I don't like this color and the way it feels on my lips. And the taste is kind of gross. However, my fiance loved the color and complimented me. So, I will only be wearing it on the weekends with him but I will not repurchase.

Lipslicks are HG for me, I love the level of tint and silky feeling. This shade took awhile for me to like. I am NW15 by the way, but with very pigmented lips.

This one will probably look "porn starish" as another reviewer noted if your skin tone is above NW/NC20. Also, it does highlight chapped lips, so put chapstick on beforehand, or just layer it up (but then it's really frosty!).

I find that when my lips are not chapped and I am wearing minimal makeup, this is a lovely accent and because my lips are so naturally pigmented, the frost is not as obvious with just one layer. It actually gives me a peachy pinky MLBB glossy look. I think if you are very fair and have time to scrub your lips here and there, you will be pleased with this shade.

My profile, for FYI:
NW10/15, cool toned, blue eyes, normal/oily skin, 3a fine but coarse curly hair but I wear straight thanks to keratin treatments!

This is a lip stick with the feeling of a balm (not a gloss). The pigmentation is not strong, which I am okay with, and it is a little too shimmery for me (I really prefer a matte lip or a glossy lip - no shimmer or glitter). Overall it's lovely, especially nice if you only want to keep one lip product in your bag.

I've had these on and off since high school. And I still like them! They're light in color, but a cute and glossy. I find it a bit drying on its own, but fine over balm. I suspect that I like this more than I should - its the been wearing since high school connection that I like. Ocassionally I find the color of this to be a bit too cool / frosty for my warm coloring.

Heinous color.

I hated it so much, I had tor return it - I exchanged the LS for a neutrogena tinted balm without shine since they are not selling the Burts Bees' new release in my area. The kind of pale lavender overtones of this balm look nice MATTE - the shimmer is just way way too much - I have an issue when my balms start to look paler than my skin, and then reflect light on top of that.

Additionally, the texture was more of an old-fashioned lipstick - waxy, thick for balm and not very moisturizing...

My review is basically the same as the person directly under me. I was hoping for something sheer and rosy, but it did come out more lilac-pink than I wanted. It's a cute color on a little girl, perhaps, but I felt like I was a little too old for this color. Also, since I have extremely beige skin, this lilac-pink color looked a little too cool on me.


As for the smell, yes, it's pretty awful. It's like the standard lipstick smell. Also, don't panic if it seems really pigmented at first. When you first open it, it's pretty dry so it looks like your lips are peeling. After it warmed up to being used, though, it became a lot more sheer and easy to put on.


The moisturizing aspect is pretty good, about the same as any other chapstick. I guess in theory, this product was a good idea, but I don't like this color very much. I may attempt to use another color before I decide if I love or hate this product.

I love lipslicks (the darker berry shades)... but this one isnt so cute. I have really pigmented lips so I didnt think it would show up. I bascially fell in love with the baby pink packaging and I love the size actually. (Makes it easier to grab at the bottom of my purse..) I was hoping for a slight baby pink tint or worst case scenario- no color... just sheer. This did show up...purpley frost. The cool lavender undertone doesnt look so good on me. You cant tell at all that it would be this cool when you look at it in the packaging. This would be great for people that like a light lavender-pink frost. I would repurchase lipslicks but not this shade. I'll keep it in my purse for a chapped lip emergency if I dont lose it first. ;-) Who knows? Maybe I'll grow to love the color. Right now? Not so much.

Very nice product! I don't like lipsticks because they add too much color but I don't like leaving my lips totally bare, so this was perfect for me. Offers a tinge of color for a more natural look and not so dramatic. Also I like the shine, it's not over powering like some lip glosses out there, but still noticeable. Only complaint is that I have to reapply often. After an hour or so, the color is still there, but my lips feel really dry. But I don't mind reapplying too much :)

I love this product. If you want a lipstick that doesn't look like you got makeup on, this is it. This is a very very light pink color. My lips have very little color to them, so I apply this to make it look like a natural pink color. Also, it keeps the lips plump. Would recommend this if you want the subtle look.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these lip glosses. I am a lip gloss ADDICT and I find that I RUSH to the store when I'm close to getting out of these. I have one in just about every color and keep 'em everywhere. They are smooth and last a while...and for the price, I don't mind keeping a couple on hand at all times...this is definitely one of my HG's.

First off, the texture is very smooth - pretty much a lip balm. It has shimmer, and looks a little bit frosty, but I like frosty lipglosses. As far as the shine goes, it's alright, nothing too shiny - pretty subtle. The scent is terrible, it's a typical plasticky scent of lipstick, horrible when applying but you can't smell it after a while. I got this for $2 on a 40% off sale, it retails for $4.19 at my drugstore. I probably would buy this in other colors, but not this one seeing that it's going to last me quite a while.

This is a pale frosty pink which looks a little dated. In the tube it does look darker but goes on very sheer. In the tube it doesn't look frosty at all, but once applied there is this mauvey shimmer to it that is way too cool for my skin tone. I hate the color as it makes me look ridiculous, but the texture is ok. I will use this up as it feels like a balm on my lips, but won't be buying this color again.

This color is too light for my lips, as it leaves me with a frosty color that doesn't look natural. Also, the smell is kind of gross, but I can live with it. It does, however keep my lips moisturized, which is good, because usually my lips are always dry. I think I'd like this product better in a different color.

Princess is pretty much my natural lip color, just with a little added pink. It's very pretty. This is a great color for girls with lighter skin and lighter colored lips. On dark skin and more pigmented lips, I imagine it would look overly frosty and kind of pornstar-ish. As for the formula, this wears just like a balm, only with a little added color. It does tend to wear off quickly, but like any balm, you can reapply as often as needed. I personally love lipslicks because they feel great on my lips and add color. My only complaint is the scent and taste. It's not horrible or too distracting but I'd prefer either no scent or taste or a subtle fruity taste and scent. Oh, the packaging leaves a bit to be desired. The cap comes off in my purse sometimes. But other than that, I recommend this product!

I like this stuff in any color. It gives a little lift without the "made up" look that I think lipstick does. It feels good. I wish it lasted longer on, but that's a lipgloss issue. My main problem is that the lid comes off in my pocket or bag & then the product goes somewhere it shouldn't, like under my nails when I reach to get it. Also I wish the tube were smaller so it would take up less space in my pocket. With the large size, it is cheap though.

this is a REALLY pale, frosty pink. I'm pretty pale myself, but this made me look washed out to the max. Love the formula but the color is no good.

After only using this serveral times my lips started to burn and soon after, all the skin on my lips started to peel off. I have Celiac Disease and as there wasn't an ingredient list on the packaging, I figure there may be some wheat germ oil or something in this lipgloss that caused my reaction. Therefore after my reaction I would not buy this again. Also I didn't like the color, it made my very fair skin look very washed out.

This is a pretty color in the tube but with very little color pay off on my lips. The color is sheer to the point of being almost invisible. I'm fair with cool tones and blue/green eyes. this is a slick formula on my lips not goopy or sticky at all. It did give some amount of shine, but wore away quickly. I gave this to my daughter (she's 9) because she can slather it on and I worry about turning around in the car and seeing JOKER staring back at me! lol.

Ug, this stuff is AFUL, I can't believe so many people like it! It smells and tastes like old halloween makeup. GROSS!!!!!! on, it looks like you have chapped lips. and of course it gets around your lips too making the skin around them look pink as well. the texture is smooth, but the taste is sooooooooo baaaaaad and the look is so bad I just can't get over it. *note to self* stay away from CG lip stuff!

I hate lipstick so this is nice because its in between being a lipstick and a gloss. Contrary to what one wants to believe a woman of color can wear this lipslicks b/c i do and i look great with it on. Its light and shimmery. It gives a hint of color to your lips. I like it.
