Considering I don't wear lip gloss very much, I picked this up at my local Dollar Tree. I thought it was a very pretty pink, and I was right. This color leaves just enough pink and is sheer, so its not too pink. And there is a little shimmer, but not too much. Overall quality- It's a little sticky, but very moisterizing. I am able to look past that minor imperfection. I plan to go back and buy more. I love the brush applicator. I don't know why so many people hate it. I think it applies so much easier than the sponge-tipped ones.

I brought this product at the local Dollar Tree in my area. I was looking at other cosmetics and I came across Diamond Lip Treatment "Brilliant Blush." I thought the color was pretty pink and I was skeptical that the pink would be too pink for me. I have chocolate skin, its been a few pinks that was too bright for my lips and skin tone. I brought it and I eventually put it on, I loved it. The color and shimmer is so nice on my lips.

Why it only got 4 stars instead of five, its very sticky. Plus you have to keep coating the lips and the lip brush is not all that good to use.
But overall I love the color, if Dollar Tree have anymore more in this particular color I would buy it. It only cost me $1, so I can't beat that.

Pretty thick and somewhat sticky. "Brilliant Blush" literally looked clear with shimmer on me. Numbed my lips but didn't plump. Love the diamond on the packaging, but the brush was a stupid design as you can't stick it back in the bottle without it getting all screwed up on the opening and shoved into the neck all bent. Otherwise, it had great shine and was moisturizing, but nothing to call home about.

I love this lip gloss! As 99% of the readers have already pointed out, it is a very light, pinkish peach nude color that goes on very sheer- nearly clear, but not quite.

The texture is thick and rich without being too sticky (I've learned not to wear lip gloss when it's windy or when I'm driving with my convertable top down....haha)

The tube does not say that this is a plumping lip gloss, however, it does make my lips tingle and go slightly numb and plump- not a big deal in my opinion, but they should lable it plumping or tingling so those who don't like the tingle of a plumping gloss or those with sensitive lips do not purchase it.

My only complaint with this gloss is the brush applicator- I much prefer the sponge-tip applicators. When I purchased my gloss (I got this shade and the gold shade) there were a few errant bristles that splayed out to the sides and made it difficult to put the top back on without getting gloss on the outside of the tube, and occasionally makes me end up with gloss outside my lips... I think I'll be trimming the bristles. It's not a big enough complaint to make me take off a lippie though.

Aside from that, This is my HG lip gloss and I will definitely re-purchase it if I run across it again.

I bought this at the grocery store the other day on a whim, as my lips feel dry if I'm not wearing lip gloss (addict!!) and this was supposed to be moisturizing. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised! It's a beautiful peachy-pink, which did NOT show up clear on my highly pigmented lips, so that in itself was amazing. It looks great on! It's ultra-shiny, which I love, and did seem to moisturize as claimed. My only complaint is it's somewhat hard to apply because it's pretty thick. I would definitely purchase this again-- cheapest lip gloss I own!!

*Sigh* This looked so pretty in the tube but shows up practically clear on my lips . I bought this thinking it might be a match for Maybelline's dicontinued WSD lipgloss in Fair Maiden which shows up a very pretty peach on my (pigmented!) lips but sadly this was not so. I give it props for the moisturizing properties and less-sticky-than-most formula, though I dislike the brush-style applicator. I will not be buying this color again though if I find another color I like I'll be willing to give this line another chance.

This was my first Sally Hansen lip gloss, and I love it! I like really sheer, sparkly lip glosses and this one is perfect! It's very shiny and has just the right amount of sparkle, the texture is nice, and it smells good. On my lips, this gloss barely has any color...just a tiny hint of pinky-peach that gives a little "oomph" to my natural lip color.

I now have four of these glosses, and I use this one the most. I'll definitely repurchase.

The color is really pretty-sheer pink with lots of shimmer. Don't know how in love I am with the brush though-the diamond glosses come in a slim tub with a nail polish like application brush. The bristles of the brush of mine got stuck together and cakey and it was kinda gross. The scent is pleasant though and since the color was nice as well I'd probably purchase this again if I saw it on sale.

Brilliant Blush is perfect when I want a sexy, full, shimmery light pink pout. Sheer color, but the results are fantastic when you want a more natural look. A pretty peachy-pink in the tube. And the Diamond Lip treatment formula is fab! Slightly-sticky, lasts relatively well, GREAT shimmer/shine, comfortable on the lips and the yummiest coconut-vanilla smell. I also adore the brush applicator. For 5 bucks, it's a winner.

Absolutely stunning in the container. The perfect peachy pink with fine, amazing sparkles. On the lips=clear with a tiny touch of peach and sparkle. The formula is incrediably glossy and wears well...but it makes my lips numb :(

I was disappointed in this product. In the tube, it's a very beautiful color but on my lips, it shows up clear. I read the reviews before I got it but I ignored the warning of its sheerness simply because I fell in love with the color in the tube! It's sticky which makes it last longer but I have realized that I prefer lip gloss that is less sticky. I do like the vanilla scent. I definitely will not repurchase.

Oh Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment, where have you gone?? I was lucky enough to pick this up at a Duane Reades. It was the best lip gloss ever, which of course, I've lost. It's IMPOSSIBLE to find. After I brought it home and tried it on it was PERFECT! I slighty natural pink shade you put on and go, no fuss! I vowed to go back and get more, I've put my friends on the hunt for them, but they're nowhere to be found! I might have to ebay it. If you find this lip gloss, GET THEM!!

HG material here! This color, Brilliant Blush, is a very nice subtle pink that basically just gives a hint of pink and shine. Boy, does it give shine! There's also shimmer, but it's very small particles and not big glitter chunks. It goes on very nicely with the wand applicator, and it only cost me about $4!

My first diamond lip treatment gloss. I'm disappointed in its sheerness. I wish it would be more pigmented b/c the color looks gorgeous in the tube. It actually looks clear with a hint of peachy nude on my pigmented lips. But I love how it's SO shiny for HOURS. If it has more pigments, it'll beat MAC lipglass. It only costs $2 a pop cuz there was a huge sale at Walgreens. I will love to try other colors.

Sally Hansen's Brilliant Blush shade gives a blushing effect to lips, the same way a pink blush gives to cheeks. Think bubble gum pinkm but with sparkles. When I put this color on my medium pink pigmented lips, I was suprised by how 'refreshed' I looked. Usually I tend to stay away from colors like Brilliant Blush, fearing a juvenile look. But all in all, I'm impressed by this shade. Like all Diamond Lip Treatments, this is sheer, so I won't be walking around with Barbie pink lips. Of course, the gloss itself is nice smelling and as long-lasting as other glosses I have tried. The brushes do tend to become splayed after many uses, but I feel this does not affect the products performance. All in all, I am happy with this shade and want to add more to the 4 I already own! I got this at Walgreens for 2/$3.99 during the week of March 27-April 2. [LLL/neutral skin tone/medium pink pigmented lips/light brown hair/green eyes]

I love these glosses, but was expecting this to appear peachier. This gloss goes on almost clear with just a touch of color. They wear very nicely, last a decent amount of time for a gloss, and no weird gunking up on the lips.

i love this line of lip glosses, but buyer beware that this particular shade looks clear on my slightly pigmented lips.
