I love high intensity, pigmented lip glosses, although they can be quite unforgiving on unhealthy lips and can smudge easily.
Korean Brand, The Face Shop is a brand I am currently testing out and I spotted their Extreme Rouge Glosses on eBay. These vivid lip glosses are highly pigmented, contain Argan oil and adds volume to the lips. They should also last around 6 hours!
I bought 3 colours, PK101 – a bright pink, BR801, a nude beige and PP401, a pigmented deep plum:
I think applying pigmented gloss without a mirror makes me nervous!
Here are the lip glosses – they are shorter and chubbier than normal lip glosses. They’re pretty standard other than that, not particularly gorgeous or ugly:
The applicator is a sponge doe foot type with a nice flat edge for application. It’s quite a nice one:
You can see from these swatches that these lip glosses are highly pigmented and rich. The texture is quite thick, and the finish is quite high gloss. WIthout a doubt you don’t need a lip base or lipstick to enhance the colour, it is very rich on its own.
Swatches:
BR801 is a really nude orange-beige. It’s very close to my natural lip colour.
PK101 is a bright pink but PKK102 is an even brighter hot pink. I got for hot pinks a lot so I decided to go for something a bit softer! PK101 is a candy bright pink.
PP401 is a very deep red-wine shade. It’s not anything I would normally wear but since it’s nearly Christmas…
It’s been a while but here are some lip swatches!
PK101 is a blue based pink. I noticed with all of these that they will settle into creases so when your lips aren’t healthy (like mine aren’t at the moment) it’s not a nice effect!
BR801 is a nice change from the normal nudes as there is orange in there. Avoid if you hate oranges but I love them!
BR801 is a super vampy wine shade! Boy do you have to be careful applying this! I would wear this for a refined evening vampy look but I wouldn’t touch it for anything else. There’s a lot of pigment in this.
Ingredients:
You know I accumulate lip products very quickly so I do like these a lot despite the competition they face, HOWEVER because they are so intense I find it hard to apply willy-nilly. And I tend to apply my lip gloss on the run, ie. running to work, and after having soup for lunch!
But if you are looking for a high pigment lip gloss you will definitely like these. I bought them from eBay for about £8 each including shipping.
What do you think of super pigmented lip glosses?

the beige and the wine colors look great on you! especially like the wine on you. It doesn’t look that strong to me
These look lovely, it’s been a while since I hauled some pretty asian make up so I might just have to pick up one of these! x
BR801 (well the vampy red one) is absolutely gorgeous!! xx
The pillowy lips are back lol!
The plum looks FAB on you!
I love the nudey-orange one on you, just the right amount of orange. And £8 incl postage is a pretty decent price to pay for gloss with good coverage like this
That mocha colored one and the wine shade are really really nice. Looks like they’ll go really well with some of the fall fashion we’ve seen!
