My sister did a Mary Kate makeup session for my bachelorette. We were about 10 girls with very different skin tone and everyone tried Sweet Raisin and EVERYONE look good wearing it!!! this coppery red lip gloss look very natural and have nice color payoff. So yes i gave 5 lippies because it a universal flattering color, but I was surprise to see how little the tube was.

I purchased this today at my dealer's open house. I really like it. The color looks good on me, I am a brunette with brown eyes and olive skin tone. It is a coppery reddish color. It is very moisterizing and seems to last pretty good for a gloss. However, I could do with a little less shimmer but all in all, it is a good product.

Sweet Raisin is a beautiful copper color, with reddish understones and a great shimmer. It is a great lip gloss for summer and spring. The lip gloss compliments my tanned skin and brings a warm, seductive glow to my lips. I love this product and I will definitely repurchase again and again!

A very pretty copper color with shimmer. Pleasant scent. It feels very good on my lips. loved wearing this in the summer when I was more tan, but now it does not look as good. i just apply it a little lighter. I will be buying another tube next summer.

Got a set of these glosses as a gift with purchase. First off, the formula is lovely - nice shine (more shimmery than shiny actually), pleasant vanilla fragrance, moisturizing feel. This is a pretty copper that looks absolutely lovely over other colors, though I wish it was a little more pigmented so I could wear it solo (I'm an MMM/GGG). Feels pleasant & looks nice when on. Not a must-have purchase but great to try it out!

I'm not sure if I'd buy this again - I like this color - it's a medium coppery brown/bronze with a nice coppery/gold shimmer. Great moisturizer. Lasts a good while. I like the packaging, though my goodness I wish they'd make the tube bigger for the $13 that I paid I'd hope to get more product. That's one of my major complaints about MK l/g. The want is the regular doe foot applicator. The texture is smooth, you can't feel the shimmer at all, and it's not sticky either. It's nice b/c un-sticky glosses don't usually last very long, and this stuff does. I think I changed my mind, I think I will buy this if I run out. : ) The scent of these is good, too, can't tell what it is but I like it. Subtle.

I'd run out of cream and sugar l/g and I wanted to try a different shade,so I picked this and hoped for the best having ordered from my consultant's website.
Sweet Raisin does look a bit scary/garish in the tube,but goes on light,sort of a neutral YLBB shade. I think the reviewer who described it as a rosy bronze was spot on.This shade is geared towards warm complexions imo-I've been wearing it on top of Bobbi Brown Clay lipstain for a bit of shine and moisture.
I haven't used a MK lipstick in ages so I don't know if they still have that perfumey taste/smell,but I can assure you the glosses do not-it is more of a subtle vanilla,similar to MAC.
Sweet Raisin retails for $13 and is .27 oz.

This is a lovely gloss with just the right touch of shimmer and a nice, slightly sugary taste. Sweet Raisin does appear sort of dark and even a little orange in the tube, but it goes on as a beautiful rosey bronze. It's a pretty thick gloss and I find it to be quite sticky compared to some others. But I would def repurchase!

I have pale skin and dirty blond hair, and this looks great on me!! I love wearing it in the fall it gives a great look. It's perfectly bronzed but natural. It's never sticky and light on your lips.

This is a great, sheer color that just adds a bit of "Umph!" to your lips when applied lightly! This looks very dark and weird in the tube, so it can be deceiving. I'm a PPP, neutral/cool and this is amazing on! For MK users who loved the DC Almond Glaze, this is very close to it (when applied lightly) with a tad more shimmer.

I received a sample of this from my husband's cousin, who sells Mary Kay. Texturewise, it is a typical gloss: sheer, moist, slightly sticky. Colorwise, it isn't quite what I expected: it is a sparkling muted reddish-brown shade and not at all purple. It also has a short-lived vanilla flavor that is pleasant enough, though I prefer my products unscented. The color is a tad too warm for my cool-toned skin, though it works fine when I wear red, but more importantly, I'm not a fan of sparkles or of sticky gloss that transfers unto everything, so this is not a product I would purchase.

In the tube, this looks a touch too dark, but just adds a nice shine & color to my lips--me but better :). It isn't goopy or sticky and doesn't have an overpowering scent. A very versatile color & gloss.

LOVE THIS GLOSS! I ordered the satin lips mask from a co-worker's wife to help with my very dry lips (love it too by the way) and she gave me a free sample of this gloss -- I will be making a purchase when my sample runs out. It's gives natural looking "oomph" to lips and is not sticky! I never thought I'd replace my tried and true Cargo gloss with anything, but I was quite impressed with this MK product!

This is one of the new shades MK has out with the new Nouri-shine formula. Sweet raisin is kind of a YLBB shade. Beautiful shimmer and color. Very wearable for anyone I would bet. It looks a tad dark in the tube but since it is a sheer shade even I can wear it(I am VERY fair). In my opinion the quality and color rival Chanel's Glossimers but at a much more affordable price. Love the smaller, fatter tube too.
