I just got mad about lip balms and glosses these days! Lip balm is one of the product which I cannot live without (kajal too) The main reason for this is that I hate dry lips. If I be without lip balm for a day, my lips will start bleeding due to sensitivity, dryness and lack of nourishment. So whenever I shop, I always do look out for lip balms, especially my favorite pink or strawberry ones. Recently I reviewed VLCC Strawberry Lip Shield which I am satisfied with. Today I will be reviewing the Glamorous Gloss Pink Sugar lip gloss from Nivea. You would have guessed by now why I purchased this one! Especially for the “Pink” and “Sugar” mentioned on the name of this cute looking gloss tube. Pink is my favorite and about sugar… soo sweet!! So, picked it all of a sudden without any idea. What else is needed for a yummy, pinky lip gloss? hmm.. Okay now, can move to the review (I will stop blabbering) :p

My Views about this product with Ratings
❤ The Packaging
I will finish about describing this product short and sweet. Nivea Pink Sugar Gloss – Perfect Packaging! The product comes in tube which has a slanting tip applicator which is very easy and hygienic to use. The really glamorous pink colour of the pack with a semi transparent white cap tempts everyone to buy it! So, this product is very beautifully, compactly and hygienically packed. As the tube is semi transparent, we can easily guess how much is left in the tube. The cap is sturdy and hence it is travel friendly too. I loved the packaging of this lip gloss really very much.
Rating: 5/5

❤ Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
I already said that I bought this product for the pink coloured cute tube and attractive name but unfortunately it is not pink at all :( Very very slightly pink (Refer the below pic) which doesn’t show up on the lips. It only gives a heavy shine with shining glittery particles, not at all pink and so this transparent shiny texture disappointed me a lot. If you are a person who loves shiny and transparent lip glosses, then this will be your great pick!
It has a thick consistency which I felt a bit sticky on my lips and the product doesn’t stay longer too. For the price, even though it’s not that costly I expected a little more staying power which it doesn’t have. It barely stays for 2 hours. But the good thing is that, even you have some drink it doesn’t gets vanished off. The fragrance is very frutish and mild which I loved very much (It is really exotic as they claim) and it also spreads smoothly over your lips. The things that disappointed me are the sticky feel, no pink tint and staying power :(. Other than that, it’s a good smelling lip gloss which is decently priced.
Rating: 3/5 (-1 for the sticky feel, -0.5 for staying power and -0.5 for no pink tint)
❤ My Experience with this Product
This lip gloss basically disappointed me for the reason “No Pink tint”. I am wondering how they name it is as Pink sugar where there is nothing than shiny glitters. But when I top it up with a lipstick it looks rich and fabulous and for that reason it is worthy I feel. It stayed on my lips for 2 hours and after that I lost the glitters and moisturizing effect. So, this wont be a great pick for extremely dry lips :( Even when I drink coffee or some other drink, the gloss didn’t budge and all over it has SPF to prevent lips, so these are the good things. Overall it’s a good product which has a mild fragrance and glamorous glitters which goes with lipsticks well. It is decently priced, handy and attractively looking too. As it has a good quantity, lasts for months too. Nothing to say much good or bad about this lip gloss.
Rating: 3.5/5
PROS
- Very Cute and Hygienically packed.
- Comes in a semi transparent tube, hence it is easy to find how much is left.
- The yummy and mild fruity smell doesn’t bother any noses. I love it.
- Rich glittery particles are present hence can be a great party wear (Only along with lipstick)
- The slanting tip applicator makes every application easy and thus every squeeze is in great control.
- Spreads smoothly over lips and doesn’t budges off with any liquid intake.
- For this price, the quantity is quite good and hence lasts for months.
- This one will be a great pick for transparent and shiny lip gloss lovers.
CONS
- No Pink Tint is showed on lips for the name “Pink Sugar”
- Stays barely for 2 hours, then the glitter and moisturizing effect disappears.
- Not a great moisturizing gloss for dry lips anytime.
- I felt this little sticky on my lips, yet not sure about how others will feel.
Recommendation: Go for it if you are expecting a glossy & glittery lip gloss to top up with lipstick as it looks fabulous and decently priced. Not for the ones who have extremely dry lips and love tinted glosses. (It’s not that good at staying power and little sticky too)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5 (Expecting the pink tint and more staying power)
Will I repurchase again?: Not sure. May be! Because I would like to try some other tinted glosses. If I don’t get this glittery much one anywhere, I will surely get this to use with my lipstick for a rich and shiny look.
I used to use this a lot!I have finished two tubes of this, i love the way how it smells too!

Thank you Candice :) Have you tried it?
exactly… it has no pink tint at all. wasted money :(
Yes, there is no much pink tint… If we expect for the tint and buy it, it would be a great disappointment. But I like applying it for the rich glossy shine over my lippy.
