I LOVED THIS LIPGLOSS. It was the perfect plummy shade and the price was fantastic. Unfortunatley I have not been able to find this shade again, I think it might have been a limited edition. If anyone knows of a similar shade, do tell.

A slightly plummy light rose with goldy bronze glitter. Very glossy and pretty on my lips, and very sheer. LE so it's not available anymore, which isn't a huge tragedy, in my humble opinion, as the color isn't incredibly unique, and L'Oreal seems to put out a slight variation on it in every other seasonal collection.

I received this as an extra from a terrific MUAer, and I love the way this l/g smells (like raisins!) and looks on my semi-pigmented lips! I am NC35, olive-tan complexion, black hair, and this is a nice, subtle, yet understated plum with sophisticated shimmer. Wakes up my complexion when I want to go for a lipgloss only kind of look. Its a squeeze out applicator, with a tiny hole, which I think is great so one doesn't overapply the product. Its not sticky at all, and moisturizes my lips pretty darn well! Perfect shade for the Fall season and I like it 100 times better than MACs Viva Glam V l/g!!

Unfortunately, this CJ doesn't show up on me. While I do believe it will be OK over lipsticks to add a bit of gold glimmer and some gloss. Alone, it didn't add much pigment at all- only a teeny tiny hint of nude color. My lips aren't very pigmented, so they do need a hint of color. And the gold shine wasn't very pronounced either. Revlon Super Lustrous l/g in Raisin Glaze blows this one out of the water.

so nice, such a good product for the money! really comparable to LGLASS by mac. This a really nice color if you like a cool nude wash w/ some sparkle. (low points for packaging--i'm not a fan of the tube!)

What is the big deal about this very standard lipgloss? It totally sucks (now I sound like a teenager full of angst *lol*!!) and was nothing what I expected. I had heard and read that it was a bronze colour with rose or raisin undertones but I think not! To me it is a boring drab beige with sparkles that does not show up as the name implies. I wanted this to make me look like a MAIDEN IN RAISIN but it didn't and I'm afraid it's simply the poor cousin of Lancome Desert Juicy Tube which is DIVINE and how this one should be!!

This is a plummy rose shade with a pretty shimmer to it. It has a nice sweet candy scent that smells a lot nicer than it sounds. I almost didn't get this because I thought it would be too dark but it's not at all. It also adds a nice shine to my lips.

I *love* these lipglosses! I got into them a few months ago and I am not a devoted addict. I love the smell most of all! they are shiny, shimmery, and feel smooth and not too sticky on the lips but yet, they last. These are so excellent for applying over lipsticks. I like the squeeze tube, but I think a slanted applicator would be better. Also, these cost too much money ($9 canadian) and are hard to find up here. Great over lipcolors.
MIR is a sheer bronzey rose color. Darkens my lips a bit and adds tons of shine w/ gold shimmer.

I lost the first tube I bought of this, so I had to buy another. I love this color *very* much. A sheer, rosey bronze color. Looks awesome over lipsticks or alone for a semi-natural look. I love the scent of these glosses, the feel is lovely as well. The price however, ($9) leaves a little to be desired.

I only own two CJs, this one and Sand Dollar. This is a beautiful sheer plummy brown on me with tons of gold microshimmer. Not chunky gritty glitter like MAC Snowgirl. This color looks equally terrific with a dressy smokey eye, neutral lip look OR a natural Saturday morning look. I love the squeeze tube applicator which keeps the product inside sanitary and uncontaminated.
I just wish that Canadians had better access to these CJs.

This is the best lipcolor I have ever used, and I am a lipgloss freak! After I bought this, I noticed that this color brought my whole makeup look together and allows for me to wear very dark eyes with a good balance.
It is a definate taupe-brown with a ton of gold micro-glitter in it, but when you put it on (and it looks great over a nude-brown liner)it is sheer and the gold flecks just makes your lips look wet and shiney. Also, the staying power is quite good, and does not recede to the point where I only have a ring of lipliner left.
I used to buy a ton of pinky-brown glosses in an attempt to locate that perfect shade, but this gloss is what I have been looking for without the pink in it, and I didn't even know it!
I'm just sad because this is LE and I already can not find any more of it and I have been to four stores-bummer!

The best brown lip gloss ever! So gorgeous, and it works on everyone! There is not a single person this has looked bad on, that I've seen. From a pale redhead, to a dark-skinned brunette, it is equally flattering. Plus the glitter is subtle, but still adds glamour. LE, so run, don't walk, and get this if you like LG, L'Oreal, brown, or glitter.

Among my favourites of the Colour Juices. I can't see any plum in this gloss. It's a sheer brown with TONS of microglitter. The microglitter almosts looks iridescent in the tube, but on lips it's not quite as scary. My only problem with this gloss is that the glitter is kind of rough. This is the only Colour Juice that I've had this problem with so I'm assuming that I just got a bad batch.

I have many of the old ones but this fall 2003 line is the BEST! I just got Maiden in Raisin and Her Majesty's Rose at Walgreen's BOGO for $5.49 sale. Maiden in Raisin is my new absolute favorite- it has multi-colored microglitter in a sheer brown gloss. Gorgeous! The rose one is also very pretty, sheer pink with shimmer. They totally have more character and flashes of color, shimmer, etc. than last season's. These are awesome!!!

This is by far my favorite Colour Juice! Maiden in Raisin is a warm, toasted plum. It deepens my lips slightly and imparts a beautiful, pigmented hazelnut shimmer to them. As with all CJs, there is the sweet, candy-like scent, and MiR manages to make my lips look very shiny and glassy. The texture of the gloss is thick and syrupy, but not overly sticky. Just gorgeous!

I'm surprised, but I really like this gloss! In the tube it looks really warm-toned and brown, but I got such a deal (2 for $3.99) that I said what the heck. I'm glad I did! It's kind of a sparkly nude on my pigmented lips, but it doesn't wash me out or make my PPP skin look sallow. The sparkles are very fine and multi-colored, and the result is beautiful. I'm just not crazy about the scent.

This is one of the prettier ColorJuice's. It looks like dark plum in the tube, but it goes on a sheer, brownish-raisin shade with tons of gold shimmer. All the shimmer makes my lips look 3-Dimensional. Its a really great color, enhances the shade of my lips, which not alot of things do since I have an odd natural lip color. I'd definatly buy this again.

This is definitely YLBB on me, PPP, dark hair, I agree it looks dark in the tube but very sheer on. I might have to stock up since it's LE.

What a nice colour! Yes, this is sheer, but it's gloss, not a lipstick. I love the gold shimmer. This is sooo sexy! I find it is less sticky than Lancome JT, but the lasting power is just as good. I've had it on for hours and ate a popsicle and my lips still shimmer. Will stock up because I believe this is LE.

This is the best lip gloss color I 've ever tried. I have medium tone Asian skin and I usually go for the beige/peach colors but I went out on a limb and bought this and its great. Its my natural lip color but way better. I worried that it may look too "bronzey" on me. The formula is a bit sticky but the benefit is that it lasts even with constant lip tasting. One minus is that its a bit pricey (7.49) for a drug store brand gloss. But it is way better than the other drug brand glosses like Maybelline's wet diamond shine.
