If you are after a well priced, moisturising, shiny lip gloss, look no further. This gloss delivers all you would need in a natural looking lip gloss. The texture of the gloss is a little thicker than some of the other glosses, however this allows the gloss to stay on the lips longer making reapplication less frequent.

The product contains very fine shimmer particles adding to the gloss factor. Over all this is an excellent product to use and at this price you can have a few of the colour in the range which are all very appealing.

Product:
Natio Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss




It smells yummy and the texture is nice and sticky, that's how I like my lip gloss. It looks great on, shiny and natural and the sticky texture means it stays on for longer. The tube leads you to believe it will be quite pink on your lips but actually it's very nude on, so it would be good dabbed over a coloured lip stick, but great if you just want a nice natural shine. The smell is delicious and juicy. I definitely want one in every colour. 5 big fat Stars!

I really liked that the gloss was in a tube and I loved the colour I was sent (Cherry). It is not a colour I would normally wear but I actually really like the colour, now I have been wearing it for a few days. The gloss also has a slight shimmer to it which helped to make my lips look fuller which was a big plus. The application of the gloss was very easy as it has an applicator tip.

I found the product went on really easily and evenly. The texture of the gloss is quite creamy and glossy without being too sticky. I did expect the smell to be fruitier; it had a slight plastic smell.

I would definitely purchase this product in the future, I have already looked at the other colours in the range and I also like Coconut & Passionfruit. I would give this product a 4 Star rating, the gloss was long lasting which was great and I think the price is very affordable. I can't wait to try some of the other colours in the range.

I like how the product comes in a squeeze tube, which means that it doesn't get too messy in applying the lipgloss and is hygienic. I initially found it quite thick to apply on my lips, since I normally use lip glosses of a thinner or stickier consistency. However, due to its thick consistency, the lipgloss did last longer than other lipglosses, and lasted a few hours. Very sheer in colour, and looked very natural with my skin tone. It did give my lips a shiny look, and this was due to the fine shimmer in the colour.

Fortunately, this lipgloss, does not leave any flecks of shimmer on my lips as it wears of. I think you definitely get a soft, luminous shine with this lipgloss, rather than a high gloss, or transparent, plastic shine. This would go well with more of a casual, natural look, rather than something you would wear to stand out. The texture was quite thick and not sticky at all, which is great if you are after a moisturising, non-sticky lipgloss. I would liken the texture to more of a thick balm, or salve.

It was very moisturising and I could feel the shea butter and other moisturising oils at work! I didn't think the lipgloss smelt like Passionfruit or another fruity scent. This product would be great to use in the winter, or any other time your lips need to be moisturised, since it is a thick lipgloss. I would probably purchase the other shades, since I'm a fan of fruity lipglosses. This is a very well priced product. I have had other lipglosses of similar size, and they last a long time, even through constant application, so this product is definitely good value for money .

I thought the packaging was good, but it was nothing special. However the colour looked quite nice. The colour was great; the nude colour was wearable during the day irrelevant of what other makeup I wore.

It is easy to apply, although I found the lip applicator to really hurt my lips when I applied it, because of a sharp bit in the plastic. For a lip gloss it is not overly sticky, which is always a good thing. The texture was great, not too stick and quite smooth and moisturising. The coconut smell was very appealing; I got a few comments on how nice it smelt.

I would be inclined to purchase it, mainly because of the smell and colour, and how shiny it looked on my lips with the tiny glitter particles catching the light. I would give it 4 Stars, because it was really nice to use, however there was nothing particularly special about it that would make it a must have product.

It reminds me of Lancome's "Juicy Tube" with the same kind of design. Application is a breeze due to the slanted applicator. Although with this kind of packaging sometimes too much product comes out at once. Very bright coral colour in the tube, but goes on sheer (buildable coverage) and gives a natural glossy look to my lips.

The gloss is very thick in texture and there's a slight sweet taste to the product. It also has a very strong melon fragrance that lingers. I give it 3 Stars, because this product is very hard to remove and leaves a sticky residue on my lips. Also the fragrance and taste is too strong and overpowering for me.
