vbeauté Lip Spread Anti-Age Tinting Lip Gloss Review & Swatches


vbeauté is, without question, a fantastic skincare line that makes high quality very effective products. I have tried every single product that they make, and can honestly say without hesitation that this is an amazing luxury line.

Lip Spread Anti-Age Tinting Lip Gloss is a wonderful lip gloss that protects the lips while simultaneously hydrating them. The formula is concentrated- therefore a little goes a long way. It is unbelievably comfortable on the lips, is hydrating, has anti-aging ingredients, and is completely non-sticky. I find that I am able to get several hours of wear out of the gloss itself, but it leaves a lovely stain behind that lasts for another 3-4 hours on me. That said, I tend to reapply lip glosses to retain the shine. I love the fact that your own body chemistry dictates the color of this gloss-- making it a bit like a mood ring for the lips. On me Lip Spread is a lovely shade of pink- as shown in my arm swatch below. As a huge fan of pink lip glosses, I was elated by the shade.

 Who wants soft, perfectly tinted, luscious lips? We all do! Lip Spread Anti-Age Tinting Lip Gloss delivers silky smooth, lightweight moisture while imparting your lips with an anti-aging gloss. Formulated with self-adjusting vBotanicals that react with your lip chemistry to create your very own afterglow. The formulation also keeps your lips feeling soothed and hydrated, while working to correct and prevent environmental damage. 

vStep: "Apply throughout the day for a unique tint to match your skin tone. Spread across the lips using the slanted applicator, pressing lips together to ensure even coverage."

bBenefits: "Antioxidant Hydration Correction Prevention Tinting Paraben free Fragrance free Gluten free Nut free Oat free."

vComplex: "is a potent Swiss cellular concentrate based on Swiss Alpine Rose Botanical Technology (ARBT), an age-antagonist that helps the skin naturally prevent the cycle of aging. Specific to each formulation, vComplex is designed specifically to stop signs of aging in their tracks… at any age. Alpine Rose Botanical Technology (Antioxidant) vBotanicals (Tinting) BioCellular Peptide (Correction, Prevention) Sweet Cherry (Hydration) Pomegranate (Hydration)."

According to Julie Macklowe (Founder and Owner of vbeauté), 

"...I do love Lip Spread and wear it every day. Since I’m slightly addicted to lip gloss, I made sure that ours had all the right elements. Lip Spread actually goes on clear, but changes to a lovely pink color after you apply it. It has vBotanicals that react with the natural pigments in your skin, and bring out a color that is all your own. The gloss actually looks different on everybody."

Macklowe posits that, "staying true to our focus on anti-aging products, Lip Spread has our BioCellular Peptide to get rid of those unwanted lines and wrinkles. Not to mention, Cherry and Pomegranate fruit extracts keep your smile looking silky smooth by hydrating your lips. Most importantly, the gloss feels lightweight and isn’t sticky—I didn’t want a gloss that my hair would stick to!"
"Apply throughout the day for a unique tint to match your skin tone. Spread across the lips using the slanted applicator, pressing lips together to ensure even coverage."
 The gloss turns a lovely shade of pink when combined with my body chemistry.
 I was delighted that even once the gloss wore away, that it left behind a gorgeous stain!

  1. This sounds pretty terrific. That is so my shade.It's disappointing to me that I can't buy from Bergdorf without paying shipping though.

    1. It is terrific, and I do think that you would really like it. However, having to pay shipping (especially for a small purchase) generally turns me off when so many other retailers ship for free. I don't understand what they charge when Neiman Marcus has so many free shipping offers- you would think that it would be standardized since they are part of the same company! :(

  2. Looks fabulous to me! I like that it has subtle stain, I'm the type who rarely retouches makeup when out and about.I have not tried vbeaute yet so I'll definitely check this one out.

    1. Hi Kath! Lip Spread is awesome!! I love that it leaves behind a stain, but that it moisturizes rather than dries out the lips! I'm really happy with it! :) Have a lovely weekend!

  3. Thanks for the review, and for reminding me I have this. I had put it in a bag, changed bags ... and forgotten all about it! Perfect timing with chapped lips still an issue! I find it doesn't go very pink on me, but it's very comfortable to wear, non sticky as advertised (a huge plus) and does give just a little bit of colour, which is lovely.

    1. Hi intotemptation! I'm so glad that you have this-- I think that it is such a wonderful product! Definitely perfect timing given cold weather/chapped lips! Interesting that it isn't very pink on you! A little bit of color sounds lovely, though! :-)

  4. I have this and prefer it over the By Terry Balm. Yes, I know.... HOW CAN THIS BE?! Lol. It just works for me in a way that By Terry doesn't. I am looking forward to the tinted ones coming out soon. A presale is possible, but I REALLY want to see swatches of the shades somewhere than on a website advertising it.....

    1. I love Lip Spread. Interesting that it works so much better than By Terry on you. I love both of them, but use this when I want color, and By Terry or Rodin when I want moisture and protection alone. I do love that Lip Spread contains anti-aging ingredients. I am an incurable lip product junkie-- so I imagine that I will continue buying all three of these :-) They had the tinted By Terry Rose de Baume glosses at SpaceNK when I was there the other day. I will make a point of swatching and posting all of them next time I go. There was a gorgeous pink one that I almost bought (and should have), but will definitely pick it up at some point! I don't blame you for wanting to see swatches before buying. These are far too expensive to simply buy sight unseen- or at least after viewing accurate swatches! xo

  5. I'm not really a make-up woman. But, I'm always on the lookout for something to soothe my lips because they tend to dry out easily. I'm glad that there is an anti-aging lip gloss which hydrates and at the same time leave a pretty stain. I definitely have to check this out
