LORAC recently released a set of lip glosses called Lips With Benefits and they are incredible. First of all, look at that packaging! The swirls of sparkle and striped hues are so eye-catching and add a little something extra, not to mention the colors are gorgeous. These lip glosses smell absolutely heavenly, like a cross between creme brulee, caramel, and cotton candy. Each lip gloss is completely non-sticky and lasts a long time on the lips. I have two to swatch and show you in this post. To see photographs and swatches,
Mark is a neutral peach shade with gold and bronze striped hues in it. This shade is the perfect neutral shade to pair with dramatic eyes. It’s a really light nude peachy-pink shade, and the slight shimmer to it is quite beautiful. The pigmentation on this is stunning, and the smell is heavenly. To me it smells like caramel and chocolate, and it is completely non-sticky which I love. All of these glosses have antioxidants in them to nourish your lips and make them feel smooth, healthy, and moisturized, which I like. My lips are prone to being chapped, and many lip products just further dry them out.
The swirl design will eventually get messed up as you use the product, but it’s nice because those hues and that sparkle will come out onto your lips, giving you an extra hint of shine.
Alex is a berry pink with slight purple tones to it. The swirl hues in this one are a darker, brighter berry-purple shade and contains silver shimmer. This shade smells delicious, and again is completely non-sticky. This is the perfect spring/summer shade when you want to jazz up your lips with a pop of color!
Here is “Mark” and “Alex” swatched side-by-side:
Overall: I love these lip glosses so much that I want to purchase the other two shades in the collection. The packaging is amazing, the swirled hues and shimmer add a pop of something extra, and the formula is a dream.
