I received this gloss in shad Pink me up as GWP. I do not use gloss that often, I usually prefer to just put a simple lip balm on because my lips are quite dry and I have to speak a lot to people at work. This gloss is very moisturizing, I find it even more moisturizing than the Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss. Also the packaging with the small brush is better in my opinion. Currently I use it every day, the colour stays long on the lips and looks the same even after 2-3 hours or after a small snack. I am not sure yet though if I will buy it when I ran out of it as it is quite expensive.

I have this product in goodness grapecious and I absolutely love it - the color lasts a long time, gives a nice shine to my lips, and makes them feel more hydrated than my chapstick. I also love that there is no weird scent or taste to it. I want to buy more of these in different shades!

I really like this product. Much better than lipstick as you do not get that hard line & its nice & sheer.
I have several of these in different shades. It is the only lip gloss I use. I can highly recommend it. Always having it in my make up bag it never never gets messy. Have a go & you also maybe hooked like me.

I bought the gift pack from an online promotion: $28.00 for 4 smoothies plus a DDML sample and an eye moisturizer. So it was $7.00 for each smoothie and that's a good price. I would not pay full price but would take advantage of such a promotion again.
I love most of all how soft my lips feel since I've been using these glosses. And the colors are all beautiful on me. That's a surprise, because I expected only the Mango-thon and Pink Me Up to work with my coloring, but the Berry Boost is quite lovely. Goodness Grapecious, a raisin color, also works, but is dark. I apply it sparingly and then smoosh my lips around, and it doesn't look as goth as it might. They all lighten up anyway after a while, leaving a natural stain. Eventually, you have to reapply, but if it's healthy for your lips, that's OK.

I have this in the shade 'Peach Power' which is actually quite reddish on me - a semi-sheer red. I tend to prefer peachy pink, coral shades, but the colour looks reasonably OK. MLBB, I suppose.
I get good coverage with this, which I like, as I'm not one for too transparent glosses. Nevertheless, it doesn't have the heaviness or creaminess of lipstick or of some 'liquid lipsticks' I've tried. So, it's a nice balance between decent pigmentation and coverage with a lighter lipgloss feel.
The texture is slightly sticky, but we're certainly not talking MAC lipglass glueyness! I actually find it a bit more watery and less sticky than my usual click pen gloss go-to (Stila Lip Glaze.) In that sense, it's probably slightly more comfortable on my lips. It lasts quite well (though not as long on me as the Stila version), is moisturising, and doesn't bleed (a problem I sometimes get with Stila).
What I dislike though is that the packaging is opaque unlike most click pen glosses (Mally Beauty, Stila, the disco'ed NYC) - so you can't see how much product remains. I think this must be intentional because you are only getting about 1.5 ml of product for approx £14 GBP! When you think that an average Estee gloss, for example, gives you 6ml for about £15/16 in the UK, the Clinique price seems extortionate. So, no wonder they don't give you a transparent tube!
Also, as is the nature of the beast when it comes to click pen applicators, a lot of product is wasted every time in the click-click-click-nothing?!-click-click-click-splodge rigmarole!
Bottom line - I wouldn't repurchase. I prefer the Stila version because you get 2.4ml product for £15 GBP (still expensive, but not quite as painful), and the colour range is more extensive.

I got this as a promotional gift set - 4 x 1.0ml(frm the usual 1.5ml) with makeup pouch. It was quite a deal so I go on to buy it. I'm not really a lipgloss kinda person but these r very comfortable to wear and not so sticky nor too glossy. They last moderately long ard 3-4 hrs. Plus they're soooo mostuirising n the vitamin c really makes my lips feel softer n healthier. I have it in mango-thon(LOVE it!), berry boost, goodness grapecious and pink me up. All shades look natural and wearable for anyone! I like using mango-thon on top of my long last lipstick in paprika - the end result is amazing on my so-called pigmented lips. Took 1 lippie off coz of e price( for normal/non-promotional ) and the clicker which is inconsistent n sometimes make the user dispense too much gloss sometimes. Otherwise all other things abt this lipgloss/smoothie/conditioner is amazing! Will def repurchase.

