Is the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Really Worth the hype?

 There's no denying that the United Kindom has a lot to offer: historic monuments, fish and chips, regular and deeply riveting conversations about the weather and Brexit (okay, maybe not the last one...). But, there is one slight area in which they are lacking...American beauty brands. Yes, that's right U.K, where is our vast array of beauty brands that America seems in a surplus of? Where's our Sephora? Where's our Ulta Beauty? 

It would also appear that the rest of the industry shared this same seething frustration because when Boot's announced the unprecedented arrival of Rhianna's American Beauty brand Fenty Beauty, the U.K beauty community went crazy for it (almost as mad as when Rhianna announced she'd secretly been living incognito in London for the past year).

So, like the rest of the world, I wanted to head right down to the notorious British drugstore and finally test out these widely revered products for myself - starting with arguably Fenty's most prised product: the Gloss Bomb.

First Impression: You know when you see those Instagram models with super glossy lips and you think, "how?!". Well, this turns you into one of those. From the very moment I applied this, I could tell that the formula was extremely well-curated; it glides effortlessly onto the lips and lacks that horrible sticky feeling that a lot of lip glosses tend to have. The shade is also another bonus. Fenty's main ethos is centered around catering for every skin tone, so there's no need to fret about this not suiting your complexion.

Would I recommend? To say no to this question would be like telling you the sky's not blue. A hundred percent YES!
