I am SO glad I bought this! I went to Sephora today to splurge on a new lip gloss. After trying on and wiping off gloss after gloss, I was lucky enough to happen upon this! None of the glosses I'd tried previous to this impressed me too much. But this lip gloss went on slick and ultra-glossy. It's thin, but feels smooth and slick, rather than watery and greasy like most thin glosses. It gives the ULTIMATE wet lip look! The shades are gorgeous too -- many are some variation of red, and all are very, very sheer. Sheer, as in a natural translucent tint. I bought the color Aster, which looks like a cool plummy shade in the tube, but goes on warm red. Quite simply, it's GORGEOUS. And the gloss itself is even more fabulous -- extra glam, extra glossy shine infused with sheer tint and loads of moisture! Plus, this stuff is SO SHINY! And while it seems like such a small amount of product for such a high price ($18), I should tell you that a little bit goes a long way! One thin coat provides more shine than you get in multiple coats of most other glosses. And the packaging is great too. The sponge applicator picks up enough gloss for one application in just one dip. so you don't have to keep dipping and dipping and dipping...

I have aster, which looks dark blood red in the tube but goes on sheer. It gives my lips a just bitten color. Very sexy!

This is THE lipgloss to end all lipglosses. I bought it in Daphne, and it makes my lips look like a baby's: soft, moist, just a little brighter than my natural color. I use it instead of clear, to put over other lipsticks, it doesn't interfere with their color but it also doesn't get muddy when you put the wand back into the tube. I bought 3 more since that first one, so I'm never caught w/out it -- all in Daphne. I threw all my other clear glosses away, even Lancome Virtual Lip Brio and Versace Clear. Guess that answers whether I'd buy it again. :D

I have Lipshine in "Milk", a clearish gloss, and "Damask", a shimmery pale pink gloss. I would compare "Damask" to a Clinique's glosswear color called "Whisper".

Both Fresh glosses are great--they make my lips look very pretty and are not annoyingly sticky. The consistency is great--not too thin and not to thick. And I love the natural ingredients Fresh uses in its cosmetics. I definitely recommend these glosses. They are very easy to apply and usually do not require a mirror--a quality i LOVE in lip glosses! I can't wait to get more colors.

I bought this a couple weeks ago, and I really like it. Consistency isn't so thick that you need to use a mirror to put it on (a plus for me). I bought this in Iris Shine, and it looks just like what I imagine Black Honey looks like on everyone else.

I've found another Holy Grail gloss! I was a little leery to buy this, considering I've never spent $18 on a gloss, but I decided to go for it (I originally looked at it because one of the Dixie Chicks said she doesn't wear gloss but has bought this one 4 times, it was a gift from Sheryl Crow). I love the smooth texture that's not at all sticky, and the brown sugar smell. I will definately buy this again (if I have the money haha)! Fave shades are Daphne (ur-lips-but-better) and Satine.

I love the beautiful plum color of this lip gloss in Flora. I have dark olive skin and found that this looks great during the day and in the evenings. It actually moisturizes your lips, too. I wear it over my Nars lipstick in Caberet -- they look perfect together. However, the color seems to fade very quickly (within the hour) like other lip glosses. Does anyone have recs on lip glosses that stay?

I purchased Daphne from Sephora and was rather surprised to see that it was a sheer berry red color (as online it looked almost purple), but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on. I agree that it is a tad runny (not too bad though) and it doesn't have the best staying power, but I loved the color so much that I would repurchase it anyway. It is a perfect "my lips but better" color for me and I am ppp.

I have recently purchased 2 of these in Claret and Satine. I am so pleased with them! The colors in general are sheer but the intensity is increased the more I apply. Claret is a sheer berry with a small amount of shimmer. Satine is a sheer pink/red with more shimmer. I especially like to apply a lip pencil and then cover it with Satine. Satine is sheerer than Claret. Claret is great alone or over a nude colored pencil. The gloss itself is not gloppy or sticky and feels very slick on my lips. I love the texture. It is not as thick as NARS gloss or MAC but it is not thin like Vaseline. I don't like heavy, thick glosses. It does not bleed or feather beyond my lips. I like the wand applicator and find that it applies the product to my lips precisely. The price is kind of high ($18) but I will buy them again because I love the colors and texture.

