The Collection
I came up with four different shades which are inspired by classic cocktails: Colada, Cosmo, Chocolatini and Daiquiri. I thought about the benefits of the liquid as well as the functional side. They are all infused with extra vitamin E for extra nourishment and high shine, making it healthy for your lips. I did create these 3D structural mock ups.

The Beginning...
I began by storyboarding the functionality of the lip gloss, outlining each step of its use. Next, I researched various testing materials available today, assessing their potential benefits for the product I was developing. I also considered different product shapes and how these would impact both the design structure and the manufacturing process.
I then settled on this hexagon shape as I felt it gave both a luxury feel as well as being able to work in production. The next step was how the test strips would be stored whilst staying discreet. I mocked up what they look like.
