I just recently decided that I would not be JUST a gloss girl & busted out the lipsticks I have been hoarding for a while. Glad I found this GWP as it turns out to be a lovely color on with my complexion! While I do not find it very moisturizing I do love that it is tasteless & has a very smooth application. Great pinky coral for spring time!

It is a nice shade! Coral pink with a little golden shimmer. I assume it looks good on most people - you can wear it alone or match different eye makeup. It looks dark but actually very sheer on lips. You may apply at least 3 layers to get half of the pigment. It moists well but doesn't stay very long (I remove lip color off every time i drink water or eat, so it doesn't bother me much)

Recieved this golden coral pink lipstick during Bonus Time. I have to use it lightly as other wise it looks magenta on my lips with my NC 15 skin. While it is not my favorite lip color ever, I do still use it from time to time when I want to punch up my look a little bit.

Got this as a GWP during a Bonus Time. I like this one much more than other GWP lipsticks I've received, and I use it pretty regularly. Not my favorite color ever and I probably wouldn't buy this shade again, but I'm not throwing it away, either! :-)

This looks pretty in the tube, a sort of peachy, shimmery coral pink but doesn't register much on my lips. It is too sheer, with no staying power. While I like the "taste" (or lack thereof) of Clinique lipsticks, the formulation is poor if you're looking for a lipstick that would make an impact.

I love this lipstick. It's my HG lip product.
Being very fair-complected and partial to natural-looking makeup, I never would have purchased this color, but luckily I received it in a free Clinique gift set and gave it a try. It is the perfect soft rosy color--not solid or bold red, but definitely not sheer either. It has soft gold shimmers in the light and the texture is amazing. It's really glossy and smooth, but at the same time it sticks to your lips in a way I've never experienced with a glossy lip product. Glossy lip stuff usually rubs off super easily because it's more liquid-y, but this has almost more of a waxy feel (or something) that makes it last.
Normally lipsticks are too dry for me, but this one makes my lips so smooth and full. I used to think my lips were too thin for lipstick, but this makes them appear very full. It lasts a long time as long as you don't lick your lips a lot. :)
I will absolutely repurchase this, and I'll check out the other colors of this formula as well.

A rose colored lipstick with a touch of warm brown tones and shimmer. Different lipstick does not dry my lips. It is not terribly long lasting on me but most lipsticks aren't either.

I like this lipstick because it goes on smoothly, leaves my lips feeling moist, and comes off easily. I dislike it because it comes off easily. I'm not sure I'd buy it again, but I had to say yes or no, and I may. I prefer the Chanel Double Intensite lipstick/glosses because the stain in them lasts a long time, even through meals. On the other hand, a simple lipstick like this is much easier to apply. Also, it's cheaper.

Such a pretty color, rose with a little browned coral thrown in. Lasts well, moisturizing, and has a sheen to it without being glittery/having too many sparkles. I can apply this in the morning and it is still in place at noon. Colorwise it's a teeny bit bright for me (I'm pretty much the nude/dark queen), so I add a little brownish gloss on top.

wow, i love this. I got this as a bonus when I purpose something for over 21.50. This goes on very smooth and it's very moisturizing. The color isn't too much. it's quite sheer with a little shimmery pink. I thought it'd be too dark but no, it's perfect.

i reaaaly love this, love love love! it is a gorgeous pink with a fair amount of shimmer, but not frosty which is good. brightens you up and still looks very natural, on me it looks like i have a slightly shimery clear gloss on, so it matches my natural colour very closely but it is still better than no lipstick at all. i would definatly buy this again.

I got this l/s in a Clinique GWP & am so glad I did! It is a great color for a slight color. I am PPP blonde/blue. I put a clear gloss on over it. It goes on creamy & doesn't dry out lips. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

UPDATE (2012-02-17): BOYCOTTING RE. CURRENT ANIMAL TESTING FOR CHINESE MARKET
Like the other Differents, this is sheer, smooth, and moisturising; one step more solid than the Butter Shines, like them, the Differents try to be a hybrid of lipstick, gloss, and balm. Without being dry, sticky, or having absolutely zero lasting power. And in a fairly wide selection of human-compatible shades. No flavour or scent, and the other Clinique usual business: well-tested on humans for sensitivity issues, no animal testing.
Rose Taffy (#A2) provides more "just-bitten" enhancement than my long-term favourite Different, Tenderheart. Definitely a rose: light, warm without looking at all peachy, let alone orange or coral. With a touch of rosewood - yes, there is a little brown. Lifted to the middle of the pink road by just enough suggestions of blue and mauve-lilac undertones in the pink; and indeed by a very true rose-petal pink. A minuscule quantity of slightest shine and glimmer, through some tiny subtle sparkly bits, mainly gold and red but also some silver and blue, if you peer at it very closely.
One word of warning: Clinique lipstick shades vary enormously from batch to batch, and a shop may have more than one lot for sale at any given time. Worth trying out in situ and ensuring the tester matches the lipstick you purchase, by comparing the two side by side.*
Not my favourite lipstick - that's the Almost in Black Honey - but one of my favourites of the Differents. Very slightly too pink on me to look entirely natural, but good in most lights, and never jarringly unnatural or unflattering. Update: Sweet Honey (96) is much better on me.
Costs EUR 19.00 (*sigh*), USD 14.00, GBP 12.00.

* If you live in an areas and jurisdiction where you can return cosmetics well and good, and I envy you. I've got in the habit of not cleaning off my test-driving stripes on back of hand until the transaction is complete and I've done my "endearingly excited" act of taking my new tube out and comparing that to the tester, just in case. Where I am, you can't return cosmetics once bought (except for major and provable reactions), so I always do this in the shop in front of witnesses. In the nicest possible way, and being super-pleasant to all concerned. Why be unpleasant - it's a bit embarrassing for the poor SA if the colours don't indeed match, and it's not their fault. Better to be light-hearted about it and maybe even make friends with your local Clinique SA/MUA ...
