Giorgio Armani Gloss D'Armani in Plum 600

I was buying my undereye corrector at the Giorgio Armani counter the other day when the SA told me that I had the choice of purchasing a lip gloss for HKD60 instead of the regular price of HKD260. Of course I took the deal! I'd always admired GA's lip glosses and wanted to try it out, and now I had my chance.

Here is my lip gloss in all its glory, in the shade Plum 600. It's a dark neutral, slightly vampy shade, with understated multicolour sparkles in the formula.

I love GA's packaging... just look at that luxurious clasp opening. 

The oval shape of the tube is very unique... it's definitely different from the usual round or squeeze tubes. And the applicator is a velvety long FLEXIBLE doe-foot.

The gloss wears for a comfortable 5-6 hours, and feels not sticky, but a bit tacky on the lips.
I like the tackiness because that way I feel like my lips are protected and I know that the gloss is still there. It's not the best gloss for a windy day though- I'm not a fan of the hair-stuck-on-gloss look.

I love this gloss and I like how fool-proof and buildable it is. I can swipe it on quickly for a day-to-night look and not worry about it looking too fussy or getting stuck in my lip corner.

Overall: 4/5
Repurchase: I'm not sure that I'd repurchase this, as HKD260 is a bit steep. I might change my mind though, as the packaging is definitely gorgeous. Hopefully another promo will come up.
