I love this gloss balm. I have it in Coral and its a defo MLBB! Shimmery, but not in a glittery sense. Makes my lips super moisturised and looking it too. Doesnt dry my lips out either which is ace!
Only issue is the packaging. It seems to flimsy, and it looks as tho my gloss has already started to "give" at the base as its looking all mushed up down there. Will still buy again tho as its a lovely colour.

Really awesome product. I've never had the guts to pull off really intense red lips before, so I thought I'd start with Max factor's sheer gloss balm in "red garnet." I was surprised at how nicely it blended into my own lip colour at first. I didn't use a lip liner or anything. And it was naturally glossy but not over-the-top glossy. It builds up nicely after more applications, but it doesn't look flaky or gross like some other lipsticks I've bought in the past. It doesn't look fake either. If you only put on a thin coat you look like you have naturally flushed lips. I love it!
Also bought the "amber" shade. It's more of an orange/coral shade but it doesn't show up orange, it's more of a peach colour which is really nice. I wear these shades to work everyday and it looks very natural but adds just enough colour to my face.

Lovely colored lip balm with just the right amount of pigmentation for work/school wear. Good selection of shades and the smell is great, it's also very moisturizing and feels great on the lips. Big plus for SPF. I have this in the shade "Coral", but will definitely buy more shades if I can find it online. For the price, you don't get a very large amount of product at retail price.

I have this in the shade Red Garnet (#4). Its beautiul bright red color that looks quite sheer on the lips but it can be layered and appear really bold and pigmented after you apply it many times. They are really moisturizing and if you are using it a lot because of dry lips you may end up with a really pigmented red color. They are really glossy and have a bit of shine. They lasts for quite a long time. I don't like the packaging though, it seems like it could break any second and I'm surprised the cap hasn't broken yet. I plan to purchase two or three more shades but at 6 or 7 euros they are not that cheap plus I really try to avoid buying products by companies that still test on animals.

I purchased the shade: rose quartz, a dusty rose colour that is almost a my lips but better shade. At first glance, I thought these were lipsticks, but I am quite impressed because the pigmentation of these are quite fantastic. I didn't give this 5 lippy's because my shade looks a little frosty on me and I'm personally not a big fan of those types of finishes. I would buy again but in a different shade since they are handy to pop in your bag when you need a little "pop" of colour. They feel moisturizing, not waxy and best of all don't dry out my lips.

I lovelovelove these balms! They go on very sheer, much less bold than they look in the tube, but I like that about them. They're quite moisturising, stay on well and feel very weightless. The only downsides are that they get used up fast, and are way more expensive than other lip balms such as vaseline . . . But then again, vaseline looks nowhere near as good! I would highly recommend them to anyone in the three shades I have; "pink oyster shell" "pink opal" and "coral".

I'm surprised this range has not been reviewed as yet. These are in a slim stick form and have a wide enough range with all the key shades you might want, the ones I own already are: a sheer medium pink ("Coral"), a lovely coral ("Amber"), peachy nude (Pnk Opal), shimmering caramel nude ("Sugared Pearl"), a complex shimmering pink-coral ("Pink Oyster Pearl") and a lovely shimmering plum ("Purple Orchid"). The other two shades are: Red Garnet and Rose Quartz. They are all quite sheer and glossy enough, very comfortable on the lips. I love them.
