Catrice Lip Appeal Moisture & Shine Smoothing Lip Gloss

Catrice Lip Appeal Moisture & Shine Smoothing Lip Gloss, R49.99

What they say: Ultimate shine and volume: your lips are sure to become eye-catchers. It has a subtle vanilla scent, a moisturizing formula and now comes with a new applicator for an even more gentle, smooth application.

What we say: I’ve been using the rather bizarrely called Juir Is GAGArin!?! Your guess is as good as mine! The colour is a soft, iridescent pinky nude.

I never used the previous applicator, but I really do like this one as it deposits just the right amount of product, and glides it on smoothly.

The formula is light and non-sticky. It lasted quite well too – I’m not talking hours, but a fair amount of time for a gloss. It did feel like it nourished rather than dried-out my lips too.

Now you know how fussy I am with lipgloss, and I can announce that this one will have a home in my gloss drawers.
