Soap & Glory Loved and Glossed

Soap and Glory have a pretty comprehensive Christmas offering this year, from the usual bath and body sets to sets of their makeup.  This Loved & Glossed tin contains three sheer Sexy Mother Pucker gloss sticks.

I do wish they'd find a new lip-based pun.  Sexy Mother Pucker was funny the first few times, now it's sort of lost it's drama.  Anyway, there are three shades included - Nudist (unsurprisingly, a nude), Fuschia-Ristic (unsurprisingly, a fuschia) and Plum Jam (I think you can work this one out for yourself).

The packaging is nice - sleek, basic black, with colour coded strips on the bottom so you don't get them mixed up in your makeup bag.  Worth mentioning that it's an absolute bugger getting them out of the black plastic tray - I chipped my nail polish trying to pry them out.

The crayons are chunky, with pointed tips to allow for a more precise application around the edges of the lip.

And yes, the fuschia shade looks strangely and terrifyingly orange in the tube.  Never fear, though...

What looks orange in the stick turns out to be a lovely light and bright pink when swatched.  Nudist is a pretty standard nude, but Plum Jam is a rich but still wearably sheer berry colour.

Texture wise. they're soft and hydrating, although given the glossiness and the softness, you do need to top up regularly.  At £16, this set is a good pick for those who like their lip colours soft and natural, or for those who are just experimenting with lip colours other than nude.  Find it now at Boots.
