I purchased mine in a gift set at CVS. The packaging is your typical wand lip gloss. This gift set included a full size Alexandrite and mini sizes of Tourmaline, Rose Quartz, Ruby, and Kunzite. The texture is good and it lasts about as long as any other lip gloss. It does have a bit of a minty flavoring. I was really impressed with the colors and price. I ended up with a second set for a back up. Not sure it really does anything to minimize lines, but overall a good product.

I wanted to love this. I really really did...but it wasn't to be. This made my lips itch and left me with a funky bumpy rash around the edge of my mouth. I've never ever had that kind of reaction to any sally product and in fact the lip diamonds is my FAV gloss, so I don't know what the problem was. The colors are soft and pretty, but this was not a love affair to be.

LOVE IT! This is now my favorite lipgloss! So moisturizing! I have the pink saphirre? I don't know what it is but its pink something. It doesn't have much of a color. But I recommened if you want a little bit of shine and moisture! Smells great!

I love these lip glosses. I love all of Sally Hansen lip glosses. I love that they come in pretty, wearable shades. I love that they are more of a treatment than just a gloss. Therefore, most of them double as a balm and outperform a balm in most instances. I think these glosses are actually improve your lips. I will continue to repurchase.

I use about 5 or 6 different lip products regularly. This is one of them. I have this in Tourmaline.

I like the glossy feel and the shimmer of it. The color goes great with my coloring (fair-medium, auburn hair, green eyes).

This goes on smooth and has a pleasant taste. It does not feel gunky to me, I hate when a product feels gunky or sticky on my lips. This gives a hint of color and feels really nice. Does it smooth my lines? I have no idea. I probably do not use it enough to tell. It does feel good and is a reasonably priced lip product that is sheer with a little shimmer and not too glossy.

This stuff is crap for me... Didn't "smooth" any lines and it smells funky... I bought it in the color of Rose Quartz and the only thing that showed up was gold glitter...

I bought this in Pink Sapphire and it's a gorgeous, light but sheer pink. it's so girly, I just love it! Great smell, great taste, nice and thick...but it's kinda sticky, and doesn't really last too long. Nonetheless, I keep buying it. I don't know if this really smooths your lips, but my lips are nice and smooth anyway, so this gloss might have helped a bit. I dunno, but I love it!

I bought Alexandrite, a mauvy/rose. At first I wasn't sure I liked it, but after it wore off my lips felt great. My lips felt better and better everytime I used it. So I love it.

Picked up "Pink Saphire" & "Tourmaline" while they were on sale at my local drugstore...and wow! I'm loving these lgs and this is coming from a total lg junkie.
Pink Saphire is very light pink w/ shimmers that show up basically clear w/ shimmers on my pigmented lips (looks great alone or over lipliner). Tourmaline is definitely MLBB w/ very flaterring shimmer. The texture really does smooth out my lips...while most other brands of lipgloss require a lipbalm underneath, these looked beautiful straight out of the tube and applied to my bare lips.
However, I took one lippie off for the staying power...it's basically non-existant. Also the color is very sheer, so don't expect the pigments to be like your MAC lgs.

This is an awesome gloss, the texture is slick without being sticky and has a subtle caramel/vanilla/mint scent which I find very pleasant. I got Alexandrite, a rich shimmery mauve/rose which makes my pigmented lips look fantastic! It's similar to a much loved and now discontinued L'Oreal lipstick called Shine Delice in Tropical Punch, this was my HG MLBB product, I actually used up 2 tubes! The textures are different, since this is a gloss and the other was a LS, but the effect is very similar. Seems to wear well, as for line-smoothing, I'm not sure, I'll have to test it for longer.


I will rebuy!!! I paid 6.99 at a grocery store for it.

A really nice gloss with beautiful colors. The taste is a mild minty flavor but inobstrusive enough for this nose. I don't understand what others are complaining about I find it rather nice and I'm really surprised this gloss hasn't gotten better reviews. However, I think the mineral part in the name of the product is pure marketing everyone is trying to jump on the mineral bandwagon. I am quite certain the only mineral thing about this is the name. Anyway, back to the gloss texture; a middle of the road gel consistency nit sticky but definitely not slippery or oily which is a pet peeve of mine. The texture in fact is where this product shines no pun intended! The colors are relatively sheer but beautiful with my favorite being tourmaline and amethyst I think that these are limited edition but I am not too concerned because I really love all of Sally's glosses and she is sure to come out with more. If you come upon them you should give them a try.

