Lancome Color Fever Gloss in Hotness

I don't know how I do it– whenever I walk into a department store, I always seem to end up in the same place: the cosmetics department. Don't judge me– it's an illness. 

Anyway, one day while I was browsing in Nordstroms, I ended up at (where else?) the Lancome counter. As I wandered through the lipgloss section, swatching and admiring the colors, I came across one lipgloss that I immediately fell in love with. I snatched the lipgloss up, headed toward the register, and bought it, all the while admiring it's peachy-pink shade. On the ride home, I applied the gloss to my lips, really excited about my new find. After about two months of wear, I've finally come to a conclusion on Lancome's Color Fever Gloss in Hotness, and wanted to share my thoughts...

Pros-

*The color: pinky-peach with a cream finish. Ahhh! So lovely. It compliments almost everyone's skintone, and the shade looks great for any occasion. The color looks dupable, but after searching long and hard for a look-alike in my collection, I came to find that Lancome's Color Fever Gloss in Hotness has no competitors. 

*Lancome's Color Fever Gloss isn't sticky. Or, let me put it this way: if it were a cold, windy day, half of my hair wouldn't be glued to my lips. You can definitely feel the gloss, but it doesn't have that annoying tacky feeling. In fact, I'd say the texture's quite nice.

*I like how Lancome packaged their Color Fever Glosses. The gloss is packaged in a rectangular tube that runs thinner at the bottom. The twistable cap is in a square shape with Lancome's signature flower on top, and below the cap is a thick ribbon of mirrored silver. The lipgloss looks sleek, and despite its bulky top, the gloss is really easy to throw in your purse.

*Instead of the typical doe-foot applicator, Lancome opted for a slanted, triangular wand. Like I said in my Loreal Infallible review, this makes the gloss easier to use because the more pressure you apply to the wand, the heavier the gloss applies to your lips. 

*Lancome's Color Fever Gloss in Hotness smells sooo gooood! Lancome made this gloss have a great rose scent that doesn't smell fake or cheap. And the rose scent doesn't just stay in the tube– the rose scent transfers to your lips and stays there until you rub the gloss off. It makes the products seem very high-end, and luxurious to apply.

Cons-

*You guys know how I am when it comes to prices. I am very picky. As a student with an allowance of $20.00 a month, it's pretty obvious I'm not in the best financial situation. So when a lipgloss costs more than $20.00, I just sit there and grit my teeth. Lancome isn't obnoxiously expensive, but their prices aren't exactly wallet-friendly, either. This lipgloss alone was $26.00, so I don't know about repurchasing.... Ugh, the price kind of ticks me off.

*I've also noticed that after a few hours of wear, this lipgloss settles into the fine lines on my lips. I mean, it's not a huge deal, but it makes me somewhat self-conscious .

All in all, I am really, really, really happy with Lancome's Color Fever Gloss in Hotness. In fact, I think it's my favorite lipgloss in my collection. Overall, I'd give this lipgloss a 10/10. The color is gorgeous and flattering, and the scent is fabulous! Thank you, Lancome, for bringing this lipgloss in my life.
