Glam 13 is a warm nude shade with very fine shimmer. Infact the shimmer is only visible when you zoom in the swatches. The shade is very versatile. I wear it on its own for a neutral no makeup look. Sometimes I wear it over my neon lipsticks to subtle them down and make them more wearable during the day. Its a great option to pair with smokey eye makeup too.

The pigmentation is really good. On lips it gets muted but still manages to cover my lip pigmentation (see the lip swatches below)

The consistency is thick..almost like a liquid lipstick. Well Maybelline claims that its a trio of lipgloss, lip balm and lipstick and I cannot disagree. Its so rare that a product lives upto it claims..you almost want to give it a kiss for being so honest!

Being so thick it stays for a long long time. I have worn it for 6 hours with a meal and a long nap and it survived both! And it keeps your lips hydrated and moisturized so its a great lipgloss to wear in winters.

I quite like the creative packaging..the lip polish tube looks like a lipstick bullet at the base. And the wand is a sponge applicator which is quite different from the ones I’m used to but makes application very easy.

• The lasting power is close to 6 hours which is very rare in lip glosses.
• It keeps the lips hydrated and moisturized.
• The pigmentation is good and covers my pigmented lips.

Cons of Maybelline Lip polish Glam 13:
