Lorac Alter Ego Lip Gloss ($15 at Kohls and Ulta) was recently launched as part of their Summer 2015 collection and I had to try one, especially when I saw the beautiful mauve-y purple shade Goddess at Kohls a few weeks ago. Let's take a look...

Alter Ego Lip Gloss claims to give you highly pigmented, glossy color with a soft vanilla scent. They come in a round, clear tube with a gunmetal colored cap. The doe foot applicator is flat which I find helpful when applying the gloss to my lips...it covers them with a nice even coat.

Right away, I'll say that this formula is one of my favorite lip gloss formulas ever. I was just recently thinking about how lip glosses used to be so shiny and lately it seems like shine has taken a backseat to pigment. I've purchased several "glosses" lately that seemed more like liquid lipsticks, and I was like, where's the shine?? Well I'm happy to say that this one delivers the best of both worlds...rich, opaque pigment with a mirror-like glassy finish, plus no stickiness at all! It feels so smooth and hydrating on the lips and the yummy vanilla scent is subtle and not overpowering.
Goddess is a beautiful mauve-y purple shade and I've been wearing it so much lately. You can see in these swatches how glassy and shiny it is!

On my lips, this shade has a little more pink in it, thanks to a hint of my natural lip color showing through. I actually don't mind since it warms the color up a little and keeps me from looking washed out. I'm so pale naturally that very cool shades can look harsh.
