I would like to start off by saying that I did not have very high expectations for these at all. I had read many reviews online before purchasing, some of them good but a lot of them bad! However, I figured if I ordered them and they didn't work well as lipsticks, I would at least have some new lip glosses I could use.
Quality: 4/5
The reason I gave these a 4 out of 5 is because they really don't perform that well as lipsticks. They tend to go on pretty sheer, which I kind of figured would happen. I found that with the deeper colors though, they gave a lot more of a color pay off. The formula of it was pretty good too, it went on a little on the thick side (which I really like), and felt great on the lips. It wasn't too sticky, but it made your lips feel really nice and smooth! It also had a kind of...pepperminty feel when I put it on. It didn't taste or smell like peppermint, but it made the lips tingle. It was very very slight, nothing like a lip plumper at all. It was kind of refreshing! The smell of the product is also pretty nice, too. The website's describe of the product claims that it is long lasting. I would have to disagree with this, as it wears more like a gloss and is not like a lipstick or stain at all.
Price/Value: 5/5
For $1.00, I honestly have nothing to complain about. Although the color pay off was a bit of a let down, it can still function as a really nice gloss. I doubt I would be able to find a gloss of similar quality for the same price tag, so that's why this gets a 5 out of 5 on this one.
Packaging: 3/5
The only thing I don't really like about these is the packaging. I'm not a fan of the twist bottoms to get the product out. I had to twist it at least 20 times the first time I used them, and I was freaked out that I would twist too much and it would waste a bunch of product. Also, not really liking the white fuzzy applicator...I find that it absorbs a lot of product and ends up wasting quite a bit of it.
Final Thoughts:
I would more then likely buy these again, just because they are so inexpensive and work great as glosses. The color pay off is very sheer, but I think this can be a good thing! You can wear them alone (for a little hint of color) or on top of a lipstick for a unique color combination. My favorite out of the three I bought would have to be perfect pink, as it gave me just the right amount of pink.
Overall Score: 12/15
