Honestly, I wasn’t really sold on this whole “Bunny Tongue Lip Gloss” thing at first. Sounded kinda gimmicky, right? Like, bunny tongue? Really? But hey, the packaging was cute as heck – couldn’t resist grabbing one when I was browsing the drugstore aisle waiting for my antihistamines last Tuesday.
So, What Did I Actually Do With This Stuff?
Got home, unpacked the groceries, and that little tube was just staring at me. Curiosity finally won out. I popped open the cap. It looked… well, like lip gloss. Shiny, slightly pink-ish. Nothing screamed “rabbit” at me. Then I touched the wand. Okay, that felt different. Not sticky gel, not oily goop. It was super cushiony and soft, kinda bouncy? Honestly weird at first touch, but interesting. Like pressing a super soft sponge or something.
Went to the bathroom mirror. No prep, lips were their usual slightly dry self – it’s been windy here lately. Smeared that gloss on. Application was smooth, zero pulling. Felt… hydrating instantly? Like a drink for my lips. But weirdly, it didn’t feel heavy or slick like petrolatum. Held onto the lips without that slippery slide-off feeling. Tasted vaguely sweet, nothing strong. Noticed a slight, super subtle plumping tingle – warm, not painful. Okay, point one: weird texture that actually works.
Putting This Bunny To The Test (Daily Grind)
Decided this couldn’t just be a one-time feel test. Had to use it like real life. Here’s what that looked like:
- Morning Rush: Smeared it on while coffee brewed instead of my usual balm. Didn’t need to reapply before leaving the house. Shine lasted through my commute.
- Post-Lunch Situation: Ate a kinda messy burrito. Wiped my mouth. Expected bare, sad lips… but nope! Still a decent amount of colour and hydration hanging on. Touched up super easily. Didn’t ball up or go patchy.
- Nighttime Experiment: Slathered a thicker layer on before bed like an overnight mask. Woke up feeling like my lips had actually absorbed something good, not just sealed in dryness.
A week in? Honestly surprised. Lips felt consistently softer. That annoying lip-peel cycle? Slowed way down. Could finally wear matte lipstick without it looking flaky desert terrain after an hour. Didn’t even need lipstick much – this gloss gave a healthy wash of color.
3 Real Reasons It Earned Its Spot In My Bag
Forget the bunny gimmick. Based on actually forcing myself to put this tube through it:
- Hydration That Sticks Around: It actually sinks in and sits on top? Hydrates deep without feeling like I dipped my lips in cooking oil. Lasts way longer than my old balms, especially eating or drinking.
- Texture That Doesn’t Fight You: That bouncy, cushiony feel? Not just for show. Applies smooth, feels weightless, never gets sticky or tacky. Seriously easy and comfy to wear.
- Real Improvement, Not Just Shine: Big shocker: my lips actually got healthier. Less peeling, less tightness. The subtle plump? Probably blood flow from the gentle tingle. Means less liner needed for definition. Work smarter, not harder.
Look, I bought it for the cute bunny. I kept using it because the weird tongue texture magic actually delivered. My lips feel legit better. Do you need it? Probably not. But if your lips constantly feel dry or look flaky no matter what you try? This stupidly named gloss genuinely worked better than anything else I’ve rubbed on my face recently. Jury’s still out on whether bunnies actually have magic tongues, though.
