I have this in Latte Honey. The package is cute and the product is great.

The product is very sticky, but this is good because it last a long time on my lips, even after licking them. The product is very strong smelling, but doesn't have a lot of taste but I love it. Makes my lips very soft.

The smell of this is so nauseating I had to run and find a bathroom in the department store I was in and quickly wash it off before I "tossed my cookies". I swear even after washing it off, it left a nasty salty taste on my lips that took awhile to fade away. Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck.

I don't know what the color I have is called but its a light, sheer pink. The quality is decent and the price is great BUT the BEST part: If you pump the wand in and out of the tube a few times and then look at it closely, for some reason the gloss goes flying off of the sponge tip! Its hard to explain, its kind of static-y looking. But try it!! I swear, it is so amusing!!!!

Wow, who knew lipgloss could smell like Golden Grahams? I have Honey Mocha and also tried the sample of Honey Be & definitely recommend the former. Honey Mocha has a pretty medium-pink shimmer (not heavily pigmented, but still pretty) and has good lasting power. The texture is definitely on the sticky side, however. Honey Be smells like candy and is not quite as cute- the color of the shimmer seems a little off(reddish?) Still, provided that you don't mind a strongly-scented gloss, I recommend checking this out- I also love the tiny, very portable tube.

I really love this. I have honey be and it smells so good. Pretty much clear, my boyfriend does not like how sticky it is and won't kiss me when I am wearing it though!

i tried this out, got a itty bitty sample in this months cosmogirl :) it was the shade Honey Be, and i'm glad i got to try it - and realize that its defintely NOT worth wasting your money on. average gloss, not super shiny, weird smell/taste, really strange magenta-y shimmer opalescence or soemthing.. just looks un natural and odd, and also yuck its kinda sticky.. not as sticky as lipglass. defintely not as good. and i didnt' find it to be all that moisturizing either. :/ meh, i wasn't expecting much from this though, bonne bell just isn't a brand i trust too much

I first bought "Honey Kiss". I quickly ran into the car and tried it, and practically HURLED. Then I bought "Honey Be". Not such a strong smell, but still yuck. Then I bought "Honey Sugar" the clear kind. Wasn't too sickenly smelling. Much better than the others.

I bought two of these this week and wish I hadn't, they just were not what I was expecting. Not enough shine and surely not enough color. I bought Mocha, which looks like it is going to be a nuetral brown, but guess what? Its clear, no pigment at all and very little shine. I also bought Honey Be and I like this a little better, I like adding the opalescent quality to my lips and getting just a little pink over my lipliner. The packaging is cute and they smell wonderful, but for the price $4, just not worth it, I was hoping for a lot more shine. I am a PPP.

Oooh, i like it. I like that it's not too shiny. I like how long it lasts, it's tacky, but not as much as LipGlass. I *love* the shape of the tube and the small size. I got the strongly scented Honey Mocha, the shimmer is perfect. I like the irredescense of Honey Be as well. 4 stars. Great nude lip from both, but i prefer wearing them together if that makes any sense. My pigmented lips need more coverage than a sheer lipgloss.

As much as I love some of Bonne Bell's lippies (especially their lip d'votions) I'm not pleased with this particular product at all! I don't hate it but I just feel a little "let down" by it. First off, from the package, Honey Pie (the one I got) looks like it's going to be this sheer dark pinky-burgundy. *However* this goes on as.. well...CLEAR!! Well, maybe if I squint really hard & look close, you can see a hint of pink. Not at all the color I thought it was going to be! And with my pigmented lips, basically clear tinted pink gloss really doesn't do me any good. :( The smell is also a surprise to me- I thought it would have some kind of light honey smell -but WHOA!! This is VERY strong!! It smells like a mixture of honey and powdered sugar!! Ugh!! It's SWEET- almost dangerously close to being "sickeningly" sweet. *shudder* and I like sweet stuff too! But this is just *almost* too much for me!! The last part is that the Honey kiss glosses are supposed to be this moisture rich gloss to "soothe lips since it is infused with honey, nature's ultimate moisturizer"- honestly, it doesn't feel that moisturizing, it just feels sticky and sort of just "sits" on top of my lips. *Sigh* not at all what I was hoping for when I 1st saw these on Bonne Bell's website. I won't be buying any other of the honey kiss glosses. :(

I bought the lip gloss in "Honey Mocha". I like it. The color is pretty and subtle. I like the taste too. It lasts a lot longer than most lip glosses.

