Shiseido The Makeup Luminizing Lip Gloss – Bellini PK303 Swatches
Posted on | May 12, 2010 | No Comments
Not terribly long ago, I got a little crazy shopping at Sephora online. I didn’t really mean to spend as much as I did, but I just cannot resist that store. I have not let myself even look at the site or any of the promo emails for over a month as a penance for my buying sins. 
One of the things that I picked up was a Shiseido Luminizing Lip Gloss. This is the first thing that I have purchased from Shiseido, and if this lip gloss is any indication of the quality of their products, it will not be the last. I got Shade PK303 Bellini, which is described as “sheer warm rose shimmer” and it is gorgeous.
This gloss, from Shiseido’s Spring 2010 Collection, has a high wattage shine. It is lightweight, very silky, and applies wonderfully. It is not sticky or tacky, and the consistency is in the mid-range, which I find pleasant.
On my lips, the color stays pretty true to what is in the tube. There is a sheer wash of shimmery color, so the effect is a subtle, natural look. It’s perfect for a daytime look, and if you are looking for something more dramatic, it would go great over lipstick as well.
It feels great on my lips, and is moisturizing. There is no discernible scent that I can make out, which will be a bonus to those who prefer unscented products.
An improvement I’d like to see is for it to last longer. Compared to some of the other glosses in my collection, this one would fall toward the shorter lasting end of the spectrum.
I am not a fan of glosses with brushes; I would much rather have a doe foot applicator. I have never used a lip brush enough to be comfortable with one. I feel like I have better control of the product when I have a doe foot. However, this brush preformed well for my unskilled fingers, so perhaps I will have to practice up with a brush.
Shiseido Luminizing Lip Gloss. is $22 and can be purchased at Sephora, and Macy’s.
Until next time, pretty things!
