I love this tinted lip gloss! It's a beautiful nude coral shade. It gives a natural tint to your lips, which is great for days when you want a bit of color, but nothing too bright. I prefer natural looking lips, so I love this; if you are looking for more color, this isn't for you. It's also very moisturizing for a lip gloss, so you don't feel like you are drying out your lips. Also the minty scent and tingle is fabulous!

This is my HG lipgloss! its fairly sheer, but goes with every lipstick i wear, i dont wear pinks, so its amazing! Its minty, and my lips always tingle after application. Not sticky either! Its not the longest lasting, Nothing compared to mac's staying power. I LOVE it! I have 5, i got them all on a 75% off!

This lip gloss will forever be in my heart!

Like the original Mentha Lip Shine, this tinted gloss is one of my favourites! It is shiny, tastes and smells great, has decent staying power, and has a fantasic non-sticky texture and consistency. The colour is a light, pinky-nude coral shade, with a very subtle shimmer that makes this gloss my favourite tinted lip product! Definitely recommend and will repurchase again and again!

These were my HG until I discovered Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipgloss, but now that it's winter, RSL just doesn't cut it anymore, so I went back to this. I LOVE the color, gives my lips a very nice tint, the shimmer is not OTT, and the glossiness is just perfect. It smells awesome and taste pretty good. My first time buying it, I got it on a sale for about $5 each (otherwise, the are $7.50 each), but now I buy them in 'bulk' on Ebay for about $2 each. Will continue to repurchase.
Note: I transfer it into a RSL empty tube, and I LOVE it even more, the application doesn't come out as thick like when I use the tube it comes in.

This is my HG lip balm! Funny thing is i just got it a week ago and i cant put it down! There isnt much color to it which doesnt bother me b/c i use this as after work or on my days of when im not wearing lipstick/gloss. It has a minty smell and taste, but not the gross toothpaste kind more of a sweet minty-ness. A little goes a long way and this lasts on your lips forever! Best of all is it is suppper moisturizng and leaves my lips crazy soft. Iam going back to BBW to pick up some more so im never w/o it! GO GET THIS YOU WONT REGRET IT!

I reeeeeally love this lipgloss. It's pretty thick & the staying power is AWESOME. I put this on, took a shower, got dressed, and it was still on my lips! I'll never get tired of the "minty" feeling when I put this on. It is sheer, but that's fine with me. The price isn't bad - it's a pretty good-sized tube. I will definitely buy this again!

The color is pretty and sheer, plus it leaves a great minty tingle on my lips and is very smooth in taste and texture. These also come on sale all the time, so grab them when you can. I also have the pink mint one and that is nice too. They leave a glossy, wet look, so if you like that type of look, these are a good one to try.

I like this lip treatment a lot... b/c it is so sheer, I usually slick on a coral-colored lipstick underneath to bring out the color of this product. The tingly sensation is wonderful as is the minty flavoring. I enjoy the whole line and I like coral a lot, but my favorite is the magenta shade. It depends on your complexion and what look you're going for, but coral is a very nice color too!

I really like this gloss! Wonderful, cooling tingle. Nice texture. Great smell.
This isn't really going to add any color to your lips, but just provide a nice sheen. I wasn't looking for much color payoff, so I'm perfectly happy with it. I'll re-purchase when I hit a great sale or if I run out.

i am writing the same review for all the mentha lip tints that i have (i have all but the bare mint). same review applies to all...

only Pro's, NO cons!
- extreme shine, almost liquid-like. more shine than juicy tubes, lipglass, etc
- not sticky
- fresh taste. some glosses are scented but have no taste/taste awful. this has much less taste than the ultra mentha/cinnament mentha etc, but if you do get a taste, it is pleasant
- thick, smooth applicator fills out lips beautifully. not streaky or uneven
- applicator stays clean
- relatively long wearing
- gentle tingle
- the color payoff varies from tube to tube. all are universally flattering, soft, and juicy
- i do not believe in "plumpers" (the only thing that will plump your lips is lip injections, period), but these definitely have an enhancing effect. your lips will look juicy
- i ALWAYS get compliments on these glosses. always.
- very reasonable price
- large size
- often on sale/special!

Blehhh...
I thought I was really going to like this. Everything about the gloss is great (texture, minty tingle, packaging, flavor..."
But there was no color. I know that it's a "lip tint" but it might as well been a clear gloss. I've been looking for the perfect coral shade but the color disappoints and barely shows up.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STUFF! i love the mentha lip shines in general, they're so minty fresh! they double as a breath mint too! and the tinted series is absolutely genius. minty fresh goodness with a sheer wash of colour! this coral is absolutely beautiful. it looks bright coral with subtle shimmer in the tube, but when applied its a lovely sheer, milky flush of peach. BEAUTIFUL! and such a wonderful tingly feeling! can't live without it!

absolutely no color added to my lip...a slight shimmer if i look really close, but I have all 5 of these colors, and not one is noticeable on my lips...goes on clear...and my complexion and lips are fairly pale..
with that being said tho...I love the no colors...that is why I like the Mentha line so much..the clear shine suits me, and with the minty flavor of double mint gum...so much better,
I would not buy again tho, because I prefer the menthas with a better flavor!!

Love the tints. These new ones are shimmery, but not at all glittery, making them a little more forgiving that the previous. They've also added a bunch of new tints. They're all gorgeous. I just wish CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shines had SPF. Then I wouldn't use anything else.

This is the first mentha lip tint I've really liked on me. Boosts my natural lip color in a nice way.

Absolutely delightful. A simple, beautiful shade that makes your lips super minty! I love reaching for this gloss when I just want a no fuss color and to freshen up my breath. And of course, the boyfriend loves it

1 of 5 new additions to the mentha tint line. Coral Mint is a creamy peachy apricot color in the tube. In person it is a creamier true peach color than the picture above and in my profile. This is the sheerist of the 5 colors and on my light to medium pigmented lips it is a soft, milky peach that doesn't wash me out like most milky colors do, but it is almost colorless. Same smooth, slightly sticky high gloss formula as the usual mentha glosses, but this has a more true peppermint scent and taste without the usual sweetness, which I do miss. Lasts a few hours if I don't eat/drink anything, wears off evenly. I haven't seen them available yet at BBW, but you can see/get them at bigelowchemists.com for $7.50.
