I just bought a pot gloss in Crazy--it's a bright, magenta pink in the pot, but with a light touch, makes my lips look pink and healthy. Absolutely love it. Great staying power--even after it wears off it leaves a pretty stain. With a heavier hand, the color is more Debbie Gibson Electric Youth, but that's not what I'm after, so I'll stick with the barely applied approach. I love the packaging--pot glosses are so convenient in my opinion. No detectable smell and the texture is perfect, plus it actually moisturizes. I'm definitely going to buy a few more. Highly recommend.

Update: I've purchased two more pots of this and have to say it's still my favorite. I get compliments on it all the time. I rarely repurchase lip colors, but this has become my signature healthy lip color.

Update, part 2: I've purchased two more pots of gloss in different colors. These are HG glosses.

got this in wicked, which is a cherry-red super-glossy lip laquer. i don't know why the reviews are so bad. the color is amazing, there is so much pigment! i wish it didn't come in that messy pot though.

quite a bad lasting power on me. Nice and moisturizing. Nothing spectacular. Smell is really mild. It is ok but I will not repurchase.

I got this lip gloss in the colour "Positive". Its a pretty light pink colour with the tinyest shimmer.It gives a young and fresh impression. I like the quality of these pot glosses, its non sticky formula and yet reasonably good staying power. This colour looks nice with smokey eyes.

I have this in Perfect and I think it's awesome for that "Brigitte Bardot" look of nude lips and dramatic eyes. Especially great with bright green/navy eyeshadow for a 70s makeup feel, something between Farrah in Charlie's Angels and Studio 54 if you know what I mean. The smell and taste are far from great but I find it bearable after 20 seconds. The packaging, although cute and easy to carry, could also be better. As for texture it adheres perfectly to the lips. As for color, it really enhances my not too pigmented lips (I'm a MAC NW20 / Armani #4) and looks great with my yellow undertones. Can't believe I've had it sitting around in a drawer for months!

This is probably the best pot lipgloss youll ever find. I have it in a bronzey red shade and I just love it although Id die of happiness to get it in a baby pink color. Is VERY well pigmented and not sheer at all... lasts the longest out of all glosses... and its fun to dip a lipbrush in and paint up your pout. Worth the money- I swear by it... I want more!!! Unfortunately theyre very hard to come across in the States. You have to live in LA or NY or order online only... :( But worth it once you get a hold of it!

I have to agree with most posts here that the taste and smell of the product is terrible but the pure shine and lasting power is well worth it to me. I've had a tough time with other lip glosses because of over-drying or not-enough-shine but these little pots have va-va-voom.

I have this in Alert. It's a transparent colour with a hint of red and the slightest of shimmer that looks very natural on the lips. Lips look dewy fresh. The formula is smooth and glossy, not sticky. I somtimes use this like a lip balm. There are many other pretty colours in this pot gloss range. I want to buy more of these. Especially those with more colour.

I buy these for the colors and the staying power, which I love. However, the taste leaves much to be desired, especially for the price. I have the colors I like, and will probably buy no more of these.

This brand is from Sweden like myself, so I´ve had acess to these products for many, many years, long before they became available to the U.S. market. Face Stockholm is in the same price and quality range as MAC. They have great make up tools and great make up. I love these cute pot glosses! The consistency of them are different depending on the shades. The ones with glitter don´t go on as smooth as the ones without, for instance. I love the color called "Fanatic" which is a slightly pink, yet sheer see-through color with some glitter. It gives me the best pout EVER, and I swear by it! This is a glossy gloss, well worth every penny.

I have this gloss in a deep, true red called Wicked. This is a great gloss because you can layer for either sheer or intense color, the more you apply, the glossier it appears. This color is really bold, what I like about it is that unlike many red glosses, it doesn't look pinky if you apply only a little. What really impressed my was the staying power of the color-- the glossiness diminishes over time, but the color stains your lips and remains, unlike most glosses which come off quickly. Looking forward to trying other colors.

These are DISGUSTING. Reminds me of no-name, kiddie makeup that would be on sale at Big Lots or Wal-Mart. It was just cheap and gross. I got mine in tender. It had *the* nastiest taste and smell. I threw mine away. And I NEVER throw away lip gloss.

If someone had scraped the label off of these glosses and handed them to me, I would probably have guessed that they were a low-end drugstore brand or part of a kiddie makeup kit. The smell is cheap, melted plastic, the glosses are drying and the texture is sort of midway between Vaseline and Elmer's glue. The colors are nice enough in the pot - but so sheer on that there hardly seems to be any point in wearing them. Very disappointing. I have given FACE a fair chance based off the many positive reviews here, but I just can't like their products.

Face Stockholm is one of those cosmetic companies that I have had to discover through the internet on my own. I don't hear much about them through the beauty boards or through magazines. It is surprising to me because I don't think I have disliked anything I have ordered from them. Their pot lipgloss is fantastic. I have it in three different colors out of a huge range of choices. It is the just right consistancy for long staying power without over powering color. It is sheer but sticky and so far every color has turned into a new favorite.

i have this in "trendy" -- a purplely color. in the store, i was IN LOVE with these. they were superduperglossy without being tacky and had no smell. the pots were totally cute. they were jsut SO GLOSSY and light WITHOUT being incredibly sheer (like cargo's glosses). but i thought to myself, "becasue i hadn't yet had the chance to look it up on MUA, let me just buy one." i'm so glad i did cuz it just wasn't as shiny in the real world! :( i think all the bright lights in the store tricked me!!! so yes, i like the gloss, but it's not worth the $14...drugstore brands are just as shiny. great customer service, though! UPDATE: i was applying this with a lipbrush when i got home. one day i switched to finger applciation and i got SUPERDUPER gloss! i tried wand applcation (from a wand gloss) on it and got the same effect: SUPERGLOSSY! wow...something to think about.

WOW! I got this in "brilliance" from a sweet girl in Sweden- Tried it on- Such a BEAUTIFUL shade of a cherry red that flashes gold. I've never worn a prettier, more pigmented gloss before. Im SO in love with it!! I feel like I dont want to wear it cause I want to save and cherish every drop of it. lol... The ONLY thing I can complain about it... IS the taste! Are they intentionally trying to make it taste like chemicals? But its soooo worth it!

I just received Rapture in a swap and I really like this lipgloss! Totally neutral looking on me. The texture is nice and it looks pretty on.

One of my favorite gloss shades of all time is Voluptuous from Face Stockholm. However, it comes in a pot and over time it develops that plastic smell that i can't tolerate. that's my only rant.

I have mixed feelings about this gloss. Gorgeous colors, and great feeling, but the taste!! I'm not a big fan of that, but luckily it goes away fast.

I own this in "Trusting", a deep red/brown with gold shimmer. This is an absolutely gorgeous gloss. So highly pigmented, so amazingly lucious, I look sexiest wearing this gloss. Like lips freshly bitten, deeply red with lush color. FACE Stockholm colors are uniformly gorgeous---I'll be buying more.
