Name: Diva Gloss
Brand: Big Girl Cosmetics
Size: 4g
Price: $15.00

From Big Girl Cosmetics:
This is the ultra-brilliant formula that delivers transparent shine, sensuous shimmer, and sumptuous shades. Super-easy to apply in its very own applicator tube. All colors provide a hint of color with long-lasting, non-stick shine!

What I liked:
- nice sheer and shimmery shades
- not sticky
- quite moisturizing
- delicious flavour
- the packaging

What I didn’t like:
- doesn’t last longer
- the price

Have you ever heard of Big Girl Cosmetics? It’s a nice little company that promises state of the art products at affordable prices. So far, I have only had the chance to try their Diva Gloss, which I won in a blog contest, and while, I really wouldn’t call a $15.00 lipgloss affordable or cheap, I’m very impressed with its quality.

Diva Gloss is available in only 5 shades but unfortunately I don’t know which one I have as I didn’t buy it myself and the name is not printed on the packaging. Judging by the swatches on their website though, I’m pretty sure I have Berry Diva. It looks like a rich brownish pink in the tube, but on the lips, it provides the slightest hint of color with lots of gold shimmers that make your pout shine.

This is definitely a lip gloss for those that want shine instead than color from a gloss. The shimmers aren’t over the top at all and the shade is just understated and very wearable, suitable for both school and work. The texture is wonderful too: it glides on easily, isn’t sticky at all and quite moisturizing too. Unless you have dry lips, you won’t need to use a lip balm underneath it.

The scent and taste are delicious too! I can’t really quite describe the flavour. It’s sweet without being too sweet nor overpowering but it makes me wanna eat it when I apply it lol. But I know I shouldn’t do that. ;) Like most lightweight glosses, though, this too doesn’t last long and touch ups are necessary about every two hours.

Summary
Big Girl Cosmetics Diva Gloss is a not-sticky, lightweight, moisturizing gloss that provides just a hint of color and lots of shimmers to make your lips shine. However, it doesn’t last long and some may find the price expensive.

Rating: 4/5

Nice one as this could be tried with lighter shades of lipsticks too as it has less color and lots of shimmering effect.
