I love products that not only make you beautiful but are good for you too. This lip gloss comes in beautiful colours and is quite pearlised. Once on the lips the colour softens and has a soft sheen. The feel of the gloss on the lips is more like a lip balm than a gloss, making it very moisturising and this feeling stays on the lips even after the colour has faded. The peppermint oil was commented on by the panellists so make sure it doesn't bother you before purchasing it, but I actually enjoyed this addition in the gloss. Overall, I really enjoyed using this product.

Mineralogie Lip Gloss




It's a cute lip gloss. The gorgeous colours on the outside of the gloss were unusual so I couldn't wait to try it. I loved this colour which was "goddess" very much. You wouldn't have expected the colour that it was from looking at the packaging. I was pleasantly surprised. It was definitely easy to apply. I tried it by itself but I much preferred to use a lip liner first before applying the gloss and the results were fantastic. The texture was fairly thick but with the applicator, it was easy to put more or less of the gloss on. It had a nice gentle fragrance. I could especially smell the lavender and peppermint in the product. Beautiful. I definitely would buy this for myself. I liked the fact that this is a natural product and I would love to buy the other colours.

The packaging for the lip gloss is very striking and would make this product a great gift! I found application of the lip gloss to be simple and precise using the wand applicator. The bronze colour of the gloss was not a shade I would usually purchase for myself, but upon trying it, it ended up being very flattering! The intense pigment and iridescence of the gloss makes it special enough to wear on a night out instead of lipstick. The texture was not sticky at all and my lips felt nourished when I was wearing it. I would purchase this product for myself, but I would save it for special occasions because of the iridescent finish of the gloss. The Mineralogie Lip Gloss gets 4 Stars from me, with one star deducted because it tends to wear off slightly quicker than other glosses I've used.

Looking at the gloss, I was a bit shocked by the obvious iridescent shimmer. The doe foot applicator applied the gloss evenly to my lips but it did wear off quite quickly. This had a very strong peppermint smell which I usually associate with plumping glosses. The texture felt smooth on but did not last well. I prefer a gloss that lasts longer on my lips. I would have to give this only 2 stars.

The clear rectangular capsule and silver lid looks just like the packaging of ten other lip glosses I have. The application is smooth, easy and precise like all other lip glosses with wand-applicators. As for the colour: I love it! Natural, flattering shade with a healthy sheen. The texture is not sticky (unlike petroleum-based lip glosses), and I didn't mind the smell. Peppermint oil is supposed to plump up the lips too. I would purchase this again.
Personal Rating:




My first impression of this gloss was the nice applicator. I liked the suction action of the applicator which would ensure no leakage which has been a problem with other lip glosses I've purchased. The lip gloss was very easy to apply; it glided across my lips and was not sticky. The texture was lovely but I didn't like the peppermint infusion. It also made my lips tingle for about 10 mins after application and I didn't enjoy that sensation.
