About the Brand Maybelline is 1 of the more affordable cosmetics I could buy but I prefer L’Oreal’s quality & longer lasting performance. Maybelline’s more to glossy youngsters anyway.
Value for money 5 cheap even if you buy it at normal price because it can last for months!
Would buy? Not my type of gloss. I prefer non-sticky. No cherry please!

Got this free from L’Oreal Consumer Products Division warehouse stock clearance (Updated 24 Oct) where you fill up the form in the newspaper and passed back to L’Oreal. As a token of appreciation, you get this.

When I got it, I immediately checked the flavour. It was hard to see the silver letterings on the clear plastic tube. All I could see was bright red red lipgloss. Had to scrutinize it. Wild Cherry. I’m not wild about cherry – the fruit, taste and smell. Ieeee… smells like cough medicine. I never eat the cherry on top of cakes!

Anyway, it was free… so free testing. Scrutinized it further and noticed the gold-orange shimmer in the gloss. Looked pretty though the tube was nothing spectacular.

It’s quite sticky and thick. Tastes plasticky. Smells like (mild) cherry but not the nauseating type. Thank the chemist (or whoever made the decision) for not creating an over powering cherry smelling lipgloss! I’ve always preferred strawberry over cherry in the red fruit department.

Even though the colour looked really bright red in the tube, it’s just a pretty pinkish red stain with shine (as in watery like) on lips. The gold flecks are not visible on the lips, alas. I have moderate lip – not too pale or dark so I could see some light pink gloss. Since it’s sticky, it’s longer lasting than those lipgloss with shimmer only.

It’s easy to apply – just squeeze the tube and the lipgloss will come out from the hole that’s just right for size. The end is slanted so you can use it to spread the gloss evenly. Sometimes when I squeeze extra out, I just rub the end on the lips all round to make sure drippings would end up on my lips instead of staying on the tube. Don’t want to breed germs there.

When I wear lipgloss, I always have the urge to press my lips together and move them around.
