I have several tubes of Shiny Sheers because they're so convenient and flattering. I have these in Dewy Blossom (medium to bright pink--have repurchased this one b/c I use this one most often), Peachy Sheen (orange peach), Rose (meh color, looks almost melon-rose to me), Honey Drizzle (light nude tan), and Ruby Radiance (dark red--too dramatic for me). I like that there's SPF 15 in them so it's really one-step lip makeup. Color varies from sheer (Honey Drizzle and Peachy Sheen) to more coverage (Ruby Radiance, Rose) to in between (Dewy Blossom--can be sheer to medium coverage depending on how heavily you apply). They have some shimmer in them, and I've found that the glitter in Peachy Sheen gets gritty and remains on your lips after the balm wears off. All of them leave a great glossy finish, especially Peachy Sheen and Honey Drizzle, and are slightly moisturizing. Lasting power is pretty good; will need to reapply after a meal or hot drink, but otherwise ~ 3 hours (which is pretty good for essentially a lip gloss/balm). June 2, 2008, 11:13 pm

I like this product a lot. It feels nice, natural, no sticky. It does not have a weird, chemical smell or aftertaste. Color is sheer enough to apply without a mirror, which is important for me because I am always so busy during the day, I don't have time to go to bathroom to fix my makeup :) be careful with darker colors though... they are unexpectedly pigmented. I got a red one, and I have to be veeeeery light handed with it. May 20, 2008, 9:22 pm

I adore this product - it applies evenly, doesn't dry out the lips, gives a good shot of color with shine and a bit of transparency. Almost gives the effect of a lipstick over a balm. Sheer enough that I can apply without a mirror, but enough pigment that it really isn't a typical lipgloss. A wonderful transition product for gloss junkies who are trying to go with the trend of classic lipsticks for this season. December 11, 2007, 5:45 am
