Unfortunately, this does nothing for my pigmented lips =( Just looks like clear gloss with very slight sparkle. I don't detect any fragrance nor can I taste anything discernible, which is great. I also like the squeezy tube packaging that ensures no product will go to waste. I actually use this as a primer under dry lipsticks (fills in the fine lines for smooth application; any l/g with similar consitency will do).

I have yet to find a lip gloss I like better than this, and I have tried a lot...even more expensive ones. Breathless is such a pretty pink color. I love the hint of shimmer and the fact that it goes with almost any make-up look. Not too sticky at all and has decent staying power. Application is easy too because you can squeeze out as much, or as little as you want. Would recommend to anyone.

This is a very sheer light pink gloss with subtle, very pretty and non-gritty micro-glitter. It comes in a squeeze tube making application fast and easy. On my lips Breathless looks clear with subtle sparkles that last through a cup of coffee, is not sticky and is without scent. This will be my summer gloss. Annabelle should look into making a matching polish to this gloss. Both would be just beautiful!

I got this dirt cheap for the tan skin+lighter lips look. After it should have been wiped off, I still had light pink and a sheen on my lips - evenly distributed and nothing displaced - enough for someone to ask if I was sick because my lips were still pale! No stickiness, no silly flavors, no smells, I love it. Great tube+brush packaging, too.

I really liked this gloss. It adds a bit of paleness to your lips, which I like cuz I have pigmented lips. It's stick¥ but stays on for a decent amount of time. No scent or flavour, good packaging.

This is okay, nice pale lipgloss but a little to clear. It's nice when over top of something. I found that putting a little lip balm (Lip Medex) underneath keeps it looking freshly applied and keeps the colour a lot truer. I will try another colour next time.

I was looking for a sheer gloss but with enough colour to make my lips stand out. So when I saw Annabelle Le Gloss I decided this would definatley be worth a try, especially for $7.99. The gloss did everything I wanted it to do. And the squeezy tube with a wand was genius so you get the whole 8 dollars worth of gloss. Application was simple and the packaging was subtle but nice. The lasting time of the gloss was a cool 2 hours. This is one of my favourite glosses. I'm definatley buying again!

Annabelle has surprised me very much. I was originally looking for a sheer gloss with a pinkish hue, so I bought Breathless Souflée. At first upon application, I didn't really like it because it looked way too clear for me... but I did grow to like it very very much. I love the micro-glitter that adds for a lustre effect on my lips, it's very subtle and pretty. It somehow makes my lips look more pouty, which is relatively rare in a lipgloss for me.

The lasting power is amazing (several hours) and the formula is not sticky whatsoever. I love the packaging of this (why hasn't anyone else thought of it!), it's a wand in a soft squeeze tube, so that you can get every single last bit of gloss in the tube. I bring it with me everywhere I go without worrying about the gloss leaking out of the packaging like some other glosses!


I bought it on sale at Shopper's Drug Mart for $4.99, when the original price is about $7.99. Definitely will repurchase, but this will probably last me a while!

I really have had luck with the Annabelle lip glosses. This colour is by far my favorite. I like to do sheer pink shadows and sheer pink blush, looks good with dark brown hair, and this is the perfect gloss to go with that look. It has pretty goos staying quality and isn't too sticky. Worth a try, and a rebuy!

This gloss is great. It is comparable in texture to MAC lipglasses, however I don't find it to be as drying. The lasting power is very good too. Breathless is a very light pink that has a little bit of shimmer frost to it. It is very sheer, and is great to layer. It looks good mixed with other glosses, or overtop of a pink lip stain.

I own 5 or 6 different shades, Breathless is one of my favorite. It's a pretty sheer pink color, would be flattering to most pale ladies IMO.

Not sticky, not too thick, not greasy but very very shiny... for the price, you can't go wrong!

Nice shade for summer, or even for an every-day look. It adds a tad of pink to the lips.

I received this from my MUA friend Yeyette! Obsessedwithmac described this color very well... Breathless (aka "Souffle") is slightly reminiscent of MAC's Oyster Girl, though not as opaque, which I like!
It's glossy without being sticky, and although not very pigmented, it looks great layered over a lipstick to add shimmer and dimension. The tube is rather large, and it has a doe-foot applicator. The only thing I am concerned about is the fact that it's a soft, squeezy tube... I've had bad experiences with it before.
Aside from that, I really like it... no offensive odor, not too sticky, and lasts a pretty long time on the lips. And, it looks BEAUTIFUL when layered over NARS Galaxy Girl lippie!!
I would definitely like to try other colors!
Thanks, Yeyette for introducing this to me!! :))

EDIT: This also looks gorgeous over the Marcelle Le Baiser du Dragon lipliner!! :))

Annabelle has re-introduced the gloss they brought out last year. I'm not sure if they're LE this time around, but I hope they aren't. They are a wand gloss, but they come in a squeeze tube. Very useful for when you get close to the end of the gloss. They are a generous size at 12ml, 3 ml less than a JT or a mac lipglass stain.
Breathless is a light iridescent pink color, quite similar to mac oyster girl but it is less opaque and has more pink iridescence. I love this over other colors, alone it's pretty sheer. I don't have very pigmented lips so on someone who has them I can see this being basically clear.
The feel is semi-sticky. Sortof smooth, not gummy. Less sticky than a lipglass. Great lasting power, equally great shine. No scent, tastes ever so slightly sweet. $6 pricetag.
Overall, I like this gloss. I want to get at least 3 more colors of the 7-8 released.