I got this in tourmaline which appears to be pinkish-bronze in the tube. It is nearly colorless when applied. It does feel nice and moisturizing, but overall I think this product has more minuses than plusses--it has minimal color, poor staying power--there is nothing awful about it, but it is just a very basic lip gloss and does not warrant the 7-8 dollar price. As for line smoothing, I think any gloss would do the same thing just by putting a layer of something thick and shiny on your lips.

OK first of all, I am getting ripped off at my local CVS where they charged $9 for this! I chose lightest color, 'pink sapphire,' a petal-pink shot w/gold- but whatever, because its essentially clear on the lip. The frag is faint to my nose, minty-vanilla, and no nasty tastes like their horrid plumping gloss. This is the least lasting gloss I have ever used. 30 min post app- no eating, and its gone. To its credit, it oddly does make my lips feel moisturized even after its gone. It also has what I consider the best texture of the many glosses I've tried. It is thick without being tacky. I prefer sponge tip to brush style applicator, so point there too from me. Repurchase? Never at the CVS price, but knowing how little pigment there is I may venture into one of the deeper shades I normally would fear. If you enjoy whipping out your gloss wand to reapp, this one will actually need reapp regularly! (I also suckered myself into one of the attendant lip line smoothing/plumping/erasing products. Sally gets me every time, damn it!!) UPDATE I'm reaching for this All The Time, it never dries out my lips and is foolproof, so I've got to give it 5.

Has a gross, minty-jelly-bean scent and minty taste. Plus the packaging is kind of ugly, as is usual with Sally Hansen stuff (they should seriously rethink their packaging), but this is a nice lip gloss. "Kunzite" is a really, really pretty light pink with lots of gold shimmer. It is sort of like how I thought NARS' "Orgasm" lipgloss would look like--that one is more of a beigey-gold-nudey color on my pigmented lips, while this definitely adds a bit of pink to my mouth. This is a bit heavy on the shimmer, but it looks pretty and makes your lips seem fuller, rather than being tacky. The texture is good--smooth, creamy and not sticky at all, though the lasting power is middlin'. I would hesitate to repurchase this, though, due to the fragrance and ugliness of the packaging, though the product itself is quite nice. Maybe.

I love the texture of these. Creamy, moisturizing, but not too sticky though it does feel semi-thick on the lips. Nice gloss for the cold winter weather and doesn't dry out my lips. The shade in "Tourmaline" is absolutely gorgeous--a rosy/mauvey/slightly bronzey color. Pretty glossy shine, but please note that these have a subtle color. Not sure about the line smoothing effect, though my lips do look a tad plumper and smoother (but that coudl just be the effects of gloss in general). Nice minty smell and slight tingle, though not obtrusive. I think it's a great buy for 4-5 bucks!

I'm not sure if these actually have some type of real mineral in them, or if these new glosses by Sally Hansen are all just named after minerals.



I picked up Kunzite, which in the tube is a gorgeous golden-tinged rosy shade. Sadly, it's so sheer that I don't get any color payoff except for a hint of gold shimmer. A HINT, I say lol. Unless you have pale lips, I'm assuming that these may not do well in the color dept. for anyone.



There's a cherry/mint scent to it, and the texture does feel conditioning, but hell, that's what lip balm is for lol. I want color, dammit! As for line smoothing, I didn't really see much difference between this and any other gloss, as far as the appearance of the texture of my lips goes.



This got returned immediately ... I'll just admire the pretty colors in the tubes LOL.

I found this new product at Meijer's for $4.99. I picked up three neutral colors, this one being Citrine (nude honey with some shimmer--not glitter but shimmer). This is a basic gloss but a nice one in a good basic color. It gives high shine and decent color coverage (if applied a little heavier). It is not overly sticky and gives a little bit of a tingly/minty feel when applied. It seems very moisturizing/creamy to me but I am not sure how "line smoothing" it would be (I don't really have a problem with lip lines yet). The packaging is basic, it's a gloss tube with a sponge tip applicator. The smell is a little on the heavy side, I believe like other Sally Hansen lip products I have tried. I imagine some people would complain about the odor but it doesn't bother me too much. I don't know quite how to describe it, maybe minty vanilla? I could do without the strong smell but overall a nice gloss for the price!
