For most of us, Inglot must be the only Polish cosmetic brand we know, thanks to its retail presence in many countries. Of course, there exist other Polish cosmetic brands that have remained mainly local and which most of us have no easy access to.
I was introduced to this brand, Virtual, by the lovely Paulina who, yes, lives in Poland. I won this lipgloss in a giveaway she held a while back and this lipgloss arrived very securely wrapped in an envelope and accompanied by a gorgeous scenic postcard. Thanks again, Paulina!
I looked up Virtual's website and found some information on this Maxi Brilliant Lip Gloss. It was all in Polish but this is what I got through Google Translator (with minor corrections here and there):
Lip gloss with gentle coverage, with the effect of spatial reflexes in diamond coating. Apply for a layer of shiny lips, giving them maximum shine, causing the optical magnification. Moisturizes and nourishes the delicate skin, contains complex formula with vitamins A, E and F, and jojoba oil.
According to the website, there are six shades in this range and the one I have is No. 12. It is a pale milky pink with bits of bling-bling shimmer. It has a pleasant, light fruity scent and it is only slightly sticky, which is good! The shine/gloss factor can't be missed.

I unfortunately can't wear pale pinks alone on my lips - doesn't go with my skintone. However, it's nice to layer this Maxi Brilliant Lip Gloss over dark lipstick shades, for a different look or if I want to tone the dark shade down a few notches.
Seen here is Catrice Absolut Moisture Lipstick in 140 Burgundy. Sadly, this range of Absolut Moisture lipsticks is no longer available (at least, here in the Netherlands). I had featured this lipstick in the pinup girl red shade called 070 Luxury Red in June last year.

This is how it looks with Maxi Brilliant Lip Gloss No. 12 layered on top. You can probably just about make out the bits of brilliant shimmer on the lips.
It is stated on the packaging that the lipgloss is produced by Joko Cosmetics, which has its own separate line of makeup.
