Best Things in Beauty : Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lipgloss in Lush

the other shade of Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lipgloss i recently ordered at Ludwig Beck Munich is named Lush (read my review of Fortune here). i called up the counter when i heard that they will sell off their stock on these glosses due to re-packaging with 50% off. now they cost 11€ instead of 23€.
i think the new packaging resembles the Hourglass Prodigy lipglosses but in a long and stretched version. i don't know if the formula or colours will be changed, though.
this old packaging contains 3.6g and has a brush applicator. the brush is rather stiff but smooth at the tip and applies the product very well, if it's not so thin in texture, making application of metallic finishes a bit harder because it's easy to get a streaky result.
but since Lush has a shimmery finish, i don't experience any problem with the applicator at all. it's a peachy coral with gold shimmer which initially looks quite bright, brighter than in the tube, but easily sheers out to a light finish. it brightens up my lips a little bit and makes them look quite full and provides a soft glossy effect. the gold shimmer is really beautiful. i like that it feels smooth and very light and is non-sticky but the downside of course is the rather short wearing time (about 2h without eating&drinking but a lot of chit chat ;)). it's very moisturizing and leaves my lips soft and plump. oh, and i haven't mentioned the intense vanilla-caramel-scent which makes me think of fudge and crème brulée and caramel macchiato hmmmm.....
this is a neat summer gloss which i will wear a lot this year.

this is how it looks worn

comparison

i thought it could look like MAC Love Nectar Lipglass, but Love Nectar is still more sheer and subtle on the lips and has more of a colourful shimmer instead of base colour and gold shimmer.
