at blushgarden, we think differently about reading and writing beauty product reviews. we believe product reviews should provide you with detailed information, let the writer quickly and easily share their thoughts, and be a fun experience for all. to achieve this, we provide a ratings scale for distinct criteria, alongside traditional written comments. this format gives reviewers a way to provide an in-depth review of the same specific aspects of a product, allowing you zero in on the criteria that are most important to you.
without the need for long-form written text, everyone saves time. don’t let us discourage you from waxing poetic if you are so inclined, some people are gifted writers and should share if they want to. we just want to encourage and provide great reviews without that particular barrier to entry.
as an example, one rating criteria for lipgloss is stickiness. stickiness ranges from very sticky to not sticky. Very sticky might be a desired quality for you, while not sticky might be desired for someone else. there isn’t a right answer, only your opinion.
an added benefit to the scales is quickly seeing how a product might perform. you can identify that a product is rated highly for stickiness without reading a lot of text. easily compare and evaluate similar products based on identical criteria. apples to apples, if you will.
we would honestly love to hear your feedback, if you have an idea for a new rating criteria, let us know! post in the feedback forum, or send us an email to .
Emilythe formula here is great, it's really comfortable, it's got just enough thickness, just enough cling to the lips, you're not gonna be wearing this gloss and like really thinking about it all day watch the full review
Sarah(talking about the velvet matte formula specifically) I just feel like this product doesn't know what it wants to be, it's not a lipstick, it's not a liquid lipstick, it's not a gloss, like it just doesn't fit into a category. watch the full review
JeanI find these to be super moisturizing, super comfortable, they are, for a lipgloss, they're long wearing. It's very rare that I see a lipgloss that's actually long wearing. watch the full review
