I was a little intimidated by the bright blue gloss, but when applied it comes out clear and shiny. It's great for those like me who are self conscious about their breath throughout the day. Good for over lipsticks too.

I personally really like mint lip gloss because they provide me with a fresh scent allows me to smile without smelling my own breath. So when I saw this, I bought it without hesitation because I knew I could hardly find any menthol lipglosses. This gloss applies smoothly with shine. Although they could do more if the brush could be bigger to apply more instead of pumping it back for more product every time. The sleek design makes it very pretty. It makes my lips glossy and shiny with the menthol taste that I really like. I personally do like this lip gloss.

This is a very nice clear gloss. it feels as if you have a very fresh an minty breath. it stays on for a long time because it sticks quite alot. I like that but if you don't I wouldn't buy this product. I think it is a great fresh clear gloss. altough it looks blue in the bottle it is clear on your lips. it also has a nice brush applicator

I was lucky enough to get a mini size of this for 50p lucky coz i hate it!
Its horrible, so sticky and annoying, the slightest breeze gets your hair stuck in your lips. The flavour is nice and tingly but literally lasts 10 minutes.
Complete waste of money.

Sure - if you happen to smell my lips, you'll get that fresh, minty-gum smell. But freshening my breath? Hardly.




The packaging's got this great, toothpaste-tube shade thing going - it just looks like it would be refreshing for the lips. But the product in itself is so, so sticky. The cool, menthol feeling lasts about ten minutes for me, and then it's gone. That thick, glassy appearance I usually get from Lancome's Juicy Tubes, Clinique's Superbalm, and MAC's Lipglass is easily obtained from this too, but it doesn't last nearly as long as the other three. I made the mistake of wearing this on a somewhat windy day, and I spent many a minute peeling strands of hair from my lips. $18 CDN. Not worth it.

I have a love hate relationship with this lipgloss,
Menthol is the flavour, and its wonderfuly tingly on!
The shine from this gloss is almost thenonimal also!, But one thing i really hate about this gloss. as ITS SOOOO sticky, Like really sticky & i wish i used the testers on my wrist before i purchased it. The price is quite a bit more than what i would have paid for it (if i had it my way lol).
I brought this in london. it cost around £6-£7 i cant remember now.
I think its a OK-AY product al round. if you can soar past the price and the stickiness. (its a hair glue kinda sticky)

this lipgloss is perfect if you want glossy, shiny and noticable lips. i like the menthol effect it has too, especially when im out in the cold i can really feel the tingly cool sensation on my lips. however, this gloss does not give me fresh breath at all

I tried this gloss from a friend, because I was curious about the minty effect.
I tried it both over a lipstick (kiss kiss extreme in red) and it makes it glossy and shiny and, even with a base, you can feel the cold effect on lips and while you breath.
Applied alone it's even stronger, but I don't like teh blueish effect on lips. the cold sensation is more interesting as a plumping effect, rather than fresh breathing ( I'd wash my teeth or eat a mint, instead than using a gloss).
But for once in a while it's a funny sensation. Avoid if you have very dry, chapped lips.

I bought the smaller version, the one you can put as a cell phone charm. It's real cute and cost about 10 dollars. Now if you have normal lips this is the product for you. Like one review said it's not peppermint but menthol, so when you breathe, it acts as a breath refresher. BUT if your lips are dry like mine, this buuurrrrnnnnsss. So for winter time when lips get chapped and if you already have dry lips, avoid at all cost. (p.s I know it's dumb to try this on dry lips but I had chapstick under this and it just didn't work)

amazing flavor. really freshens breath, but only slightly whitens teeth. but it is only a lip-gloss, so what do you expect? got it for 10 us dollars or 5 pounds at boots chemist in London.

Following the hype surrounding blue lipgloss thanks to Kevyn Aucoin, Dior, and Bliss (California Kissing), when I had to give it a try with Bourjois Menthol gloss in the mini-bourjois handphone charm size. I love it! I may go back and buy the full sized gloss if I can decant it into the smaller, portable charm (it's just so practical on the go).
The gloss doesn't smell strongly at first, but when on has a subtle, refreshing methol - not peppermint - scent. The tingly feeling lasts and adds to the refreshing fun.
Now the blue tint, Kevyn Aucoin swore by it to make teeth appear whiter, and for a glassy, glossy transparent look. If you're a warm girl, this may not be for you, but don't worry it'll turn your lips blue, it won't. It just creates an effect. Over red lipstain, or this season's nude lippies it really gives your lips that translucent glossy look they achieve in magazines.

I don't know if this product is available in the US but it is in Europe so here is my review.



So this gloss is transparent blue in colour and has a minty fresh smell.

Since I love mint in all forms I had to buy this... although it smells delicious, leaves a nice tingling feeling on the lips and shines nicely I'm a bit decieved as it also leaves a slight blue tint on the lips... not very sexy IMHO...

I won't be repurchasing
