It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Butter Gloss Lab Sample

One has to wonder what the mystery is behind the It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush Lab Sample! News Anchor Blue is a Lab Sample of Its new Vitality Lip Flush Butter Gloss that comes in a Lip Butter Gloss Set sold at QVC.com

The Lab Sample is kinda unexpected and a little bit mysterious so I thought it kinda deserved its very own post.

Take a look!

Although physically smaller in size the It Cosmetics Lab Sample Vitality Lip Butter Gloss is 0.16 oz in size compared to the 0.11 oz glosses included in the set that I recently swatched and reviewed for you.

It Cosmetics Lab Sample Vitality Lip Butter Gloss Swatches

This is a bright wintergreen-blue shade. It actually has a little bit of a different texture compared to the gloss butters I tried. The texture is thicker and not as hydrating through the wear. It’s still comfortably none the less and a has a nice shine to it. The color seems odd but it applies fairly transparent. Some believe blue gloss makes your teeth appear brighter and whiter. You’ll see a little reflection of that blue shade on lips but you’ll have to stare really hard to see it.

I really like the Lip Butter Gloss formula, a whole heck of a lot, but I’m a little unsure whether the Lab Sample is as similar…seems a different formula…

Not a bad one mind you but not as lovely as the colored version!

Anyone try it?

Love to hear your thoughts!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I think the purpose is as you said to make your teeth look a bit whiter. THat said, a long time ago I had a product from IT – it was a lip gloss on one side and a line camoflage thing on the other. I really wish IT would bring that product to the foreground with a single – it was fab and I don’t even think they make it anymore. I think it may have been a sleeper that didn’t get up in time.

    Benefit had(I think it may be discontinued now) a blue lip gloss called california kissin’

    • the Muse

      yeah that was released several Summer’s ago..I think they still have it around in the clearance section 🙂

    They sold a (teeth whitening) shimmery blue gloss that looked just like this when IT was on HSN a few years ago.

    Karena, do you remember the line filler product for lips from IT that I’m talking about? It was a double ended lip gloss with the color on one side and the line filler on the other.

      I don’t even remember that! 😀 and I was going to say that’s a pic from 1998?! ;-D haha!

    Hi Majick – I do remember one double-sided product that was gloss on one side and a whitish liquid on the other side…not sure if that’s what you remember. 🙂

  • Majick

    Yes, that was the one. And I have to ask, were you ever at a bare essentials event in king of Prussia, PA oh about 6-7 years ago? I met a BE Addict with your same first name. I know it’s a long shot but I had to ask.

    any lipstick- invisible like this one or not, that has a slightly bluish undertone to it, such as a really great red (unlike the reds with a slight an orange undertone that make your teeth appear more yellow) will automatically make you teeth look less yellow, therefor more white in a way.2 different reds at home with different undertones, try it yourself and see if one is better than the other in making your teeth look better. I’m fair skinned and I can’t wear any coral/brownish undertones or brick red/brownish undertone lipsticks for just that reason- they make my teeth look worse- so whether they are in fashion or not I don’t buy them. But if the shade has a little mauve (which is made using some blue) in it even it doesn’t look have bad
    …hope that is helpful ladies
