Bought a set in the duty free: Nice package and price for the set (5 double-side lip glosses --> 10 different colors)
The color is really nice. BUT!
I am very disappointed with quality: sticky, difficult to apply (especially if you want to apply it above the lipstick), makes my lips chapped, doesn't feel nice... moreover in couple hours I will have a white stripe on my underlip (never happens with any other lip gloss)...

I bought this in a pack at the airport. The colors look great both in the tube and on my lips. But I found this gloss hard to wear....I've never actually come across a lip gloss that was so sticky that I couldn't stop pursing my lips cos it just felt uncomfy. But since they looked so nice I decided to tolerate them. I wore them to office for a day and ended up with very chapped lips at the end of the day. How this is possible when I'm wearing lip gloss is beyond me. Thought it's supposed to be moisturizing. I had to recover my lips with Vaseline lip balm for a few days before they went back to normal.

I got an airport mini 6 pack, double ended so I have 12 colours and I must say I like them but I don't love them:

- The are pretty sheer (many of them look like transparent gloss when you put them on) and only the draker colours show a bit on the lips.
- a bit sticky
- quite long lasting compared to drugstore lipglosses
- very glossy and make lips look delicious :)

I have this in "Camisole," which is a pretty, muted peachy-pink with shimmer, very similar in color to the Buttershine lipstick in Poppy Love. (If the Buttershines weren't so glossy on their own, it would be a great lipstick/gloss combo, but you don't need a gloss with the Buttershines.) It's pretty sticky, although that does help with staying power. The thickness is probably where the "plumping" comes in, filling in some of the lines of your lips and making them appear smoother. It's also quite shimmery, which can add to that effect. It's a decent everyday color and it's fine as a gloss, but I have others whose texture and color I like better. I'll finish out this tube and wouldn't say "never" to other glosses in this line, but I won't rush into repurchasing.

Went to the Clinique counter for the Passport to Pretty promotional event. I didn't plan on buying anything, jsut playing around, but ended up with this gloss. I think I have a new favorite!


I bought this gloss in Voluptuous Violet. Its a sheer/moderate coverage dark berry/plum shade with a tiny bit of shimmer that looks great with a fair complexion and my darkly pigmented lip color. The gloss itself is VERY think, almost a serum-type consistency, that is tacky, so it sticks great to my lips and lasts for freaking ever. It stayed on for almost six hours, through meals, before I felt like I needed to reapply.


As for plumping, even the MUA said she didn't really think it plumped, per se, but that the shine definitely makes your lips look bigger, and the thickness fills in lip wrinkles, which I have to agree with. I got no burning sensation at all, which is awesome, because I HATE that about plumping glosses. The only acceptable sensation I will tolerate is a minty feeling, like Buxom glosses, my #1 favorite.


Overall a surprise fav. of mine that will certainly purchase again.

I am having a love affair with this lip gloss. I have Mimosa Blossom and it looks AMAZING on me, lasts well, and is only sticky right when it goes on, but thins out from body heat.

I love it.

i got a 6 pack, double ended for xmas one year. cost me $40 and was super impressed with them and the colours! they are super glossy, sticky and stay on for ages! pigment is very slight but to me its perfect, i am not a fan of lipstick. Lipgloss only! the 6 colours i got were so nice, neutral, pink and plummy :)

I love these lip glosses! Although they aren't that plumping they do give the "plump" look to your lips due to the texture. I love sticky lip glosses as I find that they are the ones that really work and gives me a long lasting shine. The colors are very sheer so if you want more color, keep in mind that these have hardly any pigment. This is the lip gloss that my lips look the best in, will buy again :)

I am not sure this does much for plumping (you can feel tingling when you put it on) but I do like the texture - it's stick and lasts a looong time.

Most of the shades are very sheer, so don't be afraid to reach for the darker ones - the blackberry bloom shade comes very close to black honey in my opinion.

I'd repurchase this based on formula, but would prefer the shades be more opaque. As for lip plumping, nay.

