AOA Magical Girl Iridescent Lip Gloss

There was a lipgloss, a clear gloss with tiny sparkles in it, that I used to wear almost every day. It was a great, non-sticky formula- clear, with multi-colored tiny glitter. When I could afford it, I would buy multiple tubes of it years ago at a cosmetics store that starts with an “S.” It cost around $20 a tube. I wore it with a neutral lip liner for day. It was a great look- just a little glitter, not over the top, and lots of shine. I got a ton of compliments when I wore that gloss. It was sadly discontinued in the early 2000s, and I have been looking for a replacement gloss since, but never found one. Until- I tried these glosses on Miss A. The prices were unbeatable, of course. I ordered Nishida, a clear gloss with icy blue micro-glitter, and Yosei, clear with pinkish-gold micro-glitter. When my Miss A order arrived, I found to my delight that these Magical Girl lip glosses, layered, were a perfect dupe for that long-lost pricey glitter gloss I loved so much. Often when you purchase glosses like these, the glitter is so scanty it doesn’t show up, or it is so chunky you can feel it on your lips. This gloss has the perfect level of glitter, and you can’t feel it on your lips. If you want a more glittery look, you can build up this gloss to make it more sparkly. And the sparkles are so super fine that the gloss is never garish or cheap looking. As soon as I tried on the Magical Girl gloss, I immediately went back to Miss A, and ordered multiple more tubes of it. I’ve been shopping at the makeup store with an S since they opened, and I have worn many, many glitter glosses, and I’m telling you- this product is every bit as good- or better than- glosses that cost twenty times its price. You can bet I’m stocking up while I can! The formula is not sticky, but it does feel slick on the lips, and is very moisturizing. I would recommend wearing this gloss with a lip primer, and/or a lipliner, to keep it from creeping. But you are going to need to do that with a $30 couture brand glitter gloss. I can detect neither scent nor taste in these glosses. Just a lot of gorgeous, gorgeous sparkle. VERY impressed with this product!

This shimmer gloss is everything. It's pairs so well with color lipsticks

Beautiful color

Cute and shiny

I love every single color! It is more glittery than iridescent shimmer. The reddish tube has a warm coral-pink hue and the purple is plum with bright green glitter. It's gorgeous! I wanted the set mostly for the white iridescent glitters to use as toppers, but the colorful ones surprised me!
