In general, love LM lip glaces but this one is not for me. "Barely" is exactly the right word for this color. It barely does anything.

I have very highly pigmented lips and was looking for something to throw on as an every day lip gloss either on its own or over lipstick. After a few tries I figured why bother? All it does is add shine and I couldn't care less about that. I want a bit of pigment.

Beautiful nude gloss, perfect for day make up and for the office, but also for night when applied with smoky eyes.

It is not sticky, blends very well and has a decent staying power. It is not glittery and imparts a lovely shine on the lips (not tacky). The only downside for me is the smell: terrible! The smell does not disappear with time and it is really odd (sort of sugar/very sweet candy).

****EDIT really cannot stand the smell. Such a shame as the colour and consistency are excellent.

I thought that the smell meant the lipgloss had gone "off". I'm glad that I read the reviews here before I threw it away. I found it to be moderately thick and a little sticky but moisturizing. I don't need to reapply too often. The colour is ok. Sheer, glossy with almost non existant shimmer.

I love LM glosses. This is one of my favorite colors. It goes on smooth, hydrates my lips and tastes soo good.

This is a lovely nude that really works with my pink PPP skin without turning orange (like a lot of nude lip colors do). It has a very creamy texture with a slight perfume-y smell. I have slightly pigmented lips and this covers them and evens them out into a beautiful neutral nude. Not super brown either, so I will definitely re-buy when I run out.

I am always searching for the perfect nude lipstick/lip gloss. This lipgloss is great! Nice texture- not too thick, sticky, or gloppy. The color is a nice neutral beige shade on my not-very-pigmented lips. Great find!

I could not pull it off.
For reference, I would look very good if I apply makeup like Stacy London from What not to wear.
I have very black hair, NC25, and this gloss makes my complexion not very attractive. I need some color like pink or red. I would go amber rose or rose from LM.

I received this in my GWP and was a bit skeptical. In the tube, it looks pretty brown and boring. When I put it on, it became soft and pretty, MLBB. I've put it on over several different shades of lipstick, and it has looked great. On bare lips, it leaves a light shine. I'd buy a tube when my sample runs out.

A great nude lip gloss. I was surprised that it looked fine on me despite the cool undertone. Smells a little weird but overall very very pretty!

I have the worst time with nude glosses of any kind. My lips are pretty pigmented, so beige glosses stay this nasty yellow-white color on me. So when I received this gloss with a GWP, I didn't have the highest of hopes. However, after applying, I realized that this gloss has mauve undertones, unlike a lot of beige glosses. The mauve undertones make this the hottest nude gloss that I have found! I've spent years searching for the perfect MLBB nude, and I believe that I have finally found it! I have a feeling that I will be purchasing a full-size soon, because my gwp size tube is not going to last long!

Its a great nude lipcolor for me when used with MAC Spice liner. I'm a fair skin African-American. The smell sucks. I would buy again but, its definately overpriced.

My favorite, absolute favorite gloss. I actually get compliments on it. I wear it every day and nights as well. Really really pretty and my first Laura Mercier gloss ever. It was used on me by a make-up artist as well and I ran out and bought it at Sephora. Big fan.

im allergic to it. the makeup artist put it on my lips and it looked great (a bit too shiny for me, tho). HOWEVER...the next morning, the corners of my lips started peeling and were all puffy and red. oh dear lord...

i guess it'd be good if u din't have a reaction to it.

Perfect texture, slightly stinky (overlooked), taupey-beige. Very beautiful unique, and suprisingly flattering color, considering i do not look good in a lot of cool-tones on my lips! For reference i'm an asian, nc30, yellow/olive girl :)!

Beautiful sheer neutral nude color. Doesn't completely cover my pigmented lips, and it's a great, everyday nude. Very glossy and "wet look." Plasticky smell, but that doesn't really bother me, and lasts very well without being sticky.

I'll repurchase.

I got this in a set and didn't touch it for months because the color scared me. I finally tried it and I love it! It is such a nice nude sheer, absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out.

simple, pretty sheer nude gloss in a simple, pretty package. i love that it's the perfect neutral gloss, and it lasts for a long time, especially since it's not the least bit sticky. wish it didn't smell like plastic, but i can get over that. looking forward to trying more shades.

I love this stuff!!! I love the color...it's nice and subtle for those that don't like a lot of color. I will definitely be buying this again.

Gives you those sexy JLo lips! I put this on, and it lasted for hours, even staying on after lunch. For MAC addicts, I suggest this rather than MAC C-Thru. This is much warmer beige and looks much less ashy on warmer skin tones. Just a suggestion! : )
