Short answer?

How this is made

I’m honestly obsessed with this lip gloss and I’m so confused why it doesn’t have better reviews. 💄✨ First off, it is SO STICKY AND TACKY… I freaking LOVE it. The shine is amazing, it gives that super glossy, glass-like finish that makes your lips look juicy and full right away. I also actually *love* how sticky it is. I know some people don’t like that, but the slight tackiness is exactly what m BreadCake · sephora.com
