I love these. They are long wearing, moisturizing, and leave a glossy tint on the lips. If I'm going to be out in the sun for a long period of time, I love slapping one of these glosses on as they have an SPF of 15 and last and last. They're a bit sticky, but not uncomfortable. If I don't want to fuss with my lips every 30 mins, I can rely on Glosswear. I love how they actually deposit color. Sheer, juicey lips.

My favorite lipgloss. Glosswear has a luxurious texture and great wearability (thick and smooth). Glosswear just feels smoother than most and very natural on my lips, never tacky or sticky, my lips glide together. The appearance of the gloss is very nice too, and is quite suitable to apply over lipsticks. However, I do find the range a little limited so I turn to Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss for more variations, which runs a close second to Glosswear in my opinion.

If you don't like thick and sticky, these are not for you. I happen to prefer thick, sticky glosses because they last longer and look shinier. And Clinique Glosswear is my favorite gloss EVER. I have Bonfire, a coral-peach, and Cabana Crush, a golden nude-pink. Both have excellent color payoff, truly vinyl-like shine, and they really do keep looking good for 3-4 hours. The SPF is a plus, but I normally use SPF lipbalm under my gloss anyway. This is definitely a gloss that says, "Look at my shiny colorful lips!" And I like that.

Its an a slightly above average lip gloss but nothing too special. I do like it that it has spf in it that offers some sun protection. But I dont think its a great value for the price. It doesn't stay that long Nice colors though I would really give it 3.5 lippies

When I was a lot younger, my mum would always give me the Clinique glosses that came as a GWP when she purchased anything. The colours were shear and appropriate for me at the time, always keep your lip hydrated.
They are a little on the pricey end here in Australia, and I haven't brought anything from Clinique in a long time, but if the prices drop, I probably would return to buy this.

My new favorite gloss!


Sheer colors, nice shimmer, super shine, very moisturizing, longwearing but not sticky like glue, buttery rich texture, & SPF 15. I like sticky, rich glosses, so this is a gloss I enjoy.


Clinique could stand to make some more clear colors without shimmer, but that's okay.


My lips NEVER feel dry when wearing this gloss.
YUM.

MIght as well smear glue on your lips. I find this stuff too tacky. And when some gets on the outside of the applicator and tube, you'll need Brillo to get it off. Soap and water won't cut it.

There have to better glosses out there. This isn't it.

I have a few of these and they do stay on your lips for a very long time, however they are very thick and sticky. I really, really like them because I feel like I don't have to keep apply them over and over. They sit nicely on top of my lipstick and make my lipstick look smooth even if I have dry lips. The pigment in them is sheer.

Grrrhhh. Another annoyingly "sticky" gloss with very little pigment.
Wears off quickly leaving lips dry and covered in mini glitter particles. Very unattractive.

I love the fruity taste and scent of this. The colors are great alone or over lipcolors. They last for an hour or two

Dude, GROSS. That's the only way I can best describe this gloss. Good thing I got it free in a promotional giveaway package. I have Intense Sparkle version in Scintillant (a sheer, very light, nude, sparkly pink), and I've never encountered a stickier gloss. It strings just coming out of the tube, which is a bad sign to begin with, and once on the lips, makes talking very difficult as your lips get fused together every time you say the letters M, B or P. It's so sparkly that it's distracting, and when you try to take this gloss off, the sparkles smear everywhere and won't come off! I have sparkles on my lips for the next day or two, it's ridiculous. The smell may be the worst part, though, reminiscent of sweat or dirty laundry (NOT an exaggeration), and it's so pungent, too. Ew.

I got this as part of the gift, and maybe it's just me but...the gloss that I got had no scent at all...instead it smelt kinda like plastic? It was hard to put it onto my lips as well, the consistency was just really bad and way too thick. When I did put it on my lips it just didn't feel comfortable at all...and the smell didn't help either. It looked overly greasy and oily too. I'm glad I didn't buy it though and got it for free, otherwise it would've been a waste of money.

I used to think this was the bees knees, but over continued use I've noticed some major flaws, I got this in a really shimmering pink colour which looks nice in the tube, but looks ugly on lips, it feels quite uncomfortable on lips too kinda as if its hovering over lips, as well as tremendously sticky, like super glue holding your lips together you can actually feel it peel when you talk, and the smell is just disgusting, I know cliniques line is signature for being fragrance free but seriously, the smell of this is unbearable. all in all a terrible product from (in my opinion) a terrible brand name.

I have two of these at the moment, nude nector and treasure. I really like these colours. treasure is a orangey nude colour with a hint of shimmer. The colours look great on. For a gloss they last quite well too. I like the packaging as well. on the down side they are quite gloopy and they dont smell that great. my hair is alsways getting stuck to my lips! overall i do like these and would probably buy again. though they are a bit expensive but you get a lot of product.

I don't know where people got their "fruity" scents, but mine STINKS! It reaks so bad that I just threw it out after only using it a couple of weeks. I had the "air kiss" and the results weren't that spectacular if I just threw it out without even reaching half way... Of ALL the lip glosses that exist, I would never go back to this one...

I got a sample of this in AirKiss at the Clinique counter and I don't think I'll ever buy it. Thick and sticky, this lipgloss doesn't do much for me, and I had a hard time getting it off the applicator onto my lips -- and for that matter, out of the container and onto the applicator. Didn't notice a bad smell like the other reviewers noted.

I love this gloss, I have it in First blush and Bamboo pink, Bamboo pink is a sheer pearlesent pink and first blush is a neutral sheer shimmery color. I love the formula of these glosses. They are very smooth! and creamy feeling on the lips and they do last a long time. They are also moisturizing and have a good glossiness and shine to them. I also like that you get alot of product for your money with these because they are bigger than a Mac Lip glass

I have a small collection of Glosswear tubes that I received as GWP. For the most part they're smooth, moisturizing and nicely tinted, though nothing exceptional. I have Shy Beige, Black Honey, Mystic, Whisper, Sunshine and Kissyfit, though the only ones that really stand out are Kissyfit and Black Honey. These are nice enough for basic gloss, though I'm not enough of a fan to purchase more.

If this didn't have such an AWFUL stench, it would definetely be a 5/5! The formula is non-sticky, and the colors are gorgeous and pigmented. What a shame it has to smell like undescribable ickiness. :(
