To embrace the iconic style of the early 1960’s where everything was big and sexy, Flirt! Cosmetics created Big Flirt Sheer and Shiny Lipgloss, the flirtiest, shiniest and boldest lipgloss yet.

The first thing that caught my eye was the humongous yet cute packaging. With its black cap and mega-tip applicator, the Big Flirt Sheer and Shiny Lipgloss looks like a jumbo, polka-dot version of MAC Tinted Lipglass.

The lipgloss is formulated with jojoba oil to help soften and condition lips and applies smoothly with a sweet, vanilla scent. I personally don’t find it to be that moisturizing on my super dry lips but I do like that it is creamy and does not feel too tacky.

There are 8 wearable colors in both cream and shimmer finishes, including:

• Berry Bombshell – a sheer dark purple
• Bigger Than Rose – a plum with golden shimmer
• Big Pink Sunshine – a golden pink
• Coral-Me Fabulous – a creamy coral
• Big Pink Kisses – a creamy bubblegum pink
• Big Blush – a shimmery medium pink
• Big On Nude – a shimmery pinky peach
• Big On Beige – a shimmery golden beige

The colors all show up semi-sheer with lots of shine just as the name suggests, so you will need to layer a bit to get the color you see in the tube. The gloss also stays on pretty well, even after a drink. Below are swatches of Big Pink Kisses and Bigger Than Rose:

Overall, Flirt! Cosmetics Big Flirt Sheer and Shiny Lipgloss is a fun, cute product that is easy to use and perfect for just a tinge of color and shine.

To rock these new vibrant shades, Estee Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux recommends “applying two coats of the polish followed by a very shiny, clear top coat. The nails should look very shiny and glossy – like a contemporary Chinese lacquer.”