I have the lipshine in Amber and have been using it for a while now. It's super super sheer so I use it when I don't feel like looking too made up. Amber is such a gorgeous warm muted red with a touch of brown...very nice for those who normally can't wear reds because they are just too bright. However, I think that all fresh products are overpriced, and this one is no exception. This gloss is also a bit on the slippery side, so you have to take care placing it in your purse and you will end up with a runny mess. Otherwise, I found it to have a clean fresh scent and to be nicely moisturizing.

I got this in Cranberry and I must say $18 is way too much for this. I had no problem with this being too sheer, WOW, this is red! Very pretty red that didnt go pink on me. Also wasnt really all that shiny. No taste or scent, an average gloss but nothing special and I would not repurchase.

Lovely high quality lipgloss in Claret. Colour is deep red in tube but less intense bite-your-lip red with high sheen once applied. Very moist, not sticky - would buy again. Great MA in Chicago store, Patty, who was very helpful and was generous with samples.

My cousin was wearing Amber shine and I absolutely loved the color, a gorgeous red gloss...but it dries out my lips and the taste is NASTY! I concur-there are better-tasting, longer lasting glosses on the market...I wouldn't recommend it..

For a while I was truly going nuts over these glosses. I purchased Claret (a natural berry shade) and was thoroughly fascinated by how great it looked on my lips and how glamourous the colour is. While I still adore it, I have to say that it wears off quickly and provides very little, if any, moisture. As little as an hour after application, my lips begin to feel dry, even though the colour leaves a definite stain. That's a great plus, but I hate having dry lips so unfortunately I can't give this a complete winning mark. Regardless of that fact, it seems I still want more of these - my obsession wouldn't allow me to stop at just one!

I usually do not wear bright lip gloss colors, but a Fresh representative tried the Amber lip shine on me and I loved it. The color is gorgeous! I have to agree though, that the texture is a little runny - it doesn't last very long. Also, I think for the price, the tube could be a bit bigger. Think I'll stick with Fresh's body products! Update: Fresh's lipshines have become a favourite, especially Amber. I actually like the light/thin texture as opposed to the goopy, thick texture of many lipglosses. such as MAC.

I've tried a lot of lip glosses lately and this is the first I've liked. I got Patina (sort of a light purplish color in the bottle), and agree with everyone that it doesn't add much color to the lips. If you're looking for a gloss that adds color, this is not the product for you. However, if you're looking for high shine and moisture, Fresh Lip Shine has it. As with Fresh lipstick, it makes me feel glamorous. And coupled with Fresh lipstick? Watch out! I'm talking supermodel. I do not find it to be at all runny. EDIT: It's so funny how opinions change with time! I still like Patina a lot, but I've since become absolutely addicted to CHANEL Glossimers, which have a much thicker consistency. I thought. Ironically, I thought I didn't like the thickness of CHANEL's, but now I love it. The Fresh Lip Shines are comparatively runny. I also have a darker color (I don't remember the name), and I can never get it to apply evenly. I'm demoting this l/g from a 5 to a 3.

these come in pretty colors but are so sheer that they basically go on clear with a tint. I prefer more pigmented glosses.

I tried Daphne Shine and it's okay. It takes at LEAST 3 coats to get the half the color you see in the tube. I wish it had a little more pigment to it! The thing that might make me keep it is the fact that once it sinks into your lips, they feel so smooth and conditioned. It's a good product if you're going for a "minimal" look. It is VERY SHINY too. It's not my favorite, but the packaging makes application very convenient - unlike Cargo's lip glosses.
