The Maybelline New York Lip Lifter Gloss Is Honestly My Favorite Gloss Ever
June 30, 2020
My Review of the Maybelline New York Lip Lifter Gloss
The first thing I noticed was the chic packaging. It looks so luxe that you would never believe it costs just $8.99. That said, I’m definitely not complaining! I chose the shade Amber, an orange-y peach that’s perfect for summer.
I like that the gloss has a pretty large doe-foot applicator. As soon as I glided the wand across my lips, I noticed how hydrating the formula was. The gloss is formulated with hyaluronic acid, so I wasn’t shocked at how moisturizing and soothing it felt. My tight and dry lips felt instantly at ease. As I rubbed my lips together, I was pleasantly surprised by the consistency. I’m not a fan of clumpy, sticky glosses and the Lip Lifter Gloss felt silky and nourishing. After a few seconds, I noticed a bit of tingling too. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but I definitely knew the plumping action was at work. So far, so good.
Next up was the mirror test. Would my lips look plumped? And, would the color really show up? As soon as I turned my head and faced the mirror, I was instantly sold. The gloss made my pout look supple, shiny and noticeably fuller and plumped. Plus, the peachy shade is amazing. It’s not a sheer, colorless glaze; it actually has a legitimate color payoff. I’m officially obsessed. This gloss checked off all my must-have boxes and I’ve been reaching for it on repeat all summer long.
