One lippie taken off for price for such a small amount of gloss and because the brush, which is HORRIBLE! I love the color and the color payoff is great. I would but again and I have gotten a few other BB glosses.

This is one of my favorite glosses of all time. It is glossy yet stays on, and the color is beautiful, sheer yet enough color to give the lips "oomph."
I actually like the brush because you are getting a good amount of product on and don't have to pump the wand. I feel like with the soft tip applicators, or 'doe feet' as I've heard them referred to, the fuzzy, cloth tip is actually absorbing the product. I don't have a problem with the brush splaying. Bobbi Brown, if you're reading this, please don't change the brush.

I like the formula, how it smells, how it feels, but I will never re-purchase. It's to small and the brush is a piece of crap. When I was at the counter I saw the brush bristles pointing everywhere, but I thought that they cut them, or because the times that people tried it. When I came home and tried it on, I had to re-apply it several times because of the brush, it never gives a good amount of product. It looks like a sample with a dollar tree store brush.

I want to say that I will be wearing this product forever because it is the most flattering lip gloss I have ever found & has great staying-power but the packaging makes it an item I will never buy again. The brush is too small & feathers out when you put it in the tube & you can't get any of the gloss on the sides of the tube with it. I used the gloss every day for a month or so & then the brush was coming out clean no matter what I did. If it wasn't so expensive I would just have bought another one but at the price I paid, I was very disappointed. It's a shame because aside from the packaging, this is the best lip gloss I have ever used - it smells great (vanilla), is universally flattering & lasts a long time. Too bad.

The color is so flattering... it seems to look good on people with all types of coloring. My only issue is that it can come off rather fast (as is the case with most glosses) and was a bit drying in the winter. I recommend putting a bit of lip balm on underneath in winter months to keep it moist.

This lip gloss is very flattering, rose tint with shimmers. It makes lips look full, healthy, and sexy! The texture is perfect, silky, non-drying. My HG gloss and I use it at least a couple of dozens times a day.

LOVE THIS! This gloss is perfect over most lipsticks for extra impact, plus, it's very nice on it's own. It has enough color that it doesn't look pale on your lips, but isn't overpowering either. Excellent for a day at the beach. The staying power for a gloss is very, very good. It will stay in place for a long time without creeping to the outer edges of your lips. The only thing I don't like is that stupid brush applicator. I try to keep it neat in the tube, but the bristles always seem to be sticking out everywhere....this keeps you from being able to apply it as easily, but it's a gloss, so it's not too bad. Just wish they could come up with a better applicator!

This is a HG gloss for many women, including me! I love the color and the texture, plus it wears like a dream. Very moisturizing.

I occasionally freelance for BB and can explain the brush --- important to understand why it flays out. It is designed that way so that it sucks the gloss up from the bottom of the tube when it gets low. At least that's what I have been told, and I guess what I have experienced. If it didn't do what it's supposed to do, I think Bobbi would have changed it.

great color and just enough subtle shimmer to make your lips look plump-luscious (mine look about 30% bigger when i'm wearing this). the smell is a very nice hint of cinnamon and something else, maybe vanilla... it is sticky but not bothersome like VS. now - only the stickier lip glosses last, so i find it to be a plus! anyway - the best color and lasting power. girls i don't even know come up to me to ask what lip gloss i'm wearing! lol. get this, girls! bobbie's glosses are the best and actually worth the price!

Rose Sugar gloss is a natural reddish hue with miniscule shimmers. Versatile and flattering, it is great for everyday wear. It has tougher staying power than other lip glosses, but expect some of it to wear off during meals. Personally, i find the black plastic cap too plain. Considering the price for such a tiny tube, BB must put a lasting impression on the packaging. The brush, too, was splayed the very first time I opened the gloss. Lousy packaging and brush aside, this color is one of the best behind counters. Paired with clean bare face, it is perfect for a natural, pretty look.

