Cherryoké is the bright red-ish pink and Sweet Tweet is the baby pink with a hint of shimmer which is very pretty in the tube but does not transfer to my hand (during swatching) or my lips.
They came to me in a clear plastic tube with fun little black beads at the bottom for decoration. Very nice touch, scored extra points in my book 🙂
I like the applicator a lot. It’s gentle but not flimsy on the lips. You can use the applicator to spread the gloss on your lips, or just use your finger or lip brush. Either way works fine.
The top part of the tube can be twisted open between the 2 black circles below the applicator. I assume it was meant for product filling purpose, but when not tightly closed, it comes loose quite easily when I tried to remove the clear cap.
The plumping effect was subtle. The formula doesn’t provide the popular tingling sensation that you see in most of plumping gloss, but promotes collagen production, which in turns improves lip volume and softens the lips. I also found the gloss not sticky and very comfortable to wear.
So if you are looking for a hydrating plumping sheer gloss for the summer, this it it. There are 3 other shades – Iced Spice (a sheer brown), Metro Mango (orange) and Vivid Volume (pink), sell for CAD8.50 each. I give Annabelle full credit for fun packaging idea. They are even working on improving the tube to make it easier to squeeze. I’d suggest, while they are at it, print the shade names directly on the tube, then the gloss would be great for all occasions 🙂
