New Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm Review And Swatches

July 26, 2022

Hourglass is one of my most loved makeup brands and I love sheer, glossy lip products. So when Hourglass came out with the Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm, I had to try them. I love hydrating lipstick more than matte ones. I do love the look of a matte lipstick. But for day to day I prefer glossy, balm type of hydrating, nourishing lipsticks.

The Sephora website says this is “An innovative, all-in-one lip gloss-balm that nourishes, hydrates, and visibly plumps lips while delivering full-bodied color with a dewy, high-shine finish.”

They say, you can never have too many lipsticks. I think that is true, especially for a lipstick lover like me. I love nude lipsticks. And I have an insane amount of nude lipsticks.

Another random fun fact for you. A group of bunnies is called a fluffle. Baby bunnies are called kittens. Just how cute is that! For today's look I paired Taupe Eyeshadow and Pink Lipstick. I loved the end result. What do you think?
