A few days
ago I decided to take a trip to my local Sephora and I stumbled upon this little
treasure! It’s called « Studio Secrets Universal Lip
Glow » by L’Oréal Paris. I’m not quite sure what caught my eye at first,
maybe it was the very appealing sleek black and pink packaging or just the fact it
was screaming : TRY ME!!!. I opened it up to find a curious
pink translucent sort of lip stick. I’ll admit it, I thought it was just
going to turn out to be a fancy lip balm ... but then came the mind boggling swatch. In a blink of an eye, it had gone from
transparent to pink! *Mind just blown* From that moment, I was hooked! That
magical transition had me frantically striding towards the checkout and
forgetting why I had actually gone into the store in the first place.

As you can see, it looks quite fancy for a product that only
cost around 14 euros (only £8.49 in Boots (click here)! You jammie lot back in
the UK !) I can’t complain about the odour as it doesn’t really have one (unless you count a slight lemony tinge when you first purchase it). It glides
on easily enough and I really adore the fact that it adapts so naturally to my
lip colour. I find it really difficult to get the right shade of lipstick for
my pale skin and this seems to be the solution! Plus you don’t have the
hassle of getting it everywhere, especially on your teeth! I would say that you'd probably get away with applying this blindfolded which is a bonus for me as I'm as blind as a bat. The sheer and
modest shimmer of this Lip Glow is so appealing and would compliment most skin
tones.

The only downside
to this product is that it tends to dry my lips out a little, so I always apply
a transparent lip balm or Vaseline over the top just for good measure. Be patient with the product as when applied to the lips (since they are already coloured), you won't notice it yourself straight away. Another downfall is that you'll most likely never get the same shade twice (in my case anyway) because the product reacts to the warmth and moisture of your lips. Personally I’m really enjoying it so far and hope that this review has maybe
helped someone take the plunge into Lip Glow paradise. As I mentioned before, I
rarely wear lipstick beacuse of my skin colour and extremely dry lips. This
product has managed to fish me out a few compliments for the dash of
colour that it adds to my lips ... (oh yeeeaaah!) It gives a complete natural finish to your lips without the hassle of a lipstick ... who said magic doesn't exist, eh?
