This is a beautiful gloss that looks dark red and frighteningly sparkly in the tube, but looks really subtle on, like a natural lip color. Not too sticky or shiny at all and I love that there is no wand or brush that could get all goopy.

I love this gloss! It is a beautiful, very sheer neutral shade of red. It provides a hint of color on its own and can also be layered on top of lipsticks or lip stains to provide great shine. I find it to be very moisturizing like a lip balm, but with amazing shine. Unlike most glosses, it is not sticky and has not taste. It is truly perfect. Like all GA products, it is pretty expensive. However, one tube lasts for a long time and I do not mind paying the price because the quality is so high. Wonderful! Highly recommend!

juts bought it and i love it!!
Leaves a very subtle red shimmer and not too sticky. Very thick and appears to be long lasting.
Perfect over lipstick and on its own.

This is a stunning lip gloss. A slightly shimmery cranberry red in the tube, it applies as a deliciously flushed YLBB colour. Not at all sticky, long-lasting, unscented (as far as I could tell) and just a fabulous, fabulous gloss. Doesn't dry your lips out or leave 'extreme lip dandruff' as it wears off - your lips just feel lovely and moisturised. Foolproof. <3

This is top quality. It is sheer, not sticky, and the texture is lovely. It's a sheer strawberry red with metallic red shimmer. It gives me the MLBB look. Would repurchase for sure.

A very natural and subtle red. Good for people who want a red without looking to severe. Nice high gloss.

Pretty neutral red color with light shimmer and some good staying power, hard to find in a gloss! This reminds me of Clinique's black honey l/s, only sheerer, with shimmer, and better staying power. Great neutral.

I bought shine lipgloss #3 and #5 when GA just launched their counter in Malaysia. I've given up the #3 but love this #5. #5 is a sheer shimmery berry red. It gives a glassy high shine to the lips. It appears as very sheer red on my slightly pigmented lips. I love to wear it alone to give me lips a little more color and make it more attractive. It looks great over any lipcolor too. The texture is a little bit sticky but I like the fact that it is unscented.

Another keeper from GA. This is a sheer red tint gloss with micro-shimmer that doesn't look garish. Love the packaging - very functional.

These are amazing quality, right up there with Chanel, IMO. they are sheer, non-sticky, and have a smooth gel texture. They glaze my lips with sheer color and moderate shine. #5 is one of the prettiest and most flattering colors I've come across in awhile. It's a sheer strawberry red with metallic red shimmer. It gives me just-bitten, natural lips. For reference, I'm a LLL, and have light colored lips.

I don't wear red lipstick, but I absolutely love this shine lipgloss. It imparts just enough of a red hue to really brighten my face. It is also so beautifully shimmery, and has real lasting power for a gloss.

This is a beautiful complex red shade with an orange/tomato tinge and metallic red micro-shimmer (non-gritty). Like all Armani lip products it is taste- and scent-free, a big plus in my book! These lipglosses are not too pigmented, but you can intensify them by layering or applying them on top of liner or lipstick. That way you can vary from a subtle gloss look to stunning red 3D lips. The shine glosses are non-sticky and I think not much different from the formulation of their lip shimmers. The packaging of these glosses is different though: you get a clear plastic squeeze tube with a black cap, very much like Lancome Juicy tubes. The Armani price-tag is expectedly steep, but bear in mind that you get 2.5x the amount with these than with the lip shimmers! (6ml in lip shimmers, 15 ml in shine glosses). This means they even contain more than MAC lipglasses!!! Armani glosses are my absolute favourites!

Gah, I'll use it up but won't buy again. The color isn't red enough on me- it's reaaaaaly sheer, more of a raspberry-orange tint on me. The applicator doesn't bother me, and I'm getting used to the texture although it's stickier than I'm used to. I do like it, but I think part of that is because it's Armani.

I caved in and had a friend custom purchase this gloss for me, and I'm glad I did.
It's a beautiful very sheer red with just the right amount of shimmer. It gives me that pouty full mouth look without looking tacky. My only gripe is the $$ price tag.

Love, love, love this!
It gives a very sheer red stain on your lips when used. I used to use the philisophy supernatural (a red tint) followed with lip gloss but stop cos it was getting messy...no mess with this! Plus it does not go all gluey on my lips.
Will most definitely repurchase.
UPDATE: I bought the Armani lip pencil in #4 to use under the gloss. Makes the lg look a richer red.

Another beautiful gloss from Armani - a berry red with matching subtle shimmer - it's in a tube with a slant tip instead of a wand like the Lip Shimmers. This goes on more sheerly than it appears in the tube and gives you sort of a muted strawberry shine. No scent and not really sticky, it's a wearable red, perfect for those who can't usually do reds. Think Chanel Spark or Delux Norris, only more sheer.

While this is not my color (I can't seem to make anything with red in it work for me) the gloss is great. It has that NARS type quality of being understated and classy while still having glimmer in it. The formula is wonderfully moisturizing and I love that it comes in a slanted tube applicator. I like wand glosses, but these are more sanitary without the hassle of having to use a lipbrush. I am very excited for the entire Armani range of cosmetics! Tres chic!

the texture of this lip gloss is nice - not too light, but not too sticky. somewhere between fresh lipgloss and a chanel. the color is so pretty too - it is a red gloss, but is very sheer. it deposits subtle red shimmer on the lips, and on me it actually looks more deep rosey than red. it's great for day and for night!

This is packed a little like Lancome JT, in a tube with a slanted applicator, but the quality is far more superior than JT. (not that i have anything against JTs, I love them!) A very sweet MUA'er did a CP for me, and I am absolutely thrilled with the gloss! It's a very gorgeous red in the tube, and when applied it becomes much sheerer with just the perfect wash of colour over the lips. It makes my chapped lips look smooth, and it has just the right amount of pigment and shimmer - the consistency and texture is amazing too. I am gonna start collecting these glosses!
