Hello, I hope you're all well. Today I'm sharing one of my absolute favourite glosses and I'm really sad these don't exist anymore.  Last week, I wrote about the Jonathan Saunders collaboration with 17 if you missed it, but read on for the gloss of my dreams. These are the Too Faced Glamour Gloss, which launched in 2010.  I found a few of my old blog posts mentioning them and there I said the UK only had 6 of the available 12 shades (when they first launched anyway).  Another post compared them to MAC Plushglass, which they are very similar to. Glamour Gloss are a volumizing gloss with "Lip Injection comfort plump", the plumping lipgloss TF are renowned for. However, they are definitely on the comfortable side, they are nothing like LI in my opinion, which is a stinging, burning plumper. GG have a minty cooling effect on the lips, with zero sting, but your lips definitely did feel plumped. The finish is so glossy and moisturising that it adds to that feeling of fuller lips. They smell so yummy though, it always reminded me of cookie dough...I don't know if it's just supposed to be vanilla. The MAC ones smelt exactly the same and felt very like these. MAC don't make Plushglass any longer either, as they have a new plumping lipgloss called Powerglass (which I do like, but not as much as Plushglass).

Glamour Gloss certainly lives up to it's name, in terms of packaging. A pink metallic lid with a large jewel on the end and you can see the colour of the gloss through the tube. They came with a wand applicator with small brush on the end.

Mine are so old now (and there's not much left as I used these loads) that they've discoloured, but the shades here were Pillow Talk, First Time and Sex Pot. I swatched them, but they are completely different compared to my swatches in that post (linked at the top) from 2011. I really, really wish they still made these. They felt so pleasant on the lips, I loved the colours and that cooling sensation and the yummy scent! Do you remember these?