well, at first the scent shocked me as i wasn't expecting it to really smell like opening a bottle of real honey, but i LOVE the great moisturizing and i like that it seems to protect my lips from harsh weather really well. i do think it could be a bit more pigmented...at first i bought the mocha because any more you just don't know how much a 'gloss' will color, when i found that it was almost clear with a faint tint, i went and bought the honey pie shade thinking it would be a bit more tinted, but was a little disappointed that it didn't offer much more pigment that the first. these are almost completely clear with just a hint of the shade in them. but they do smell good and give a great, smooth finish and sweet smell, they are also very moisturizing. they would work well over a pencil or other lipcolor, or on their own if you only want a very sheer hint of color.

I was so excited to try this, and I couldn't find them in my area for a little bit. Found them yesterday just about everywhere though! I got this in Honey Be - only thing I was disappointed in was the scent, it sounded like it would smell great but this one had a weird smell to it. The color is great though, an iridescent white/champagne color, and I like the little tube, I can stuff it in the makeup bag I keep in my purse. :) I really liked the texture of it, and it seems pretty moisturizing, so I think I'll go back and try some more. I thought 4 bucks wasn't too bad for this, but then I almost always love any Bonne Bell glosses.

Just like everyone else, I got *drumroll* - Honey Mocha! It is a light, pinkish-mocha colored gloss that makes me wish summer were already here (also been buried in the snow here in the NE!). Very pretty color, and powerful mocha scent. I also got Honey Pie, which is a mauvey-toned gloss that goes on clear and smells just like sweet honey. Really cute packaging, but the quantity is small for the price and makes me feel guilty for spending $4.49. :/

Got this in Honey Kiss.
Color: Pretty much clear w/ a slight pink tint.
Texture: Thick, glossy & moisturious. Feels so good.
Lasting Power: Decent. It feels so nice to apply on bare lips, I dont mind applying it often.
Scent: strong honey, candyish. I like the scent but I was afraid my boyfriend wouldnt dig it, but he loves it.
I like this as a clear gloss for wearing over a lippy. But if your looking for color- pass this one up. The packaging is great. (MMM dk red/ green)

Got this in Honey Kiss and it seems to be a pretty good lipgloss. It's thick and moisturizing, but doesn't last all that long. I like this, but I don't think I'd repurchase. The smell of Honey Kiss is like cotton candy but with a weird scent under that. But it fades.

I got the "Honey Latte" on Saturday, a sheer pinky brown. The color is not really noticeable over lipstick, but the texture, smell and staying power are all amazing. I liked it so much I went back today and got "Honey Mocha" and "Honey Kiss". Honey Latte and Honey Mocha are both coffee sents, and Honey Kiss smells like cotton candy. I love these and think they are a great new product!~

I bought this in Honey Mocha, and the color did not show up on my lips at all. However, the taste and smell were great, and it added a nice shine to my lips.

I really lik this lipgloss. I bought it for 4.09 $ at Target in Honey Mocha. The scent acually does not bother me too much. like the way it goes on and the way it looks on my lips. Tha packaging is adorable! The only reason I gave it a four is b/c it would be evenbetter if it was a brush..I love them things. LoL. Overall I think these new li' glosses are a nice investment. I only really like the Mocha color so when they come out with more colors, I will buy more!

I saw three shades - Honey Sugar (clear), Honey Sweet (a shimmery white that looked unwearable, at least for me), and Honey Mocha (a shimmery light pink). I bought Mocha.

The gloss is thick without being particularly sticky. Lasting power is tremendous, and the shimmer stays on your lips after the glossiness wears away. The color is a fairly opaque shimmery light pink - a great summer color. Reminds me of MAC Oyster Girl, but more wearable on my pale skin. Paired with peach blush and bare or neutral eyes (which is how I'm wearing it today) it produces a Blue Crush surfer-girl look. It would also work with smoky eyes for a mod look or with bronzey shades for a J. Lo look (this is the first "J. Lo nude" I've ever been able to wear!). The scent is a very strong, sweet honey-coffee (the coffee fades out but the honey scent sticks around for a LONG time) - doesn't bother me, but if you have a problem with strongly scented lip products you'll want to pass on this one.

Overall I'm very pleased! I'd be interested to see the other colors in the range, and would buy more if they were wearable shades. Hope this review helped someone.
