Pros: A shiny lip gloss that gives subtle color - hydrates, too!
Cons: Color isn't as intense as the tube indicates...
The Bottom Line: Another great lip gloss from Maybelline! A high-shine lip gloss that isn't heavy or sticky, and the color selection in amazing.

| Jev04again's Full Review: Maybelline Shiny Licious Lipgloss, Jam'n Jelly 25 ... |
Recently I went on a makeup shopping trip – something that mysteriously happens every other month or so – and Shiny-licious lip gloss by Maybelline New York ended up in my basket. I love to try different lip glosses and try to find that one which will become a favorite. Shiny-licious came pretty darn close, and at $4.97 for the 0.38 fl. oz. tube, I thought it was a pretty good deal.
Maybelline New York offers many alluring shades of the Shiny-licious gloss line. The shade that I chose is Jam’n Jelly. It’s a very pretty color, in the plum category. This is the shade that I try to stick to because of my skin tone.
The available shades (from the Maybelline web site) of Shiny-licious are:
Pinks: Crushed Candy, Berry-Bella, Pink Sorbet, Lolly-Pink
Mauves: Grape-Full, Sugar Plum, Raiz’n Razzle
Plums: Jam’n Jelly, Chocolate Cherry
Corals: Coral Punch, Melon-Ball
Reds: Strawberry Tart, Cinnamon Apple
Browns: Banana Pudding
Naturals: Coconut Cream, Caramella, Cola-Float
Clear: Clear
Applying the lip gloss is very straightforward: unscrew the cap and then squeeze the tube until the gloss comes up through the soft, angled sponge. One of the first things you’ll notice, besides the lovely color, is the scent. Each gloss has quite a yummy scent and a very subtle flavor. The Jam’n Jelly gloss has a hint of grape jelly scent which I find to be luscious. Simply apply the gloss beginning in the center of your lip and glide to the outer edges – but be careful not to have too much on the applicator or to press to hard because you’ll have a distinct line of gloss around your lips. I find that I have to use my pinky to evenly spread out the gloss. It’s not a big deal to me, but for those who don’t have time for that, you will just have to be careful while applying this gloss.
Another thing you’ll notice once you’ve applied the Shiny-licious gloss is that the color isn’t as intense as the tube insinuates. I always seem to find that this is the case with most glosses so I tend to go a shade darker than I prefer.
I love how this lip gloss feels so hydrating and soft. Besides the great color, I love how it soothes my lips when they feel dry. It’s a very light formula, so it doesn’t feel heavy or too sticky. It doesn’t seem to spread out after it’s been on for a while and disappear into oblivion, but you will need to reapply the lip gloss after normal drinking, eating, and kissy-face-ing. Yeah, that’s not a word, I know!
Final Thoughts…
Shiny-licious lip gloss by Maybelline New York is a great lip gloss that will provide you with high shine, hydration, lovely color, and a subtle scent and taste that you will enjoy. It’s a fun product that will enhance your lips and provide that kissable look that can’t be duplicated.
I think it’s time for another makeup shopping trip….
