Hey beauty lovers! Today I’m diving DEEP into the Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper Lip Gloss in shade 700 Love At Frost Sight. I’ve been testing this for weeks now, and I’ve got THOUGHTS. Let’s break down everything about this minty little tube of shine!
First Impressions & Packaging
The first thing I noticed was the sleek, clean packaging – nothing too fancy but definitely not cheap-looking either. The tube is pretty generous at 0.33oz, which is actually a good amount of product compared to other glosses on the market. Several reviewers mentioned how much product you get for the price, and I agree!
One small issue some customers faced: at least one person received their gloss unsealed, which is definitely not ideal. Mine came perfectly sealed, but it’s something to watch out for when you order.
The Color & Finish
Okay, the shade “Love At Frost Sight” is GORGEOUS! It’s a beautiful frosty shade with the perfect amount of shimmer. Not too in-your-face glittery, but enough to catch the light in a really flattering way.
Most users seem to agree that the color is a standout feature:
- “The color is so pretty”
- “My goodness, the color is beautiful”
- “Beautiful colour and I love the shimmering to it!!!”
What I’ve noticed is that it’s more glossy than pigmented – which means it gives a nice shine but doesn’t pack an intense color punch. For everyday wear, this is actually perfect since it’s super wearable.
Application & Feel
The gloss applies smoothly and evenly – no patchiness or stickiness! The texture is creamy rather than thick or goopy, which means no hair sticking to your lips on a windy day (we’ve ALL been there!).
The standout sensation is definitely the minty tingle. It has a cool, refreshing feeling when applied that most users actually enjoy:
- “I love the minty feel”
- “I love the minty tingling feeling that it brings to my lips when applied!!”
One Spanish-speaking reviewer mentioned it burned their lips for a few minutes, which suggests the tingling sensation might be too intense for some people with sensitive lips. If you’re sensitive to menthol or mint, this might not be your match.
The Plumping Effect…or Lack Thereof?
This is where opinions get mixed. The product claims to be a lip plumper, but the actual plumping effect seems minimal at best:
- “Not sure if plumper is noticeable.”
- “It tingles like other lip plumpers do, but just like other lip plumpers, I don’t notice a difference in my lips.”
- One reviewer even mentioned that they “wish it actually plumped my lips! That would save me from having to get a lip flip every couple months!”
If you’re buying this SPECIFICALLY for dramatic plumping effects, you might be disappointed. The tingle is there, but the visible plumping? Not so much. Let’s be real – no lip gloss is going to give you filler-like results!
Staying Power & Hydration
For a gloss, this actually lasts pretty well! Most glosses disappear within an hour, but several reviewers noted the impressive staying power:
- “Stays on a long time too!!”
- “I reapply every 4 to 6 hours”
That’s AMAZING longevity for a gloss! It’s also decently moisturizing according to most users, which is a nice bonus since some plumping products can be drying.
The Vegan Formula
One thing worth highlighting is that this is a vegan formula. Covergirl has been making strides toward more ethical and clean beauty options, and this product falls in line with that mission. If animal-friendly beauty is important to you, this is definitely a plus!
Real-World Wearability
What I love about this gloss is its versatility. As one reviewer put it, “it goes with any outfit, to the gym if you want, and overall just makes me feel sexy.”
This isn’t a high-maintenance product – it’s the type of gloss you can throw in your bag and apply without a mirror if needed. It’s subtle enough for daytime wear but adds enough shine for evening looks too.
Who Should Buy This?
This gloss is perfect for:
- People who want a pretty, everyday gloss with some shimmer
- Those who enjoy cooling, minty lip products
- Anyone looking for a cruelty-free/vegan option
- People who want a hydrating formula
- Those who prefer glossy over matte finishes
Maybe skip if:
- You have very sensitive lips that react to mint/menthol
- You’re expecting dramatic lip plumping results
- You prefer highly pigmented lip products
Value for Money
At its price point (usually around $10-12), this gloss offers excellent value. The tube is generously sized, and since you’re not reapplying constantly like with some glosses, it lasts a good while. One reviewer mentioned they were “about to run out” and needed to reorder, suggesting they used the product long enough to finish it and liked it enough to buy again!
The Bottom Line
Covergirl’s Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper in Love At Frost Sight is a solid 4/5 stars in my book. It delivers on shine, comfort, and a pretty frost finish, even if the plumping effect is subtle at best.
Most reviewers seem genuinely happy with their purchase, with one even declaring they “will be a forever customer with this item for sure.” That’s pretty high praise for a drugstore lip product!
If you’re looking for a comfortable, minty gloss with a beautiful frosty finish that won’t break the bank, this is definitely worth adding to your makeup bag. Just don’t expect it to replace your lip injections! 😉
Final Thoughts
I’ve tried A LOT of lip glosses in my time as a beauty expert, from high-end to drugstore, and I can honestly say that Covergirl has created something special here. The Clean Fresh line continues to impress me with its combination of clean, vegan formulas and actual performance.
This particular gloss hits that sweet spot of being affordable without feeling cheap. The comfort level, pretty color, and decent staying power make it a standout in the drugstore lip category.
So is it worth the hype? For the most part, YES! Just adjust your expectations about the plumping effect, and you’ll likely be as happy with it as most of the reviewers seem to be!
Have you tried this gloss yet? What’s your favorite shade in the line? I’m thinking of trying more colors since so many reviewers mentioned they were planning to do the same!
