Well, i'm expecting too high on this product. but i'm disappointed. It doesn't has enough stay power on my lips...i feel like wearing cheap gloss. And doesn't smell good too (as mac lipgloss smell like vanilla)

Saplicious pull out pink and red undertones from lips. So when I want my lips to be neutral, I out it on. Lovely!

I don't think I like the Lip Gelees--they're too slick for my taste, and feel like they're going to slide right off any second. Saplicious is basically clear on me; it might add a milky nude tint if I layer it, but I try not to since the texture doesn't make this gloss very layerable. This is best worn with some kind of lipliner underneath to prevent it from sliding right off. Signature faint vanilla MAC scent and no taste. MAC products are not that expensive, but I think that this is really not worth the price. You can easily, easily find something at the drugstore that will be just as nice or nicer. Heck, you could probably just slick on some petroleum jelly and call it a day. Would not repurchase.

I think this lipgelee is the most beautiful out of all of them! This is my favorite, with good reason. These are sooo smooth and comfy to wear and I like that they are not highly pigmented. Gives my lips a nice caramel glaze, MLBB kinda shade. I love the smell ! I will buy again and again.

this is a simple yet beautiful color. it goes great with other colors or alone for a natural yet beautiful look. i pair this with chesnut or mahogany and it looks so nice on my nn43 complexion. there is no shimmer and i feel like it does condition my lips as i wear it so i like that. i bought a similar shade in another line over the holidays just because but it's just not the same. i hope they never discontinue this one...it's a keeper!

** update ** i don't really care for this color as much now. there are better sheer glosses what give more pop. i am preferring bare escentuals lip gloss for natural all around gloss to this.

I LOVE the texture of this! So much better than the lip glasses/plus glasses/ lustere glasses. Its smooth and not sticky at all. However, it has no color at all! I bought this because I thought it would be perfect to create the sexy pink nude lip I love so much. I was playing at the local MAC counter, and had viva glam v on my hand, saw this gorgeous gloss, blended it over that lipstick, and tada! perfect nude lip look! But once I got it home, and tried that it, it wouldn't show up at all. In fact, it seemed to make that lip look on my lips look DARKER. So that sucked. This gloss is really good though. It feels great and I put it on when my lips are feeling dry or chapped and it helps that too. So I still def. recommend it, just with a lipstick underneath for actual color. And the artists will tell you that these glosses actually aren't very pigmented.

I was pretty disappointed with this color. It looks sooo beautiful in the tube, and when you put it on it looks so sheer and the color doesn't even pop. It looks like any regular lip gloss color, not like MAC's. I bought this color because I love lip gelees, who doesn't?? they are the perfect texture and the perfect thing to go when you don't feel like lipstick and lip gloss, and when just lip balm is too little. My favorite color of the lipgelees would have to be Jellybabe, beautiful rose color that actually looks like the color in the tube!

This is my favorite lipgloss of all time! I love it and I just bought a new tube. I'm an NC40 and this goes on as a pretty sheer brown on me. If you're looking for something opaque, this is not for you. This is great alone as a more natural-looking color or on top of other lipsticks. I like using this with MAC's Creamola Cremestick Liner. I love the tube applicator, but I hate how there will be a little bit in the tube that you will never be able to get out. I love this so much that I want to use every drop.

The reason I took off one lippy is because this doesn't last very long on me, and I feel like reapplying after one or two hours.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE the texture of the lipgelee's.
Not sticky at all and adds just the right amount of shine.

With Saplicious it looks brownish in the tube and I am a huge fan of neautral/nude lips so I was a *LITTLE* disappointed to see it produced NO colour payoff BUT! It looks amazing over Aloof, Blankety, Myth etc. type lipsticks. I would definatley purchase Lipgelee's again and I cant wait too see other colours how they pan out.

Lipgelee's win over any of the Juicy Tubes, VS's Lip Rush type glosses any day because of texture of the gloss and stickiness factor is so minimal.

Oh and the slanted tip applicator is great too (it has a little groove cut out to cover the WHOLE lip).

