Castledew Over Setting Gloss

I went minor spring-cleaning my "lips compartment" of my cosmetic collection recently and unearthed my long-neglected Castledew Over Setting Gloss. I still love them very much but is currently in a lipstick and stain phase, thus my lip glosses are left untouched for quite a while. Once again, I did not realise I've collected six of them (all from Beauty Language) over time, thus I decided to a review & swatch of all I own at this point.

Description of the "technology" of the gloss. Look at the doe foot applicator,
 it has a hole in the centre (to transport more gloss out each time) and it's bent
at a slight angle (make it easier to coat the gloss on my lips evenly)

 

My VOV Castledew Over Setting Glosses (from left to right):
#7, #12, #16, #26, #42 and #45



#7:Orchid Violet color with fine silver glitter 
#12: Peach Pink color with fine multi-color (golden coral) iridescence
#16: Pearly Nude color with extremely fine beige shimmer



#26: Pale Pink color with Lilac-pink iridescence
#42: Rose Pink color
#45: Mauve Beige color

Swatched (in the same order) in sunlight, see how glossy they are.
All swiped once or twice.

#7 and #26 are quite sheer, giving your lips a wash of color/iridescent. There a limit of how much color you can built up no matter how much you layer on. For the rest of the colors, they are pigmented, can be sheered out (but that will lessen the "high-shine" effect) with their doe-foot applicator that works very well. They are not sticky yet decently thick, feels luxurious to apply and are quite lasting. They do have a scent that I can't really pin down, they smell like cherry/plummy/candy. It's a pleasant scent generally, but there's definite a scent. There's a little likeness of their packaging to Jill Stuart's but I don't own any Jill Stuart's products, thus I'm not able to make a comparison.

Overall, these glosses (3.6g each) cost around $14 to $18 SGD and perform quite well to my liking. This is a product that I will repurchase in the future (after I make good progress in my "Project Hit Pan"). Something worth trying I will rate. Until I do a next review, stay radiant!
