This is absolutely one of my favorite glosses. Just enough shimmer and the color is fantastic. I generally don't wear a lot of pinky reds but this one compliments most of the looks I wear on a daily basis.

My only issue is that I prefer something with a bit more gloss but, other than that this is in my top ten as far as color, shimmer, packaging and price.

I bought this 3 years ago, maybe longer, but started using it much more lately with my Too Faced "Plaything of Passion" palette. It's a beautiful red with a tiny bit of gold shimmer, smells like apple and lasts a long time. Too bad they discontinued the Lip Gunk line, but I hope to find something similar from Urban Decay. The only trouble there is, is that it needs to be closed tightly, and then wiped off with some tissue, since the package is not very lip-gloss-proof. Otherwise, a real dream red lip gloss.

It's really hard for me to find something that's juuuust right when I want to go above and beyond "natural", but this shade does it for me! It's a bright, classic red, but not obnoxious like Kiss where if you get any on you, it'll stain (kinda like Kool-Aide...). I love Lip Gunk's texture because it's thick and sticky without it being annoying. I have nothing but praise for the flavor of Tart as well. :) Tastes like apple pie to me!

I -LOVE- this shade and am stock piling it so that I won't be heartbroken if I were to lose the one I carry in my purse.

Pros for this one are that its a really flattering, not too opaque shade, a mid-tone reddish color with slight golden shimmer. The cons are that the packaging has a tendency to leak (all over my purse, thank you!), the shade moves around on your lips, leaving streaking or clumping, and that the texture seems to get thicker the longer you're wearing it. Now I like a thick gloss, but not when you feel like your lips are going to get stuck together! Gorgeous shade though, maybe I just got an old one. Oh another pro is the scent, a super fresh granny apple!

Wow, what a gorgeous deep shimmery red. This reminds me of Revlon's Get Reddy lipgloss except that it's a little more blue-based and the gold shimmer is more obvious. It leaves a nice stain as it wears off, which is always a plus. This looks great on my cool, pale skin, but it might be a little too "vamp" for daytime. Smells/tastes like berries dipped in honey.

This is a great gloss for people that want a red shade that is not too overpowering. This is the perfect shade of red, slightly sheer, not too purple, not too orange. It is very shiny, lasts a long time, and smells great!

Tart is a less intense version of Kiss lipgunk. It's more sheer. If I go over my lips once with it, it adds a little color and glossiness (my lips need a thicker coat to get the real color). That's what I like about this color. It's not as loud as Kiss and is more versatile. It also tastes good (ah, but so does Kiss). =)

RIS from an adorable swapper. Red lip glosses usually look terrible on me, but wow! This is awesome! I love the smell and the taste and it just makes me feel so much more dressier and glamorous when I wear it. I will definitely buy again!

This shade is a very glam red with a ton of shine. Fairly stick, but long-lasting enough to survive dinner and drinks.

I love this lip gloss! Tart is a dark red gloss with fine microshimmer. It is sticky, but this results in incredible staying power, through eating, drinking and teaching two classes. I prefer it to Spark, which is similar in color but has less endurance. Tart's scent is a little odd (I believe the website describes it as gingered or candied apple), but I've come to like it. Much cheaper than Spark, too--give it a try!

this is as close to red I'll get for lips. It is a very pretty and slightly glittery bluish red. Looks great even with my pale pale skin tone. Taste is ok too.

This is my favorite UD lip gunk, and I like a lot of them. It is a true red, semi-opaque on me (I layer it a bit). It's nice and glossy and I feel like a glamour queen when I wear this. It has a tacky, gooey consistency and lasts a long time. The taste is yummy, but to me it's more like a cinnamon-apple than a candy apple flavor and smell, which is fine because it's still yummy to me. I plan to buy this again and again.

I received Urban Decay Lip Gunk in Tart in a mini lip gunk set as a gift which included Hotpants, Litter, Asphyxia, Tart and Paranoid. Tart is a beautiful red color with gold glitter that looks insanely scary in the tube (as most UD lipgunks do) but applies to make lips juicy, bitten and making you look like a sex-kitten. Sometimes when I think this looks too intense for day, I apply and then blot with a tissue yet the beautiful red color remains but subtly. I love this!!

Ehh. I had high hopes for Tart, since the website swatch makes it look like it has orange undertones, which I can wear. Blue undertones, I can't. Guess which this actually turned out having? I can still wear it because it's sheer, but I can't say it's my favorite red and I'm definitely not nuts about the scent (seems a little synthetic and chemical-ish, though not completely terrible). The slight shimmer is nice, but I don't think I would purchase or trade for this shade again. I do like other lipgunks, but it's pretty much hit and miss as far as what color you're actually going to get if you're going by the website's terribly inaccurate swatches. I got this in a mini size, so I don't feel too gipped about it.

I LOVE the UD lip gunks, and this one is no exception. However, while it looks red in the tube, it turns bright pink on me. Like a dark raspberry shade. Which isn't bad, in fact it's a nice shade, but it's just not red like I was expecting. However, I have some kind of weird body chemistry that turns a LOT of high-end reds pink, for some reason. It's a problem. Anyway -- this is a great gloss.

I received this gloss in the Flaming 5 Lip Gunk Set. It is a relatively small tube with a little teeny sponge applicator. The smell was a little disconcerting; it seemed a little plasticy for my taste. When I put it on, it left a nice sheer red shine on my lips. I tasted it and it was sweet and apple-y (is that even a word?). I felt a bit brave so I put some more on until my lips were a fire engine red. Needless to say, I felt really sexy, but it made me look like I drank a huge tub full of red Kool-Aid. I'm glad I have a small tube of it. I don't use it enough to buy the full size version.

I absolutely adore this color. I purchased Maybelline Liquid Diamonds gloss in Eternal Flame and wanted to find a higher end version of it and this is pretty close. It's a sheer true red with a gold sheen. My only complaint is that the flavor resembles toxic sludge more than it resembles 'cinnamon apple'. Still, the look you get from it its worth the funky taste.

This lip gunk looks like natural lips but MUCH better. Unfortunatly Sephora does not carry this color solo. I have it in a face case and love it. When I have used it up I am sure I will buy it again from the UD website. LOVE THIS!
