Skylark

Post by makeup »

Has anyone here tried their Sophia and Ava lipgloss? I know that people who pre-ordered their book got sent some. If so, how do you like it? Is it worth 30 bucks plus shipping? The Sophia color looked really pretty from what I've seen so far.

There's already one on eBay, I'm trying to decide if I should try to get it a little cheaper than retail and hope it doesn't sell out, or just pass on this altogether.

I've never tried them but I'd advise you to pass on them.

According to blair, they're the best lipglosses ever beause they're true to colour and they aren't sticky because their hair doesn't stick to them.

Regardless of how sticky a lipgloss is or isn't I have never found one that hair won't stick to. Even the Urban decay pocket rocket, they're the least sticky lipglosses on the planet (that I've ever come across anyway) and my hair still sticks to them. So I'm pretty sure that isn't true.

I have them and seriously love them! I'm not just saying that either. Well, technically I only like the Sophia one 'cause Ava isn't a good color for me. But the Sophia gloss is my favorite of all time. Not even joking, and I'm not just some minion. It is a really thick consistency, without being sticky (like, you can open and close your mouth perfectly fine without that goopy feel), so it grabs hold and lasts for quite some time! The color is gorgeous, and it is super moisturizing! I'm honestly shocked at the amazing quality. I really wasn't expecting much at all.

What's the taste/scent like?

Sadly, if something doesn't smell/taste like something nice I don't care how nice it is I won't use it. :P

It is scentless and tasteless.

Oh, also...it comes with the doe-foot applicator! A lot of people were speculating that the free lipgloss duo would have the original brush tip that they got rid of, but they actually sent the new doe-foot! So, I thought that was nice. :)

I got them and have been pleasantly surprised! They don't have a scent but are actually are really nice consistency and has great color payoff. Now, all that being said. Would I pay $30 for both of them.. no. I would pay maybe $10-14 each. I don't think its smart to make people buy both. I find myself going for the Sophia more than the Ava just because the color works better for me.

Considering my hair even sticks to my chapstick...yeah, no.

I;ve tried it. It's scentless and tasteless and I guess because of my skintone, the Ava gloss makes me look sick -_- I have brown skin (like halle berry...maybe kelly rowland) and that ava gloss is terrible -___- but the Sophia is gorgeous and they are pigmented. And yes, I got the doe-foot applicator :)

Here is their eyeshadow palette coming out next month. Looks kinda like Too Faced packaging which I actually dislike because of the bulk.

This girl did a review on the glosses and her hair stuck to it, despite the claims it is completely non sticky.

Well even if it's the least-sticky gloss in the world, your hair is still going to stick to it, because it's just that - a gloss.

I'd definitely give this brand a chance. I'm interested in getting the Sophia one.

You need to be prepared to buy ava to. Unless you know someone that would want the ava gloss you're basically gonna be spending $30 on one gloss.

Yeah, I really don't understand when people use the claim that your hair won't stick to it. Oil isn't sticky but if it was on your face, your hair would definitely cling to it. Even if a window or something was wet with just water, hair would stick to it. It's ridiculous to claim that hair won't stick to gloss.

You'd think they'd at least put it all in a pretty package, I mean give consumers a reason to buy it (besides simply being a "fan").

The gloss duo is on sale right now for $20 until the end of October. I'd love to try them but, as everyone else said, I think the Ava gloss would go to waste...
