Calvin Klein Delicious Pout Flavoured Lipgloss Review Swatch on Lips + Update !

Hi Guys :D 

Just going to give you a short little review on
Calvin Kleins Delicious Pout Lipgloss in Colour Fiesta 403?
I'm actually rushing this a little as im packing for my holiday and
i want a really devine sleep tonight cause we'll be on the road in a few hours.
Anyway back to the review :D
I'm going to start with a sumarized product description from the internet
all i could find online was this

"Delicious Pout adds a transparent, weightless shine with a hint of flavor that is so sparkly, so shiny and so utterly gorgeous.

This delicious gloss, enriched with a subtle flavour is formulated with vitamins E and C.

Dermatologist tested "

And heres my SLR taken photo of my ck lipgloss

I do hand on heart believe this formula is a good one for damaged and dry lips as vitamin e helps to soothe and moisturize.
I work around vitamins so it's a really good formula coming from somebody who knows
But.....
Just like most other glosses it has unsavory ingredients that appear on the back.
that doesnt bother me too much, but if your paying extra for a quality brand such as CK.
(which is a quality brand, i'll explain later why i think so with the foundation).
you'd expect to see less chemicals in it? no? maybe its just me :'(.

I wear this lipgloss sometimes like at work :)!, but i prefer to layer it over a nude for a glossy effect.
The shade Fiesta Is pictured as a bright corally fuschiaish colour.
and theres flecks of gold and glitter in the gloss itself (suitable for warm toned skins :) ) which you can see through the tube.

Sounds so amazing right?! :D
But... sorry guys, i swatched it on the back of my hand and suprise! the gloss has little to any pigment in it.
no point at all to swatch to anybody as you will not be able to see anything otherthan a slight gloss and minimal gold shimmer.
So the colour expectation completely goes out the window.
Not a problem at all if you was expecting something sheer.
as it really is sheer, more like a MLBB (my lips but better) what you could expect from any clear gloss with flecks in it

Now for the consistanty,
the consistantcy of the gloss is a medium-thick almost jelly type sticky application,
The tube can confuse you into thinking its a twisty, but its not you have to pull it,
And application of the product is tricky as you will need a brush or something to get a less Jello Look to your lips.
I hate that look, but if you like it im sure its not a problem at all :).

and last but not least,
The flavouring side of the lipgloss.
Well, what can i say i dont eat my glosses lol?
but the 'flavour' is a bland chemicaly organic smelling one.
Mine smells a bit like watermelon but if you get some on your teeth by accident.
(ive done this several times cause of the tube shape).
You will notice that its a bittery chemical taste D; and you wont like the scent or much of the texture again



Heres a picture of me wearing it on my lips, its so sheer it wasnt worth a hand shot. 


So i'm going to End with my main end point review.

Good points:
Vitamins C + E to protect your lips from free radicals and also helps with moisturizing your lips much longer than conventional 'jello' like glosses.
A BIG 12ML (0.4fl) WORTH OF PRODUCT! which is enough to send you ladies drooling as many lipglosses contain as little as 2-5ml these days.
Scent not too overpowering and certainly isnt the icky floral type scented type.
Can be cheap so low on $$££
Very suitable for teenagers, the workplace and formal events.

Neutral points:
Flavoured, as some people hate it and some people love it.
Melon Scent.

and now for the not so good points:
Not a good colour pay off at all, very sheer which is disapointing if you brought for the colour in the tube
Can be expensive depending on if CK is not on offer in your country.
Normal medium type sticky formula which can irritate people like me with longer hair
Overal
I'd say its a quality product with many good ingredients that some brands do not contain
and is worth the money i paid for it.
not going to buy again seeing as theres little to any colour pay off, and i'd rather try my luck elsewhere.
So i'll Give this product
 3 out of 5 hearts, Rather good but not lovely
have you tried this gloss? do you recomend another brand?? :D
love to hear from you <3 x

PS: might be a while till my next post as i said im holidaying, i will get straight back down to business once im back though! i'll be back next weekend <33 keeped locked in for more of my posts.

    And it's too bad the colour payoff reeallyy wasn't what was expected: the colour looks so gorgeous in the tube. :/

    Still, I guess everyone can use a MLBB sometime, eh? Awesome review, missy: the detail's wonderful~.
