Fenty Beauty Universal Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer | Review

Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Fenty Beauty Universal Gloss Bomb, this is the only shade they have and it’s called Fenty Glow.

I am a SUCKER for this kind of product, when they say they are universally flattering I’m all in I don’t know why I wanted this gloss ever since it came out but 18$ for a gloss sounded like a lot.

If you saw the review of the Fenty Beauty Hu$tla Baby Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter you would already know what I’m about to say but n case you didn’t: I got this gloss in a kit with that highlighter because it was a better investment than just one of them. (You can check that post for the full story).

You can get the same kit I have here for 23$ or the gloss full size here for 18$.

THE KIT

I love the fact that this kit exists: Julia has it (she got it in London a while back) so I knew it was going to come here too. I really wanted the gloss but 18$ for a just the gloss was too much for me, this kit is 23$ and I get the mini highlighter too.

On a side note when I got the other duo I couldn’t decide between that shade or this one, but Mean Money (the other half of the full size) swatched really badly. So I’m quite happy that with this kit I was able to get half of the highlighter I wanted, plus the gloss that I wanted for a really great price.PACKAGING

The packaging is very classic for a lip gloss. I really like the rose gold cup and overall it feels fancy.

The doe foot applicator is HUGE even if this is the mini. Actually, about that, this is a VERY generous mini, the bottle is 5.5ml and just so you know, a lot of glosses that are full size comes with 5ml or less.

FUN FACT: this is the only pentagon shaped item in the Fenty Line, everything else is a hexagon, don’t know why but I thought I could share that. (Credits to Julia who noticed it)

The scent is very strong and sweet, it’s like fruity caramel, it honestly reminds me of the gloss I used when I was a kid. It’s not bad but it’s very heavy.

APPLICATION

The gigantic doe foot makes it super easy to apply in one swipe, it doesn’t pick up too much product.

COLOUR & EFFECT

The shade is a muted warm-toned rosy nude with shimmer, very pretty and flattering on most skin tones. Once you apply it, it’s basically sheer shimmer with a hint of nude.

It’s very glossy, it gives a wet glow to the lips and that very plumped effect. It’s not sticky or gloopy.

It doesn’t change the colour of what you apply underneath but I prefer to use it alone.

SWATCH

LASTING POWER

This lipgloss lasts for 2 hours on me (without eating), since it’s so shiny I wasn’t expecting an incredible lasting time, but you can reapply it very easily.

RATING:

• Colour: 9/10
• Longevity: 7/10
• Application: 8/10
• Comfort: 8/10
• Scent: 8/10
• Packaging: 10/10

GRADE: A 

I love this gloss, I like the formula since is so creamy and shiny, I like the packaging, it’s comfortable and perfect for everyday wear, I’ve been keeping it in my purse since I got it. I think it’s a nice product to have, not a must, I mean is just a gloss but I can’t deny how much I’ve been using it, I’ve been pairing with more dark smokey eyes and with simpler everyday looks. I’m so glad I got this kit, such a great value for money.
