I'm Burning for You

Peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss is way too strong for me

Hello, Gorgeous!

Last fall, I wrote about Peripera Ink Lip Tint, and lots of you took notice. I received a notes and emails from people intrigued enough to try it. And you lovelies seemed very determined to let me know if you loved or hated it (the responses were mostly raves).

This time, let’s talk about Peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss. It’s fire. Literally.

Peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss

I don’t tend to write negative reviews. I figure there are enough people out there eager to rag on people or products that they don’t like. My preference is to share interesting tidbits or products that I love or think you’ll love. Which leads me to feeling conflicted about Peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss. I love this product but can’t use it. But I still want to tell you about it.

• The gloss factor on this product is absolutely stunning. I mean the tiniest moonbeams of shimmer swirled into a slightly thick but not tacky gloss. Chef’s kiss for design.

• It burns. OMG does this stuff burn. I’m pretty sure we’ve discussed the early iterations of lip plumping products with names like venom and snake. Many, those products hurt, but it was early days for plumping products and injectables were not yet a thing. This lip gloss is retro in that way.

I applied some, and before I could even admire the look and lustre of my lips, I felt like I needed to hose them down. The pain was so immediate and intense that I didn’t just wipe off this product, I blotted it off so that I was sure not to rub it in any deeper. And then I used coconut oil to remove any residue.

That said, some of us like spicy foods. Some don’t. I’m in the latter category for nosh and gloss. But you might love to feel the burn.

Peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss is about $6.00 on Amazon right now if you’re brave enough to try it out! And the Glasting part isn’t a typo. I’m guessing it’s a portmanteau of gloss+lasting.

And some random info. Peripera is inspired by the Korean phrase peri-pera which means pretty pretty.

So are you brave enough to try it out or do you plan on skipping this one? Let’s meet in the comment section to discuss!
