I go to this more often than any of my other glosses and lip colors. It actually never leaves my purse. It is a sheer gloss with a bit of a bronze shimmer. The only con I have with this is the fact it comes in a tin. I hate tin glosses because I don't care to put my glosses on with a finger. I didn't take off a lippie for this because the tin in no way makes it less of a good product.

Nasty smell, poor consistency, sticky not slippery. Will not be purchasing this again, and will probably not finish the tub. Terrible to get open; can't take it anywhere!

Update: found this again. Why didn't I throw this out? Eugh, UTTER TRASH.

I will buy this balm until they stop making it. Why? It's inexpensive. You get a good size pan of it. And the product is excellent.

It does not have a waxy consistency but more like vaseline. It instantly softens the lips, gives them shine without the gooey feeling and it lasts a decent amount of time on the lips. Even when it wears off somewhat it still leaves the lips soft.

So why not just use plain vaseline? Because of the pigment! This one is a shimmery natural bronze. I also have Plum Shimmer which is, what else, plummy natural shimmer. The Shell Shimmer is pink opal and great for putting over lipstick or by itself if you want neutral lips.

The only downside to this product is the darn tin it comes in. They're cute, they're portable, but try and get the lid off without major stress! I mean mark, keep the tin but make the lid user friendly, that's all I ask.

Nonetheless, it's the best darn stuff I have ever used on my lips.

This is absolute perfection for when I want a natural makeup look without the fuss of lipstick and without the colorless feeling of a plain balm. This is a very natural, glossy, and thick balm with a beautiful beige/bronze touch of color. It also smells wonderful a little bit like roses and herbs. This is a soothing lip balm that is addictive and could be used every day.

I *love* this balm! Very moisturizing, no taste, beautiful bronzey rose color that makes your lips look like your own, but better. And I love that it has SPF 15. The only downside is that it comes in a tin, which I hate (not the most sanitary)... if only it came in a tube, it would be perfect. I also got the pink color, which is pretty, but not suitable for me for everyday... I think the bronze is a more versatile shade.

This is my favorite color in the kiss therapy lip balms out of the four I have (Shimmering Bronze, Shimmering Shell, Sheer Rose and Sheer Peach). I hope this isn't a limited edition color! This tin opens the best of the four I have, but I wish they came up with a better design. The color is pretty and slightly shimmery, perfect for work. Love the light rose scent.

I had to add this separately from the other Kiss Therapy products by Mark as it (along with Shimmering Shell-released at the same time) is the first in the line to offer a great combination of color, moisturizing balm and just a bit of shimmery complexity. First off, the packaging: Shimmering Bronze is in the same kind of metal tin as before, but the lips marking the top are gone. Now the entire lid indicates the color inside and has a small 'mark.' insignia. It's a bit tough to open at first, but the "twist-and-pull-at-the-same-time" method seems to do the trick without much difficulty. Secondly, the texture: Soft, creamy, solid lip balm. A bit creamier than it's predecesors, but not too waxy and not too oily. Seems very moisturizing on as well. On the downside regarding texture, the Shimmering Bronze does seem a bit grittier than the Shimmering Shell shade. Perhaps I just got a bad batch? Anyway, that needed to be noted. Lastly, the color: it's a pretty rosy bronze shade with just a touch of pearlescence that's not overbearing or glittery. It complements bronzed cheeks very nicely for a tanned and glowy summertime look. Summation: The packaging is bearable and the price is right. You can even use the inside of the polished metal tin as a makeshift mirror when you're out at the beach. Recommended if you like bronzey rose shades.