I only took off one lippy because of no colour pay off but I will buy more of them.
ciao!

Like this, wish it was more opaque, more nude instead of caramel. I'll keep it and I'll use it but I probably won't repurchase.

I'm not sure about this lipgelee. Although I like wearing it, I don't think I would repurchase.
It's the first lipgelee I've ever tried and I really like the texture. It's soft, doesn't feel too sticky and doesn't look too glossy. I actually prefer lipgelees over lipglasses. I think the lipglasses are a bit too sticky and a bit more difficult to apply.
I'm a big fan of nude lipglosses and when I got this tube (mini size), I thought it would be too pigmented (looks rather brownish in the tube), but it hardly adds any color to my lips. I wouldn't even say it's a "your lips but better" color.
It's just nice, but nothing special.

I love this stuff, I just got it and I use it all the time. Before I put it on my lips I thought that it was going to be dark brownish. But it's definately not, very sheer which I love. You only have to use a little bit as well. It really makes my lips soft after using =]

I love MAC Lipgelee's in general, and this color is no exception. It's a gorgeous beige/brown with subtle golden shimmer. On my lips, the color applies sheerly, so it's definately a MLBB kind of gloss, because you do see the subtle golden shimmer and just a hint of color. I love the scent of these lipglosses- it's a light, pleasant vanilla. And, finally, I love the tube applicator that these come in. The tip isn't even slightly scratchy, like with some lipglosses that come in tubes (I always had this problem with Lancome Juicy Tubes). As for the lasting power, they last a pretty decent amount of time for a lipgloss, IMO. But they could last a mere 20 minutes and I wouldn't mind because I love applying this lipgloss. Although I want to try more shades, I can see myself buying Sapilicious again when I run out.

I really like this gloss. I am DDD and my lips have somewhat of a dark pigmentation so this looks like a clear gloss on me. I love the texture; somewhat thick but not sticky at all. As a matter of fact, this feels very smooth. This also has a great vanilla scent. I love it. And the very best part of owning this gloss...I got it free when I went to an Estee Lauder cosmetics sale just outside of Toronto. It was given as a thank you gift. Awesome.

I love MAC Lip Gelee, but I was expecting more color from this shade. It's the equivelent of buying clear. Really not pigmented as much as I wanted. I was going for a browny-peach and it's a light brown mauve. Oh, we'll that's MAC and their online swatches... UPDATE: Saplicious looks way better on top all of my favorite lipsticks, I detect no mauve this way. Alone however, it does look pretty transparent to me. I want to note how much I love the way Lip Gelee's even out the lip. Makes all lipsticks look so smooth. I'm not sure one way or the other if I'll buy this shade again now that I figured out how to use it. One tube lasts and lasts.

I usually love lipgelees and especially nude/pink shades and I thought Saplicious would be one of them. I can't say that this colour is overly bad, as it is a very pretty shade with slight shimmer. However, as a NW20 brunette, I've figured that this shade washes me out and somewhat makes my complexion appear muddy. I never realized this until I saw a picture of myself with this on! In terms of everything else, I think this product could work on most people due to its sheerness and slight tint. I probably won't repurchase, but I still keep Saplicious in my pocket wherever I go.

i was hoping for more color payoff but this is pretty. gives a nice sexy sheen to my lips BUT not much color. with these glosses being so sheer there should be more glitter or shimmer to each of them.

This color comes up as a light nude/brown tone color. I recieved this as a gift with 3 other lipgelee's and although the texture is amazing, I didn't like the color too much, it's too neutral. But if you are into neutral tones, then this is your color. It came up exactly how it was in the tube (again, a light nudish brown) on my lips and it looks almost like jello.

I really wanted to love Saplicious, because I adore Lipgelees and brown or honey nude lipcolors. Unfortunately, Saplicious is just too sheer for my rosy lips. My other Lipgelees give me a nice transparent tint, but Saplicious just looks clear. It's not a bad gloss (I love love love the Lipgelee texture, scent, and even the slant tip applicator) but I won't repurchase.
