If you haven't heard, Pacifica is a cruelty-free, all vegan cosmetic company that sales borderline luxury makeup. (What I mean by that is they are more expensive than ELF but way less expensive than somewhere like Juice Beauty).
May I start by saying that Pacifica's packaging of this product is so cute? Maybe I'm just super visual, but I really like the way Pacifica products look.
let's take a look at what Pacifica claims about this product:
Supernatural shine, super smooth and non-sticky with nourishing hydration and long lasting natural color. Infused with coconut oil and antioxidants to help support superior lip health. Formulated without phthalates, parabens, sulfates, propylene, glycol, mineral oil, petroleum, peanut oil, triclosan, vegan and cruelty-free. It also mentions on the package it is "formulated without carmine, talc, parabens and petroleum."
I was pretty happy with the color of this gloss, which is called Ravish. It's a good color for my light skin, looks naturally burgundy/reddish without being overpowering. It is really sparkly and shiny, which I don't personally care for, but looks quality.

Unfortunately, that is about where the thrill of this product ends. Remember the claim this stuff was non-sticky? Well that was a big fib. Maybe I am just not used to wearing lip gloss, but this stuff is seriously sticky. A little bit like putting glue on your lips. Every time I open my mouth to speak it was like pulling open a sticky door frame.
As for the wear of this product, I really haven't worn it enough to know exactly how long it lasts, but considering that my lips stayed sticky for a quite a while, I would say it lasted at least a few hours.
Overall, I was a little disappointed in this product, however, seeing as I don't care for heavy lipstick, I will still probably use it sparingly when I want to wear a little something, as I like the color.
Thanks for tuning in!
Peace. Love. Rats♥
