Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Huda Beauty Lip Strobe in the shade Fearless. This is a metallic lip gloss in a purple shade.
I got this in a box with multiple products, and to be honest, this is not the kind of shade I would buy. Purple lips are not cute on me, but, as always, I can test the formula. Since purples are always harder to make, it will be a good test to see how this formula works.
This is the first product I tried from Huda Beauty because even if their products are really pretty, they usually fit a make up vibe that I’m not really into.
You can get it from Sephora for 18$
COLOUR
On the website, the shade is described as purple with copper-gold reflections.
PACKAGING
The Huda Beauty Lip Strobe comes in a skinny tube with a hard plastic material. Mine is smaller because it’s a mini, but it’s really pretty in my opinion.
The doe-foot applicator is AMAZING. It’s tiny and it has a point, which makes it super easy and precise to use. It picks up the perfect amount of product.
The scent is a bit tricky for me. It smells good like vanilla, but as soon as you put it on, it has a weird after taste that is kind of disgusting.
FORMULA
The formula is very pigmented and it’s impossible to get a sheer look. It’s not sticky, though, which is nice.
Despite the purple colour, I don’t find it patchy at all, but it leaves a pretty stain behind once it fades.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
On me, this lip gloss lasts about 2 hours without eating, but it doesn’t set into fine lines. As I said, it leaves a pretty stain behind which makes it last longer.
RATING:
- Colour: 6/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Comfort: 8/10
- Scent: 6/10
- Packaging: 10/10
GRADE: B+
I like this gloss. I like the effect and the formula, the packaging is amazing, the applicator is one of the best out there. The colour is not my favourite, but that’s a personal preference. She has plenty more. The scent/taste really bothers me, which is why I won’t get another one (you know how iffy I am with scents). Also, I’m not usually a fan of really pigmented formulas and I usually go for more sheer ones.

Great review! I do think the color looks nice on you but yes I wouldn’t wear it as well, I would go for a nude :p I am not interested to try these lip glosses to be honest, Idk, huda beauty’s products don’t look appealing to me :p
Mimi dice
Same, I think they are too expensive for what they are and they are also targeted to more “Instagram make up” type of looks which I don’t like at all
Joy dice
yes exactly!

But I think it looks amazing on you, Mimi! It’s definitely a shade I would buy.
Mimi dice
Aww thank you honey! It would be beautiful on you!

I’m with you on this one. Purple isn’t a color I naturally gravitate towards (for lips anyway). I like your honest review of the pros and cons.
Mimi dice

Erica dice
Oh wow, that looks amazing! I’d be a bit afraid to wear it too though! Never worn purple on my lips before.
Mimi dice
Me neither (outside the house that is ?)

This is very cool! Love how it looks on you (: but understandable that it’s just not your thing. I feel that way about a lot of glosses
Mimi dice
Dark color and glossy? That’s too scary even for me haha
Rachel dice
This color is truly STUNNING! I don’t think I could pull it off but you absolutely do!
Mimi dice
Awww thank you! I’m not really fully convinced ?
