Fenty Beauty Glossy Posse Mini Gloss Bomb Set Review & Swatches
Glossy Posse
Fenty Beauty Glossy Posse Mini Gloss Bomb Set ($42.00 for 0.9 oz.) includes five, miniature-sized glosses with four new, exclusive shades and one from the permanent range. I’m curious if any of these shades will be brought into the permanent line next year; they did that with the prior holiday releases but not all shades.
Depending on your natural lip color, these may look more similar than dissimilar applied, as it is a sheerer gloss formula. I was able to see slight differentiation on my lips, but the set makes the most sense for someone who just really likes the formula more than someone looking for five, distinct shades. All five shades were consistent with past releases in the Gloss Bomb formula, if not slightly better (they were very smoothing of my lip lines!).
The set contains $54 worth of product, and the tin that it comes in can be used (just remove the velvety insert to make full use of the interior!).

Pretty Please
Pretty Please is a brighter, medium-dark pink with subtle, cool undertones and warmer, flecks of golden sparkle. It had semi-sheer pigmentation in a single layer, which applied fairly evenly, but it did not apply as well as other shades in the set, which could have been owed to the increased pigmentation.
The texture was smooth, lightweight, and non-sticky with a plusher feel that smoothed out my lip lines and was comfortable to wear. It stayed on nicely 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.

Fu$$y
Fu$$y is a muted, medium pink with warmer undertones and a luminous finish with fine pearl and a high-shine. The texture felt lightweight, smooth, and plush with more of a gel-like finish–substantial but not heavy or tacky.
It had semi-sheer coverage that applied evenly across my lips, and the formula softened my lip lines noticeably. This shade wore well for three and a half hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Confetti
Confetti is a pale, milky lavender with subtle, bluish-violet pearl. It had sheer to semi-sheer coverage as the milky base washed out my natural lip color, and there was a dusting of pearl on my lips.

Hot Chocolit
Hot Chocolit is a muted, light-medium brown with faint gold and pink micro-sparkle. It really didn’t have much in the way of noticeable sparkle once applied. The pigmentation was semi-sheer–it transformed my natural lip color noticeably but let it come through as well.
It smoothed out my lip lines and had a smooth, lightweight, and non-sticky consistency that was comfortable to wear. the gloss lasted well for three hours and felt hydrating over time.

Cheeky
Cheeky is a medium, pink-coral base with flecks of gold micro-sparkle. It had larger particles in it, but the gloss had a plusher, thicker consistency that was smooth and non-sticky so I didn’t feel the texture of the sparkles in it.
It had semi-sheer coverage as expected that applied evenly, but the dispersal of the sparkles could have been more even. The gloss smoothed out a lot of my lip lines, which was a nice touch. It wore well for three hours and was moisturizing over time.

This is one of the few things I’m excited for this holiday season. I’m getting this. I love her glosses and to have 5 minis will be great. Thankfully, I held off on grabbing Fu$$y, so I won’t have 2 of them in my collection.
Because I absolutely love her lipgloss formula, I will probably pick this up. Every single Fenty gloss I own is a winner. Even Astro-Naughty! They all leave my lips in better condition after wearing one all day.
I really like this set. I have only started really using gloss in the past 18 months and have found a few formula’s that I like. I really want to try this formula and having a mini set is great. I wish my daughter liked gloss as this would be perfect as an Advent calendar gift. I suppose with the right formula she could be convinced, LOL.
This is the Fenty release I’ve been waiting for for years! And now I just have to wait to have mine delivered!
I love these types and colors of gloss either alone when very casual or even on top of lipstick to kick it up a notch or modify the color slightly.
These are going in my basket for 11/1. Oh, I also like the smaller size as I never seem to hit bottom on these tubes.
I really wish Choco Lit and Cheeky had a little bit more pigment to them
This gloss is my 3rd favorite formula so i am buying at least 4 of these! I also am stocking up on 4 of the little sets that came with the mini gloss / mini highlighter because that color is fantastic! I have waited for this since fenty launched. So excited for these. I’m so glad she listened, i hope these become permanent. And other than some laneige sets, these are the only Christmas sets i found appealing. Even dior didnt release the mascara with mini eyeshadow, and guerlain hasn’t released a shimmer body powder for last year or this. So all my normal must-gets don’t even exist this year. Kind of sad that things I have been collecting are changing.
I absolutely cannot understand why someone would want five glosses that are all clear, or pretty near it. It doesn’t click for me, but I’m definitely the minority here.
I just don’t get the hype on this lipgloss. I have the first one and the pink one fu$$y. It’s a nice gloss..I’m not sensitive to smells but the fragrance is a bit much. I find it thick and alittle uneven and colorless.
All these colors look the same to me but obviously people love them.
Wow I REALLY want this but I’m hesitating because of how small they are. OG Gloss Bomb has lasted me about a year with regular use, but even the full sizes don’t contain very much product. Christine, how do you feel about the amount of product in these?
The full-sized gloss contains 0.30 fl. oz. – that’s far more than standard, so I’m not sure how to answer your question since I’m not sure what set your expectations so high? Most glosses are 0.15 to 0.20 fl. oz.
Glad the did well, but then I bought them on a whim, just for the smell and colors! Like many, gloss bomb is one of my favorite products by Fenty…actually it’s my favorite (now that I think about it).
