Meh
Honestly, I really didn't have the highest of hopes for this product, so finding the negative reviews of this one is no surprise. I bought this in a buy one get one 50% off deal, with a $4 off coupon. So I paid about $6 for two of these. One was a berry-ish shade in Smolder, the other is a clear brownish shade, Ember. I bought these for quick trips out of the house when I want something more than chapstick. This gloss isn't richly pigmented, the color is very very sheer...so for me it serves its purpose. There is an odd chemical taste, but it dissipates after a few seconds. You get such a small amount of this stuff that it doesn't justify paying full price for this. Would not buy again unless these were super-discounted or a buy one get one type of deal. I have two of these, the clear and the gold. The gold glitter is very gritty and patchy. I love the idea of having these to apply over lipsticks but, I rarely use them. The quality is not bad, but not great either. Covergirl makes much better lipgloss, stay clear of these. Also the packaging seems awkward to me, like to keeps in a purse. I was never into lip gloss, but decided i needed to up-date my make-up. I saw Drew Berrymore touting this stuff and it looked so nice in the photos, so i picked up a couple, one pale golden with gold glitter (Flare - 845), one slightly milky with iridescent glitter (Glimmer - 870). . The packaging looks cute. But when you pull out the doe foot applicator, the container is only about half full. Yes, nearly half the volume of this tiny tube is taken up by the applicator. . And the gloss is just GROSS! First, it smells like a cross between melon/cucumber (which isn't so bad) and some toxic chemical (which is appallingly awful). Second, it has the consistency of wet mucous - totally disgusting. Third, it isn't sticky, the bane of so many glosses, because it's just like slime, slime, i tell you! Fourth, it sure is shiny which is fine, but it's so "wet" it just wears off in seconds - a real waste of money - if you can stand the stinky smell and the revolting texture. . I have a lot of glosses i love now (esp. MAC). I only use ShineBlast when performing, to add shimmer on top of my on-stage lip look, 'cuz i'm stuck with it. I certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone for any reason. I don't normally say this because we all like different stuff, but eeeew! don't waste your money! So I bought this first of all to go with my maybeliine lipstain. For some reason I thought it would be like a mac lip gloss. I thought this has to be good because this is soooo small and yet its $8.00! So first of all the smell is ok, I do smell the watermelon. But this thing .13oz, just like everyone says the applicator fills up most of the container so there isnt much lip rpoduct in there. AND its small in the first place! Theres nothing extordinary about it. It doesnt feel very good, I like it to be thick and kind of tacky or REALLY slick, if Im gonna pay that much I expect something to stand out in it. I got 805 which is one of them (compared to the others) that seem to have more pigment in it, than just a colored gloss. BUT NOPE. it looks clear. There is no way I would ever buy this again..I have this bonne bell lipgloss in strawberry parfait and yeah it doesnt feel like ne thing special but the color is great and it cost like 3 bucks IF THAT. I dont see this as beeing something thats gonna stay around! I bought this in two separate shades (one pink and one natural colored) when it was on sale Buy One Get One 50% Off at a store. The original price was $10.75 for one little tube (it's all wand) which is disgusting for something that small...But needless to say this product is Eh. It lasts for about ten to fifteen minutes on my lips. Nice shine but NO color whatsoever. I couldn't see either color once it was on. It would most likely look better over the Cover Girl Lipstain for that touch of color, which is how this gloss is advertised...I found that it also can get drying on your lips, so I would have to use Chapstick about 5 minutes before applying this product. Overall I probably won't buy again 1) because of the price 2) the amount of product is minimal and 3) there is no color behind these glosses. You are better off buying chapstick. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Great Lips
I really love these lip glosses because they have a lot of shine and shimmer and seem to last all day. I like the soft feel of the gloss that doesn't feel sticky. These colors make my lips shine all day. — 2 years, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

shines good.....
The shine is good, but doesn't last very well so I would have to reapply way to much to use this often — 2 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
