I got this in Pink Alternative as a gift from a family friend.

I used it and its all empty =O

It was like my most used lip gloss for a couple of months until it ran out.

I like the shimmery colour, its not overpowering, but its nice.

I like how it stays on as well, like really good. Its an easy application as well.

I can't wait to get more of this stuff.

I'm all for eye candy and this is it. Every time I pull this out every one looks and says, where is that from. I so far have bought 4 colors and the two that I have left, and yes even I'm surprised I used up two already, are 510 which is a hot pink and a 740 that's a coffee brown. I admit that they don't taste wonderful they have a very lite taste perfume. But I love the medium to light coverage and the shine is to die for. They cost about 7 bucks and I don't know if they're still in stores Its been about a year that I bought all four. I hope they still got them because I'm going back for more

I got this lipgloss free and it is rubbish (sorry if I offend people who love this lipgloss, but it just doesn't work for me)

The colour doesn't show up on my lips and doesn't last any lenght at all' - the longest it has lasted is 10 min (without drinking or eating anything!)

I do like the packaging as it is stays nicer and doesnt get all sticky

I wouldn't repurchase this product again.

Great quality d/s gloss! I have this is #130 Candy Desire and in a frosty baby pink color. Both provide a nice light wash of color. Candy Desire reminds me a lot of Smashbox's "Beauty" Lip Enhancing Gloss! Excellent packaging! A righteous buy :)!

I love this gloss and the colours that it comes in. I have the colour 522 rose star, it is a very pretty light pink. the gloss stays on a long time. the packaging is really nice. the only downside is that there isn't much product in the package.

I picked up two of these (130 and 310) from the clearance bin at Target. They were less than $2 each, but I feel it was money wasted. The color is sheer, and the scent is annoyingly sweet. The gloss itself doesn't wear long, and I have noticed it bleeding around my lips. I would not repurchase.

I love this tube-y thing it comes in. I hate those stupid brushes and/or sponge tips that you have to dip in to the tube. It's so yucky and messy. The click option is so much cleaner and less wasteful. Also the colors all turn out perfect and light like a lip gloss should be. :)

Personally, I love this product. I even didn't mind paying the full price for them before they were discontinued. I was very happy to discover a couple at my local Dollar Tree, and then a stocked up on other colors through Ebay. I'm not huge into lip gloss, but I think the shine gives my lips the perfect glossy plump appeal I go for. There is a watermelon like taste, but I don't mind it.
Particularly, I always get compliments when I wear the Ruby Spell shade which I find to be very pigmented.

i wouldn't repurchase this because, in comparison with volume xl, this one doesn't give the plumping effect...

also, the price is not too low (here in sweden) for the ridiculously small amount of product. my first one was gone in two weeks...

as for pros, i have this in 534 pink vibration, a very nice dark bubblegum pink with fuchsia undertones, love the color and the texture. i've had this in Pink seduction as well, but because of a regular use, that one finished in two weeks or so...
consistency-very creamy, not sticky at all, glides on the lips, you can add just a little for a hint of color or go with the full coat for a great effect. back in summer when i purchased this i remember they had quite a good selection of colors, from baby pink to dark fuchsia, lots of beige, so on and so forth.

it is a good product meaning it does its job as a lipgloss. i like the packaging, very handy, i even like the fact that it doesnt have a sponge applicator that doesnt get soaked in product...
however, i totally dislike the quantity, very very little, and the price. i paid more than 10 euros for this, almost 13 i think (130 swedish crowns or so) and i remember i purchased this only for the color. cheaper lipglosses don't have such a large selection of colors. so i will stick with the one that i already have, still got a lot of it because i don't use it quite often, and because the color is intense and pigmented i use it as a sort of 'lip pigmented base'- i add a little of this and then combine it with similar lip liners and light pink lipgloss from other brands to achieve the perfect everyday pink.
i very rarely wear this alone, when i feel like being jazzy or something. it is not a color one would wear every day, with every outfit.

I owned this lipgloss a while ago and I don't even remember what colour I had. It was darker than pink...maybe plum? anyway, I remember not being very impressed with it at all. The colour was pretty, but it didn't last very long and it dried out my lips like crazy! the smell was also horrible and the applicator leaked in my bag more than once.

