A Bit Overpriced for the Performance
I picked this up for about $7.99 on a whim because the clear packaging with the gold cap and writing on it looked so tempting, and the colors were gorgeous from what I could see. And after trying it, I'm not disappointed, but I do think that this is a bit overpriced for the performance. If I were to price it performance-wise, I'd give it a $6.99 price tag. I really like the color selection, and th...read moree packaging. The packaging is some of the prettiest and most chic I've seen for lip gloss in a long time, and the color selection has everything from clear gloss to fun glosses to work or school appropriate shades. After opening the tube, I got a whiff of the scent, which smelled like caramels. Not a bad thing unless you don't like that scent. The gloss itself is very nice. It's very moisturizing, shiny, creamy, and smooth. The colors don't look like what they did in the tube, however. They are incredibly sheer, like red and pink will only have a slight difference in tint. I have the very purple-looking plum color, but when I put it on, it looks more like a very slight pinkish lilac than a deep plum. So if you were looking for more pigmentation, this gloss will not fit the bill. But for barely noticeable, sheer color, this gloss is perfect. The formula is a bit sticky, so I have to be careful with it when my hair's down, but no complaints other than that. The application is average, it's just like any other squeeze-tube applicator: smooth, with a hole in the middle. However L'Oreal's seems to be smaller than others. This is good for precision, but for me, it made it hard to put on without a mirror. The lasting power of this gloss is okay, but it's not exceptional. It's gone as soon as you eat or sip water a few times, and without touching it, it "disappears" in about an hour. Overall, I like this gloss and I can see myself buying it again on sale for when I want barely-there color with tons of moisture, but for color, I'll look for something else.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Luscious!
Oh-so-pretty, grown-up colors that are truly sophisticated, not sophomoric. Smooth, lightly creamy texture, glided on easily, soft yet pigmented color. The formula tastes and smells very much like vanilla cake batter to me ~ not unpleasant but somewhat strong so beware if you're sensitive. It's comfortably moisturizing for my dry lips, not sticky. I bought a gorgeous shade called Saucy Mauve - a d...read moreeep peachy coral color that does have sparkles, but they're very subtle on application, not loud or ridiculous. I'm really just loving this gloss....UPDATE: Just went and bought another tube in the shade Nude Illusion - a super-pretty nude with the softest golden glimmer. I probably will be going back and buying more shades - the colors are so gorgeous. These do not stay on very long, but the tube is so easy to use and carry with you that touch-ups are quick and painless. Yup, I LOVE this gloss!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful
