Addiction Lip Gloss 033 Factory Girl Spring 2013 Makeup 1

Since Addiction was launched in July 2009, I have been very interested in the brand. I had been wondering what to try for a while until I came across information on the brand’s spring 2013 makeup collection. As a lover of blue lip glosses, I thought Lip Gloss in 033 Factory Girl would be the perfect first purchase from the brand.

Addiction Lip Gloss in 033 Factory Girl (アディクション リップグロス 033 ファクトリーガール, ¥2500) is a sheer warm teal blue with no shimmer. Even with just one layer, it imparts a fairly glossy finish on the lips. The glossiness of the finish is buildable with additional layers.

The shade is warmer than those of many of my other blue lip glosses. Also, unlike most of my other blue lip glosses, it leaves a hint of blueness on the lips and the color can be slightly intensified with additional layers. My natural lip color does show through, and the overall look is more bruised purple than teal blue. The look has a Gothic feel to it.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this is not the type of blue-tinted lip gloss that I talked about in the post back in 2007. However, I like the edginess of the look it creates and I like the fact that it is different from almost all my other blue lip glosses. It is not a product I can wear on a daily basis, but it is a great addition to my collection of blue lip glosses.
