i really like this product! it's very moisturizing and it's vanilla mint, who doesn't like that? it's around 7 or 8 dollars, which is pricey for a lip gloss/balm. i like this, i'm not a fan of shiny lips though, i prefer matte, but i really like this to slap on before i go to sleep or if i don't care about my appearance. i don't like squeezy tube lip glosses so the packaging isn't the best. overall, i love this and i'd recommend it!

Warning: do NOT buy this product!!! I just looked at the ingredients (and also updated the ingredients list on this website) and all of these lip shines contain PETROLEUM, or petrolatum. They may taste good and feel moisturizing initially, but over extended use, they will actually DRY OUT your lips because they contain petroleum in them! I used Blistex's Fruit Smoothies chapstick for 3 years (which contains petroleum as well), and my lips became super-dry!! Just recently, I learned that petroleum causes your lips to dry, which then causes you to apply and use more of the product to maintain moisture. It is also said to have an addictive quality so you put more and more on. I'm returning all of these to bath and body works ASAP!! D:

I love the smell of this lip gloss! It reminds me of Christmas and it lingers as long as you wear it. My lips feel soft and conditioned when I wear this. The mint does not burn my lips as with other lip glosses. I think eight dollars is a little bit expensive for a clear lipgloss, but I would repurchase this product because I really enjoy the smell.

Nice vanilla mint flavor but this is way too expensive at the retailed price ($8). Thank goodness I can use my VS discount at BBW :))

Pros:
- Moisturizes
- Smells nice
- Squeeze tube packaging
- Clear gloss
Cons:
- A bit tacky
- Not good lasting power
- Sort of hard to find
Overall:
I like this lipgloss. I like that it doesnt dry your lips out like some lipglosses do. It also has a nice minty smell which I happen to like. I like that it has a squeeze tube because its more sanitary. The clear gloss is nice because it goes with everything. Some downsides to this product are that it is a bit sticky. Nothing too bad but theres some stick. It doesnt last very long either. I find that when input it on at 6:30 in the morning its gone by first period. Also i have only every seen these lipglosses at Bath & Body Works. I do recommend this lipgloss to people who dont mind having to reapply it every hour.

The Mentha Lip Shine in Vanilla Mint is one of the best clear glosses ever! It's not sticky, has a pleasent smell and taste, and is all around gorgeous. I normaly hate clear glosses, but this one is amazing. I got a five pack from a friend, and I love all of them. Would I repurchase? No, because the full sizes are around eight dollars, and I prefer the one in the red tube, but this one is really nice and perfect for winter.

This is my current favorite lip product. I bought this in the 5-pack of smaller sizes at the holidays, which included the CinnaMint and 3 others as well. This is my favorite so far, and it lasts forever. Other reviewers of this series have mentioned tingling at first and stickiness later, but I have noticed neither. It is true that the glossiness doesn't last too long, however. I still like it a lot though. And I'm strange with this one, I prefer wearing it at night to bed!

I enjoy this product a lot. It does have a good scent that is well balanced with the warmth of vanilla, and the cool of mint. As usual, the lipgloss tastes wonderful. It does go on smooth, however eventually it becomes just the slightest bit tacky, so it may not be the best for people with particularities about sticky lipglosses. Over all, a fantastic product.

I love these lip glosses! I would buy them all the time but they are pretty expensive, I can get a couple Baby Lips for that price :/ they freshen my breath, have a great vanilla flavor, and are super moisturizing. Maybe if I save some extra dollars I can pick up some more, if you can BUY THEM

This tastes sooo good my boyfriend doesn't even mind kissing me. It stays smooth and doesn't turn sticky, and it smells good too. Just enough mint and just enough vanilla. $8 is kind of expensive for 0.5oz of lip gloss so I just get it when it's on sale.

You can't really go wrong with flavored lip glosses I have a collection full of them. When I bought this at bath and body works I couldn't help but to be pleased, it was a nice mellow vanilla scent, it didn't knock you over and its moisturizing, and it has mint extract for fresh breath.

So don't skip out on any of the bath and body works lipglosses yeah, they can be a bit pricey, $7.50 a tube is totally worth it :)

I picked this up from Bed Bath and Body Works a little while ago. I am a huge fan of both vanilla and mint so how could I say no? I love the slight tingle effect and lasting shine it gives. The scent is very natural smelling (good thing too considering it's 100% natural extracts apparently) Would buy again for sure!

Described as the ultimate three-in-one lip moisturizer. It combines high gloss, incredible moisture and long-lasting breath freshness with a creamy and minty, cooling sensation. It can be worn under or over lip color.
* 100% natural vanilla and mint provide a creamy freshness that tingles on lips. Gives breath long-lasting freshness.
I totally love the mentha range of lip gloss!! Reapplication is so much fun jus cuz of the tingle! :D
