I amplify

 Hello,

for today I have a sparkling beauty. I picked it out randomly online and it did look a bit more pink but still I am happy with the peachy tone.

This beauty is L'oreal glow paradise balm in gloss, my shade is I amplify. Tube looks regular sized and it holds 7 ml of product which means that it will last me a long time.

Applicator has shape of an eight and holds a decent amount of product. Immediately after opening it strong minty scent fills the room. I got scared since I can't stand strong minty, tingly lip products. I guess my lips just got too sensitive. After applying it it feels okay but the feeling grows stronger every minute, this gloss is one of the strongest that I have ever tried and I don't know how long it will take me to use it up since I know I will use it sparingly.

There isn't much of a base color but multicolored shimmer is present. Lip gloss sparkles from pink to gold. If I apply it like a regular gloss it is glossy and juicy but the cooling effect is too strong for me. I prefer to apply thin layer but then I just don't get the full shine. I envy people who can handle strong cooling effect because they will be able to wear this one in their full glory.

In certain light the sparkle almost disappears completely and it looks almost clear. The particles are slightly noticeable if I press my lips together, I can slightly feel them. It is not too bad but there are other glosses out on the market which have smaller shimmer.

Here is another swatch just to show how the sparkles almost hides under certain angles but the gloss remains very juicy looking. 

I am not the biggest fan of strong minty lip products so this is not going to end up among my top five and so far I am not even sure I should even keep it. Maybe I will wait till the next Summer and see if I will use it during the hot months otherwise I will give it to my sister.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
