Vincent Longo Cushion Lips with SPF 20

Vincent Longo Cushion Lips is a highly effective lip treatment with a slick glossy finish…and a potentially tragic flaw.

Though it appears as an odd shade of Granny-Smith-green in the tube, Cushion Lips is basically a clear glossy lip treatment with an extremely subtle gold shimmer.

This lightweight gel treatment delivered an impressive performance with its SPF 20 sun protection, gentle, long-lasting lip-plumping abilities and its ability to quickly heal and hydrate dry, chapped lips.

There is, however, one thing that might make you hate this stuff: the flavor.

When I first slicked on this lipgloss, I almost gave it the boot immediately because it had a sharp medicinal taste that’s not unlike the flavor of body lotion or even soap.

After a few days of wearing it, however, I’ve actually become accustomed to the flavor and it doesn’t bother me nearly as much. Furthermore, I like its effects enough that I consider Cushion Lips a keeper.

If you’re looking for an excellent hydrating lipgloss and you feel you can acquire a taste for this lip treatment, I think you should definitely try it.

If you want to stick to the tasty stuff, go for Korres Lip Butter, Fresh Sugar Lip Balm or MAC Tendertones.

Vincent Longo Cushion Lips is available for $18 from Sephora

Anyone else tried Vincent Longo Cushion Lips? Theoretically opposed to less-than-yummy lippies? I can’t wait to hear your thoughts, moxies ; )
