Wouldn't recommend "Au Naturale" because of the strong chemical scent...
I have very mixed feelings about this product. I ordered two colors: “Sorority Girl” and “Au Naturale”. While I really like the “Sorority Girl” I was extremely put off by the scent of “Au Naturale”, which I found strange because the “Sorority Girl” doesn’t have any scent at all. I do have to say that, as always, I was very impressed with “e.l.f.”’s customer service b...read moreecause they immediately shipped out a replacement, but unfortunately it smelled just the same as the first one. With that being sad, these are more on a sticky side which I don’t mind because it actually makes them stay on your lips longer. Both of the colors I chose have shimmer in them but the shimmer is very fine and isn’t offensive or vulgar. Both of these colors are very natural looking on the lips as well. “Sorority Girl” is kind of a mixture of “dusty rose” and “coral” and “Au Naturale” is just an extremely flattering natural light soft pink. Contrary to my negative feelings about the scent of “Au Naturale”, I actually fell in love with the color so it really upsets me that I’m not able to use it. I honestly don’t know if they both came from a bad batch or if it’s something consistent with this particular shade. They are both more on the opaque side; I really wouldn't call them sheer… They feel creamy on the lips and, as I said earlier, just a little sticky which gives them a pretty good staying power. When they do wear off, they leave your lips very natural looking and there is no color outline left anywhere on your lips or any kind of residue at all. I would recommend both of these if I were to forego the very unpleasant chemical scent of “Au Natural”, but because of this I have to give these only 6 stars… It unfortunately made me very sceptical to try other colors…This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Love!
A friend gave me a tube of this gloss in the Sorority Girl shade and I love it! On me it's a nice nude shade (which has been difficult for me to find for my coloring). The texture is smooth and wonderful. It has some shimmer to it, without being overwhelmingly sparkly. No chunky glitter and not even a little bit sticky. It lasts a long time and while I wouldn't say it's really a moisturizing gloss...read more, it isn't drying either. I recently ordered this same gloss in another shade and I can't wait to try it! Update: I've been wearing the shade I ordered (Daring) and except for the shape of the tube and style of applicator, I'd swear these were not the same gloss! Daring looks like a nice vibrant red in the tube, but gives only a hint of color and lots of shine and shimmer. This one doesn't have icky chunky glitter, either, but it is VERY sticky. I've gotten used to the stickiness, especially since it makes this gloss really last. I put it on at 3 before I leave work and at 6:30 (and after a run) I can still feel it there without any reapplication. I still like this and have been wearing it, but I like the color and texture of Sorority Girl a lot better.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

UPDATE 11/27/14: My new favorite!
UPDATE 11/27/14: I purchased another tube in Au Naturale and also one in Daring, a red tone with gold glitter. I didn't notice a scent like another reviewer mentioned, but I did notice a stickier texture than I recall last year. I have been wearing Daring as a red top to a red lipstick, and find myself reapplying more. I was also not thrilled with the pigmentation of Daring - I found it a lot less...read more DARING than I hoped! Perhaps the formula has changed?? I prefer a slick textured gloss with lots of shine; Daring in particular felt sticky. I am still willing to give it another try but am on the fence a bit more today than last year. As a result, I am changing my "10" to an "8"......... I bought this gloss in Au Naturale which is a gold nude. The packaging is sleek and modern, and the texture is smooth and not sticky or goopy. It lasts as long as any other great lipgloss would; maybe 3 to 4 hours. I am sure it would last even longer with a lipstick and liner. It is such a great deal and I would absolutely buy again. And at this price, I can afford to try them all. :) The only thing I noticed was that the sponge applicator felt a little rough and I had to pump it a few times to get enough product on it. However, Nars lipgloss is the same way and at 10x the price. It definitely is not enough to deter me from purchasing.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Pretty
I bought a couple of these and they are pretty good. Love all the colors I got. However, they are kind of sticky for my taste. My favorite is in Bare. They come with a doe foot applicator and the packaging is sleek.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Trophy Wife
I got this lipgloss in Trophy Wife because I thought it would be like the Nars Moon Fleet, but its a bit less golden and more clear, and the gold flecks arent as prominent. Its a tad bit sticky and I dont really care for the applicator, you need to apply it a few times to get enough product on your lips, but it does give a nice glossy look. Best used over a lipstick. It did last about 4-5 hours, w...read morehich I think is pretty long for a gloss. For the affordable price of $3, I would be willing to try other colors. The great thing too is that its very portable and compact so it fits perfectly in a clutch or coin purse, and it also stores well. Cute packaging too.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Sorority Girl
Got this color with my last order. It goes on so well and stays on all day. It has minimal stickiness to it, but just the right amount of shimmer. I love the color, it was exactly the example on the website, and how nice it looks. Great product!!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Never Failing
The first time you see the price, you instantly think "this stuff cannot be that great. It's so CHEAP!" And you are right about the cheap part, the price that is...but the quality is fantastic. I pick up a new item whenever I browse the travel size section of Target and I am always excited to find a new product by the exciting brand. Their lipglosses aren't sticky and ...tast great, and...read more they have an awesome skin highlighter that works wonders in so many places_ the eyes, the brow, the cheeks, the center of the lips.

Deceiving At First
When I first took the wand out of the gloss it seemed syrupy and I was immediately thinking sticky. Then I applied it and it had sort of a funny smell. But after wearing it I fell in love. I've read a few reviews saying no color pay off but that's actually what sold me. I don't like heavily pigmented glosses so sheer colors are awesome. Each one has a very nice sheer hint of color that look great ...read morealone or over lipstick. They feel very smooth too, they weren't sticky despite the thick texture. They last a long time as well. So don't let the texture and smell deter you because once you put it on it's nice feeling. If you are looking for dark colored gloss this is not for you. They've become my new favorite glosses.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
