Beauty Review: Prescriptives Custom Blend Lip Gloss (Online Order)

I took advantage of the 30% off at Prescriptives.com and ordered a Custom Blend Lip Gloss. I've always wanted to try it since their custom blend foundation worked out so well for me (I didn't buy it b/c it was $60 and they won't even just give me a sample to try it, I mean, they mixed a whole damn jar, might as well give some to me and not waste it? bitches).

The formula I put in is as followed:
Base Color: Light Fuchsia
Finish: Luster (equal parts of pearl and pigment)
Flavor: Bellini

There are only 3 choices you can make online, the base, finish and flavor. Also you get to see a picture of what the outcome would look like.


The cap is a pull off and the tube is soft, so you can squeeze it. I like the applicator, it's big enough for my lips. You can twist the applicator off. I LOVE that it's a twist off, because I am so ready to mix my own lipgloss now. I've always wanted something like this, because some of my tube lipglosses are nice but I hate the applicator, and I've always wondered if I could just squeeze it out to a custom applicator that I like... Since I hate pot lipglosses (always get my finger dirty), I love love love tube lipglosses. Not the ones with wands, there is nothing you can do there - for example, my Kiehl's Lipgloss in Pink Rider is my absolutely favorite in terms of color and textur, but the damn applicator is so small, it takes 3 mins to spread the lipgloss on my lips evenly. hmmm... I see a lipgloss transfering in the near future..


The shimmer is gold, I think it's a little too big for my taste. If I had a choice, I wouldn't choose gold to be put int the fuchsia, so ordinary. The texture is like a very very very sheer lipgloss, reminds me of the ones you get in drug stores, Bonne Belle or something? I used to use those watermelon flavored ones when I was younger.
The Bellini flavor is ok. Not over powering, but at the same time, I wouldn't mind doing without it. It taste like peachy fruity flavor.
Once I wiped the lipgloss off, the gold shimmer was still there, everywhere! on my lips, my chin and around my mouth. I hate those lipglosses!!! It's not tacky enough, no sticking power and definitely won't be in my purse..... until I fix it somehow. I'm looking for a sticky clear or similar color gloss to mix with, so at least the lipgloss won't slide off.

My rating - 2.5 out of 5

It was fun and cool to make your own lipgloss, but I suggest you go to an actual counter, so you have more choices. For $20, this better be YOUR damn lipgloss that NO ONE can replicate. For now, I will just for the tube.
