Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Cream - Fenty Glow - 10ml

There aren't many lip glosses that are 100% perfect for every occasion, be it no make-up days or full make-up days. Most are either too orange or too pink, too pigmented or not pigmented enough. It's hard to find something that ticks all the boxes. Or let's say it was, until I tried Gloss Bomb! This peachy nude with a touch of gold shimmer looks flattering on my tone regardless of what else is on (or not on) my face. It's also hydrating, the texture is quite thick but yet surprisingly (for a lip gloss) it is not overly sticky, which gets it a big thumbs up from me. The applicator is quite large, making it easy to apply and it lasts about 3-4 hours - and this is coming from someone who sips on water constantly throughout the day! The only slight cons are: it is ... MoreThere aren't many lip glosses that are 100% perfect for every occasion, be it no make-up days or full make-up days.

The only slight cons are: it is slightly pricey for a gloss and the very strong fruity scent in here is not subtle, I keep catching it throughout the day, but luckily I'm not averse to it. It's one of those love or hate fragrances so best to keep in mind as it's right under your nose the whole day and there's no getting away from it!

Best Lip Gloss for ALL skin tones!

Bar none, this is the best lip gloss I've found along with Merit Beauty's glosses. They are very pigmented while remaining sheer as gloss always does. I couldn't believe how every single color complemented my drep/dark skin tone. I have every color (including the limited edition), and I hope they come out with more. The colots they have now are satisfying, however, because they are versatile and go with hundreds of makeup looks. I can't get enough of these glosses as they are all a perfect match for my dark skin tone. This along with the Fenty Poutsicle and the Merit lip glosses seem like they were made for me. I believe these glosses are worth every penny, and I'll continue to buy if there are any new colors limited edition or otherwise.

I'm just so impressed that they show up on my dark skin which most women my shade understand very well as most lip glosses look clear on us no matter what the color is with most brands. This is a true holy grail lip gloss for me, and I hope this review can put dark-skinned beauties at ease, because this shows up and how!. Don't be afraid to purchase any color because they ALL look so great on every skin tone. I can't articulate how amazing these lip glosses are, but you will not go wrong in at least trying them. You can always return them if they don't work for you. Also, my lips felt hydrated and healthy throughout the day while wearing this cream gloss. It wasn't sticky, didn't rub off right away, and I only had to apply about two or three times throughout a 12-hour day of doing business. I was truly amazed when I have the chance to try this out, and I think anyone else would be as well!

Definitely plumping, but my least favorite Fenty gloss :(

I usually HATE the tingly feeling of plumping glosses, but this one is extremely tolerable, and I will definitely wear it. Very plumping for me, my somewhat thick lips looked HUGE after about 15 minutes of application. If you're looking for plump, give this a try.If you want to try this because you love the Fenty glosses and want to add to your collection, I'd skip it. Nowhere near as nice as the other Fenty glosses; the color is *extremely* sheer, and the beloved fruity scent that makes Fenty gloss bombs irresponsible is non-existent in this line. The scent/taste is extremely bland.If you're searching for a plumper that actually plumps and don't care about any other qualities, you gotta get it. But if you're also looking for a pleasant scent/tasty experience & ... MoreI usually HATE the tingly feeling of plumping glosses, but this one is extremely tolerable, and I will definitely wear it.

Gorgeous texture and shimmer

I don't normally use traditional lip gloss, as I was put off long ago by the nasty sticky feel of the glosses I used as a teenager. More often I find myself using lip tints or oils, for the days I don't want a bold lip. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by this gloss, and find myself reaching for it on a daily basis!Firstly the packaging is lovely, very compact so will fit neatly in a bag or even a pocket. The lid twists and clicks shut nicely so I don't worry about it coming loose or leaking.The gloss itself is not at all sticky, it has a silky smooth texture and doesn't feel too heavy or thick. There's a light glitter which gives a gorgeous shimmer but doesn't look too unnatural, so it's perfect for everyday wear. I wear it most days alone, for a ... MoreI don't normally use traditional lip gloss, as I was put off long ago by the nasty sticky feel of the glosses I used as a teenager.

HAD TO ADD TO MY REVIEW

Ok, I had to come back and update my original review. So at the very end I said I wouldn't repurchase this but after having it over a week I 100% would repurchase. I have placed this up against other clear glosses in my collection and they honestly DONT COMPARE. Every SINGLE time I wear this gloss (which I've been wearing everyday while my makeup is packed away for moving) I get sooo many compliments on my lips!! I've always been told I have nice lips and I love to keep lip products on them to enhance them always. But this is UNREAL!! People can't focus because they're like my lips look so amazing. This doesn't claim to plump but on my lips there's 100% a noticeable difference and I guess that's due to the peppermint ingredient in this. My lips look like glass, ... MoreOk, I had to come back and update my original review. So at the very end I said I wouldn't repurchase this but after having it over a week I 100% would repurchase.

