Very sticky on the lips

I recently purchased this lip gloss and it feels very sticky and heavy on the lips. Although, the gloss is really good but not worth buying. I would not recommend this!

This review is for Wet n wild MegaSlicks Lip Gloss. I got two shades of this lip gloss, one is Strawberry Ice and the other is Magenta Flash.

The packaging is pretty basic, it comes in a tube with a soft wand applicator. For some reason, this is my favorite way to apply lip gloss, so I really like that about this lip gloss. When you take the wand out of the tube it comes out with a good enough amount of product. When you apply it, the wand tip feels really soft on my lips and it glides right on.

If you look at the product from the outside of the tube the colors look pretty neat. Strawberry Ice is a very light baby pink, and Magenta Flash is a more intense and strong shade of pink (magenta?). However, when you apply this lip gloss, there’s not much you can do to tell the difference between them. Especially after ten minutes… it makes no difference which you put on; the hint of color looks the same.

So, for a lipgloss, this isn’t a very glossy product. When you first apply it, it looks fairly glossy and cute. I actually like how it looks after you have just applied it, because it gives a very subtle gloss with a hint of color. But as the day proceeds, it wears away. About ten minutes after application there’s not much color left, and about after an hour, there’s basically no gloss left. So if you’re only wearing this product on your lips, you’ll need constant reapplication.

In an apparent attempt for a fruity scent / taste… this product smells and tastes bad. The smell is not that terrible, but after its on your lips, the smell combined with the taste is excessively chemical-like and just… well, not something I want to have on my lips.

The product description for this lip gloss mentiones it has “Vitamins A and E help protect your lips from the drying effects of sun and environment”. So even though I don’t really notice these things when I wear the product, I guess it’s always a plus.

As far as I know, this isn’t a lip-plumping gloss (you know, those that trigger a tiny allergic reaction a plump up your lips)… but! when I wear this MegaSlicks lip gloss I get this strange, tingly, itch on my lips that I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be there. This lip gloss, how ever, does not plump my lips or make them look fuller in any way, it just causes this really annoying, numbing tingle.

I still sometimes use this lipgloss regardless of the numbing / tingling / itch and the bad smell and taste. But after these tubes I have are over, I’m not purchasing this buying again.
