Too Faced Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss Review

Intro

Too Faced's Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss positions itself as a hybrid: the moisturizing feel of an oil with the high-shine and tint of a gloss. The listing highlights 12-hour moisture and a blend of sunflower and jojoba seed oils, and owners repeatedly praise the shine, light texture, and dessert-like scents. At the same time, buyer feedback flags a few predictable tradeoffs for a flashy gloss—smaller-than-expected tube size for the price, some artificial-tasting scents, and finishes that skew sparkly, not matte. This review pulls together listing claims and owner experience to help you decide whether this is a safe, practical gift for someone on your list.

What it is / first look

At face value the Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss is a moisturizing lip gloss marketed as a lip-oil hybrid. The listing calls it a "Kissing Jelly Lip Oil" with a "Cooling Lip Gloss" effect and promotes features such as "Delivers 12 hours of moisture," "Infused with a blend of Sunflower & Jojoba Seed Oils," "Hydration with a hint of sheer candy color," and an "Instant high-shine glossy finish." The listing also states the product is "Vegan & Cruelty Free."

Packaging and size: the product's listed dimensions are 1.14 x 1.14 x 3.11 inches and listed product weight is 1.31 ounces. The brand and model information in the listing name the product as the Too Faced Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss (model number 3EL7010000). Buyers should expect a small, purse-friendly tube rather than a full-size lipstick.

Shade range: the listing offers a wide set of shade/finish options—everything from sheer clear with shimmer to bold electric fuchsia and glittery lavender. Available color names in the listing include Raspberry, Green Apple, Birthday Kiss, Piña Colada, Strawberry Frosting, Sour Watermelon, Cream Soda, Peach Rings, Bubblegum, Grape Soda, Cherry Pie, Sweet Cotton Candy, and Birthday Kiss (Light Lavender) among others. That lineup signals this is designed to be playful and sparkle-forward rather than a subtle, one-shade-fits-all gloss.

Who this is a good gift for

Make the match, not the assumption. Below are concrete recipient types and the conditions that need to be true for the gift to work.

The sparkle-and-scent fan

• Why it fits: Owners frequently praise the scent/flavor notes and the amount of shimmer—people who enjoy sugary, dessert-like cosmetic scents and visible sparkle will likely love multiple shades.
• Assumption to check: The recipient likes shimmer and scented lip products and doesn’t have fragrance sensitivity.

The daily gloss user who wants hydration

• Why it fits: The listing claims 12 hours of moisture and highlights sunflower and jojoba seed oils; many buyers report the gloss feels hydrating and not sticky, making it a strong daily-wear option for those who prefer glossy, nourished lips over matte formulas.
• Assumption to check: The recipient prefers glossy finishes and will reapply as needed—this is not a transfer-proof matte lipstick.

The teen or younger adult who likes playful makeup

• Why it fits: The range of bright, candy-like shades (Bubblegum, Sour Watermelon, Raspberry) plus sparkling finishes is aimed at a younger, trend-forward audience who enjoy collecting multiple shades.
• Assumption to check: The recipient is comfortable with flavored/scented cosmetics and is not restricted by school or work makeup policies.

The casual gift for a friend or stocking stuffer

• Why it fits: It’s a compact, broadly appealing beauty item with a fun presentation—good as a small, casual present or add-on to a larger beauty gift.
• Assumption to check: You’re okay with giving a personal-use cosmetic (color and scent preferences are involved).

The makeup multitasker who likes hybrids

• Why it fits: The product is described as a lip oil/gloss hybrid and owners describe a jelly-like, non-sticky texture that adds shine and some plumping appearance—so it suits someone who prefers hydrating, glossy finishes rather than dry mattes.
• Assumption to check: The recipient does not prefer long-lasting, transfer-proof lip color or a matte finish.

In daily use

Application and feel: Owners consistently describe the texture as lightweight, jelly-like, and non-sticky. Several notes mention a soft applicator and easy, smooth application that gives a high-shine finish without tackiness. That aligns with the listing's positioning as a hydrating gloss rather than a heavy, sticky syrup.

Hydration and wear: The listing advertises "Delivers 12 hours of moisture," and owner feedback often echoes that the gloss feels hydrating and comfortable over longer periods than typical glosses. Multiple owners used language like "really hydrating" and "lasting hydration," and one owner explicitly said the product's longevity is "incredible." Keep in mind that perceived wear time can vary by wearer, environment, and frequency of eating/drinking; the listing's 12-hour claim is a manufacturer statement.

Finish and color payoff: Expect a glossy, jelly look rather than opaque color. Owners describe subtle tints that enhance natural lip color combined with glitter or shimmer in many shades. Some shades are described as heavier on sparkle (Bubblegum, Birthday Kiss) while others are more glossy and sheer (Raspberry, Piña Colada). If the recipient prefers a clean, matte finish, this will not be a match.

