Review & Swatches: Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Glossy Shinestick in Melon Out



Shown in Melon Out (jelly pink)

I didn't notice it until I really looked up close, but there are actually blue shimmers in the lipstick/gloss hybrid.

Pros
- Moisturizing
- Creamy texture
- Natural shine
- Buildable color (up to a certain point)

Cons
- Bullet doesn't twist all the way down
- Settles into the fine lines of lips slightly

Value
$7 for 0.06 oz / 1.9 g
VS Beauty Rush line is usually on sale for 2/$12 or 4/$20

Verdict
Overall: A-
I wouldn't consider it "glossy" per se, but the texture and shine of these are lovely for summer, almost like a lip balm, lipstick, and gloss in one. Although it does settle into the fine lines of my lips, it is not very noticeable unless you really look up close with a mirror. The color Melon Out is actually a little bit of a bright pink, but for the summer and spring it can look very fresh and brighten up your whole face. I am not 100% sure these are still sold in VS since they come out with new products every now and then to replace the old ones, but if you see these, they are definitely worth a try.
All it needs now is some SPF.

Repurchase?
Yes, if I ever use it up.
