Anastasia Maple, Rum, Grape Jelly Lip Glosses Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Maple
Anastasia Maple Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a deep, reddish brown with warm, red undertones and fine gold and copper pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly, but there was some noticeable color that sank into my lip lines. The finish was rather glossy, while the consistency was smooth, a little on the tacky side but not goopy or heavy, and comfortable to wear. It wore well for five hours and was hydrating.

Formula Overview
$16.00/0.16 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
It is supposed to be “opaque” with “high-shine” that’s “non-drying.” It is one of the more pigmented lipglosses out there that has a smoother, more cushion-y consistency that typically spreads well across the lips. Some shades gather in lip lines, and some shades apply streaky; it seems more common with lighter shades and milkier colors.
The formula is non-sticky initially and develops slight tackiness over time. My experience from wearing the formula is that they are often lightly to moderately hydrating and wear three to five hours. They have a vanilla scent that isn’t too overpowering nor does it linger once applied (I notice it mostly in the tube).

Rum
Anastasia Rum Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a deep, reddish brown with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly across the lips with a subtle, smoothing effect as my lips appeared plumper and less lined. The texture was lightweight, creamy, and slightly tacky but was comfortable to wear over the six hours this shade lasted for.

Grape Jelly
Anastasia Grape Jelly Lip Gloss ($16.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark magenta purple with warm, pink undertones and a cream finish. It had good color payoff, though it was shy of true full coverage. The texture was creamy, spreadable, and on the sticky side but did not feel thick, heavy, or goopy on. This shade wore well for almost six hours on me and was moisturizing.

Oh they’re all so gorgeous!! Time to go check them out in-store.
Let us know what you think!
Rum and grape jelly are beauties!
I only own one ABH lip gloss, in the shade potion. And it’s difficult. But I would chalk that up to the deep dark vamp colour!
I’m interested in trying another!!
Potion wasn’t the very best, though it wasn’t bad for me (B+ rating when I checked) 🙁
All 3 look top notch in smoothness and super pretty worn, as well. If I didn’t either already have dupes for 2 of these, with a long planned to-be of another dupe, I’d be on these babies!
Looking at Grape Jelly has me seriously rethinking my recent purchase of KVD K-Dub, though. I don’t think I like such a vivid, cool magenta in a flat matte finish against my skintone, although oddly MAC Heroine looks perfectly fine on me. So strange!
You could always add a smidgen of balm or gloss on top 🙂
The first two look perfect with your eye look, and the last one looks like fun.
Aw, thanks Betty!
Just love that Maple lip colour – it is very similar to Rum – but that colour shade is mine..
I hope you love it, Genevieve!
Maple is so stunning but so are the Lancome and BITE dupes. How do you even decide????
It’s really tough!! I think the Bite one is best for layering, if that helps.
All of those are so pretty. I’d like Rum to work for me but I think I need a hair plum in a brown to pull it off. Grape Jelly is super.
Ahh, gotcha – I could see more plum making it more wearable for you!
