I received this in a LORAC kit, and I'm not really a lip-gloss person in the first place, but I did sort of like this one. The color is pretty, it's like a baby pink with an almost peachy sort of undertone that is probably really flattering on a variety of skin tones.

I know this is a "Couture Shine" gloss, but the amount of shine it has is a little ridiculous. It's blinding! When I wear this, I have to blot it or else it just looks so unnatural & it is on the sticky side. It's a shame, because the color underneath all the shine is gorgeous. If it were a bit lighter with a less blinding shine, I would rebuy.

I think this color is very flattering. It looks so pretty over a pink lipstick. It's super shiny and doesn't fill in any lines. Only down side is that it's pretty sticky. However, I will be repurchasing in different colors :) I also love the applicator!

I just love this gloss...I think it's the absolute perfect baby pink shade for pretty much any skin tone, but particularly for those with cooler undertones. It's very shiny and as far as a gloss goes, I think it wears pretty well because it's on the thicker side (but it's not too sticky). The shade of pink is cool and a little on the milky side, but it doesn't settle into my lip lines like some baby pink shades do. It also gives enough color to liven up my face and not make me look washed out. The scent is subtle and vanilla-y and not noticeable once it's on my lips, which I like. I think this gloss is a little on the pricey side at $22, but there is a decent amount of product and it lasts for a long time. Highly recommend!

I love this product! The color is awesome and it's my new fave lip gloss! Only problem is that it doesn't last me as long as I would want to. Other than that, it's amazing!

This color is great on my skin (Giorgio Armani foundation #7). I find it gets mucky around the opening of the tube but other than that, this is my favorite, go-to gloss. Love the scent and the applicator too.

I really like this lip gloss. Its a similar color Turkish Delight but much thicker and a little sticky. Not as sticky as Mac lip glass though! I like it over a light pink lipstick but not on its own. The packaging is nice and a lot comes in the tube. It has a nice small brush on it and its easy to apply. Very pretty pink!

If you are looking for a high shine gloss/lipstick in one, then this is it. If you do not like sticky or thick glosses, then this will probably not be a good choice for you.
This is a liquid lipstick. It smells like vanilla candy and is a beauty mauve shade with a super high shine. I love wearing this out at night as it catches the light.
It has a bristle brush applicator with very short bristles. You will get a closer clean line application. Again, it is very thick because it is a liquid lipstick. It has great staying power. Love it.

I was lemming this shade for months so I swapped for it.

I love this gloss! It smells so sweet and pretty, almost like a M.A.C lipglass sort of scent. It's less tacky and sticky than a lipglass, that's for sure.

This is a milky baby pink with definite cool undertones. At first I really liked it, but after trying other light pinks that work better with my skin, I realized this was not neutral/warm enough for me.

The staying power is average, but that's to be expected with any liquid lipstick/gloss.

I am so ambivalent about this gloss. I had received this as a gift along with some other Lorac glosses and this was the shade I was the most nervous about trying.


In the tube, it looks like a very femme light pink -- neither warm nor cool -- just pure and solid pink. It looks almost like a piece of candy. I don't know how to describe it, but I was hesitant to wear it because it didn't look very sophisticated and it didn't look like it would be a sheer gloss so I thought it would just "sit" on my lips.


After I took the plunge, I fell in love! After about a minute, it melts into my lips to create beautiful soft pink that is a match made in heaven for my "5 minute rush out the door" look. My lips have some natural pigment to them so I feel that my natural pigment has something to do with why this shade turns out as well as it does on me. "Haute" would also be the perfect compliment to a dramatic smoky look in the evening time. The soft pink could add a nice feminine contrast to steel-y and smoky colors. The lasting power is only average for this one and I actually find the fact that "Haute" doesn't "stain" my lips at least a little to be a bit disappointing.


The drawback? All of the Lorac glosses (and this one is no exception) STING my lips. They are downright uncomfortable to wear for the first 20 minutes or so and the only reason why I'm putting up with it now is because I love the color too much. In short, love the color, despise the formula. I will carry this in my purse at all times...so that I can find its dupe and buy it!

In love with this! Wanted a light pink that was versatile by changing the liner. Right now wearing with Wicked liner from UD, but have worn with other, brown colors that changed it. I agree it would be nicer with a doe foot, but this brush isn't one that makes a mess...BB...also love the scent. Yummy! Will repurchase if I ever use it up, but may try another color!

It looks cute from the outside,but the color is awful and the consistency is sticky.

OMG I am in love. The formula is amazing, like MAC but not as sticky. The smell is to die for as is the colour. Haute is a baby pink with no shimmer, the absolute perfect and most flattering shade I have found to date for my NW20 skintone. It is supposed to be a liquid lipstick, but its really more of a gloss. It lasts for a good while and feels very satisfying and hydrating while doing its job at the same time.

This is my favourite makeup product EVER. If you are unsatisfied with this product, throw it my way!