I got this (in strawberry bliss) in a GWP. The color is nice but the consistency is kind of goopy/sticky (though a just-right amount of gloss/shine) and the clicky packaging is a good concept gone wrong. A previous reviewer said it, as well: You click and click until something starts happening (i.e., the gloss starts coming out) and then - inevitably - too much comes out and you end up wiping it off the brush. Clinique has better glosses (as do other companies) - I wouldn't buy this product (though I'll probably keep using this freebie until it runs out).

I have this in Goodness Grapecious and Strawberry Bliss (my MLBB shade) and I adore both. It's very moisturizing and lasts quite a long time (even through my constant snacking). It's a little sticky, but far less so than the typical Clinique gloss and I might be one of the few people that actually like the clicky-pen! Found my new staple lip color!

I have this in Rhubarbie. Basically MLBB, easy to apply, and quite long lasting. It's a little bit sticky, but not annoying at all.
It has vitamin C and antioxidants and doesn't dry my lips.
Overall, I love this little click-pen. Will definately buy again!

i head out to the beauty supplies store. I live in hk, and there's a store called 'sasa' which sells loads of cheap samples. so i got one about 3 us dollars. My one is in pink me up. I'm in love with this product!!! Though it's quite sticky, the color doesn't fade out after couple hours. not even after i have a meal. it's soooooooo glossy and the color is quite deep. I'm in love with it. If you don't mind the product a bit sticky, it'll be something perfect foryou :D

Generally, Lovely color and great texture like other gloss from Clinique. But I REALLY hate the applicator. I feel like I am always trying to squeeze something out of this little tube after twisting it for a hundred times and finally when I get the lip gloss, it is always too much. Such a waste, for the money and lip gloss. If Clinique can make this like other glosses, I would definately buy this again but not this poor pencil which I have no idea how many twist can it survive before I finish it.

I have this in a few colors, and I'm really happy that they came out with Strawberry Bliss -- it's MLBB for cool complexions like mine!

There are a few cons to this product, but overall, I really love it. I have it in Mango-thon. The color looks gorgeous with my skintone! The pigment to shine ratio is perfect. Application is made simple with a built-in brush and clicking mechanism at the opposite end to distribute the product through holes beneath the brush's bristles. The staying power could be better. If it were cheaper as well, I would have rated it higher. I'm hoping to find a nice dupe for this somewhere...

I bought this while I was looking for something in between a lipstick and a lipgloss: I'm a gloss girl but I'd like to start wearing something more pigmented; I don't feel like I look good in lipsticks (I probably haven't found the right one yet). I thought this would be a good product to start from as they aren't as shiny as regular glosses and they are pretty pigmented. The texture is quite smooth and soft, but it doesn't last more than an hour and a half; the color I got, Berry Boost, is very pretty on my fair skin.The packaging is ok, though you definitely need a mirror while applying. It's really expensive though for what it is, so I don't think I will repurchase.

I guess I'm among the minority that like this lip gloss/pen. I got this in Nude Tritious at the Mills, where they have an Estee Lauder outlet that sells their products about 2/3 retail price. It came to $12.50, which is not too bad; but yes, more expensive than drug store brand lipgloss, but you would expect that from a department store brand. Anyway, this is easy to apply. You can make more precise application with this brush tip than the normal lipgloss foam applicator. The color lasts and stays shinny for a longer period of time than other lipgloss. I especially love the fact that this doesn't have any scent or taste to it. Would try a different color next time only because I think this is slightly too brown for me. I like to have a hint of red or pinkish in my lipgloss. Other than the shade, I like this gloss a lot.

I wanted to love this product. Pros: Nice colour, really has a moisturizing effect on lips and it lasts. "Lasts" as in "no need to reapply or put on lip balm" for, like, five or six hours. That's not to say the colour is still there because it isn't. I got this in "Pink me up" and while I love the colour on the applicator it hardly shows up on my lips. I really have to lather it on to make it show. Other cons: It's too expensive for only 1.5 ml!! Only 1.5!! This is ridiculous. Nope, this lip smoothie and I won't be friends. I used to have a similar pen from Nivea years ago, which was see-through, contained LOTS of product and had a lovely, subtle colour. I would have prefered this over the Clinique pen. I'm really disappointed. Won't buy again.

I LOVE this product! I bought it in Rhubarbie. I love the colour, I love how well it lasts, it is really soothing on my very dry lips, it lasts really well considering it is not a lipstick. It is not sticky or plasticy. My only concern is I cannot see how much product is left in the tube which could be an issue as I keep applying the product - it feels so nice!
