Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Oil Review

bee better...

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] The first thing to note about Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Oil is that it has a lightly honey-ish scent and flavour. I'm not massively a honey fan but the Corsican honey is mild and delicate so it's not troublesome. The other thing to know is that there is a colour amplification element - eosin (a dye) interacts with the pH on your lips to give more colour than you'll see in these pictures. How sumptuous do these look, all lined up? These are summer lollipop colours and are a treat just to look at.

From left to right: Lavender Glow (my favourite) and Pop Rose Glow.

Again, left to right: Peach Glow and Honey Glow.

From bottom to top: Pop Rose Glow, Lavender Glow, Honey Glow and Peach Glow. In texture, these feel very cushiony but I will say that if you aren't a lip gloss fan, they're not for you. There's a hold element built into the formula that isn't sticky but you definitely know it's there. Speaking of the formula, the Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Oils aren't just a fancy gloss - they've got some serious lip care built in with honey, royal jelly, rosehip oil and propolis. A good indicator to me of whether there is an active 'caring' element is how my lips feel after I've swatched several. Sometimes, I am balming for days afterwards (I've got some matte lipsticks from Revlon to try and I'm slightly dreading it...) but in this instance my lips feel better than they did before I tried them.

Lovely Lavender Glow.

Peach Glow hasn't given me much initial colour but if you have naturally pale lips you will have a far better effect.

Pop Rose Glow is also great for anyone with paler complexions that allow the rosy shade to shine.

And Honey Glow. The thing that's attractive about Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Oil across the board (there are six shades) is the magnificent light reflectivity that you get. Your lips just look deliciously plump and smooth and I cannot complain about that. They're £34 each but I've found them on Escentual for £28.90 HERE. I forgot to swatch Poppy Glow so I'll remedy that asap.
