Oh goodness. I could eat this.
A lovely, shimmery but not overly so gloss with a brown tint. Does not feel gloopy and goes on fantastically. Love the texture - so smooth. And the smell, and the taste! The jar is glass with a lovely vintage cover. The only issue with this is the staying power - and that's only cos I end up eating it. It stays quite well otherwise.

I have this in the Rose Bonbon which is fantastic too. Both are HGs, but unfortunately I think it's been d/c in Australia.

I love this product. It is a lovely caramel shade and the texture on the lips is not sticky, but certainly not thin. It gives a nice coating on the lips that lasts at least a couple of hours(provided that you do not lick it off or wipe it off). I had some salted peanuts and some mango juice and my lips still have a nice layer of gloss. The absolute best part of this gloss, imho, is that it smells just like caramel. I love vanilla products, but the caramel scent in this is so nice(although the product does say vanilla). Plus, I love the mini glass jar; so classy with a French look to it. I fully plan on purchasing another one.

Gorgeous light color, very emollient, smells and tastes great, long-lasting and not too sticky. In short, a perfect lip gloss.

This is gorgeous! As a gloss, I find it more moisturising than L'Occitane's Honey l/b, the scent and taste are fabulous, gorgeously covetable little glass jar which I am always too pleased to show off, and the light pink tint just makes my lips a little glossy (not in-your-face shiney). I would love it if the Honey l/b jar had this consistency. Will repurchase.

This is my first L'Occitane lipgloss and it certainly won't be my last. It's different from other glosses in the sense it's not super shiny. It's more of a balm on me. Less shiny than say Smith's Rosebud Salve. Reminds me of Perfumeria Gal balms. Very luxurious, rich and moisturizing. I love it has just a tiny bit of color. I slept with it on and in the morning my lips were very smooth and still moisturized. The glass pot reminds me of a 20's movie. I bought a lip brush especially for this so I don't get all the goop under my nails. There are other flavors I want to try like the rose one and the honey one. Eau des 4 Reines will probably be my next purchase.

This is just good stuff. I'd say it's more of a balm than a gloss. Texture is rich, thick and sticky without being too much so. Color is very soft and sheer with gold shimmer on my medium plummy pigmented lips. Very natural. Stays a long time. I get more of a "toasty" taste and scent...not so much vanilla, but very nice. Agree the pot is cute and all but tube would be make this the perfect go-natural/at the beach balm for me. I still use it often.

This is a delicious Lip Gloss, if that makes any sense! lol :-) I really enjoy the taste and smell (sweet vanilla).

On my lips, this is almost sheer. It gives a sublte beige-ish/golden shine to my lips, and contains glitters. A bit thick but this gloss trully has moisturizing properties.

The tin is cute and reminds me of some old tins I've seen. But I agree that it would be more hygienic in a tube.

I'm pretty sure that Vanilla Lovers will like this gloss. :-)

I'm adding my voice to the chorus of praise for this gloss. The only thing I would change would be to put it in a tube rather than a pot. I don't like getting goop under my nails, so I just use a brush, which is no biggie except it's not as portable, but that's just a little complaint. The pot IS cute, and goes with the L'occitane "look." I've noticed they don't use a a lot of plastic in their packaging but tend toward old-school glass or metal. As for the gloss itself, from the look of it I expected it to be clear, but it actually gives my lips a warm, transparent, golden hue, with a bit of shimmer. It's not overly shiny and not at all frosty, and works well layered over lip pencil. In fact, over a caramel brown pencil, this looks pretty darn sexy. The texture is thick and gooey enough to have staying power; it doesn't last as well as Victoria's Secret Sweet Talk gloss does, but it's not nearly as sticky either. The formula isn't drying, and the taste and smell are quite pleasant. This would be a great gift for someone who likes vanilla scented things. I'm quite curious to try the rose one too.

I love this gloss. It's got a subtle shine, a slight hint of sparkle, and it's a caramel color that goes on almost clear. It's one of those glosses that isn't very pigmented, but tends to even out the natural color of your lips. I love glosses that do that. This one smells slightly of vanilla, but it's definitely not an overpowering scent. It's also thick, but not sticky at all. An added bonus: It's actually very moisturizing! It's just lovely, and of course I'll buy it again! I didn't know they had a rose one (it wasn't at the L'Occitane store when I went), but I'll definitely buy one. If it feels as good on as this one does, I'm guaranteed to love it.

This is a lovely pot of gloss that smells yummy and leaves a gorgeous brown sugar shimmer on your lips. Retails at AUD $14.95 and I would definately repurchase - keen to check out the Rose Bonbon one too!

Check out my pic too!