I have this gloss in #610. Not sure of the exact name but it is a light brown with a slight shimmery gold undertone to it and it does have some gold flecks in it..tiny ones. It is very pretty. I also purchased this at my local Dollar Tree store and think it is a great buy for the quality of this product. Although the pigmentation isn't great, I think that is what makes it so "wearable" with pretty much any makeup you have on that day. It gives a slight tint to the lips while leaving them super glossy and sexy looking and on top of that, it is so moisturizing! How can anyone go wrong with that? I would buy this product agian, infact I have purchased it a couple times already for some friends who dearly love it as well.

Again another product that has been discontinued and guess where it went? The Dollar Tree ;) I think retail price was 6 or 7 dollars, but I was never gunna shell that out for a lipgloss bc I go threw them so quickly. So I bought one at the DT and I was disappointed that it has such little pigment but impressed on how moisturizing this lipgloss it. So I went back and bought 3 more and it's really hit or miss with the pigmentation. But alas, I am super happy with this find at the DT :)

I personally think that this gloss is in between the shine of a lip gloss and the color payoff of a lipstick, which is great.

I think its just me, but I think this gloss is sticky!
fyi, i've never had a gloss which isn't sticky, so except for this sticky thing, i like it!

I also got this on clearance sale and like the previous reviewer I got this in 130 Pink Seduction. It looks mauvey-pink with gold shimmer in it. I actually quite like the shade! The golden shimmer is tiny and just adds dimension rather than standing out by itself. I have farely pigmented lips and it looks stunning on me. It is sheer but definitely adds a tint to my lips turning them into cool toned pink colour. It applies very evenly on lips and generally isn't bad quality. It also delivers a great shine. The watermelon aroma is quite strong and you can kind of taste it in your mouth for a while but it doesn't bother me as much.

My other shade of this gloss from a clearance sale is Ivory Star (560/608). The shimmer here stands out a lot more. The shade is shimmery beige which won't be flattering for a whole lot of people. I can only wear it with brown eye shadow and some nude blush. It is also very difficult to apply. You have to do a lot of blending as it is very streaky at first. After a couple of minutes it kind of sets and looks more even. I doesn't have much shine. I don't recommend this shade!

I do like the click pen packaging, the silver stayed put with me but I find it to be a farely small amount of gloss compared to other brands that just never seem to run out. This is only the second gloss I am finishing even though I hardly ever applied it (I have a huge stash of glosses and was using all the other ones for a while). I wish they put in more product.

I won't repurchase, however, because they test on animals (I only discovered after the purchase). That is the reason I took off 2 lippies. I think there are plenty of cruelty-free alternatives out there for me!

I have this gloss in 710. Its a nice natural color with shine and shimmer. It looks really good on my lips but it wears off fast. The packaging isn't the best, I find that my cap can get pretty messy.

I love how this gloss feels on my lips...not super sticky but smooth and emollient. Delivers really nice shine. Only problem is they really don't give u a lot (it's d/s, what did I expect) and the color pay off is a bit too sheer for me...I think they have other colors that prob deliver more color/similar types in this brand.

I got this in Pink Alternative on sale. This shade is like a shell pink leaning towards beige and has some shimmer. I really like it. It is one of the few nude shades that actually suit me. (NC20 here). But I have decided I don't like the packaging... I feel like I have no control over how much product comes out. I much prefer a doe foot wand applicator! On the other hand, it's a great gloss - non sticky, kind to lips and lasts a couple of hours. So I've rated this a 4 and said I won't repurchase although if I see a nice shade and it's on clearance, maybe I'll pick another one up. :-)

~ I was wanting to try a new pink lipgloss since for some insane reason I could not find one in my makeup bad (I have a few Beauty Rush glosses, but I like using them alone- not over lipstick) anywho I ventured out today and went straight to the Maybelline section to see what they had, and these where on sale for only $4.50 which is pretty darn amazing because these where nearly $10 a pop when they first came out. I purchased the lightest pink shade which reminded me of Underage by MAC (which was soo sticky and goopy) and I decided to try it- and I''m glad I did =) I used this over MAC myth and the two together give me baby pink lips with a huge amount of shine, something I Love (my makeup is mostly Matte, so I like making my lips pop, and I dig those porn star pouty lips) .......I cannot wait to try a few more of these glosses, many of the colors look quite divine...and for the price I will totally splurge on these! These come in a retractable packaing which I find a tad annoying since its hard to blend, but a lip brush can fix that- but that can get annoying of course- if applied straight to the lips, its slightly sheer with a hint of pink sheen and it has alight sweet scent. I just adore this :P ~

i love this gloss, non-sticky pigmented and no chemical,or artifical scent or taste. i hate the twist thing though....too much product gets wasted that way and for that reason i won't buy again.
