Don't Buy Into The Hype Moonies!

So my New Mooners, the time is close at hand and my midnight showing ticket is zipped safely in my wallet. There has been alot of promotion poopping up, and this includes new lines of merchandise, one being a line of Volturi cosmetics...My interest was immediately piqued.

If it's not my money being spent, I'll take the opportunity to drop the odd eyeshadow or two in the basket. I had such an opportunity this past saturday and decided to pick up the Volturi Enrapture Arsenic Sheer Lip Gloss. As you can see it comes in a charming little flip case with a gothic grate design on the front. The description boasts that this gloss is Vitamin E enriched...yeah we'll get to that later. Don't be intimidated by it's black colour, it doesn't go on like that. For $12 (I KNOW?! that's why I'm glad it wasn't my cash!) you get a sweet smelling sheer gloss that has a hint of gold in it.

POSITIVES
1.It goes on very smooth, I reccommend using a brush and not your fingertips, it doesn't go on your lips well when you use your fingers and you might end up using it all way too fast.

2.The scent is so lovely. I don't eat licorice but this product smells like licorice wrapped in sugar. I wish there was a candle out there that smelled like this!

NEGATIVES
1.For something that is 12 bucks, it doesn't last long! (that's what she said!) You seriously have to reapply this maybe 15 minutes after you put it on. I'm all about moisture and I have a cheap $5 tub of gloss that keeps my lips soft and moist for a good hour. If you like long term coverage, this is so not the business

2. If you have darker lips like mine then stay away because there is a light black tint to it and it makes my lips look...for lack of a better word, wierd.

3.Gold shimmer my butt. Even if you put this on top of a coloured gloss, you see no shimmer.

So the negatives outweigh the positives, and when you like the case more than the gloss, you know there's a problem. Seriously don't buy into this hype. Stick with the t-shirts, jewlery and stuffed jacob dolls. This gloss = MAJOR FAIL...can you tell by the unhappy face!?

However be excited for tomorrow, the claws will come out MIDNIGHT!
