A Miners Disappointment


When Miners' latest lip glosses dropped through my letterbox yesterday morning, I was looking forward to trying them out.
The brand's products have been so good lately that I had high hopes from the off. 

What Miners say: 

"After the sucess of best-selling Crystal Crush Light Reflecting Lipgloss at Miners HQ, we have been busy creating an edgier, party inspired sister gloss - Crystal Crush After Dark."

What I think:

Well, what a disappointment. The glosses, available in the shades Glass Slipper, Moonshine, Midnight Hour, Cosmic Kiss, Champagne Shimmer and Twilight - had little (if no) pigmentation and stayed on the lips for all of about 2 minutes. Such a shame, as I've said it plenty of times before and I'll say it again...the brand's fashion matte lipsticks are fantastic, as are the new matte lip glosses.

At £3.99 each, these aren't badly priced and are great if you're looking for a very sheer shine or a slight sparkle to the lips. But even the darkest shade (Cosmic Kiss) offered very little pigmentation.

Have you had chance to look at Miners' Fashion Matte lipsticks or any of the brand's other offerings?

  2. Hi Sharon, Yes I thought so too. They're lovely to give to kids as presents, as the colours are so sheer and subtle xx

  3. What a pity but I guess the range is perfect for kids then!

  4. Yeah, they'd be ideal for kids actually. I ended up giving all these to a friend of mine who wears very little make up. She loved them! x
