Review: Stage Wondergloss Lipgloss

Stage Highshine Wondergloss Lipgloss first caught my attention in Kahani's (So Loverly) raving post. As a result, I picked up two of them in Venus and Sophia. I've been previewing these lovely lovely lipglosses in my recent looks and tutorials so, here's the review -- finally! Man, I love these glosses...

Read on for the swatches and review :)

Stage Wondergloss Lipgloss has a vanilla scent that highly resembles the scent of MAC Lipglass, except smoother. Smelling it makes me wanna go get a McDonald's Sundae Cone. Whenever I'm putting this gloss in the car, someone in the backseat would be asking if I was eating chocolate (it does smell like white chocolate!). The applicator is a very slim brush that doesn't overload with gloss and provides a precise application. I usually double-dip to have enough gloss for my entire lips. But then again, I like my gloss on thick ;)

Sophia: Sheer nude peach without any shimmer. This color simply makes the lips look JUICY. The patent leather shine is solely from gloss with no help from shimmer. It should go well over peachy lipsticks too. The color also seems to make the lines on my lips less visible

Venus: Pale pink with golden sheen and silver shimmer. It's the kind of everyday shade that would look good on everyone since it doesn't give a distinct color (think sheerer version of NARS Orgasm lipgloss). The shine is simply INSANE! Heck, you can even see my shirt (blue and white) reflected on my lips! Venus gives a very pretty 3D effect

Besides having beautiful colors, the Wonderglosses are incredibly good quality making them comparable to higher end lipglosses such as Dior Addict lipgloss. Unlike MAC Lipglass, it isn't too sticky and it applies very smoothly. The staying power is superior to most lipglosses out there. Although the hyper-shine may fade a little after a few hours, the color will still be there.

Wondergloss retails for RM55 at Stage Cosmetics outlets. If you're a resident of Singapore, Stage Cosmetics is having a Buy 1 Free 1 promotion from 7th August til 11th August 2009!

Sophia looks like NYX Lipgloss in Smokey Look/Natural. Kinda forget there..could they be possible dupe?

Connie De Alwis said...

I have Natural and the color is very different. Also, Natural is more opaque and as much as I love Natural, the shine is nowhere near! As for Smokey Look, I've bought it but it hasn't arrived so I can't say. I assume Smokey Look to be very opaque like Natural too

Sherry said...

wow.. buy 1 free 1 in SG so nice.. lol.. me in Malaysia..

Jenn said...

Wow!! They look amazing!!! I like how both colors look so natural too!! :D

Kahani said...

Turn about is fair play huh? I make you want Venus, and you make me want Sophia!!

Sue Lynn said...

Eeek! <3 Sophia! *drools* But my lips are uber pink & pigmented - I wonder if they'll provide the nude look on my lips as it does on yours...Hmmm...

Connie De Alwis said...

Fuz: It feels really smooth too!

Erynn: It is, isn't it? :D

Sherry: the Buy 1 Free 1 promo has ended in Malaysia

Jenn: The colors that I picked are very natural indeed. They have stronger colors too but I'm not too keen

Kahani: Wait, did you get Sophia the last time? or some other color?

Sue Lynn: They're not highly pigmented so I doubt it'll nude out the lips. Regardless, I think it'll still look really pretty on you :)

gio said...

Both colors are beautiful. They look very natural.

The Home Spa Goddess said...

Great swatches! These look good on you:)

Shasha said...

sophia looks so pretty! the colors look really light, are your lips naturally pale to pull it off?

Tine said...

I have the Sophia and I love it. Such a lovely MLBB colour :)

Connie De Alwis said...

Gio: I have many lipglosses in similar colors but very few that are this glossy!

The Home Spa Goddess: Thank you! :)

Shasha: Yep, my lips are "naturally" pale so the color may look different on other lips

Tine: Cool that Sophia's your MLBB color! I love it but it's still a little too peachy for me. NYX Mega Shine Natural is my MLBB color ;)

Sue Lynn said...

:D TQ for the compliment LOL! I've bot one colour from Coastal Scents - Oasis (creamy nude with no shimmer) and it's super opaque (this was before they said they've reformulated it_. Pity the colour washes me out a little.

*gasp* But since you said the NYX ones are quite pigmented, I may give them a try since I need to order Circe, Orange Soda and Pumpkin Pie :P
