Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lip Gloss in Maven ($16.00) is a great night-on-the-town kind of color. It’s a very pigmented gloss in a deep shade of burgundy-wine, so it gives lips a dramatic look without being too high maintenance. The gloss formula itself is non-sticky as far as I could tell, but still thick enough that it’s not a balm or a sheer gloss.
When applied, the color goes on smoothly and looks almost like shimmering water (if water was burgundy and that was acceptable!). The shimmer is just right; it’s obvious and noticeable, but it isn’t chunky or gritty. I found the gloss lasted for several hours before fading, and I didn’t get the dreaded lipgloss ring at the end of the day. I rarely like a gloss enough to wear it alone, but I find this one to be exceptional for that purpose.
This gloss is perfect for nights out, but you can definitely rock it during the day time. Right now, I keep it in my purse, because its an easy grab-and-go color I can wear if I need to amp up my look while out and about.
Swatch + lip swatch…
Ooo this color is so gorgeous! It looks really pretty on you
I know, isn’t it divine? SO PIGMENTED.
Thanks!
I agree with Lydia – it’s beautiful. Definitely something I would wear a lot.
I’m so in love with it. I recommend it for sure

As deep as it is, I don’t think it’s TOO vampy. I swear it! I’m not even a dark lips kind of gal!

This is late, I know, but I picked one up in Vegas, and absolutely LOVE it (we don’t get the brand in Canada… boo). I love how much colour it gives since I hate the texture of lipstick… time to look at other colours!
YAY! I’m so glad you got one, Justine
