Glam Glow Lip POUTMUD review

Written by Deanna .P

When I first received GlamGlow POUTMUD™ Fizzy Lip Exfoliating & Wet Lip Balm Treatment Duo, I was super impressed with the bright pink & silver lettered fancy packaging.    I had never seen a lip product packaged so nice.  I even liked the fact that it was two lip treatments in one.  

 

The set contains: 

  • 0.88 oz Fizzy Lip Exfoliating Treatment 
  • 0.88 oz Wet Lip Balm Treatment 

 To use, you start with the exfoliating tub.  Massage a generous amount on lips for 5-10 seconds.  Gently massage with water & this will activate the fizzy renewing action.  Rinse with warm water.  Recommend use is 2-3 times a week.  

The treatment is said to renew, energize & smooth lips.  The exfoliation complex consists of caribbean cane sugar, Hawaiian sea salt, and hibiscus flower powder, and is further boosted with an antioxidant-rich tropical fruit blend of sweet almond oil, guava, cherimoya, star fruit, lychee, and mangosteen. The wet lip balm tub is to be applied evenly next.  This can be used anytime.  The Wet Lip Balm Treatment is supposed to instantly make lips feel softer, hydrated, and look restored.   It’s formulated with a super hydration infusion of sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, murumuru butter, shea butter, tamanu oil, and babassu oil, and enhanced with kombucha extract Both lip essentials contain teaoxi® Moroccan mint leaf for sweet, minty, kissable lips. There is no Parabens, Sulfates, or Phthalatesin the product. The GlamGlow line was originally created by a couple in California in 2011to be used exclusively for backstage & professional useby Hollywood movie stars.

Glenn & Shannon Dellimore formulated it in their home & gave it out to some of their actor friends to try.  The products worked so well that they received a call from a top luxury brand that wanted to retail the products.  And the rest is as they say, history!  

I tried the treatment & I was definitely impressed.   I had tried many lip balms, chapsticks, etc, but they never made my lips feel so good.  This 2 part system really worked to soften, restore & invigorate my lips.  The ingredients all felt natural smelled delectable, & the end result was a perfect pout.  My lips felt & looked so good, I was tempted to go sans lipstick  for the first time in many years.

I thought the price at $39.00 was a little high, but was worth it for this lip treatment.   I would definitely recommend this & would also try other products.

Mecca Cosmetica Lip De Luscious Review

Written by: Danyelle V

 

Hello, Mecca Cosmetica! This Australian brand is new to me but I have faith in a country that has produced the Hemsworth brothers (#TeamChris).

 

Mecca Cosmetica’s Lip De Luscious lip protectant has been added to my summer makeup and skin care routine. The first step in my makeup application is always hydration. This process extends to my lips. I apply something to my lips that is going to make them look healthy and full before I apply my makeup to allow the product time to absorb into the lips. The creamy glossy formula comes in a weighted frosted glass jar which gives the product a luxurious feel. What I love most about the product is that it does not feel sticky on the lips. I have very long, wildly unruly hair and it drives me crazy when my hair gets caught on a lip product, especially when I’m driving. Mecca Cosmetica’s packaging for this product claims that it has a pink tint to it and that is untrue. I usually am put off when a company doesn’t deliver on its claims but traditional glosses and lip treatments don’t usually have a color to it. I also didn’t plan on using the product for any color pay off so the overly enthusiastic advertising didn’t bother me this time. I try not to be a brat but I think if you are going to make a claim about a product, you should deliver. This lip protectant is perfect to keep your lips safe from the sun with its SPF level of 25. When the gloss fully melts, your lips a left feeling very plush. Dab off any excess product and apply your favorite lipstick. I also like to use this as a treatment after I exfoliate my lips and as an overnight treatment. Lip De Luscious is quite expensive. $28 for a lip treatment is pretty steep. However, because my lips feel so plump and hydrated after using it, I think it’s worth it. Just leave it at home. We all lose our lip balms all the time. We can’t afford to lose a $28 lip treatment!

 

 

This is no pink tint
