It's late, so this will be a quick review tonight.
Even though I seem to have stopped going through my Ipsy/Boxycharm boxes that I receive every couple of months, I still find gems in them.
If you are tired of thick, sticky lip glosses, try Mellow Lip Gloss. You will be amazed! Mellow Lip Gloss is super lightweight and has a uniquely smooth feel. The gloss is shiny without being overly glossy. It is moisturizing without being thick or sticky.
Contains vitamin E, shea butter and avocado oil. The gloss is not tested on animals, is vegan, and is paraben-free.
Mellow lip gloss is fragrance free and tasteless. It doesn't leave much shine on the glasses when I drink something. It's okay.

You can use it alone (it's opaque) or layer it over lipstick. I mainly use Santorini alone.
Soft lip gloss comes in 4 shades named after beach vacation destinations:
He The lip gloss also comes in two packages.:a Holiday Bundle (3 shades) and the Mellow Mauve Lip Kit (mauve lip gloss plus matching lip liner), both discounted on Mellow's website.
Mellow lip gloss has an oval and angled applicator. It is easy to apply.
Santorini This is a good shade for me. Although the brand describes it as peach, it looks more pink to me. I would describe it as Shell Pink. A very pretty shade for spring and summer! I am surprised that on me, it doesn't fade or smudge into the lip lines. Plus, it lasts for hours. Pretty amazing lip gloss!!
The lip glosses are priced at $18 in the US. If you purchase 2 or more products, you can receive a 10-30% discount. Free US shipping starts at $27.
Mellow is a new brand to me, but it was started by its founder, Ima, from Australia, after the birth of her first child in 2014. Ten years. Where I have been? The brand has 72 products in its range!
Mellow Cosmetics is sold in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. It is sold in Nice website and at major retailers. In fact, Mellow Lip Gloss is sold at Macy's and Nordstrom (where their only shade Palm Springs is 15% off right now), so I'm really surprised I haven't seen it in-store. It's also sold at Amazonalthough it is a little more expensive, $19.80.
