I got this as part of a trio (with seashell and raisin) and I love it

I've been looking for a semi sheer baby pink (but not barbie pink) gloss for a while and everything was either too milky or too bright on my nc15 colouring

The gloss itself is fairly well pigmented. Nowhere near as pigmented as MAC or NARS glosses but I was looking for something a bit sheerer anyway. It smells quite nice - sweet. Lipgloss smell ends not to bother me either way. No taste that I can notice but again, no bother.

It is a bit sticky but I expect this from most long wearing lipglosses. It applies quite nicely with the brush applicator, though can be a bit streaky if you just chuck it on.

It's fairly longwearing and lasts a few hours on me. I love to layer it over my MAC angel lipstick, and they go together really well. It also goes quite well with slightly more MLBB or brown-y based lipstick (like creme in your coffee) and makes them look a touch pinker.

The downside with this is the packaging. It is a twist/click pen and I had to twist and click about 50 times before I got any product out. Now it's been used, I only need a couple of clicks but to start the product off it took ages and I noticed that the product I could see through the tube decreased quite rapidly.

I would buy this product again as I really like the colour and consistency but the packaging is a real let down down and can lead to a lot of product wastage, hence the 3 rating. If they just put it in a squeezy tube it'd be a 4 or 5!

A really pretty shade, though I don't really get any of the peachiness that some reviewers have mentioned. On my medium-pigmented plummy-pink lips, it looks like a light pink shade that is on the warmer side of neutral. It's not so milky that it washes out my NC20ish skin and it's not so bubblegum that it looks Barbie-ish. It seems to have tiny shimmers when I look closely at the tube, but these are totally undetectable on my lips. The formulation is semi-sheer and it gives decent colour and shine to the lips. The fragrance isn't to my taste - it's an artificial citrussy scent that resembles household cleaning products, but I only smell it as I'm actually applying the product. I like the brush applicator (find it applies the product smoothly and evenly), though the usual Stila click dispenser is as notoriously tricky and wasteful as ever. I love Stila Lipglazes - the decent shade range, the flattering pinks and peaches, the glossy finish, the easy-to-use brush tip - but the price for such a small amount of actual product is ridiculously steep.

I avoided Grapefruit for a long time because I thought it would be too sheer. But I was looking for a nice milky pink that wasn't too baby pink but close - and this turned out to perfectly fit the bill. I love the glazes because they just look so sexy and natural without screaming LIP GLOSS. This is rapidly becoming a must-have in my bag - it goes with everything.

Grapefruit is a frosted pink and if you look really closely (really closely) you'll actually see shimmer. It isn't sheer but it isn't opaque either. I can actually see it on my lips. It's a very pretty pink that looks natural on my medium toned lips and dark NC45 with yellow and orange undertones.

I would consider this a nice baby step to those with dark skin trying to venture into more saturated lip colors. I'd also recommend to WOC lining your lips with a lip pencil two shades darker and blending the two colors until they become seamless.


A very lovely color.

This is a great lip gloss! It leaves a glossy pink hue, which is very flattering. It lasts longer than most lip glosses. The only down side is it can get a little sticky. But overall is a solid product

I've had this for some time... found it buried in my stash of unused/unopened make up. I like this color a lot, it looks great on my skin tone. But otherwise, what I don't like is that it's rather sticky compared my other glosses. I wouldn't buy this alone, definitely not at the retail price. I don't think it's a good value, as there are better lip glosses on the market at a lower price point. I would repurchase, however, if I can find it at a a reasonable discounted price.

These were so hot a few years ago but lip glosses have come a long way since then and IMO this is no longer a contender. It's just ok stuff. I call this product "supermarket lipgloss" because I wear it for those early morning errands where you want to look fresh and awake but not really made up. The product stays on just look enough to get those few morning errands done before it leaves a nasty little residue in the corners of my mouth - ew. What irritates me the most is how little product you get for the price point. I also find them sticky and they seem to wear down unevenly. I think it's probably time for a re-formulation of these, Ms. Lobell.

