Patrick Ta She’s Expensive Major Glow Lip Shine ($22.00 for 0.23 oz.) has a nearly transparent base–slightly golden at most–paired with flecks of silver and gold micro-sparkle paired with a high-shine finish. It had sheer coverage with a smattering of sparkle, but it was the least shimmery/sparkly of the three shades available (as of the writing of this review).

The gloss was non-sticky, plush, and like a cushion-y gel; thicker but not heavy, and it was easy to spread across my lips. It seemed to smooth out some of my finer lip lines, too, and had a very shiny finish as promised. It wore well for three hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview

$22.00/0.23 oz. – $95.65 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a “high-shine” finish that has the “cushion and slip of a lip balm” without being tacky designed to be sheerer. If you love a balmy, gel-like gloss that isn’t tacky, has a lot of shine, and a bit of sparkle to it (without being gritty), it’s a very comfortable, easy-to-apply formula. It’s not particularly long-wearing (three to four hours) but definitely hydrating and glass-like in its shine.

The formula had a sweet, minty scent but no discernible taste.

She’s an Influencer

Patrick Ta She’s an Influencer Major Glow Lip Shine ($22.00 for 0.23 oz.) has a semi-translucent base that was more peachy-brown tinted with multi-colored flecks of shimmer and micro-sparkle paired with a high-shine finish. It had sheer to semi-sheer color payoff, which was in line with the brand’s marketing.

The shimmer/sparkle distributed evenly across my lips, and the gloss seemed to soften most of my lip lines. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy but more of a gel-like texture that was comfortable to wear and felt plush without being tacky. It lasted nicely for three and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Is She Younger Than Me

Patrick Ta Is She Younger Than Me Major Glow Lip Shine ($22.00 for 0.23 oz.) has a semi-translucent, peach-tinted base with a smattering of cooler pink flecks of pearl and micro-sparkle paired with a high-shine finish.

The gloss felt smooth–more like a creamy gel–as it spread easily across my lips and felt plush to wear. There was a bit of product that seemed to get into my deeper lip lines, though it was barely noticeable in person. It had sheer to semi-sheer coverage, which seemed in line with the marketing, that lasted for three hours on me but was hydrating over time.
