Product Review: Sally Hansen Lipnotic in Precious


Hi Dolls, 

Here is a product review for Sally Hansen Lipnotic in Precious. I used this gloss in the following LOOK #0001. This is a fun gloss with lots of sparkle and gem like qualities, see the photo above. I thought it was funny that it sparkled like a gem when I took the photo. Sally Hansen does claim that these glosses create a look of glittery gems under glass and it does I also give it a rating of 4 out 5 hearts.

PRO
These glosses could be dupes of MAC dazzle glass. These glosses are very similar in look and feel, however MAC dazzle glass might be a little bit more reflective with the reflecks. The consistency and texture of this gloss in my opinion is a bit better than the dazzle glass glosses. The consistency, texture and tack is a the right amount for lipgloss mixtures that I like. Its not too thick and not too thin, it doesn't come off when licking your lips multiple times.  It does have a slight tack to it but its not tacky. The texture is also surprisingly smooth for as much glitter that this gloss contains. When I rub my lips its not gritty at all, its just nice and smooth. There is also no fall out of glitter, the glitter stays put and the gloss and shine is long lasting.

I love the color of "Precious", its a nice sheer, translucent barely there pink gloss. The product itself looks like a shimmery white gloss with pink, purple, blue shimmer. I own about 7 of them in different shades and shimmer. I think Sally Hansen carries them in a total of 10 colors. These glosses are very sheer and not heavily pigmented. Even the darkest color I have goes on with a sheer tint. The glitter also gives it a different color when applied.

The packaging is great, its clear so you can see what the product looks like. I also find the texture of the brush cap appealing its just nicely textured reminds me of "diamonds in the rough". This also uses a brush applicator like MAC dazzle glass glosses.

CON
The only thing I don't like about this gloss, is the fragrance and taste. It has a sweet floral smell and after taste. I am not a floral person, I love fruity smelling things so I might have a little bias on that. But with that said, its really not too bad, especially if you lick your lips. The gloss stays pretty much on your lips so I am not tasting it all day long.

SPECIAL FEATURE:
These glosses also contain botanicals, mineral and vitamin nourishment that hydrates and soften the lips. My lips definitely feel nourished after a long day of wearing these glosses.
