As I mentioned in the eye shadow post, I was also able to pick up three lip glosses with my Heartsy voucher for SweetPea & Fay. SweetPea & Fay divides their glosses into two categories - ultra pigmented and sheer. The three I chose, Sailors Delight, Congo Kick, and Miss Lady, were all sold as ultra pigmented. And they definitely are. They're also thick and creamy and might be better described as liquid lipsticks, since they're so pigmented and they don't really give any noticeable shine or gloss to my lips. Don't get me wrong, I really do like them, I'm just not sure gloss is the best category for these!
Congo Kick - is a really unique shade of lipgloss. It has a mod like feel to it, like it`s straight out of the 1960s. It`s a really soft peach color that shines when applied. I'm not sure I get a mod feel from this, but it's a beautiful peach colour! Probably my favourite of the three.
Sailors Delight - Pinup girl inspired, super pigmented hot pink lipgloss. Not a super hot pink, but it is a nice, wearable bright pink. Leans a little towards coral on me. Texture-wise, this one is a bit thicker than the other two.
Miss Lady - is a stunning orangey peach lipgloss. It has hints of sparkle which makes it slightly metallic looking. I don't see a whole lot of orange or peach in this one. On me, it's more of a slightly peachy, brownish nude. That said, I feel like I constantly struggle to find nudes I like on me, and this one is both pretty and wearable.

The Bottom Line
I'm quite happy with these glosses. They're nicely pigmented and they feel smooth and creamy and leave my lips nicely moisturized. For $5, you get a generous 8mL of gloss, so they're also great value. And with SweetPea & Fay's return policy, you really can't go wrong - if you are not happy with a product, you can simply return it for a refund or exchange. Overall, I'm really pleased with these and I'd be likely to repurchase. I just wish they had more colours to choose from!
And lest you think I forgot -
I hope everyone's having a spooktacular day!
And lest you think I forgot -
I would love to try the pinkishy Sailors Delight!

These look really nice, but I agree with you that they seem more like a liquid lipstick than a gloss.
ReplyDeleteHey! I just wanted to say thankyou for following me (I would have send a private message but it's being dodgy at the moment).
ReplyDeleteAlso these look so pretty, I'm already sold. :P The texture reminds me of that of NYX's matte lip creams except well, not matte. Also the PACKAGING oh my god that is amazing, it's the first thing that caught my eye when I was checking out your blog.
:D Also you've got yourself a new follower, you're pretty awesome.
These look great! I actually ordered Miss Lady (soley cuz of the name and I loved the Step Brothers movie) and sailors delight.
