This is a great buy if you like lip glosses, but i would'nt recommend it if you don't like that glossy, sticky look. It has a great mint smell and leaves your lips feeling fresh and moisturized.

Price
Got it dirt cheap as it was on sale, picked up a few of them as I was drawn in by the cute, colourful tubes. I think the Spearmint Mentha Lip Shine is definitely my favourite.

Packaging
Like I said, cute but I don't actually use the applying part of it, I used my finger for the right consistency and spread.

Smell/Taste
Love the smell and the taste. A lot of people wondering how you would TASTE the product, and you do when you unwittingly lick your lips and so on. It's very fresh and cool. Not necessarily a breath freshener, but smells great nonetheless.

Longevity
It lasts on your lips but not long enough (in my opinion) and this is the reason why I rated the product a 4 and not a 5. Need to reapply if you want to wear it all day. Good thing the tubes are pocket-sized!

Appearance
Definite shine upon use. I use my fingers to dab a little bit over lipstick/lipgloss/lipstain/lip-pencil for that extra shine factor. Works well on all, but like I said, it doesn't last too long.

Lip condition
Definitely softens, but don't forget the best thing to do for lip conditioning is to use a Lip Srub, like the Lush Lip Scrubs! = ]

Hope this helps girls x

In love with these babies. I have around five of them, and they are all compleately amazing. This one has a very nice, minty taste and a glossy sheen. I love how it's not overpoweringly scented, but it's just the right amount to where someone sitting next to you can smell just a hint of it, which is really nice. The best thing about this gloss is that it doesn't drip down my lips like a cover girl clear gloss I've tried. Also, this one can be layered for a really shiny look or dotted on for a natrual looking sheen. I love these. Would I repurchase? Already did.

Oh my god, these are AMAZING. I usually hate lip gloss, but my lips were sunburned and this was the only thing my sister had. At first, I hated the stickiness... but that was before I realized that a) this smells and tastes incredible, and b) it's SUPER MOISTURIZING. In the span of an hour my lips stopped being dry, painful and cracked. It also looks really pretty and glossy! I don't think it really has breath freshening properties (unless you eat it?!) but they make up for it by using natural ingredients like spearmint, peppermint, canola, eucalyptus, menthe arvensis, and basil oils. The packaging is just a normal lip gloss tube, but the color and design are really cute!
This is, hands down, one of the BEST lip treatments I've ever tried (and I've tried a LOT).

Great clear gloss! It tastes great, nice and minty. Smells great, adds gloss, glimmer, and shine! It's petrolatum based. Doesn't last a really long time, but it's a lip gloss so what can I expect? Love to reapply it anyway.

New favorite lip glos EVER!! A delicious minty sensation in a tube is what this is! It reminds me of exactly the smell of that Trident Spearmint gum!! It does not dry my lips out and it's not too sticky. <3 Spearmint Mentha Lip Shine!! continued >>

I like how that this gives a tingly cool sensation on your lips. when you breathe in your mouth gets a cool sensation but i don't think it hovers bad breathe at all. It gives a nice shine without stickiness. I'm not a fan of lip glosses because i don't like the shine on my lips. I like lip glosses because they are very moisturizing for the lips. I apply before bed and when i wake up the lips are nice and smooth.

It's just all right. I'm not a big fan of this flavour even though I usually love spearmint flavoured things.

A different variety of my favorite Mentha Lip Shine...I love spearmint; it's my favorite mint, and I can get it in a gloss. I opened up this tube recently because I finished off my black cherry soda tubes. Between these and the Buxom glosses, I'm pretty set.
