I adore the color of this gloss! Unlike Coy and Dreamer, Pixie went on evenly. It is a very pretty pinkish nude shade. My only complaint is the stickiness, I would buy it again if my hair didn't stick to it constantly.

Color: peachy, brown nude with shimmer
Texture: creamy

Some people say it's drying, but I think it's ok...not too drying...I also happen to find one with slant tip application..not round...which is much better...I have total of 3, this one and precious (slanted) and adoring (rounded, which makes it harder to apply)...I would buy again only if it's a bogo deal & I can find another slant tip...it's kinda pricy for drugstore...for full price, I can just pay a few more bucks & get MAC lip gelee

i adore this gloss.... perfect when i have no idea what to put on my lips... on me its MLBB, perefct pinky beigy gold... right amount of shimmer and lasts! i love these glosses because they are so pigmented. the texture is a bit sticky, but personally, i like that feeling... dont ask why, i guess its just because it feels like it is actually going to stay on my lips and not slip off. best ds lipgloss i have tried, i use this color almost everyday!

This is a pretty average gloss. I got it for about 4 bucks on clearance at Target. I really like the caramel smell, it's so yummy. There really isn't much color at all to this. It's like a slight beige with lots of shimmer. I like the shimmer, it's not gritty and there's a lot of it. It's on the sticky side but it comes off after a few hours or when I eat. Overall, I like this and I'd buy again if they were really marked down in price.

Edit- I've been using this in the morning before school now and I'm really impressed by the staying power-it lasts for about five hours! This is definitely one of my favorite lip glosses now.

I got this on clearance at Walgreens for about $2.50. It's a lovely shade of warm peachy bronze. The tube I have has a round plastic applicator; some others I bought have one that is slanted. It's a little on the thick side, but only a little comes out at a time, so it doesn't look gooey. The smell and taste aren't very good, though. Smells/tastes like plastic...but still I really like this line and will buy again as long as it's on sale.

FINALLY!! I have found my nude gloss without all the milky coloring!! I bought this just to try out the HIP glosses as I am not a big gloss fan. I wasn't expecting much with this. It looked so metallic-like and I was worried it'd look too much like a layer that can get uneven. I'm more of a e/s gal; I prefer to make my eyes stand out as I do not exactly have the best shaped lips. The actual color in the tube is more of a pinky-rose with a slight peach to it (not much to even call it peach) with a gold shimmer. As soon as I put it on my lips I automatically got that very pretty pink natural lip color. I have never been able to achieve that as I have mauvey-pinkish-brown lips. They're very uneven colored and this just completely counteracted my lip color!!! It gave them a rosy natural look with a very light hint of gold that worked beautifully with my complexion. I automatically went and bought another one (BOGO)! This is by far the best lipgloss for me colorwise. It is really thick which I really didn't like but I don't mind it now that I have actually found the perfect color! It does moisturizer my lips really well and doesn't dry them out at all. It last a pretty good time as well as far as lipglosses go. The only thing I really did not care for was the scent. It was sweet in a caramel kinda way and I hated that but its not overpowering. I will definitely buy this again and again as I have never found any other color that gives me this beautiful natural pink to my lips.

Love it but the smell of candy is a bit overpowering. The color comes up as a perfect peachy nude but it does dry my lips out. I moved on to something better - Chanel Glossimers! Amazing! Loreal's HIP is cute and great for temporary daily use but not the holy grail of gloss for me.

very pretty bronzy shade. it's a bit too much for me right now with my winter time pale kicking...but i'm looking forward to using it in the summer with a nice tan - i think it will be a very nice natural looking gloss.

I like the color - looks like it's going to be much more shimmery than it shows up on lips - makes a lovely creamy looking shine in a warm pinky brown-but it's nto a rich color - very wearable. It neutralizes the bluish/plum undertone of my highly pigmented lips so I have a soft nude.
It smells wonderful.
Why the low rating?
I really hate the packaging. the lid is unreliable, and the round tip makes it difficult to apply-which is all the more difficult considering this is a thick product.
Also, despite it's creaminess, it dries out my lips terribly :(
I want to love ya baby, I just cant.

I really like this gloss. I have so many of these, it would be crazy if I ever finished one! Anyway, pixie is a great caramely-pinky nude color. It's really pretty and it's also shimmery in a subtle way. This smells like caramel and I want to eat it! Why do L'Oreal's lip glosses smell so good and their lipsticks so bad? Anyway, this is a great subtle color, but shows up pretty sheer. I would not compare it to Passion Fruit Squeeze, but I love both in their own ways.

This is ok, but I prefer Lancome Juicy Tubes, even though these smell really nice. This gloss smells like carmel and cream. It's a fairly nice color but not quite right for my skin tone. It's somewhat opaque beigey brownish pink with a little shimmer. It's nice but seems to dry out my lips a bit, though not as bad as other cheap brands. Lancome is good, it's better than a balm, and they have colors with more shimmer.

This is a great lipgloss it''s not sticky and it really moisturizes your lips. It looks metallic beige in the tube but it's pretty sheer and not "too much"

I'm a NC44 (black/latina) and this did not show up on me at all. It was like wearing a clear shine lipgloss.

Love this gloss. My only complaint is that although it looks a little different in the packaging, when applied it's a twin to CJ Passion Fruit. Although I already have Passion Fruit I'm keeping this one too, because I love the caramel smell of Pixie and I wear them both so much I'll probably run out soon. The color on is a light browny-pinky-mauvey color...very, very pretty.

Just bought this last night and so far I am very pleased. The gloss is pretty thick, has a wonderful smell and it also seems to have some lasting power. The color is slightly peachy with a bit of gold but not at all overwhelming. I am not a lipstick person at all so I am always on the hunt for a good gloss that is pretty transparent with just a hint of color. This one fits the bill. Would buy again :-)

I really love this gloss. There is a ncie thickness and texture to this, with a very high shine. It doesn't have quite as much pigment as I thought it might, due to it being a HIP product. However, the color is beige with a slight aprocit undertone and some gold shimmer. It wears for a long time, and comes in the same packaging as a regular clear lip glass from Mac. I would definitely buy this again and can see using up the whole tube because the color ius incredibly versatile, MLBB.

First of all, I won this on eBay so I cannot really comment accurately on the price. The major negative for me was the application....this needs work L'Oreal!! It smells great. The color is not as pigmented as I would have liked (especially for being a HIP product). I would probably buy it again, it is a decent nude, shimmery gloss.

Pretty peach-pink gloss that's relatively long-lasting for a gloss. Thicker and a bit sticker than other glosses, but I don't mind. Has a faint vanilla-caramel smell. Took one lippie off b/c of the poor packing with the rounded tip-- at retail value of $7-9, need to have a slanted tip for better precision of application. Love these lip glosses-- I have 4 colors so far which work for my skin tone. Will most likely re-purchase pixie and try other colors.
