Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lip Gloss in Maven for Nights Out

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.
