Comfortable glitter lip, no transfer when worn without gloss

I received this product for free for testing and for my honest review. I recieved the color 720 Spectacular Icone, which I found to be a flattering shade for me. It added a pop of color without being too bold, and the base color paired well with the color of the glitter. The liquid lip is comfor...table to wear. It's light and almost has a slightly powdery feeling on the lips one it dries down. The glitter does not feel gritty or unpleasant. The gloss is also comfortable, it's not too sticky and is not gloopy, while also not being too thin. It adds a nice shine and feels weightless on the lips. The liquid lip is easy to apply, and the brush holds more than enough without needing to dip back in for more product. The brush is comfortable on the lips. There is enough time to apply and adjust the lipstick before it starts to dry down, and once it dries down it stays put. No migrating into lip lines or leaving a mark on a glass if you're just wearing the liquid lipstick side! (Though a few glitter particles did end up outside my lip lines, but I only noticed those when looking closely.) Adding the gloss does allow some color transfer. The liquid lipstick worn alone does show lip texture but no more than other liquid lipsticks I've tried, and it does not emphasize or draw extra or unflattering attention to existing lip texture. I also was able to successfully apply and wear the liquid lipstick even with dry lips from below freezing winter weather. The liquid lipstick can be worn with or without the gloss, and the glitter looks great even without adding the gloss! The glitter can be seen from across the room. The instructions to "activate" the glitter are easy to follow, and this element still works even if you press your lips together right after applying the lipstick, rather than waiting the 5 minutes (though I do suggest pressing your lips together again after 5 minutes when the lipstick is fully dried down to get the full glitter effect.) The lipstick can be easily removed with an oil based product (or some soap water and scrubbing, at least for my arm swatches). It does not leave a stain once removed. Eating oily foods will likely break down or remove the liquid lipstick, as is typical for that type of product. If this lip product is in your price range, I would recommend it. The glitter adds a fun element, and it's done well.
