The colour of this is gorgeous, a very highly sparkly gloss but without awkward big glitter bits. Glides on well, I didn't like the applicator on first glance but it applies the gloss pretty well. Wouldn't buy this again - want to try some of the other shades!

The one on this picture is the one that I've got, and the most beautiful one!<3
It goes on smoothly on your lips, like if it was kissing you (haha) and I looove the dazzling effect! This is simply a great sexy lipgloss!

This lipgloss is amazing. I love its colour and how glittery/sparkly it is. I tried it on at the L'Oreal counter yesterday and fell in love... so I bought it. The staying power is also good, but I noticed that the colour fades quite quickly (at least for me)... therefore I must give it a 4. I will definitely purchase this product again. I feel dead sexy wearing it. ;)

Along with Revlon's "Glossy Rose", this is my HG of lippies. I have a LOT of lipstics (110) but THIS is the one I pull out when I have a date, or party, or other big 'Do" that demands a sparkly, special occasion mouth. Just gorgeous and it suits everyone I know. My mother and sisters steal it often. I'm always going round to the make-up drawers in the house to repossess it. :)

I do love this gloss in the mercury crystal shade which matches my skin tone perfectly. It shines on your lips like a jewel and it stays for long without being as glue.
special mention for the heart shaped applicator, very cool!

This review is for Glam Shine Mercury Sparkle. I heart this lip gloss, really I do. It's so pretty. It's, as previous reviewers have stated a rose/berry pink with silver sparkles. As a DDD/NC45-50/BB Golden, this should have looked all wrong, but it was lovely. So shiny and sparkly and just too, too pretty! And it makes your lips appear that much fuller. The sparkly bits ARE gritty, natch. But that's a small and inevitable price to pay when it comes to sparkle-infused glosses.

Edit:I've changed my mind, the sparkles are just too gritty.So minus one lippie but I still like it.

In the sample tube and on my hand it looks like a berrycolor with lots of shimmerparticles, so I bought one. On me it's slightly more brownish and warm in colour, and my tube is not exactly the same color as in the sample. A bit disappointed because I wanted a plummy or berry color that I didn't get. But I get complimented for my lips anyway, and my usually flat lips look more full, pouty and shiny than with other glosses or brands. So I'm satisfied, and this color I certainly would repurchase if I run empty.

What is it?

Lipgloss in a glimmery mauve color. Packaged in the signature flared Glam Shine tube with a wide doe-foot applicator.



How does it work for me?

Very well!!


On its own just a glimmery MLBB color on my lips. Layered over MAC Half-Red lip pencil I've lost track on just how many compliments I've received on my lipcolor.


Stays on very well and feels light and moist on the lips. Does not feel goopy after repeated applications. The doe-foot applicator is big and fluffy, distributes color evenly over lips and removes just the right amount of color from the tube for one application.



Overall verdict:
Like the color and how versatile it is. Would repurchase if I ran out.

Mercury crystal is very hard to describe. In the wand it looks like a cool toned berry color with silver shimmer. On my lips however, it's more of a neutral, redish/bronzey/berry color with silver shimmer. The color is not as loud as it may seem in the wand, and if you apply it sparingly it works for every day use. A thicker layer and your friends are gonna need shades because of the serious shimmer/glitter effect! :) Love it!

This is a mighty fine shimmer lipgloss, It is glossy and glittery without being gritty, and never leaves my lips feeing dry. The colour is lovely, a light berry with hints of gold, peach and violet. this hade sounds strange but just try it and you will see what I mean and be pleasantly surprised I promise! The gloss comes in a handy dip tube container and adds a noticable but not too loud colour and shine. For the price it beats the arse off of other more expensive glosses. You cant go wrong, will definitely repurchase and investigate the other shades!

I love this lipgloss! Not tacky or gritty at all, and the most delightful red-ish YLBB shade. Normally red lipsticks don;t look right on me ( I'm most definitly a PPP! ) but this is perfect, without being over the top for daytime wear ( and great for nighttime! ). This is the only lip product I have ever worn that so many people have asked about ( Now, I'm almost used to hearing"What's your lipgloss, it looks amazing!" ). The shimmer and shine are fantastic, this is really a high end product for a realistic price! :D

A wonderful MUAer CP'd a glam shine for me. I have Mercury Crystal, which is a berry shade that's a very YLBB shade on me. There is no grittiness from the gloss and it is not drying at all either. I hear that they are releasing these in the U.S. Can't wait to try out more of the shades!