So, normally I do not give such a high rating on packaging. Everyone usually gets a 3 or lower. But, I love this clear packaging. It lets you now right away how much you are using AND it clicks so you get a good idea of how much you need to apply next time. You know, like 3 clicks will give me this look and 2 clicks will give me that look, etc...

I have grapefruit, mauvelous and a couple others from the same collection and they are distinctly different on my lips. All smell great. a little sticky, but not bad. Great product all around.

For Christmas I received the 8-pack set that my mom picked up at Costco. Grapefruit is a pretty milky pink, although nothing too unique or special. The texture is smooth, but very sticky/tacky. The scent is strong and doesn't resemble grapefruit, but rather a citrus scent with a chemical overtone. I keep trying to wear this gloss, but the awful scent prevents me.

This is a pretty milky pink and it looks gorgeous...my favorite is to layer it over viva glam gaga lipstick.

I'm surprised at the negative reviews!! I bought this in a holiday set a few years ago. I just now started wearing it but I wish I started sooner! It's the perfect soft milky pink. Alot of milky pinks look off with my NW43 skin, but the lipglazes are sheer enough to give soft color. This is one of the prettiest pink l/g I have ever seen. I loved the scent but since I'm just now wearing this, the product has lost its scent. The lipglaze I have now is a mini, so if I wear it alot, it won't be long before I'll want to get the larger size lipglaze. I will definitely be repurchasing this as some point. (I also have to add that this looks great layered over Stila lipstick in Juliette - a sheer pink)

I got this in a set and I wouldn't repurchase this color on its own. I pretty much all around hate it (I wanted to like it, though). It was just a shade too light for me (I'm light with lips that are mid-pink toned) and this just didn't look right. It's a really frosty baby pink, and it smells citrusy. I can't comment if it smells like grapefruit or not as I've never smelled grapefruit before.

I love the product itself, and the color is gorgeous. The texture is nice and creamy and it looks great on. I don't have it in the tube form; the one I have is the Grapefruit Lip Glaze Stick, so it looks more like a lipliner than a lipgloss. My only complaint is that the end seems to break off whenever I use it, therefore it has to constantly be sharpened. Other than that, it's one of my favorite lip products.

Another great scent from Stila with no color payoff. I got this in a giftset for 75% off, and I doubt I'd pay full price. The scent is very refreshing, the texture is good, and I like to wear this gloss, but the dispenser isn't great. I always get too much product at a time.

I received my first lip glaze (this one) in a swap. I didn't pay for it or anything, but I know about the price and have purchased other Stila Lip Glazes before. This is a very pretty peachy-pink color and it smells lovely, too. But, I found that this lip gloss was sooooo sticky and didn't seem to moisturize at all. For the price? It's a tad expensive, considering it's a clicky pen that doesn't seem to have much product in it. And it takes forever for the product to actually come out and when it does, A LOT comes out and I end up wasting some of the product.

I really love the color, and if it weren't for the stickiness, I'd totally get more.

i like the consistency and its not sticky. doesnt really give my lips color because the pink is too sheer, so it just makes them shiny and juicy looking. i like the scent. don't like the applicator though, i keep clicking out too much product because it comes out slower than the clicks done.

This is my one and only lip glaze and while I'm not in love it is is a cute peachy pink gloss. My lips are very pigmented and this comes out quite sheer. It smells yummy and while the packaging is cute it isn't the most practical. When I first got it, I had to click the pen forever to get any product out but after using it for awhile, the product would ooze out after just one click. I won't repurchase due to how sheer it is and the impractical packaging.

Not worth the price. I have used much better lip glosses before. Like the click tube, but that is about it. Lip gloss is sticky.

Cute pink gloss colour. Very stick, pretty expensive for what it is. The lipglazes used to be smaller and less expensive. However I looked at my old one and the oz/ml inside is still the exact same amount. Not cool.

This was my first Stila purchase. It smells absolutely divine! In fact, I can’t stop liking my lips whenever I have this on, which sort of defeats the purpose haha. Nonetheless, it’s a superb lip-gloss.
