And now for the fun colors:


The formula on the Color Club Lip Gloss is decent. It's thick, slippery and balm-like as petrolatum-heavy formulas tend to be (think Vaseline). I don't have a list of ingredients handy, but from the scent and texture of this formula, it has either a good amount of petrolatum or mineral oil in it.
Apparently I've neglected to photograph it (how did I forget??), but these have the standard fuzzy doe-foot wand applicator. The tubes are clear, square-shaped/edged and have a matte black plastic cap. I've seen this exact tube somewhere before but I can't place it. Is it NYX? Some other brand?
The glosses are unscented and unflavored. They do have a base gloss taste (sort of waxy or lotiony), but other than that, no specific smell or taste. I do wish they had some sort of scent as I never reach for any of the unscented glosses I own because they're not as interesting.
They don't wear very long due to the slippery, non-sticky formula, but they don't leave any sticky residue, either.
The color selection is pretty good. They have a lot of mature, kinda boring/bland mauves and browns but they also have a good proportion of fun colors, too.
My favorites are: Sparks Fly, In Vogue, Style Icon and Spell On You. Red Dress looks awesome over red lipstick, but the one day I wore it alone, my friend said it looked like I had a disease! The glitter in the glitter shades is rather sparse, so it looked like my lips were covered in red spots. They're very nice for layering, but I think Spell On You looks great by itself since it's a clear opal glitter. And Sparks Fly is just crazy awesome metallic bronze with glitter and a bit of duochrome.
To sum it up:
What I liked:
- Smooth, balmy-feeling formula.
- Cool duochrome and glittery colors.
- Completely non-sticky.
- Now available for purchase online.
- Nice applicators.
- There's currently only one place I know of where you can order these, so they're really not easy to get your hands on if you don't like ordering online.
- $10 a piece seems steep for an unscented, mineral-oil/petrolatum based gloss.
- Some of the colors are too run-of-the-mill/bland (think frosty pink and mauve).
- They're unscented, which is a downside for me, but a plus for others.
As mentioned above, these are available on Shop Color Club for $10 each. They're currently running a promotion where if you create your own nail polish three-pack, you get a free gloss.
(These were sent to me for review.)
Yellow! Does that yellow actually look bright yellow on the lips? It looks pretty opaque! I wish these were easier to come by in the UK! x
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know they had gloss! WANT!
ReplyDeleteYeah $10 is too much for these! The yellow and lilac look so interesting, I wonder how these look on lips? NYX and ELF both have glosses in this same packaging.
ReplyDeletethanks for the swatches and review. :)
ReplyDeleteIn Disguise & Style Icon look really pretty!
Wow, they look very pretty! Do you think you could take a few pictures with the glosses on your lips? Just so we can actually see how it will look like. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteArgh, now I want Sparks Fly so much... /gloss addict with no money.
ReplyDeleteNice colors, way to high price! Thanks Scrangie!
ReplyDeleteOh the yellow is BONKERS. I kind of love that! I, too, prefer lightly scented lipglosses - I'm hanging on to the dregs of a Dior lychee-rose KissKiss gloss just for the smell...and a handful of shades from the apparently now-defunct Tony & Tina. Saaaaad faaaaace.
ReplyDeleteAlso, didn't know about the create-a-three-pack thing. Thanks for enabling, YET AGAIN. Hrm, yellow, lavender, or the sparkly pink...
They look like the newest ELF Studio Line glosses.
ReplyDeleteI guess I never paid attention because I didn't even know that Color Club had lip glosses! When I first saw your post, I thought that maybe they had created some smaller bottles for their polish.
ReplyDeleteThe packaging does remind me a lot of the NYX ones. Looks like they have plenty of different colours to choose from, but I think that $10 each is a bit pricey.
Really like Style Icon! And I even like the matching shade for polish...hehe.
Really lovely and great swatches!
ReplyDeletethose tubes look almost exactly like the ELF glossy gloss tubes, I thought they WERE until I read the text! what lovely colors! that yellow, omg! :O
ReplyDeleteWAAAANT. These are so cool! Colour Club products are hard to find in the UK though :(
ReplyDeleteI know it's a completely odd shade but I have my eyes on Citronic. It looks so cool! It looks like it has nice coverage - does it really give you glossy citrus yellow lips?
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm such a nerd for polishes I hadn't even noticed they made other products as well. I like the sparkling Spell on You and Vamp.
ReplyDeleteThose tubes are identical to some (IIRC) no-name ones that Five Below had last year.
ReplyDeleteThese look nice, but for $10? No way.
I found Red Dress at a little clothing store today for $5NZD! I was so surprised, they had four bottles of Color Club polish too (along with some hilarious fake MAC, Chanel & Dior cosmetics). I am looking forward to layering it over red lippy, what a unique gloss! Thanks for your wonderful review as always Scrangie :)
