GLOSS BOMB CREAM COLOR DRIP LIP CREAM SWATCHES AND REVIEW
It is 2021 and I am trying a Fenty Beauty gloss bomb for the first time. Yes. I know, I know. The original one looked like a slightly tinted gloss and I couldn’t bring myself to justify the $18 price point. This time around, Fenty released the cream version of their cult-favorite gloss so I had to get my hands on all of them to review and swatch for y’all. The Gloss Bomb Cream Color Drip Lip Cream comes in 5 shades and here is my take on them.
Gloss Bomb Cream Color Drip Review
The lip glosses come in a large, clear, hexagonal tube. It is also paired with an extra-large doe-foot applicator that my plump lips are grateful for. The slanted part of the applicator allows you to quickly glide the gloss over your lips while the tip allows for a more precise application for the edge of your lips, for example.
The Fenty Cream Gloss Bombs are described as medium to full coverage glosses with zero shimmers. Fenty Beauty claims they have a non-sticky feel, they are infused with vitamin A to nourish the lips and have a light peach-vanilla scent.
This time around, Fenty Beauty served us some nudes along with a bright and sexy reddish gloss. The cream glosses are available in:
- Fenty Glow: a rose nude
- Mauve Wives: a rosy mauve
- Honey Waffles: a orangy-brown
- Cookie Jar: a chocolate caramel
- Fruit Snackz: a berry red

My opinion on the gloss bombs
As far as colors go, what you see is what you get. The Cream Gloss Bombs are opaque and for the most part, apply uniformly. As a Black woman, you don’t need any lip liner to make the shades appear more flattering on your skin tone. The same applies to the nude shades but of course, you can line your lips if you wish to do so. The shades are gorgeous and suit a wide range of skin tones.
While the scent is not overpowering, it is not my cup of tea and you can definitely still smell it as the gloss sits on your lips. I prefer my lip products unscented when worn. Also, the lip glosses have a tendency to sip inside your mouth to where you can actually taste it. I don’t like that either.
Also, the glosses are not sticky but I find them to feel kinda greasy when you rub your lips together. Speaking of, don’t do that too often or you will risk thinning out the color. This is normal because it is a gloss after all.
The Fenty Beauty Cream Gloss Bombs’ shades are gorgeous and the packaging feels and looks expensive. However, I have experienced better formulae which is why I rarely wear them out.
If you don’t mind the smell and that greasy feel then I would recommend them but to me, they are not worth the $18 price point especially when I’ve experienced better formulae at a lower price point.
