Hello Honey Bees, I'm back! I have returned from my vacation in Mexico only to come home to a stack of mail and a highly anticipated Sephora box! The products I had ordered from the Hello Kitty for Sephora private event sale have finally arrived! Two Sweet Gloss sticks arrived in Pinkie and Pink Bow and boy was I ever excited to try these babies on! What was described as a lipgloss in a lipstick tube, I was excited to put these to the test. The packaging is of course the cutest thing I've laid my eyes on. The stick is slim, almost reminiscent of MAC's slimshine sticks, and decorated in with the shiny Hello Kitty insignia. The colors I ordered were Pinkie, a fuschia pink and Pink Bow, a softer and cooler bubble gum pink. Both looked pigmented and rich with color in the tube. On the lips however, this Kitty failed to deliver. Not only were both products completely devoid of any shine, but the gloss/lipstick felt thick and heavy on the lips with very little pigmentation. I am holding back on calling these "glosses" since there is nothing remotely glossy about these. This was not at all what I had expected from Hello Kitty or the Sephora brand. To my disappointment, these sweet glosses are a giant FAIL and would be better off as gifts to my 2 year old niece. The saving grace of these products is the two-cute-for-words packaging and at $16 a piece is not worth it in the least. The pictures I took of the swatches didn't even translate well into pictures! Shell out a grade A product without the gimmicks and save us makeup fiends a lot of time and money. Bottom line? Skip this kitty and save your cash. Meow.
