On my quest to find even more great summer beauty products on a budget a while back, I stumbled on yet another fantastic lip product from Neutrogena. (While their cosmetics and skincare products are sometimes lacking, they seem to have this lip thing down!)
My review explains perfectly why I love Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soothers so much!
Description: "Neutrogena MoistureShine® Lip Soother provides instant, soothing relief on contact with beautiful high gloss shine and SPF 20.Neutrogena MoistureShine® Lip Soother hydrates, soothes and protects dry lips on contact with beautiful high-gloss shine. The unique hydragel formula contains conditioning botanicals and glycerin for intense moisturization. Carry this pocket-portable gloss with you for use whenever you want hydrated, beautiful lips. Available in 6 glistening shades: Glaze, Sheen, Glisten, Shine, Gleam and Shimmer" --Neutrogena.com
Price: $7.00/0.35 oz
Other: SPF 20
Results: These glosses come in a small tube with a twist-off cap and a slanted plastic applicator (breathes sigh of relief yet again for no foam or sponges). Application is a breeze; just squeeze and smooth over your lips, being careful not to use too much... otherwise you might be stuck with a gooey mess.
While the product applies a little thickly - it reminds me of Lancome Juicy Tubes or a similar gloss - it isn't very sticky at all, and feels great on your lips. In fact, it lives up to its name in that it has a soothing, cooling sensation on contact that is wonderful on chapped skin. If you really hate thick glosses, stick to a balm instead, or try the lipstick version of this product.
The colors are sheer and juicy, ranging from a shimmery nude to deeper shades of red and plum. The pinks and reds are all quite similar, so what you choose is a matter of personal taste; chances are, these are wearable for everyone with every level of lip pigmentation. Great for me, with my cherry red lips! I picked Shine, a medium pink-red shade. Each gloss is super shiny and reflective, helping to give lips a fuller and smoother appearance.The best surprise about this gloss is the wonderful smell! I had no idea before applying this luscious gloss to my lips that it smelled just like peaches! While the taste isn't nearly as delicious (it tastes a little like sunscreen), the scent is enough to make me want to wear it all the time!
Did I mention the great SPF 20? It's excellent for everyday sun protection, and strong enough to wear on a sun-heavy day if applied frequently. The gloss contains many conditioning ingredients that keeps them hydrated throughout the day. I never felt it was drying out my lips, unlike some glosses!
While the gloss doesn't have the best staying power, about 2-3 hours at the most, it's fun to apply and wear. It doesn't feel like a chore to reapply, like some products do. Given that it has an SPF of 20, you should be putting it on frequently anyway to make sure your lips are getting the sun protection they need!
Aside from the wear time, the only other thing about this product I would change is the flavor. Why can't it taste like peaches, too? :(