This doesn't claim to plump but on my lips there's 100% a noticeable difference and I guess that's due to the peppermint ingredient in this. My lips look like glass, shiny, juicy, bubbly, and soft. I'm addicted to applying this. It still tastes gross if you get it in your mouth although I love the minty smell. It also really freshens your breath. It gives a wonderful cooling sensation that's not too much during the winter time. I stand by my original review of it being sticky. More sticky than the other gloss bomb variations from this line. That's not going to deter me from recommending or repurchasing this. I 100% will. I also think I will keep using this on its own as opposed to on top of other things, simply because I don't want to have to carry a lip brush to apply, and I don't want to change the color of this spectacular clear gloss. It's the best clear gloss I've ever tried and I stand on that

Love love love!

I have the following shades: honey waffles, cookie jar, fruit snackz, and Fenty glow.Fruit snackz: a super opaque deep wine red, absolutely gorgeous on all skin tones. I use this alone and two coats usually gives me full coverage. You will have to reapply at some point if eating or drinking, but not any more than with lip glosses in general. 4/5Honey waffles: a gorgeous honey nude. I'm a medium deep skin tone with warm undertones so this looks incredible on me. I don't even need a brown lip liner with this one. One of my faves for sure. 4/5Fenty glow: I am NOT a pink lipstick/lipgloss girlie but this one is PERFECT. It's my lips but better with a slightly more pink tone than my natural lips and looks incredible with or without a brown lip liner .5/5Cookie ... MoreI have the following shades: honey waffles, cookie jar, fruit snackz, and Fenty glow.Fruit snackz: a super opaque deep wine red, absolutely gorgeous on all skin tones.

Pretty, if you can stand the awful taste…

I purchased two shades, Diamond Milk and Sweetmouth. Sweetmouth is better than Diamond Milk. While I do love the hexagonal shape of the packaging, it's just too stubby; chunky; and unwieldy. The smell of Diamond Milk is awful, like fruit coated in dollar store lipstick. Sweetmouth smells good, like cake. As far as the feel of these glosses on your lips, they are smooth; buttery; and non-sticky. Sweetmouth has a nicer feel on the lips, smoother than Diamond Milk in my opinion. These are somewhat thicker glosses, so I would say to apply them sparingly. They both look pearlescent and beautiful on, but the sparkles in Diamond Milk are more noticeable up close, which bothers me as it reminds me of tacky glosses from the 90’s. My biggest issue with these glosses is the ... MoreI purchased two shades, Diamond Milk and Sweetmouth. Sweetmouth is better than Diamond Milk.

My biggest issue with these glosses is the taste. I’m not licking my lips or anything, but as you’re talking, the taste just gets in your mouth and it’s awful. It’s that chalky makeup taste like you just sprinkled cheap bronzing powder on your tongue. It hits the back of your throat and makes it feel dry, causing you to cough. It’s gross. I hate lip products that have this effect. The new Clarins lip oils do this to me, as does the Clinique lip balms. I won’t use them, because I just can’t stand the taste. I’m returning Diamond Milk, but I want to keep Sweetmouth, since it is super pretty on, if I can somehow deal with the taste.

This specific shade blend well with my skin tone, it has the shine and pigmentation that I love, and when I wear lip liner is blends perfectly with my choice of liner.

fenty glosses are never the colour advertised

I was so excited about this because I thought I finally found a dupe for my favourite lipgloss that has since been discontinued. It’s partially my fault for not reading the description fully but I selected my colour based on the photos of the product/the swatches shown and customer reviews. The photos of the product and swatch show it as a nice terracotta, slightly shimmery *stunning* colour. The colour I received is so far off from what the photos and swatches show that I had to do a double take and make sure I received the right colour. It is not shimmery at all (which I wish I would have noticed I’m the description, so again my fault) but that aside, the colour itself is so far from what is shown. It’s veeery orange. It’s still a nice shade but I definitely ... MoreI was so excited about this because I thought I finally found a dupe for my favourite lipgloss that has since been discontinued.

I ordered a couple fenty glosses and they are all decent for what they are but not one of them is accurate to what is advertised so definitely look at tonnes of customer reviews before buying.

“You dropped a bomb on me, baby!”

Specializing in glosses for at LEAST 15 years now, I can honestly say Fenty definitely knows what they’re doing. When a gloss has a plumping feature, normally the “plumping” goes down in about 5/7 minutes after applying. Once that tingling sensation’s out the window with it goes that bad b*itch factor you were just feeling too. NOT WITH THIS LITTLE NUMBER! The plumping STAYS, I haven’t experienced this with any other line/product. The colors beautiful and juicy and compliments any wearer, so little goes such a long way and the scent is pleasing too. Aside its esthetics, it keeps my lips supple and soft and doesn’t dry them out or leave them chapped. LOVE that! I have literally nothing bad to say about it. The packaging is nice and I don’t ever find spillage from the ... MoreSpecializing in glosses for at LEAST 15 years now, I can honestly say Fenty definitely knows what they’re doing.

This won’t be my last tube of Gloss Bomb and thats a promise I can keep!