Rose Sugar? Where have you been all my life? Youre the perfect texture (slick but lasting) and the most flattering color (natural rose with slight shimmer). I'll even over look your one short comming (sucky cheap unsturdy brush applicator) because I adore you so much. Staple on its way to be a HG product.

I love this gloss, it is so flattering. This gloss is not an overwhelming dark color, it is a beautiful YLBB (your lips but better) kind of gloss. It is shiny, smells wonderful because of the vanilla bean scent, and small enough to carry around everywhere. However, some may want more for the money which is understandable because you only get .14 fl oz. rather than .3 oz. which is what M.A.C. cosmetics would give you in their lip gloss. The brush is made of hard plastic bristles but it only splays if you are using it without care and carelessly twisting the brush constantly. This gives you a very subtle shimmer and a beautiful rose/brown color that is somewhat sheer. I love it and will always repurchase when I run out. Runs for $19.

OH MY GOD, I love this lipgloss! It is beautiful a nice rose pink color YLBB and I think might be universal for alot of skin tones. I will definately be repurchasing, just wish it wasn't so expensive. But HG, HG, HG color and feel. Not too thick but stays on. I put it on in the am and at lunch I still have some on (even after coffee and water) put on again after lunch and at 4:00 pm still on after water--I drink alot of water throughout the day (good for the skin).

This has been a staple in my makeup collection for several years...one of only a few products that I have actually used up and then needed to repurchase! The color is definitely YLBB, and looks wonderful for day and also to complement heavier eye makeup at night. I will always repurchase this when I run out!

This is a beautiful brownish-red color with shimmer. I really love it and can see myself buying it over and over again. The only thing I don't like about it is the brush. It is made so cheaply. For $19, BB should have better lipgloss brushes.

HG all the way!!! I can't imagine what I would do without this stuff. No matter how scrubby and awful I look, I can just swipe this gloss on my lips and feel like a million bucks. It's a soft rosy shade with just the right amount of shimmer in it, and basically makes my lips look natural, just with a kick. My lips are ultra sensitive and they react to almost anything, but this is the one lip product that I can use without having a painful reaction. I've bought two as back up, and I haven't even finished my current tube yet. If this gets discontinued, the world will be a very dreary place.

This is a shimmery brown rose colour that is a fabulous mlbb. The only downside is the infamous brush splaying however; this is such a gorgeous lip colour that I am willing to overlook it.

For Reference, I am a brunette MAC NW20 with warm freckles and espresso eyes (dark brown, but espresso sound better, no? LOL) Rose Sugar is gorgeous. It is medium soft pink with multi-color microshimmer, and sparkle. Now don't think rainbow glitter. First of all, this isn't chunky or gritty. Second, this is multi-colored shimmer but multiple nude and pink shimmer particles. Very very fine. The result is a neutral pink base color with a complex yet subtle shimmer effect. Very uniue IMHO. The texture is moisturizing, sticky and long-lasting. The brush splays like a mofo tho, as always with BB glosses. Still, the shade is fantastic, the texture great quality, so five lippies from me.

I can't believe how long this lasts! The MA at the BB counter used this on my four hours ago and it's still going strong. Very pretty, wearable color.

NOTE: This MA mentioned that the brush in this gloss is NOT supposed to be used to apply it to your lips. She said it's got stiff bristles designed to bring the product out of the tube, and then you can use a lip liner brush to apply to lips. I'd bought this in another color and thought the brush freakishly strange and splaying ... I just wish the other MAs at BB shared this tip with everyone.

I can apply this gloss and it lasts far longer than any others I have. It is a fabulous shade and if the brush wasn't so bad, I would give this an even higher rating. I'm not sure why BB doesn't change the whole brush thing. The best I can figure is that ladies like myself keep buying the gloss and loving it so why mess with it? Come to think of it...the brush really is such a minor thing because when you apply it to your lips, the straying bristles tend to stick together and it isn't as much of a problem as when you first remove the darn thing from the tube. I wish the size was larger as I believe I'll need to get more when mine is empty.
