A must have. I wish Aveda, or anyone for that matter, could make a lip color so rich and nourishing. I love this stuff. It has a great minty scent/taste (not that I make a practice of eating it!). Great as a base to any lip product, and also great alone.
No SPF in this little gem. BUT I often use under Origins sheer lip color with SPF (the name escapes me at the moment). The two pair magnificently, but the Origins need reapplication every couple of hours, which is fine by me. It's also minty fresh!!

This is a great lipstick! I have Moonflower. I love it a lot because it looks great but you don't have such an lipstickface. It almost adjusts to your lipcolor. It looks very natural.
With a bit care it stays on for a few hours, which is enough for me.

I really like these lipsticks! I have 4 shades so far, my favorite is Sugar Apple. These go on very creamy, give full coverage and great color! They are fairly long wearing, and are very hydrating and comfortable. They're not glitzy and glamorous as far as shimmer and crazy colors, but they are great every day lipsticks (as a freelance makeup artist I love using Sugar Apple on brides, its such a classic romantic look!) I definitely recommend these lipsticks to anyone with dry or cracked lips, because they are definitely nourishing, and have such a nice minty scent!

My current favorite lipstick, just wish Aveda had more color choices for those who need warm tones without shimmer.
I have Sheer Saffron. Lots of things to love about it: it is sheer, but a fairly intense sheer with lots of pigment. No ingredients that you wouldn't want on your lips (have you read about how much stuff you ingest because it is on your lips...danger zone!) Lovely minty smell. Great texture, feels great on lips and moisturizes well. I love the packaging too-- it is refillable. It is small,and the top goes on with a satisfying click and stays in place. Perfect for carrying safely in a purse or pocket. Just wish there were more color choices!

I actually have the Lip Color Sheer, which is the old version of this product, but I assume it's similar. I have it in Sheer Clover, a nice pink. It's a really good lipstick that moisturises well.

UPDATE (2012-02-17): BOYCOTTING RE. CURRENT ANIMAL TESTING FOR CHINESE MARKET
Nourish-Mint Sheer... is the new version of Aveda's Lip Color Sheer range. As of some point this summer. Many of the old colours are still here, and some have reappeared. Moonflower, for instance, once limited edition, is back and in the mainstream. As ever, an excellent range of good colours: try the classic test of going along to the counter, looking in the mirror, biting down on your lips - and you'll find an Aveda colour that matches nicely. (Well, I did, anyway. *Glow.*) This stuff's supposed to smoothe, nourish, and plump lips; and there's an accompanying Nourish-Mint Renewing Lip Treatment, that is just a colourless version of these lipsticks. Or their tinted version of it. More tinted still, have a look at the Nourish-Mint Smoothing Mineral Lip Color.
For the pale blue, there are quite a few options: Moonflower (light, slightly peach-pinky, really lovely); Mandarin (more beige-tawny; maybe for the warmer-toned); Filaree (deeper than Moonflower, and a little like Fossil in the Smooth Lip Color line).
Having just decided to get Moonflower (I did anyway), I was delighted to see that one of my favourite old lipsticks, Lip Color Sheer in Clover, has not in fact been discontinued, but is part of the new revamped range. Hooray.
Sheer Clover is a great everyday lipstick, YBB on very fair skin; a shade darker than my actual mouth (see The Bite Test above). Very like the Aveda Lip Glaze in Raspberry Tea, which I sometimes wear it under. The colour is a light rose/faded berry (akin to the "Raspberry") with a well-chosen peachy-tawny undertone (like "tea" - imagine well-brewed milky chai). This undertone helps it go well with red hair - enough goldiness and russet, no coral/orange. There's also enough lilac undertone to go well with pale blue skin and - importantly - not look brown or muddy. All in all, a lovely lift to one's natural assets. I live in terror of lipglosses and lipsticks that make me look like a hooker or a corpse, and I'm too aged to get away with full-on goth any more (sigh; still firmly wearing lots of black clothes though).
Easy to apply. It is sheer, so will not give you more than a subtle wash of colour; two or three coats, with blotting in between, makes it stronger and last longer. It stays on fairly well; always an issue with the sheer colours, that they go fast. It is, however, nicely moisturizing: probably more attractive and comfortable than those last-forever lipsticks that leave you with dried-out cracked lips with gore in the crevasses.
Flavoured, like the various Aveda glazes too, with mint (and a very mild vanilla - not much, and it fades quickly; the old version also had ginger in it I think???). Not sure abou the plumping, but feels nice and lips are in good condition. I find the flavour pleasant, but I do eat these things regularly, and loathe and despise things on my lips that taste of things I don't usually put in my mouth voluntarily and for pleasure (bubblegum, fake fruit, super-sweet candy, crude oil, etc.). NB Aveda seems to be getting rid of their previous array of favours (that had put me off a lot of the total range), though still some aniseed and cinnamon (the SPF15 lip balm. Loathe.)
Costs around EUR 18.00 (!!!). Let's just not talk about how much less it is in USD, or even in GBP (well, let's: GBP 10.30 at current rates, so we're paying 50% over the odds on Aveda here in the Eurozone; as compared to the US, it's OK, we're quite used to paying double your prices...).
All very green and nice on the packaging front; no animal testing; lasts quite a while. I'm using this in evenings or on top of regular day-time lippie (Aveda SPF lip tint in Peony - an allied shade). And sometimes, as mentioned, under the Raspberry Tea lip glaze.
