By: Donna Michelle

Hey pumpkins!
              Today I'm reviewing two lip glosses by Donna Michelle. These two beauties are scented in 'Strawberry' and 'Pink berry'. They come in flexible, squeezable plastic tubes.

                                 
         
               As you can see, the 'Pink Berry' scented one has a lighter tint than the 'Strawberry' one. The applicator is a typical plastic slanted edge.
                                   

    Sorry! My camera gets terribly unfocused.
                                                    Anyway, each one is extremely sheer and has a very light tint. It feels very, very smooth and soft on the lips. Almost like butter! It is also very moisturizing. I'd use it rather as a tinted lip balm than a gloss, as it gives very minimal amount of shine.
               And it's lasting power is so low. In about half and hour it just disappears. I don't know if my lips are just too dry or if i lick it a lot..but it just vanishes! Like it slides right off! I've read other reviews with similar problems.
                   They both smell sweet like strawberries and are very similar to one another. The scent is not very strong nor very mild.
                    The packaging is nice and tight, and i find it travel friendly.
                                 
           You can see how sheer it is. The one on the left is 'Pink Berry' and on the right is 'Strawberry'.                                             I have applied just one layer, but you can build up the color. However, i find that is you apply too much it just spreads everywhere. It's perfect for a quick walk, or a visit to the nearby grocery store because it won't last long enough for anything else!
                             I personally prefer the 'Strawberry' one because it has a slightly stronger tint (comparatively).

PROS:
- Has a sheer color, if you like that kind of tint.
- Comfortable packaging
- Good price
- Sweet smell
- Very smooth
- Is very moisturizing (like a lip balm)
- Travel-friendly

CONS:
- Low lasting power
- Very little shine

Rating: 2/5

                 I wouldn't buy this product again. It's a nice thing to have around, but worthless as a 'lip gloss'. This is just my personal opinion. A lip gloss is ideally supposed to last for a good amount of time and have a decent shine.

                                         Which is one lip gloss that has disappointed you?
