BareMinerals’ Pretty Amazing Lip Gloss in Oomph

Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a gigantic case of NameFail. The color called “oomph” is utterly bereft of same. It's a supersheer light pink sheen that barely has any color payoff even when applied heavily. Why they didn't use this name for…well, a color that actually shows up, is beyond me.

This was one of the two new coverage-shades released in the 2011 Holiday Pretty Amazing Lip Collection kit. The other was Sass. Both of these colors are very sheer, and there's no color payoff unless you leave them applied very heavily.
