Glo + Ray Lipstick Shades For Autumn 2015
Thursday, September 03, 2015
I have the *Glo + Ray Creamy Shimmer Lip Colours in Honey 647 and Tender 642 (£12 each). I love the new boxes and packaging, it looks so sleek and expensive; also both lipsticks are quite weighty too which makes them feel quite luxe. The red tubes are making me want it to be christmas now and some of the shades are perfect for the festive season.
Both shades are so wearable, neutral, creamy and I love the embossed Glo + Ray logo on the lipstick bullet! The shade Tender 642 is the shade I've been using everyday since I receive it as it's such a pretty shade that goes with all other makeup. Tender is a 'my lips but...peachier' shade. It is a peachy, brown shade that does contain shimmer but it isn't chunky so the lipstick is still smooth and creamy and it just makes the shade look slightly glossy on the lips.
The shade Honey 647 is a creamy pink shade that isn't something I would usually choose as it does lean towards a warm bright pink shade but it's so pretty! Even though it is quite bright and not a typical shade for me, it makes my pale and sometimes dull complexion so much brighter and awake, if that makes sense. The pigmentation is fantastic for both shades, they feel so smooth and comfortable on the lips and thankfully the shimmer is very fine and just looks slightly glossy on the lips. Despite the creaminess of the lipsticks, the longevity is pretty good as they last for about four hours on me even while eating.
Overall, both lipstick shades are so pretty for everyday wear and I know I will get a lot of use out of them even if the Honey shade isn't something I would usually choose. They are creamy, smooth, pigmented and so comfortable on the lips. The longevity is pretty good and I love the new packaging! The re-launched shades will be available to purchase at the end of September. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

Review: Glo + Ray Cosmetics
Tuesday, January 13, 2015
Glo + Ray is a makeup brand that I have seen quite a lot of in the past couple of months in the blogosphere. Created in 2012, the moto of the brand is 'Colour your Shine! which echoes the wishes of all women who long for lasting beauty and enabling them to display their unique self.'
I was allowed to pick a couple of items to try and I picked one face powder and a gorgeous lipstick. I have the *Glo + Ray Velvet Two Way Cake Powder Foundation (£19, N00) which is the lightest shade I believe and it is a great match for my pale skin. Firstly, the packaging, it looks so sleek and expensive but its also very handy and practical. Don't be put off by the name of this product, as it isn't caky or heavy in my opinion. The powder foundation looks and feels light on my dry/sensitive skin. It does mattify but without leaving the skin looking dull or flat.
The first time I used the powder foundation, I didn't know what to expect as I haven't used very many powder foundations but I used it directly onto my skin (without primer and with only a small amount of moisturiser) and I was so surprised that it didn't really cling to dryness - it did on one spot but I am so impressed. It controls the small amount of oil on my t-zone but it doesn't look flat or dull. I use a fluffy powder brush to apply it, rather than the sponge included, and it gives me light coverage which is perfect for me. The powder isn't very noticeable on the skin at all, unless you really pack it on and it wears well throughout the day. I don't know yet how well this product will look when my skin is very dry but so far so good. Don't be put off by the name of this product! Overall, I'm very pleasantly surprised and so impressed: ★★★★★, 5/5!
Next up is the *Glo + Ray La Amo Shimmer Lipstick (£12, Honey 647). Again as with the powder, the packaging is so sleek and luxe! The lipstick is a gorgeous fresh rose shade which is a perfect everyday shade; I'm not sure why it's named 'honey' as in my opinion there are no honey tones in this shade. The shimmer isn't very noticeable which is great, it just gives the lipstick a slight radiance. The lipstick applies so smoothly, it is very creamy but it feels light and comfortable on the lips. The lipstick can cling to very dry areas although on the whole it's fantastic and wears well throughout the day - even through drinking. I am very impressed with the longevity of this lipstick! Rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
Overall, I am so happy with both products; I'm very impressed with the quality, design and wear of both the powder foundation and lipstick. Also I've been using the powder on top of my foundations to set them and to add a little extra coverage. I definitely want to try more from Glo + Ray, here is my wish list:
