I picked this up at a CCO (outlet) for only $12.25 (0.24 oz).
Shade: Galaxy (Y/O for Px fans).
I am NW20 and can easily wear this shade.
This has a brush/wand applicator.
This gloss is a finely shimmered, not obnoxious at all.
I would say it's a warm peachy-gold, chrome look.
Flavor - none detected.
Quality - wonderful, at least as good as MAC lipglass.
Too bad this Px line is discontinued. :(
Note: I sampled MAC Dazzleglass at the outlet and found it to be full of glitter chunks - so if you are not into that, avoid the Dazzleglass.

Color of gloss (and all the other shades) is fine, but I can't stand the fact that it has mint in it. Not only is it a known irritant, when you've had it for next to no time, it develops that "chemical" smell that has been complained about in there reviews. I will always read the ingredient label carefully now to make sure it contains no mint or menthol!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR "AERO 02"
This is a really pretty warm brown/ honey gold color. It's glossy & has alot of shimmer to it. Not like you sucked on a glitter stick. It compliments dark/ tan/bronze skin really well. I recommend if your a warm skin tone

This is going to sound weird, but this just isn't "sticky" enough for me. It has no staying power and it just makes my lips feel slimy. It's on my swap items right now. I'm not a fan. Good thing they gave it to me for free.

I loved this product and was prepared to purchase every single color in the line until one of them leaked all over my $400 Coach handbag. I have been very careful to wipe off the tube and close it tightly, and the darn thing leaked anyway. I will never wear this again, and all the tubes are now in the garbage.

I absolutely love these glosses! I just purchased yet another today, and it is a very pretty pale pink, Solstice. I like the thickness, and they do tend to last on me longer than some of the others. The scent is not the best, nor the worst I have smelled, anything too fruity or flowery makes me ill. I would repurchase, and can't wait to wear this color in the summer. Now it will have to work with my smokey eyes for winter.

The best lip gloss ever made. I swear. I have the colors Comet and Planetary. I got these as part of a gift for my birthday and, when I got my skin colormatched, the lady doing my makeup mixed them together to make a more lavender pink. AWESOME!!

These glosses are not super sticky or super slick, they are nicely pigmemted and come in a variety of shades. Lots of gloss in that tube! Grown up shimmer--not pre-teen chunks of sparkle or gritty holographic dazzle which makes the glosses pefect for conservative office wear and a night on the town. All of the shades can be built up from a slight hint of color to the full bling shade of the tube. Nice brush applicator--not too stiff or bristly. I have nineteen of these and will continue to purchase more!

I don't wear any kind of red lipstick or glosses but I received Moonbeam in Meteor as a sample from Px. Absolutely beautiful; would never have thought this would actually be such a wonderfully reflective berry color with gold flecks. Like I said, I neve wear red and this looked incredible on my lips.

I'm not much of a gloss gal - too sticky - but I like this one. Goes on smooth, but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing latex on my lips. Plus, lots of pretty colors. I'm going back for more this weekend!

I went to my local department store to check these out after reading in a mgazine about them.The makeup artist who represents Px,Poppy King,had talked about the shade "Hi-Velocity".It's a nice shimmery super light pink.This shade is everything I wanted Chanel's Brilliance Glossimer to be.Gives your lips a nice glow and can be used as a beautiful highlight over lipsticks.Decent staying power.I'm not wild about the packaging though.

Beautiful colors and generous amount of gloss due to its modern packaging, but I could not get past the chemical smell. I loved the shine factor and pretty sparkles, too. It went on smoothly and evenly. The smell always made me feel I was using an expired product, and I tried three new glosses, but to not avail. Perhaps when they made it smell better.

Foolishly, I bought two of these (Meteor and Coral) because I couldn't decide which color to get. The quality is poor; rather runny and -- my lip gloss pet peeve -- the color runs all the way up the wand for a big mess. YUCK! Doesn't stay on my lips the way MAC, Chanel or Bobbi Brown glosses do...or even as well as Loreal Glam Shine for that matter.

I would take these back but don't have the heart. I think I'll give them to my daughter.

I had a color-match session at my local Prescriptives counter, of course I got suckered into buying $200 woth of makeup (no skin care products, just makeup). The SA did a wonderful job of helping me pick out lots of new colors, I chose the Moonbeam Refelective Gloss in Super Sonic. I refer to it as my "hooker pink" gloss, but I got several compliments while in Kaufmanns. It's very flattering to most pasty pale ladies like myself, and quite long lasting for a gloss :)

Smooth texture with nice gleam - no chunks of glitter or vulgar shimmer. I keep a tube of supernova in my pocket while at work. The brush kind of tickles my lips, but that can be fun too. I'll actually dab a bit on my eyelids in a pinch to give them some glow.

I have this in Supernova and Aurora. These remind me of Stila's It Gloss, though you get .08 oz more (.24 vs. .17). The shimmer is a grown up shimmer and not gritty which is a real plus. The flavor is slightly minty and wears off quick. Stila's is a cakey vanilla flavor (yum) I think I like Stila's packaging better than Px's version. They are both made in Italy. Staying power is no better or worse than other higher end glosses, and the texture is not as sticky as Lipglass. Comes with a small brush as an applicator, similar to MAC Lusterglass. I would purchase again if a color would catch my eye.

I love Px Moonbeam glosses. I've been eye-ing them for a while, ever since an MA put a dollop of Hi-Velocity (gorgeous, complex pink w/ purple iridescence) over my lipstick during a makeover. Since I didn't want to shell out $17.50 for one color back then, I'd feel a tinge of regret/longing every time I passed by a Prescriptives counter since. ;-p



Luckily, Px comes out with holiday mini-moonbeam sets which I feel are such a great bang for your buck. At $26.50, you get four mini-sized .09 oz tubes. Woo hoo! :-)


The Christmas set I got came with two regular colors: Meteor, a sheer, cherry-red with gold-ish shimmer and
Deep Space, a slightly more opaque berry plum with shimmer; and two limited edition ones: Cosmic, a pinky champagne with shimmer (kinda like a lighter version of Stellar ); and Comet, a shimmery, champagne peach (closest to the regular color Astral ).



My favorite is Meteor, with Comet coming in as a close second. I use Deep Space the least coz it's a bit too dark for me. Maybe I'll reach for it more in the Fall.



The consistency of these glosses are not too sticky and I don't notice any fragrance. They're kind of like Mac Lustreglass in consistency (I'm pretty sure Px came out first). It has a nailpolish type brush applicator and a really cool shaped bottle. Anyway, so if you like shimmery lip glosses with a great consistency, check these out. If you don't want to pay $17.50 for a full size tube, then keep a lookout for the holiday sets! Right now, I'm tempted to get the Mother's Day set (comes with Stellar, Lunar, Planetary and Neutron in a cute makeup bag).

Got this in Supernova...it's a nice gloss, not too much sparkle or tackiness, but I wish it had a different applicator. I'm just not crazy about the brush-style wand inside...seems a bit messier than the sponge-tipped wand most other glosses use.
