Posh Gloss

I purchased two shades- Poolside and Martini directly from her site before she came to Nordstrom. I'm very picky about lip gloss and I was pleasantly surprised by these. They apply beautifully, you don't need a mirror to reapply, the packaging is luxe.. all glass components (except for the applicator). The applicator is really good and it grabs the perfect amount of gloss so you rarely need a second application unless you're really going for some extra shine. I will note, I read the other comments and someone mentioned that their glosses have a really bad chemical smell and taste.. that is not normal at all. Mine are not like that whatsoever, they have no noticeable scent or taste at all.. and I just applied them right now so I could see if I noticed any discernible odor etc, but they're fine. I hope she returned them and got replacements sent out because they're very lovely (when they haven't expired/gone rancid), and not to mention, they're not cheap either. This brand (and countless others) have fallen for the "clean beauty" standards which is actually far worse for our makeup and skincare (and in turn our bodies) because they go bad far more quickly for a variety of reasons- such as sitting in a warehouse with extreme temperature differences, plus they don't have proper ingredients that keep bacteria from forming and growing in it. And unfortunately I think that is what's happened with hers. I hope she got replacements for them because they really are gorgeous glosses.
