Hello guys. I've been MIA for a few days. I did some traveling to unwind and recharge. I'm now back back, recharged and (hopefully) with more energy. I'm still feeling the after effects of (almost nonstop) walking these past days - sore muscles and sunburn. Still despite feeling physically tired, I have a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm. *_* With that positive vibe, I have a new review, featuring a lip gloss from Colourpop.

Wolfie can be described as a medium, rich plum red with gold shimmers. This has a metallic finish which is quite a departure from my usual style. I haven't worn anything metallic on my lips for years, nor purposely bought a lip gloss in a quite awhile. The metallic effect is actually very pretty and wearable and doesn't come off as gaudy nor cheap. The gold adds a depth of color that takes this rich hue to an edgier, cool chic level.

I was pleasantly surprised how pigmented this lip gloss is. Most glosses would only give you a sheer hint of color and a sprinkling of glitter but with this, you get a semi-opaque coverage with a single layer. The glossy base has a slightly thicker consistency and has enough pigment on it that it almost applied like a stain. The sparkling gold shimmers doesn't feel gritty (I don't actually notice them) because they are very fine.

This applied evenly with no settling on the lip lines and no patchiness whatsoever. The formula is very consistent and smooth and glided on my lips like butter.  I'd have reservations with this being a gloss and having a metallic finish but Colourpop has definitely lessened my aversion against the two that I am considering buying maybe a few more.

Adding to the list of positives is the fact that this gloss is relatively non-sticky. I didn't feel tacky and it's almost lightweight that I felt like I was wearing a (creamy) lipstick instead of a gloss. It does transfer a lot (which is expected) but at the same time, it's also moisturizing. It still looked good as new after a couple of hours. The shine wore off at the third hour and the color slowly faded/came off after that.
