Beauty Care: Lisa Eldridge Beauty, Blush, Go Lightly Embrace Lip Glosses Reviews & Swatches

Beauty

Lisa Eldridge Beauty Gloss Embrace Lip Gloss ($23.50 for 0.15 oz.) is a vivid, peony pink with moderate, warm undertones and a shiny, glossy finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, while the brand described it as “medium pigment” (for context, Ribbon is listed as “high pigment,” but I found that this was similar to that in coverage).

The gloss had a very smooth, more like a cream-gel hybrid consistency that was non-sticky, spreadable, and felt plush on my lips. The color applied evenly with minimal settling into my vertical lip lines, and the shine of the gloss made that hard to see in person (just in the close-up photos). It wore nicely for four hours and felt very moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

$23.50/0.15 oz. - $156.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be a "medium to high pigment gloss" (depending on the shade; most are "medium" pigment) that leaves lips feeling "soft as silk" and hydrated. The consistency was more like a creamier gel, so it was comfortable, spreadable, and felt cushiony on my lips without being tacky or heavy. The coverage varied from shade to shade but ranged from medium to opaque but tended to be in line with how each shade was intended to be.

The glosses applied fairly evenly with minimal settling into my lip lines--the kind that is visible in the close-up photo but not in person. There's a lot of shine to them, which gave the illusion of slightly plumper lips, and it seemed a touch smoothing over time (an hour or longer). The formula was really comfortable and hydrating to wear, and it was one of the more hydrating formulas I've tried in awhile. There was no fragrance or taste.

Blush

Lisa Eldridge Blush Gloss Embrace Lip Gloss ($23.50 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium reddened plum with warmer undertones and a shiny, glossy finish. It had medium color coverage, and it was supposed to have “medium pigment,” so it seemed dead-on. The color applied evenly and smoothly across my lips and was comfortable to apply and to wear.

The consistency felt smooth, lightweight, and plush–slightly more substantial but non-sticky and not at all heavy or goopy. It could have been kinder to my lip lines, though I felt like my lip lines looked softened halfway through the overall wear. This shade lasted well for three and a half hours and was hydrating while worn.

Go Lightly

Lisa Eldridge Go Lightly Gloss Embrace Lip Gloss ($23.50 for 0.15 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink-coral with fine, gold pearl throughout. It had medium color coverage in a single layer, which was in line with how the brand described it (“medium pigment”). The color could have applied more evenly, though it didn’t settle too noticeably in my lip lines, but I felt like it was hard to get a really even edge.

The gloss had a very smooth, plush consistency that felt lightweight, comfortable, and non-sticky while spreading well across my lips. The formula felt particularly hydrating–more so than most glosses–and actually seemed to leave my lips looking and feeling softer over time. This shade stayed on well for three and a half hours and was moisturizing over time.
