Sunday Showcase | Julep Lip Gloss

Sofia Ağustos 05, 2021

Lipgloss was probably my introduction to the wonderful black hole that is make-up. Well, Lipsmackers in Strawberry Kiwi, to be exact. I should have known I would become a make-up horder as I grew up when my Lipsmacker collection exceeded 40. Not much has changed I suppose.

I was not the most impressed with Julep launched their lipgloss collection-- anybody can make a lipgloss. They market these having whatever special regenerating cell thingie it is that they put in everything. Annnnyways this post is to share with you my collection of their lipglosses that I have grown to love and have acquired though mystery boxes, discount orders, and more.

Once a collector, always a collector. Wonder how my old TY Beanie Babies are doing in storage. Probably, obviously, worth $1000s now, as an investment. With the tags still on.

Adored

I will say it once. They all have an off-vanilla flavour. This sheer pink gloss is pretty, but a but too sweet for me. Layered on top of a pink lipstick, it can help you achieve that Victorias Secret look. Wear time for any of these is pretty typical for a gloss- short.

Enchanted

This warm, watermelon shade is pretty and flattering for daily wear. I have used up about half a tube. I like that the shimmer is minimal and that it looks pretty and natural with everything. I would consider re-purchasing if I ever run out.

Awestruck

How cute are these names? Awestruck is probably my favourite. Nude with some golden glitter, I love how sweet yet sexy of a pout can be made with this lovely colour. I would highly recommend this one.

Splendid

I should note that many people complain that the packaging leads to these exploding or otherwise breaking. I have never had this issue. This gloss has a bit more pigment, in the Marsala family. I would even describe it as a "my lips but better" shade, flattering for many occasions.

Charming

Looooooool so I mainly wanted this one for the name. It has a more unique finish, maybe a bit frosty? I quite like it. The rosy pigment is great for subtle sweet looks, and the name, *swoon*.

Posh

Wanted for the name, kept for the colour. I have always loved "black honey" lip products, and this is no exception. The boldest of all of the Julep lip glosses that I own, I like it that way.
