Every year one brand or another gets a 70’s vibe on and tries to bring back the roller ball lip gloss. Last year it was Lauder, now this year we have Isadora Fruity Lip Rollers. If you’re looking to go retro or even bring back some 1970’s summer memories (because didn’t we ALL have on?) these are spot on and in terms of fruity scents, its like basting your lips in liquid Fruit Salad sweeties. You get a lovely, clear shine that will last all of a second because the temptation to lick it off is so high! However, if you do, you’ll be disappointed – there is pretty much no taste at all; these are all about the fragrance with only the lightest sweet hint to the gloss. Which is about right because you’re not actually supposed to eat it!
The scents are Melon Breeze, Berry Cooler, Fruit Punch, Mango Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri but I’m still craving for the old bubblegum flavoured ones and I am pretty sure those were a brand called Bonne Belle. Bring them back! As ever, Isadora is impossible to find in the UK, so if you have friends in Europe or you’re visiting, they’re just fun things to have (if rather expensive at £9.95).
