Pleasantly paffuto lip gloss - lip gloss discontinued by Principessa Beauty - review by Vivek Patel

Are you looking for a good quality lip gloss? Are you looking for a lip gloss that actually stays put? How about a gloss that isn't sticky in nature, that smells good, and makes your lips plump up nicely? Well, the Pleasantly Paffuto Lip Gloss by Principessa Beauty, offer that and more! With over four different shades of gloss, this lip gloss offers a nice plumping effect, which is perfect for a woman who wants to add a little extra to her lips.



The colors that are offered:

The texture of the lip gloss is very smooth, and glides on the lips with ease. There is no sticky feeling at all, nor is it greasy, which my fiance says she hates about most lip glosses. I personally tried the gloss on my lips, but my skin is too dark for the color to show up. I am Indian, so the "Naked Pink" shade did nothing for me. Plus I'm a male, so I wouldn't normally wear this in public! The "Naked Pink" is her shade, which she will be wearing.



Turning the lip gloss tube upside down, the gloss is thick enough that it doesn't drip out, however, it's thin in nature that it's mostly a lip stain. It just adds a hint of pink color, more nude and best for fair skin. The gloss did offer a shimmer of light to my lips, so it can still be worn on someone with darker skin, but just as a shine.



When it comes to the plumping component of this lip gloss, it almost feels like a medicated chap stick. There's a slight tingle in nature, which actually feels nice. It leaves the lips feeling soft, healthy, and a little plumper then before!

When it comes to the taste of the product, there is absolutely none. There is a mild smell, which reminds me of something sweet, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe sweet like some sort of candy, like candy-corn, or candy covered popcorn. Maybe someone else who reviews this product will be able to come up with a better aroma description then what I can. I don't have quite a good nose for these types of things.

Overall, the product lived up to it's description. The lip gloss does offer a bit of a plumping solution, as it helped plump up my fiance's lips. I naturally have plump lips, so I didn't notice much of a difference on myself. I did however, notice the tingle of the plumping agent working.

The gloss feels nice on the lips, isn't sticky or greasy, and keeps your lips moisturized. It leaves the lips moisturized for quite some time, as my fiance was able to kiss me, drink something, eat, and there was still some gloss left on her lips. In the end, it absorbs nicely into the lips and leaving them soft.

When it comes to packaging of the lip gloss, my fiance says that's it's so cute and above and beyond what she normally buys. The tube of gloss actually comes in a cardboard tube that can be recycled. The tube measures 4" high, and the diameter of almost 1". The color of the cardboard is light pink, which is very feminine in nature. On the front it has a round oval shape that is a slightly lighter shade of pink, that is outlined with black. Inside the oval shape, it contains the brand name "principessa beauty", which is written in a darker pink. Below it has the "pleasantly paffuto" written in black, and below that "plumping lip gloss", "naked pink". Directly at the bottom portion of the oval, there is a white rounded logo for the company.



For the back of the packaging, it contains another oval shape with the same colors. It has the description of the product listed, along with the ingredients, recyclable symbol, etc. It also contains "Made in Canada", as well as the companies website: "www.principessabeauty.com".

Ingredients:
Polyisobutene, Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba) Seed Oil, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Beeswax (Cera Alba/Cire d'abeille), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax (Cera Carnauba/Cire de carnaube) Ethyhexyl Palmitate, Myristyl Lactate, Ozokerite, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Myristyl Alcohol, Tribehenin, Palmitoyl, Oligopeptide, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Sodium Hyaluranate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Flavor (Aroma), Benxyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate.



When it comes to the actual lip gloss, the container is made of plastic. The full container including the wand attached measures 3.5" tall. The lip gloss bottle without the lid measures 2.5" tall, but without the screw-on portion, it measures 2" in height. The diameter is almost 3/4", and the gloss is 6g and 0.2 fl. oz. The Eden Fantasys original description states that this is 0.8 fl. oz., however, that is not correct. Both the sticker on the bottom of the gloss, as well as the cardboard tube states it.



The lip gloss brush itself is perfect in size, and is soft against the lips. The tip is rounded, and on one of the sides, it's actually flat. With the added cardboard container that the gloss comes in, you don't have to worry about it ever leaking. The original gloss container is solid anyway, but if by some chance you didn't close it properly, it has protection for travelling.

This lip gloss has the special feature of making your lips plump up a little. My fiance has super small lips, and this helped plump them without any surgical procedures. Plus it looks natural, which is much better then injections. With it being a plumping gloss, it leaves a tingle to the lips, which is quite enjoyable.
