e.l.f. Essentials Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in Summer Nights

I bought this on a whim while I was at Target a week ago.  I have a Clinique Chubby Lip Balm in the color Pudgy Peony that I'm absolutely in love with, so I figured it couldn't hurt to try the more affordable alternative.  I was drawn Summer Nights for some reason.  It looked like a nice bronzy nude with some shimmer to it, perfect to wear at the beach this summer.  I am sooooo disappointed in this product.  At first I got home and swatched it on my hand.  Okay, it's a bit glittery then I thought, but the color seemed nice.

Then I swatched it on my lips.  Huge chunks of glitter and you couldn't see any color.  It reminded me of those glitter lip glosses you wear as a kid.  It felt very waxy on my lips.  But the wax was only a minute part of my dislike for it.  It was the glitter.  I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to get the less "shimmery" shade.  I think I will try one of the not glittery shades like Movie Star or Pink Umbrella.
