Fenty Beauty Holo'daze Glossy Posse Set Review & Swatches
Holo'daze
Fenty Beauty Holo’daze Mini Gloss Bomb Set ($36.00 for 0.72 oz.) is a new, limited edition set of four, miniature-sized lipglosses in all new, set-exclusive shades. This is a formula I’m familiar with on a personal-level, as the original Gloss Bomb is one I keep in my bag (or at my desk) for on-the-go or post-testing hydration.
These four were consistent–sheerer coverage, non-sticky and plush textures, and decent longevity but will require regular reapplication. I find this formula to be very hydrating and comfortable to wear, which was true with all four shades. Ruby Milk didn’t apply as evenly for me as the other shades, though from afar, I imagine it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker for most.

Baby Brut
Baby Brut is a light peach with strong, warm undertones and fine, white micro-sparkle through a milkier base. It had semi-sheer color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly but settled a bit into some of my deeper lip lines. It applied better than a lot of milky glosses have for me, but there was still room for improvement. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and spreadable with a plush, more gel-like feel. This shade lasted nicely for three hours and felt 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.

Cake Shake
Cake Shake is a soft, rosy bronze with warm undertones and a glossy, sparkling finish. It seemed to have finer pearl and some micro-sparkle. The color appeared warmer, almost coral-like, when applied to my lips. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that applied evenly and spread out well. The texture was smooth, plush, and thicker without being heavy or tacky. It wore well for four hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Ruby Milk
Ruby Milk is a medium, fuchsia pink with cooler, blue undertones and fine violet and gold pearl. It had semi-sheer color payoff that applied somewhat evenly; the formula didn’t seem prone to settling into my lip lines, but it read patchy to my eye. The lipgloss had a smooth, spreadable consistency that was plush, non-sticky, and like a creamier gel. It lasted nicely for four hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

These look so cheerful on you!
Because I love all but Baby Brut and loved last year’s set so much, I may just get this set, too. I’ll have to wait and see how things are going by Sephora Rouge sale time.
I think I am the only person alive who doesn’t like these glosses. They’re just so sticky! But they look good on you, Christine!
You aren’t the only person – although there are definitely fewer in the camp that don’t enjoy these! I got one of these glosses in a gloss set a couple months ago. I do not find it comfortable, the color isn’t flattering (I have Fu$$y and the pearly sheen pales out my lips really badly), and the smell is off putting and I notice it even after I apply. I do not think they are sticky, but they are really thick and not moisturizing on my lips. I feel like I’m just applying goop to my lips and it is one I force myself to try versus wanting to use. As much as I want to like these glosses because they do look lovely the formula just doesn’t work for my lips. I’m probably going to end up passing the one I have along to a friend.
I hope Taffy Tease will be a part of the permanent range! Can’t get any more glosses right now, still working on the gloss bombs from last year’s holiday set ?
Fenty, we know your listening… Taffy Tease in the full-size please 😀
The colors are pretty and I love the shine, but the smell and taste bother me to the point that I threw mine out. No one ever comments of the smell and the taste, so I must be extra sensitive.
I think these would be perfect for summer – especially when you’ve had time outdoors in the sun. Personally I am not a fan of anything gel like, but I do see how they would be hydrating on the lips.
