I've seen a lot of mentions of Make Up For Ever Glossy Full Couleur in the makeup and fashion mags of late. Of course, you know that means I had to give it a try!
So, what do I think of it?
Well, I like it, but I don't love it. When reading the name "Glossy Full Couleur", I get the impression that the gloss will offer shiny, but opaque coverage, sort of on the line of a liquid lipstick. Well, that isn't the case at all. Though Glossy Full Couleur does come in very vibrant, saturated-looking shades, once applied to the lips, the color is quite sheer. It gives what I call the "popsicle effect" - your lips are lightly stained, like they are after eating a popsicle - and great shine.
So, yeah, the name seems like a bit of false advertising to me, but like I said, the shine level is great and there's no stickiness whatsoever, which I love. However, if you're a person who's sensitive to scents, this might not be for you - the formula is mentholated, so it has quite a medicinal smell, akin to Blistex or something like that. Also, the mentholated formula feels cool and tingly on the lips.
Still, if you don't mind the smell and you're looking for a pretty, but sheer gloss in shades that are "of the moment", this could be a good choice for you.
Exactly my thoughts as well...here's my review of it:
