Fenty Beauty Fantasy 4Sum Gloss Bomb Set Review & Swatches
Fantasy 4Sum
Fenty Beauty Fantasy 4Sum 4-Piece Gloss Bomb Set ($38.00 for 0.84 oz.) is a new, limited edition set of four glosses to the holiday season. They’re all new shades, though three shades are holographic takes on existing shades; these are also the miniature-sized glosses in the set. The full-sized shade has a cream finish in comparison, and it was also high coverage (more than marketed). I love the original Gloss Bomb Luminizer formula; they’re plush and smoothing while having decent longevity and a really hydrating feel over time, and these three minis performed well. The cream shade was decent but not the highlight of the set.

Fenty Glow Fantasy
Fenty Glow Fantasy is a darker coral with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and multi-colored micro-sparkle throughout. It had semi-sheer color coverage with a light dusting of sparkle, so it delivered a tint against my natural lip color, shine, and a bit of twinkle. The gloss had a thicker consistency, though it wasn’t tacky or heavy in feel to me, and it spread easily across my lips without getting into my lip lines. It wore well for four hours and felt moisturizing 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.

Hot Chocolit Fantasy
Hot Chocolit Fantasy is a darker, plummy brown with neutral undertones and a dusting of iridescent micro-sparkle with a glossy finish. It had sheer color coverage that delivered a plummy tint to my natural lip color with light-to-moderate shimmer/sparkle. The consistency felt smooth, thicker but plush and non-sticky, which helped to soften my lip lines and was very forgiving of imperfections. It stayed on well for four hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Candy Milk
Candy Milk is a darker pink with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The texture was smooth, almost like a cream-gel hybrid, but it was a thicker formula that felt that way on my lips, so I imagine for some, it will be heavier/too thick. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff, which was more than marketed, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips with some product that settled into my deeper lip lines. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.3 oz. - $63.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage from "medium" to "full" with "zero shimmer" and a "non-sticky feel." They had medium to semi-opaque coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly in most instances, though there was light settling into my deeper lip lines with a couple of shades.
The consistency was smooth, mostly non-sticky, and like a plusher cream, though lightweight, but it was a slightly thicker gloss to the point where adding a full-on, second layer did start to feel heavier and like I had a lot of product on, so I'd recommend these more for someone who wasn't interested in building up the coverage beyond one layer.
They wore around four hours on me and felt hydrating over time. The formula has the same sweet, peachy scent as the original Gloss Bomb (no discernible taste to me).

So far, out of all the holiday sets, this is the one I might well nab! These are all shades I would wear.
I got this set about 3 weeks ago (it’s not often Sephora New Zealand gets stuff at the same time as the US!) and I love it beyond all reason. It took me a while to get on the Fenty Gloss Bomb train but I’m never getting off now, ha ha!
Me too Ceebee! Surprised at how much I love the Fenty lip gloss formula in this kit. Fantasy is unique, Candy Milk is great for everyday!
The shade colours look reasonably similar to me, but at least the formula is good and it seems to be a decent holiday collection to pick up.
I hate pink glosses. If that full size had been a nudey beige I wouldn’t even wait for the post holiday sale to grab this set up!
I like the cream shade a lot actually for a good MLBB shade but it’s funny to me that it hardly has any scent at all to it when even the first Cream shades that came out had a fruity scent to them. The originals always have the peach vanilla scent which is the most pleasant so I’m happy that these holographic ones have that! I imagine the scent added to these has to vary with the formulas, especially with stability testing but such a bummer that Candy Milk doesn’t have nearly any scent at all. Just some product development thoughts.
I prefer glosses that either have a lot more shimmer or are a little more pigmented, so this is an easy pass.
