Revolution Organics Freedom Gloss

12 Jul

Ok so for all of you ladies to fully get what I’m about to say, know this…..
Normally….I hate lip gloss. To quote Melissa from HoneyBee Gardens, who has this same problem only with mascara. “like a fish drawn to shiny things”, when I go to the store I’m like a magnet that gets sucked to the lip gloss display. I don’t normally buy however, I’ve learned my lesson, a million times over. I have this weird love/hate relationship with it.

Usually with your standard lip glosses from the store you get a few situations, none of which are good. You get the thick, sticky, “tastes or smells AWFUL/disgusting”, tacky, slimy, slippery, doesn’t last, etc. You know what I’m talking. And you get it home, and you expect great things from it.

This is a fantastic lip gloss. But at $26, I wasn’t sure what to expect. For $26, I wanted it to move mountains or something. Don’t get me wrong. Its not about the price..I’m picky and even when I go to the store and see a lip gloss and its just some cover girl or what not and its $7. I’m like “for lip gloss?!” Thus turning me into a Lip Balm only kinda girl. So I normally don’t pay to awful much for lip balm. So now that I’ve made my statement about my past tense experience with lip gloss, let me retract my statement, and get straight to the point.

I now, LOOOOOOOVE! Lip gloss! Turns out I just needed to find “the” lip gloss.

Freedom Gloss in Vibe-Warm Peach

This is the color that I will be reviewing today. It looks different then in the tube. It is sheer, natural, and gives your lips the perfect look. I have been really happy with my experience with this gloss. It hasn’t left my sight since I got it. I eventually plan on owning all the colors. And here is why.

1- Concentrated. One swipe, is all it takes. You use very little.

2-Goes on easily, smoothly, and is the perfect blend of a gloss/almost balm.

3-It is not sticky or tacky.

4-It does not smell or taste bad.

5-Extremely long lasting! I put some on before bed. In the morning there was still a little left.

6-Does not leave that weird rubbery after effect feeling on your lips.

7- YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. Have you read the study that shows all the tubes of lipstick that a woman eats over a lifetime? It is soooooo gross. With all the clean and green ingredients in this gloss, I feel safe if I need to lick my lips.

Makes a perfect coordinating shade to go along with Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Balm in Sunkissed.

This is a really great gloss!!! I am so happy with it. I’m not sure if there is really a word for how spectacular this gloss is. I’ve never used anything like this before, my lips love it soooo much!!! I had a friend who has used it to, she says she loves it. I think it would make a great gift. Your girlfriends would love you forever.

The Ugly Side of Beauty

This is pretty (or not so pretty) impactful!

For my first entry I was honestly trying to decide which product to review first. But then I was on Facebook and saw this picture on Revolution Organics page.

Whether we are blind to it, choose to ignore it, accept it, or downright boycott it, this is the beauty industry in a nutshell.

The good news is there are companies out there like Revolution Organics, and CEO’s like Melissa Shabinsky and Alexandra Zanella, who take their products seriously from every angle.

Because after all, its not what you put in a product, its what you leave out.
