Sephora Favorites: Give Me Some Shine Lip Set Review
This set didn’t come with an info sheet, but the products and their ingredients are listed on the back of the bag.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Venus, Full-Size! Retail Value $16
The first of two full-size products in this kit is this lip gloss from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Venus is a clear gloss with “dazzling pink and gold reflective sparkle.” This is a thin gloss, and while I wouldn’t describe it as being 100% stick-free, the stickiness was minimal.
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment in Translucent, 0.07 oz – Estimated Value $12.13 (buy the full-size version for $26)
Fresh lip treatments were my first introduction into the world beyond Carmex and chapstick, and I never looked back. This is a clear balm made with sugar (to prevent moisture loss), sea fennel (to smooth fine lines), and orange extract (to protect your lips). This does provide long-lasting moisture to my chronically dry lips, and it is a great balm to wear before going in with a drying liquid lipstick. Plus, absolutely no stickiness!
INC.redible Jelly Shot in Ex Revenge, Full-Size! Retail Value $10
The second full-size product in this kit is this fun lip balm! It has real gold flakes inside the balm, a tiny flower at the base, and it goes on clear. I found it to be really nourishing, too, thanks to ingredients like Vitamin E, avocado oil, and rice bran oil.
Tarte Rainforest Of The Sea™ H2O Lip Gloss in Sundress, 0.033 oz – Estimated Value $4.64 (buy the full-size version for $19)
I know this is a tiny baby lip gloss, but I really love the attention to detail in this packaging- from the gorgeous ombre lid to the actual flecks that look like water drops, this is a neat lip gloss. Sundress is described as a peachy nude, and it was a little too close to my skin tone to wear alone. I also think this is the thickest lip gloss out of this set, and also the stickiest.
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme in Clear, 0.05 oz – Retail Value $14
I never have good experience with lip plumpers, but I gave this a try anyway. I only lasted about three minutes before I had to wipe it off due to the intense burning (which is probably why this is called "extreme"), but I will say a few minutes later my lips definitely looked plumper. Ultimately, though, the pain wasn't worth the fuller pout for me.
Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Liquid Color Balm in Shade 12 Chase Me Nude, 0.08 oz – Estimated Value $12.80 (buy the full-size version for $32)
This was the big winner of the box for me! Though it is a liquid, it really feels like a hydrating lip balm on the lips. I found the shade Chase Me Nude to be a really great nude with a hint of pink, and there was absolutely zero stickiness. I am taking my graduation headshots this week, and this is the lip color I will be rocking.
Though you already saw these shades on, here are the Tarte, YSL, and Anastasia swatched next together in fun hearts. Do you know yet what lip color you’re going to be rocking on Valentine’s Day?
The Verdict: I thought this was a great kit from Sephora. This had a good mix of high end and affordable brands, and there were fun textures like the YSL liquid balm and the gold-infused balm from INC.redible. If lip glosses and balms are your thing, I definitely recommend picking this set up. Value-wise, I calculated a total value of $69.57, which I think is fair.
