Fenty Beauty Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer Review & Swatches
Diamond Milk
Fenty Beauty Diamond Milk Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer ($18.00 for oz.) is a translucent, slightly milky base with fine silver and white pearl. There was a smidgen of color to the base that lightened my natural lip color, but it was translucent to the point where it didn’t appear milky or white-based applied–which is good since it didn’t gather in my lip lines either! The texture was smooth, lightweight, and lightly creamy with a non-sticky consistency that wa spreadable and comfortable to wear. I found it very comparable in feel and wear to the original shade, though this shade applied better and was more smoothing. It wore well for three hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$21.00/0.3 oz. - $70.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.

Just bought it before reading the review because I knew I’d like it. I’m mixed on Fenty Beauty products, but the gloss bomb is the bomb scent wise and staying power wise for a glow. A tad thick, but I don’t mind the feeling.
I’ll be honest, I find it very boring and I think you can get something that creates the same effect for a handful of pennies at the drugstore. But Rihanna is a marketing genius, she managed to make the launch of a clear shimmery gloss something exciting for her customers!
I’ll pick this up for my daughter. Love Fenty lip glosses but I have Jouer Frost Bite to finish up.
I just bought this and diamond bomb yesterday. I honestly didn’t think I would like it because pics just don’t do it justice! When I swatches them on my face and hand I was impressed. Very pretty!! The highlighter is expensive but it’s gorgeous and can be layered on top of other highlighters and same with the gloss but beautiful alone too. Not sticky on the lips and the highlighter feels so silky.
I have the original Gloss Bomb and don’t reach for it often because I’m a lipstick gal, and yet I kind of want this. The tube is so pretty! lol
