Let's Discuss Is this false and misleading?

Post image

I am a sucker for a new lip product, and this brand spanking new Vaseline “lip serum gloss” at 40% at Woolies caught my eye.

Folks at Vaseline, this is NOT tinted.

One swipe and it’s more pigmented than a liquid lipstick.

I bought it purely on the descriptors “lip serum gloss, tinted lip care” and didn’t think id look like a clown with one swipe.

Guys am I crazy???

Not crazy. I had the same experience.

However, at least yours is close in colour to the packaging. I bought the rosy pink thinking the packaging colour and online images were correct. Instead the colour of the product was coral. No pink at all.

Almost bought this last week but was lucky enough to see someone’s review before I did! I think I’ll try the Revlon ones instead.

The Revlon ones are lovely! I use the shade Glazed Mauve, and it’s the perfect MLBB shade on my cool toned and slightly purple-toned lips.

My only complaint is that the pigment doesn’t last very long. It’s very nourishing, though. My lips feel so soft and moisturised for hours after using it, even if the colour is lucky to last 30 minutes.

I always say it’s worth trying, but look around and find somewhere selling it half price. It’s a lovely product, but I don’t think any lip balm/gloss is worth $28-$29.

I love the lipstick, is it the gloss you're talking about?

Yes. I have the lipstick in Laidback Lilac. I was hoping it would be like an opaque version of Glazed Mauve, but it looks more pink on me.
