Rare Beauty Dazzel ✨

Okay, so I finally got my hands on the new Rare Beauty Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss in Dazzle, and I've been so excited to share more of my thoughts beyond just a quick first impression! It feels like everyone's been talking about this, and for good reason. First off, let's dive a little deeper into the shade 'Dazzle' itself. It's truly a captivating shade, featuring a clear base packed with multi-dimensional glitter particles. You get those beautiful shifts of pink, gold, and sometimes even a hint of purple, which really makes your lips pop, especially in different lighting. It's not a subtle shimmer; it's definitely designed to be seen, giving that gorgeous, full-looking pout. I find it perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any look, whether I'm going for a natural glow or a full-on evening glam. Now, regarding the texture – I mentioned it can feel a bit sticky, and that's still true to an extent. However, I've found a few tricks to make it more comfortable for those who aren't usually fans of sticky glosses. Applying a very thin layer, or dabbing it onto the center of your lips over a lip liner or a matte lipstick, helps a lot. This way, you still get all that dazzling shine without the full sticky feel across your entire lip. As for feeling the glitter, it's definitely there, but it's not gritty or uncomfortable for me. I think it adds to the overall 'dazzling' effect, and it’s something you get used to pretty quickly if you love a good sparkle! What really surprised me (in a good way!) is how versatile this gloss is. While it's stunning on its own for a juicy, glittery lip, I've also loved layering it. It looks incredible over a nude lipstick to give it an extra dimension, or even over a berry shade for a dramatic, vampy glitter lip. The fruity scent is a definite plus for me – it's subtle, not overpowering, and just makes the application experience that much more pleasant. In terms of wear time, for a lip gloss, I'd say it performs quite well. It's not transfer-proof, of course, but the shine and glitter tend to linger for a decent few hours, even through light sips of drinks. You'll definitely need to reapply after eating, but that's standard for most glosses. When it fades, it leaves behind a pretty, subtle shimmer, so you're not left with just a patchy look. For anyone who loves a high-impact, glossy, and glittery lip, the Rare Beauty Dazzle gloss is absolutely worth checking out. It offers that perfect balance of fun and sophistication, and while it has its unique texture, the payoff in terms of shine and sparkle is undeniable. Give it a try, especially if you're looking to add some serious sparkle to your makeup routine!
