   Ok so I probably overdosed on glitter in the late 90’s, but I never lost my affinity for the stuff. Sorry not sorry, but I dislike matte. So Glitter Goals is a glittery liquid lipstick that comes in a variety of shades. I have the shade X Infinity which is described as violet and pink with magenta glitter. I would say that’s an accurate description, the shade is a very vivid bright purple. The doe foot wand is surprisingly accurate, which is helpful because this is a very bold and pigmented product. If you, like me can remember the late 90’s glitter craze, then you probably remember those first generation long wear lipsticks, the little two step products that had liquid lipstick on one end, and a balm on the other. Well, these are just as drying, like holy hell it just suck every bit of moisture out of your lips and leaves them utterly parched. The upside of it being so dry, it doesn’t budge, you can eat, drink, and what not, and it’s not going to bleed. Yes this does have glitter in it, it’s not going to make your lips super glitterly though.

   So this product is an almost blatant copy of Ciate’s Glitter Flip, only this line comes with fewer shades. I’m actually happy about this, because I didn’t want to splash out on the Ciate version due to it being a specialty kind of item at a high premium. When NYX launched the Glitter Goals lipstick, I knew I had to try it.
   The idea with these lipsticks is that you apply them like a normal liquid lipstick, let dry, and then press your lips together to activate the glitter finish. Upon application, it’s more of a metallic finish rather than glitter, but once you press your lips together, the glitter really comes through. It’s pretty fascinating!
   I picked up the shade Crystal Crush, which is a medium plummy neutral with intense gold glitter, and it’s REALLY pretty. The shade is neutral enough to be ~kinda~ okay for daytime if you’re daring, but is perfect for a nighttime look. (I don’t have any problem wearing it to work, since everyone already knows I’m a weirdo around here, but if your work environment is more stringent about appearance, you may want to leave this lipstick at home.) There are other shades that I’m interested in trying, particularly Oil Spill, which is black with blue and purple glitter. Yes please!
   The formula is thin and transfer-proof, and long-lasting with full coverage, but these are quite drying, which is why I didn’t give them 5 lippies. (For the record,I don’t know if the Ciate version of these is as drying.) They aren’t really terrible, but they definitely don’t feel hydrating at all. I would definitely say prep your lips before, and make sure to apply balm immediately upon removal.
   I like the packaging. It’s not tacky, feels sturdy, and the doefoot applicator grabs enough product for both lips, and applies fairly precisely.
   These seem to be around $8 or $9 USD depending on where you find them. They are available at Target and Ulta, and I’m sure a few other places.
   I’ll edit this review when I try other shades to report back on how the range performs on the whole. But so far, I’m fairly impressed, and excited to dive into other colors!