Flavor and scent: Scent and mild flavor are a recurring theme in owner feedback. Several buyers call the scents delicious or candy-like—cotton candy and bubblegum were specifically named by multiple owners—while a minority call certain shades or flavors "artificial" or "weird" (owners mentioned Green Apple and Grape Soda as less-liked flavors). If scent or taste is a big deal for the recipient, this is worth checking in advance.

Packaging and size in use: Owners call the tube "cute" and "purse-friendly," but there is a persistent comment that the tube is smaller than expected for the price. One owner explicitly compared it to a 0.15 fl oz size and said it felt small; the listing’s product dimensions and weight support that this is a compact item. For heavy daily users, the small size may require frequent repurchase.

Materials & build quality

What the listing says: The listing lists sunflower and jojoba seed oils as part of the formula and claims the product is "Vegan & Cruelty Free." Beyond those highlights, the listing does not provide a full ingredient list or packaging-material breakdown in the product facts provided here. The listing also touts "Hydration with a hint of sheer candy color" and an "Instant high-shine glossy finish."

Owners’ hands-on signals: Buyers repeatedly note a lightweight, non-sticky jelly texture and a soft applicator. Multiple owners praised the shine and shimmer and said the gloss feels nourishing—comments that suggest the formula achieves the moisturizing finish the listing promises. No owner feedback in the provided notes mentions leakage, broken applicators, or packaging failure as common problems.

Durability and longevity: From a product-quality viewpoint, there are two durability angles to consider—how long a tube lasts for the user and how the effect (gloss, shimmer) holds up during wear. Owners generally say the gloss lasts well on the lips and maintains shine; however, because the tube is small, the product itself may be used up quickly by frequent wearers. The listing's "12 hours of moisture" claim is relevant here but should be treated as a manufacturer statement; owners' remarks support stronger-than-average perceived hydration but don't substitute for lab verification.

Safety considerations

Ingredient transparency: The listing calls out sunflower and jojoba seed oils and labels the product as "Vegan & Cruelty Free." It does not provide a full ingredient panel in the product facts supplied here, so anyone with known sensitivities, allergies, or ingredient concerns should verify the full ingredient list on the current product page or packaging before gifting or using.

Fragrance and flavor: Several owners highlight pronounced scents and dessert-like flavors (cotton candy, bubblegum, fruity notes). While many buyers liked these flavor/scent profiles, a smaller group described certain shades as having an "artificial" taste. If the recipient has fragrance sensitivity, scent allergies, or is sensitive to flavored lip products, this is a potential issue.

Claims to treat as manufacturer statements: The listing claims "Delivers 12 hours of moisture," "Infused with a blend of Sunflower & Jojoba Seed Oils," and "Vegan & Cruelty Free." Treat these as claims by the brand; they are useful guideposts but not independent safety certifications. The listing does not provide explicit certifications or ingredient approvals in the product facts shown here.

Allergic reactions and lip products in general: Lip products sit on sensitive skin and are frequently licked or ingested in tiny amounts. Because the listing doesn’t show the full ingredient panel here, verify ingredients for potential allergens (botanical extracts, flavors, colorants) before gifting to sensitive recipients. The most practical step for gift givers is to choose a neutral shade and/or include a gift receipt or card noting the scent/ingredient claims and the option to exchange if the recipient is sensitive.

Who should skip it

• Anyone who absolutely avoids scented or flavored cosmetics—owner feedback highlights pronounced sweet scents and tastes in many shades.
• Someone who prefers matte or transfer-proof lip finishes—this is a gloss; the effect is glossy, shiny, and often sparkly.
• Recipients with known allergies to cosmetic fragrances, certain botanical oils, or glitter/large shimmer particles should avoid this unless you can verify a safe ingredient list for that person.
• Buyers who want a large, long-lasting tube for heavy daily use—the product is compact and owners point out small size relative to price.

Verdict

Buy / Maybe / Skip: For a playful, giftable gloss for someone who likes shiny, scented, shimmer-forward lip products, this is a strong buy—owners praise the non-sticky, hydrating feel, soft applicator, and candy-like scents. If you’re gifting to a person who prefers subtle, scent-free, or matte lip products—or if the recipient has fragrance or ingredient sensitivities—this is a maybe/skip unless you can confirm preferences and ingredients first.

Best gift fit: A teen, a sparkle-loving friend, or a casual beauty fan who reaches for gloss in their daily routine. It’s also an easy add-on/stocking stuffer for a makeup-themed gift. Because the listing highlights moisturizing oils and owners find the formula comfortable and hydrating, it’s a defensible small present for someone who likes lip care and shine.

Check before you buy (quick checklist)

• Confirm scent/flavor tolerance—owners report prominent, sweet scents (bubblegum, cotton candy) and some report artificial tastes.
• Verify allergens—ask to see a full ingredient list on the current product page or packaging if the recipient has skin or fragrance sensitivities.
• Pick the right finish—this is glossy and often sparkly; skip if the recipient wants matte or subtle finishes.
• Consider size expectations—owners say the tube is small for the price; if the recipient uses gloss heavily, factor that into your gift plan.
• Include a receipt or exchange option—color and scent are personal, and the listing offers many shades with distinct finishes.
