauty list and thought "no way would this work," but for $4 I can test it out. It really just looks like a clear lipgloss with a ton of glitter, so I thought I'd be revisiting my middle school days of crazy, super glittery make up. Nope!What I got instead was a super flattering natural pink lip with a nice shimmer. How does this work?? It lasted for a good number of hours, even while drinking coffee or water from a glass. It wiped away fairly easily at lunch, but for $4 I can afford to buy a few and leave them around in easy to grab places. Will be ordering more!

If you have taste buds or ever lick your lips, AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS. It has a nice berry smell, but OMG the chemical taste is absolutely disgusting. I mean it's not like you're going to eat the stuff, but the taste is so revolting than any incidental lick of it will stay in your mouth until you do something to get rid of it. Pretty color and sparkle, but seriously, not worth the tradeoff.

Tastes absolutely AWFUL even one swipe on my lips makes me cringe a little. However the color is nice.

I’m picky about lipstick, but this is a good product. It is moisturizing and long lasting. I reach for this over my more expensive lipsticks and will probably reorder.