Second favourite lip gloss ever [first being Clinique Long Last Gloss Wear in Air Kiss, see my profile for review =) ].
I got it as part of a free gift from spending over a certain amount of money.
Your ment to feel a small tingling sensation but i didn't however it stil plumped up my lips.
The colour sugar berry i think it was called, or something of the sort, was a really nice colour that suited my skin tone and hair.
Would buy it again if it wasn't so pricey.
I thought the stickiness was fine for me and it made it stay on longer than most plumping lip glosses.

I have this product in Blackberry Bloom, a sample size I got in one of their gifts. I would prefer if it were in a squeeze tube, not a wand. But it doesn't really matter because either way the product is so sticky that it's uncomfortable to wear. It looks great when first applied but the stickiness makes me lick this gloss off within a half hour. The pigmentation is great, I love the color, but I'm glad I didn't spend money on this.

I got a sample of this gloss in sugarplump when my sister gave me her free gifts when she bought a brush set from clinique. I hardly ever purchase items that I started using as a free gift but I love this gloss! I would definitely purchase it alone. I love the color especially. I don't think it did a whole lot for plumping though and it is kind of sticky so I like wiping a little bit of Smith's rosebud salve over it. Overall, great lip product.

The only think I actually like about this lip gloss is the color. Other than the color everything else is very disappointing. I don't mind the wand applicator much, but I always fine the squeeze tubes much more convenient to apply. The formula was very sticky and very uncomfortable to wear. It made my lips feel dry and peel. I don't have dry lips and rub off any dry skin with a toothbrush before using this. Even with that it still made my lips peel. For the price of this lip gloss it was not worth it at all.

Though I love the colors, this gloss is too sticky for my liking. I wore it on 4 or 5 occasions and ended up wiping it off every time. Plus, it didn't "plump" at all. For $17.50, I'd expect more. I definitely won’t be repurchasing.

i really like these glosses! they aren't SO sticky that i can't function properly. plus that texture helps them stay on. i have this product in crushed opal, beach bunny, and mimosa blossom, and i think it's my favorite gloss just for the texture and colors. i didn't know people had bad reactions to them til i started reading the reviews on MUA. i didn't experience any burning/stinging/etc. in fact i didn't even feel any tingling like i do w/ other plumping products.

the reasons i am giving it a 4 is because:

1) they don't plump. if they don't plump then i don't think they should be marketed that way. they do give lips a smoother appearance, but DO NOT PLUMP!
2) no spf. i know clinique makes their glosswear for lips with spf, but i personally don't like those as much as these.
3) very small tube compared to clinique's other gloss. come on!!
4) expensive for the amount you get! a little tube of this costs $17.50 while the much bigger tube of glosswear for lips with spf costs $14.00! that makes no sense!

however like i said, i do really like this product and will continue to buy it. definitely one of my favorites...now clinique, are you listening? make the tube bigger and add spf! lolll....

I got this as a free sample. It's a creamy gloss that feels very smooth on the lips. It didn't do that tingling/burning thing that most plumpers do to make your lips swell. I actually didn't even know it was a plumper until I looked at the tube after using it a few times, because it's just like a regular gloss. It's a very nice gloss, but I wouldn't recommend it for plumping.

Moisturizing? Yes. Plumping? No. Not even a little bit. This stuff is extremely sticky and thick! So much that I will never use this again. I'm sticking (hah hah) to NARS.

Love this stuff! Just sticky enough to last...great colour and shine. I wish the writing didn't wear off the tube so easily...makes the packaging look cheap.

I have the gift set that came out at Christmas time- 3 duos luscious/bloomberry, glamourful/mimosa blossom and voluptuous vioet/sugar-full. At first I loved them but now I'm pretty much over it. I still use them sometimes though because they're not terrible, I just have better glosses. The colours are nice (I don't like really sheer glosses) too. In terms of plumping I didn't notice any difference and don't think it does that. They are a little sticky but not as bad as some other glosses I have used in the past. Long wearing? No, not really. And they did fade into "gloompy" lines on the inner rims of my mouth. But not as bad as some other glosses I suppose. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Maybe in another gift set ;) I don't mind them, they're fun colours and look cute on but they are no match for my current fave gloss and I would rather spend my money on every colour of my favourite =)
