Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock the past two weeks, you would know that we have recently added to our range in the form of Gloss Lip: a super glossy, super pigmented lip gloss that is long-lasting and non-sticky.
To help you get to know our new Gloss Lip a little better, we decided to break down each of the six shades into characters that we feel personify their personality. From bold shades that like to steal the limelight, to sweeter and more reserved tones, find out what message we think each shade sends and see how they would fare in the real world!
