I was expecting a high shine gloss, I was not expecting the amount of glitter/shimmer going on in this gloss but I love it! I would say use sparingly because a little goes a long way and if you put too much it ends up looking more like a metallic than a shimmery gloss. I think a light layer would be beautiful over a matte lipstick.

This is the Artist Couture diamond lip tease and they were $18, marked down for $12.60 at Sephora. I’m not surprised these were marked down, I found them to have a tacky sensation I don’t love. The color is semi-sheer with lots of sparkle mixed in. Nothing like the advertisements though. It is pretty when you catch it in the light, but nothing impressive on its own. Definitely more of a topper to add some glow. The applicator is not impressive, at a certain point it gets difficult to pull out product.
