Very flattering lip product! You do need to reapply kinda often, but it is worth it. Very beautiful, shimmery colors which look amazing in the summertime and especially on holidays! I find these in the Avon $1 bin, and I love that I never know what color it is until I open them. I'd recommend these if you want to build up a nice lipcolor collection. They are great pigmentation, too. My only problem is that they are somewhat sticky in the wind, but aren't all lipglosses?

I bought this recently online in Adoring Coral- on clearance for $1.99 (free shipping is the best!). It's okay but not nearly as pigmented as I had hoped... it basically looks like your standard clear sparkly gloss- on me, at least. I can imagine it'd look good on someone with deep brown skin, maybe. It lasts okay without drinking and other contact. I'd like to try the pink shade that everyone mentions in the comments below - if I catch it on sale again. One big plus is the reusable tube... The top screws right off and it'd be super easy to wash with a q-tip and refill! Other than the price my curiosity for that shade, I don't see a point to buy it again.

I have this in Naturally Nude and really like it. This lip clor looks great with a tan and I find it decently lasting and don't have to reapply so often.

I like it so much I bought 5 tubes! 2 in deep red and 3 in all other tones. I am an estee girl but their glosses are getting too expensive so I cheat once a while on alternatives. To be fair, this is no estee, but for the price USD1.80 each, who is complaining? It is thick and not very moisturising. I need a layer of balm before putting this on or a slight sweep of vaseline will do fine. It has no staying power like my estee but quite pretty for the price. I like the pen slim tube compared with the normal thick types. Unfortunately Avon has discontinued this. I am going to transfer the fat tubes into this pen tube once I finish the contents. The best part of it, the tube can be resued! Love it. Oh... the texture, deep red is quite pigmented and no lipstick is required for a nice ruby red color with lots of sparkles. The sparkles are not gritty, very pretty on my lips. The gloss is thicker than others and can be sticky on its own. I always wonder why Avon would discontinue their good products and repeat their weaker ones.

I really like this product - too bad that I don't see it on the website any longer (uh-oh.) Avon's method of deciding what to discontinue makes me wonder if they got bad advice on the Psychic Hotline.

I have Naturally Nude and Pink Pleasures (those names sound a racy in a bad way, but who cares right?!)

The good: The tube is narrow and feels a bit more elegant than the usual wider tube of gloss. It also fits well in a small purse or a pocket, in a pinch. The colors are absolutely amazing - the NatNude is a nice neutral with cinnamons/browns/touch of pink, and the PinkPleas is sort of a peppier version of that - it looks really scary pink in the tube but on the lips it's an almost neutral tone, with a pick-me-up hint of rose. The shimmer on these formulations is excellent, just enough to make it look shiny and a bit wet, without looking like you are a glitter gal. The scent is a nice subtle vanilla, which is more pleasant than bothersome.

The bad: The texture feels nice going on but does develop a marked stickiness/tackiness. The silver band near the top of tube can become unscrewed when you are trying to get the plastic top off the applicator. It's not a big issue once you get a feel for how to (and how not to) open it.

The verdict: I likey. May order more, if those wacky Avon execs haven't given it the axe.

I recently purchased two of these; Pink Pleasures and Berry Cool from the catalogue. I actually got Pink Pleasures by accident, because I thought I ordered Adoring Coral, but I apparently mixed up the codes. From the reviews here, I was scared to open Pink Pleasures from the packaging, but when I did.. I loved it! On my pigmented lips its a barely there extremely light shade of pink with sparkles. Its gorgeous! I think I like it even more than the berry one, because when I put that one on, it just darkens my lips a bit - not so much to look like I have on a lip colour, but like my lips are naturally darker but with sparkles.. I paid $1.99 for them which was a steal! I think the Adoring Coral is out of the catalogues for now, but I'll definitely be purchasing it, and trying other colours when I next see them!

This lipgloss looks pretty good when first applied, but when the gloss wears off, it leaves behind a lot of glitter on your lips. I find that extremely distasteful thus the low rating. Other than that, this lipgloss is pretty average.

I got this in adoring coral. Not a bad color but you can barely see it. These are VERY sheer. I like shimmery lip glosses but this had a little bit to much shimmer for me. It seemed to me to be a bit more frosted than normal lip gloss. It was on clearance for $1.99 so I'm not out much but I probably won't repurchase.

Amazing color with staying power from Avon. They taste good, smell good and you can often get them 2 for 1. They are normally priced at $7.00. The colors are multi-faceted and shimmery, they really reflect light. My favorite avon product yet.

I just purchase the lip radiance called "naturally nude". The texture reminds me cross between Mac lipglass and Mac tendertones...... I am surprised how much I like this baby. It is only $3.29....... Great bargain........ I am very pricy when comes to lipgloss......... I will be buying more colors.

