At 32, I thought my shimmery lip gloss era was well and truly behind me. The product was one of my first forays into make-up as a child, so to say it's now become something I'm most excited to wear again at my big old age is certainly surprising. How exactly did this revival come about? Well, as with most nostalgic trends that get a second go-around, this was one I fell in love with all over again via TikTok.
I had spotted several creators rocking a beautiful, hi-shine shimmery lip, and after years of ultra-matte finishes being on trend, it seems many of us are ready to re-embrace our inner child with these fun formulations. I have followed @rainneyandneen for a while now on TikTok, and always noticed the beautiful gloss worn by Neen in their hilarious whisper mini-mic videos. I was therefore overjoyed when they revealed the exact gloss worn: the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Shimmer Glass Plump in Rosy Mauve.
