The special branding:
This gloss was a limited edition item and was particularly released at the time the movie 'pink panther 2' was hitting the theatres. We all have memories from our childhood with our favourite cartoon being the Pink Panther. Even though the movie was nothing like it neither was it related to it but at that time all major brands released some sort of special collections pertaining to the release, and so Foschini also came up with this gloss adding it to be a collectables item.
My experience:
I also grabbed this gloss mainly because of it being tagged with Pink Panther, maybe it was just another marketing strategy of the company. The gloss was neither pink nor panthered! lol. It is a very basic clear gloss but definitely with a good formulation. It has a thick but not sticky consistency and comes in a wobbly tube. I usually use it as a top coat for my lipsticks or other dryer glosses as it gives a very smooth look hiding all my lip lines. The tube comes with a slanted but even opening enabling smooth application:
And this is how the gloss inside looks like:
I got this gloss from a Foschini store for $4 at that time and it always helps me whenever I can't decide what to wear on my lips. I can always even just wear it alone and I'm good to go :)