I'm loving this gloss! I got Adoring Coral and it's a beautiful color. Looks wonderful with my Clinique Sugared Grapefruit. They're almost the same color. It had surprisingly good lasting power on my lips and I love the thin, little squeeze tube. It reminds me of Urban Decay Ultraglide lipgloss. These are always on sale since Avon always has markdowns. I definitely want to buy more colors.

I really liked the appearance of the tube from the picture in the catalog and couldn't help adding one more lipgloss to my already wide collection. I saw this same type of tube at Body Shop, which was, of course, much more expensive. Well, I am not sure who stole whose idea here, but that's not my problem. My problem is that I am not really all that satisfied with this product. The color that I chose, Berry Bliss, looks very deep and rich in the tube, but looks rather pale when applied. (Check out my before/after pic.) There is not enough saturation in color when I apply it to my lips. The texture isn't all that great either. I find it rather sticky feeling (especially initially when applied). And the color disappears rather quickly, even for a gloss. It has quite a bit of shine and shimmer, as promised by Avon, but not so much that you can't wear it daily. In fact, I wouldn't choose this gloss for an evening out since the color would not be strong enough to be seen at night and it would require frequent re-applications. Even though it says vanilla scented, I can't really smell anything, which is not a bad thing as sometimes smelly glosses can be overpowering. Overall, it is an OK gloss, but there are much better ones out there, especially if you want deep, bright colors from your gloss.

I purchased this in Naturally Nude because it was on sale for $4 and looked similar to my favorite Clinique buttershine in delovely. It is very glossy with coral shimmer in it. Plus it has a mild vanilla scent. For some reason this does not stay on my lips for more than an hour. It is not tacky and not very moisturizing. Clinique lip gloss lasts and lasts on me so I do not have to reapply so when you compare that to me having to constanly reapply this, I am not really saving any money by using the Avon product.

I got this in Pink Pleasures. I was expecting a cool, light pink with very fine shimmer, but what I got was a hot pink with large chunks of glitter. Not a lot of color shows up on my lips, and whatever is there is totally overshadowed by the big glitter pieces. Feels nice on the lips, but the look of having diamonds on my mouth is not a look I'm going for. I'll use it cause it's new and I like the package, but I won't repurchase.

I just received the Berry and nude/natural color. I was not impressed with the nude color at first-too glossy, too blah. The berry color is nice, pinky with silver sparkles, though. The color shows up a lot better with a lipliner (CG outlast) and I've tried regular powder under it and Maybelline Beach Plum blush as a base. This gives a natural pink-berry look. The main reason I wanted to review it is that it is very long lasting, even with eating and drinking. Iniltially a bit wears off but what is left lasts. I wanted the nude one to wear off and it didn't for hours. I don't really detect any scent when applying this and it is thick without being sticky. It is easy to apply another layer with no glop. It is also lip-plumping. Some glosses make my lips look thinner-reverse of the effect I want; this definitely adds to the shape.

Bought 4 different colors of these during an Avon campaign- the berry, red, pink, and natural. So far, I have tried both the berry and red colors and am somewhat undecided about them. The red color is gorgeous in the tube, but looks almost clownish on my fairly pale, cool toned skin. The berry looks a little more pinkish than berry color on my face, but it's okay. Both of these glosses are very, very shimmery, which I didn't really like, b/c I don't recall seeing that they were labeled as shimmer in the Avon catalog. They are also really thick and have a hint of vanilla scent to them that isn't overwhelming. I would definitely try before you buy if possible because the colors in the catalog look nothing like the colors when I got them. Packaging is cute, price is okay. I will keep trying these out and update if my opinion changes.

Nice gloss! I really like it - not too thin and not too thick. I have it in the natural nude shade. Good thing I saved my slip, because I don't see the name of the color ANYWHERE on the tube. Gives a nice pearlescent sheen and nice natural color. I definitely would buy again - for $3.99 you get a substantial tube.

This isn't a bad gloss, but it's not unique enough for me to spend $7 on it each time. I have the Naturally Nude shade & it is pretty, goes on sheer. Has a nice sparkle/shine. It's supposed to have a vanilla scent, but I don't smell anything. Overall, it's not bad, just kinda "eh" for me. I'll use it up for those no make-up days or for some extra gloss over my lipstick.

I have this in the Nude color and I think this gives a great amount of shine. I love the color and it goes great over lip liner. This is one of Avons best lip glosses.

I do like the packaging, reminds me of prescriptives custom gloss. The tube is easy and slim. I have the berry shade, it's beautiful on my lips. I can easily see this sold for more money and under a high end beauty brand. The shine is great, texture is smooth, and it hugs your lips but isn't sticky. I love all the shades too. Update: Come on, if this was from Dior it would be selling for an outrageous price! I don't mind the sparkle left behind, it's ultra small and never gritty. This is smooth and shiny, although I don't know if Avon still sells it.
