Flori RobertsLuscious Lip Lacquer, Vibrant Lip Gloss Makeup for Women of Color or Deeper Skin Tones, Non-Sticky, Long Wear High Shine Finish

I really like the pinky nude color, it wears like most liquid lips. It didn’t blow me away, it was just really pretty and I use it often. Sometimes liquid lips feel a little sticky to me, sometimes they don’t, I find it definitely depends on the condition of my lips as well, and if they are chapped, I need a gloss on top to make the formula feel more comfortable (although that naturally decreases the color longevity). Very typical findings! Very pretty though!

While this is marketed to darker skin shades, many of the colors will work with all skin types depending on what look you desire. The vanilla cream color in this works as a nude shade for me.This goes on slightly tacky on my lips. It looks pretty and gives me an understated look since it's rather nude on me, but it only lasts about average, which for me isn't all that long (I'm hard on lip product apparently). The scent on this is very subtle (mildly fruity and floral) and doesn't linger. I like this but wish it had just a bit less tacky feeling.As with the vast majority of lip products, this contains titanium dioxide, which is something I wish cosmetics would phase out of lip products since we ingest some.Ingredients: ​Diisostearyl Malate, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Polybutene, Mica, Squalane, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), ParfumMay Contain: Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499), Titanium Dioxide, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate

I got this in Rum Raisin, which is a deep burgundy shade. It has more pigmentation than the average gloss, but is still semi-sheer and wearable. It will be a nice autumn lip color on days where I don’t feel like wearing a lipstick or tint. The formula is a little thick and sticky, but it is also relatively long lasting for a gloss. It has a vanilla scent, but I can’t detect any flavor. It is a little on the expensive side, but definitely looks and performs like a luxury item.

Review: Flori Roberts Luscious Lip Lacquer - Sparkling RoseI think the color is incredible. Like the color you'd imagine healthy natural lips would have. I have relatively pale lips so I like a bit of a tint but as I'm getting older, I'm realizing the days of matte lip colors is over. This one looks like a gloss but goes on like liquid lipstick. It feels heavier than my standard gloss. It does have a shiny finish but I feel it stays put longer. Not sure of the staying power though because it transferred off when I did the kiss test on the back of my hand. Overall lovely color on its own but I can totally picture it layered over a brown shade and looking incredible (ombre lips).

Pretty color, but it is stickier than I like.

This Flori Roberts Luscious Lip Lacquer is really pretty! I got sparkling rose and I love the color. It goes on smoothly and it doesn't feel sticky. It's moisturizing and it leaves a beautiful pink shade on my lips.

I was really looking forward to this Flori Roberts colored lip gloss but the moment I opened it to slick it across my lips it spilled out everywhere in a big glob of goop that got everywhere. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed in the outcomeSo moving forward....this brand is made for women of color by a woman of color but the colors are just so beautiful that as a woman of non color I had to try the shade Sparkling Rose which is gorgeous. I used my finger to collect some of the product from the spillage and applied it to my lips. It felt so smooth and luxurious on and the color is so pretty. I sure wish it would have held up because I would be using this one a lot. Unfortunately the product wasn't salvageable and I had to discard of it....I would have given it five stars if it were usable

So, I didn't realize that this lip gloss is intended for women with darker skin. That is not me. I'm pretty pale. but I still like this gloss! It's a nice color, and goes on thick, but fairly sheer. It lasts nicely.The applicator is long and slightly curved, making it easy to apply the gloss.The bottle closes tightly and it doesn't push product out when you close it, like some lip glosses do. It's very tidy and works well.There's not much scent or taste to it at all.No complaints.
