QUO LIPSTICKS AND GLOSS

I received as a gift some lipsticks by QUO as well as a lip gloss and wanted to share with you all, so lets have a look

The first lipstick is VA VOOM, this is a very rich, red brown like a brick. This reminds me slightly of Revlon's "Toast of New York", but a bit darker.

VA VOOM

The dark shades in the Quo line are very pigmented and wear for a standard amount of time before a touch up is required.

 

 

I do find the next colour which is POPPY PAVOT a bit drying to the lips. I don't know if it's because of the shimmer in this particular one, because I don't find that with Va voom.

The last colour which I really like of the three is called BELLE DE JOUR which is a pretty champagne nude colour that has frost finish. Normally I am not a huge fan of frost finishes for lipsticks but this works well for this colour.

Oddly this lighter shade and maybe in part due to the finish is glides on very smooth and feels more moisturizing on the lips then the others.

All the lipsticks have a similar scent reminiscent to Mac lipsticks which I do enjoy.

 

Lipsticks are 3g and cost $15 they come housed in a solid, modern, acrylic squared tube and you can see the colour at the bottom, so no need to open before buying.

 

 

Lastly is the lip gloss in the colour HUSH SECRET This is a gentle nude pink that looks much darker in the tube then once on the lip. It has a slight shimmer finish, but adds more shine and not a ton of shimmer which at times can look unpleasant if it's to much.

 

 

 

This gloss is applied with a brush applicator which is not my favorite, but any way. You can build the colour up or leave it subtle. It has a scent that reminds me of fall and creamy candy corn or some sort of candy.

I do find it is a bit sticky to the touch, but wears well.

 

I overall like the Quo lipsticks and glosses that I have purchased in the past, I do find for me personally it's a bit pricey. However I do like the sturdy packaging that Quo products come in. Its a simple yet affective design.

 

The gloss comes in a 6g and is around $14

 

A close substitute for this gloss which is a bit darker but not much is

 

Bath and Body Works LipLicious called VANILLA WHIP which is just a touch more glossy but the colours are similar. The LipLiscious are 14ml/.47fl oz $8
