The allure of Gucci Beauty’s Gloss à Lèvres has captured the attention of beauty enthusiasts, promising a plump, ultra-glazed pout. Sheilla Mamona explores whether this new lip gloss lives up to the hype and if it’s truly worth the splurge.
Gucci’s Gloss à Lèvres Promise: Gucci Beauty’s Gloss à Lèvres, the brand’s inaugural lip gloss, boasts a blend of qualities—plumpness, ultra-glaze, and hydration. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, the gloss promises long-lasting hydration, akin to a revitalizing sip of water for the lips. The secret to its tingling kick lies in a unique blend of ginger roots and capsicum extract, designed to provide an instant plumping effect.
