Recently a lovely work colleague gave me her Kylie Gloss after using it a couple of times and deciding the shade wasn't for her.
The Gloss is in the shade Posie K which is a rose/plum shade.
The gloss comes in a standard tube with a screw lid. The applicator is a brush which is fairly easy to use, however id recommend wiping some of the excess product off the brush as quite a lot comes out.
The length of the wand is just right - its short enough that you feel you have enough control of the application as some liquid lipsticks I've used before have been hard to apply as the wand has been far to long making it hard to get that precise lip line!
Although the product is called a gloss, its very pigmented making the colour pay off very similar to a liquid lipstick.
The formula stays as a pigmented gloss on the lips. This makes eating and drinking a little bit difficult as I'm always being careful not to smudge the gloss.
The colour pay off is good and its a very pigmented product. After the gloss has been applied for a while and you decide to wipe the product off, the lips will be slightly stained leaving a quite nice effect.
The product definitely doesn't have as much durability and its not as long wearing as a matte lipstick or liquid lipstick as after eating or drinking i feel the need to reapply so that it doesn't go patchy and come off in certain areas.
Although its fairly comfortable to wear, i can't forget that its on my lips when i wear it, as i can always feel that its there.
The fragrance of the gloss is nice, its quite sweetly scented but isn't too intense.
As you can see from some of my swatches below, i couldn't seem to find a lip product with a similar colour pay off. Some of my lip products looked very similar in the tube but when swatched next to Posie K, nothing matched at all which makes me think that its quite an unusual and unique shade.
