Good longlasting lipgloss. Perfect for summer! I really love the corally colour. It's a bit sticky but I don't mind. The only con is that it spoils really fast, I had my last tube for just a few months when it started smelling really bad. I love it so much that I'm prepared to give it another try. Will update in the future.

I wouldn't wear this on its own as not bright enough but I love the feel of it on my lips - stays on a long time and I wear this over Revlon Lip Bitten stain and I just reapply over stain and always have colour. Love it

I like this product a lot, but it is really sticky, so you can only put on a little at a time. It's also very glittery, so if you put too much on, it looks really weird.

This is the closest I can get to doing a "red lip". Any lip product with the slightest hint of red usually looks like a hot mess on me, but this is perfect. I also pair it with NYC's lipstick in #406 Garnet and they are beautiful together.

I am overall a lipstick person and lip gloss are just too sticky for me. however i got it as gwp, i'm in love with it and went on to get a full size tube after i've gone through half of the gwp. the color is great, as it's very close to my lip color only better and with a hint of glitter and shine. it's not as greasy as other lip gloss, still sticky but last for a really long time, even after drinks! Besides, it doesn't smell! well it does have a slight tinge of plastic smell, but that's totally fine cuz a thin coat is all i need in hours.
so far, i think THIS IS THE ONLY LIP GLOSS I WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN

Pretty nice packaging, it looks very clean cut and the stopper is pretty good, not messy, although there is a bit of extra residue at the tip of the doe foot applicator that you may wish to watch out for.
The colour is gorgous, a sultry pinkish, red with some shimmer.
Although the product itself it is a bit sticky, it's VERY long lasting and moisturizing, will definitely repurchase..

The color of this gloss is really beautiful! Peachy-pink. Very glossy, with a little shimmer. It is sticky, as the other reviewers say, but the color is so pretty that I don't mind.... The color is very flattering to my fair skin, brown hair. I imagine this will look great on most people.

What a lovely gloss! I received this as a GWP and I would normally not purchase a HE gloss, I usually just make do with drugstore. But this one has changed my mind. I love the color of this on me (NC15) it's a shimmery pink/red color. It does last longer than my other glosses and the packaging is very cute.. I am definately going to buy the full size when this runs out.

I also got this in a GWP and I absolutely love it. I am always looking for lippies with SPF, and this is a perfect gloss for summertime with the warm sparkles and high shine. It is a little sticky, but no worse than MAC lipglasses. It does stay on longer than most glosses. I will repurchase this when my GWP tube runs out.

I have stayed away from long last lipsticks and glosses for years because I experienced skin sensitivity and extreme drying from such products in the past. I'm glad I was brave enough to try this one though--it doesn't irritate my lips or the skin around my mouth, doesn't feel too heavy or plasticky and does last longer than normal glosses. The colour is very flattering, classy and suitable for day wear or at night as part of a more glamorous look. I would repurchase and will check out some of the other colors as well. One lippie off because this doesn't stay on anywhere near as long as advertised (although realistically no gloss will see you through a meal).

I got this gloss as part of the latest Clinque bonus and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be a little sticky/tacky, but as long as you don't slather it on, it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't noticed any significant taste/smell to the product and I appreciate the SPF 15 and a colour that is flattering on most skin tones. I will definitely be purchasing this one when my sample runs out!

If you find this product to be too sticky, then you are probably using way too much. Remember, it's a gloss so GLOSS OVER your lips, don't lather it on like vaseline on a baby's bottom!


Lasts for hours (until you eat or drink) and as far as I'm concerned, it has no taste.

The color is sheer, shiny, shimmery pink. It goes on pretty thick but is comfortable. It lasts longer than most of my other glosses too. The problem with this gloss though is the taste. There's an awful taste to it that really bothers me. For that reason alone, I will not buy this again.

I love this gloss for the colour and the SPF. I am medium olive in skintone and this colour works for me and would probably work for different skintones as well. The consistancy leaves much to be desired - it goes on thick and sticky and stays that way. Maybe this is a feature of long-last gloss in general? I can live with it, however, and think it's worth it for the pretty shades and sun protection.

I second (third?!) the first two reviews - and have the same colour experience with this as the second reviewer - although I turn most lip colours pink, this stays quite reddish-gold on me. It's a lovely burnished coppery colour in fact that doesn't look muddy and has a nice, fairly obvious, golden shimmer. The staying power is pretty good (not as good as my beloved and discontinued Pout glosses...) and it's very comfortable and non-drying. It's quite sticky but I don't have a problem with that. My only (minor) beef is with the plasticky taste.
Nice gloss, I'll get more colours.

Don't get me wrong, I love Clinique, however...

On a whim, I popped over to my local counter to take this stuff for a test drive and boy am I glad I tried before I bought! This is the stickiest, most uncomfortable gloss I have ever put on. It actually made my lips stick together and left strands of gloss when I parted them. Yuck! The colors are lovely and the packaging is as classy as ever. Sadly this product gets 1 lippie from me :(

I just got this color yesterday and my review is slightly different from the previous one. In fact, her review sparked me to buy this, but it does look different on me. Anyway, I like this better than the old Cream Soda color, I felt it was a little too muddy and/or dark on my PPP NW15 skin. Bonfire, on my pale pink lips actually shows up as a sheer brownish/red/rose with golden glimmer rather than a medium pink. It probably sounds similar to Kittyskyfish's review but it does not look that pinky on me. This is odd because of the review and pic and because I turn all lip colors pink! I couldn't get a good picture unfortunately. But this is a great warm-colored lipgloss. It is very pretty on my pale skin and dyed red hair. This does have some pretty noticable shimmer. As far as lasting power, I didn't think it last much more then 3-4 hours. Which is excellent imo, but for those expecting 8+ hours of wear, don't get your hopes up. The color is slightly sheer, but I find the quality and texture much more appealing than any other Clinique glosses. You can taste a hint of the sunscreen, but it doesn't bother me personally. There is a good color selection and I think it is great that they revamped some of the glosses. Overall, I would recommend this color but try it on to make sure it gives you the color you want!

This is a dupe for Cream Soda, the popular shade from the color surge impossibly glossy line. The shade is a sheer neutral rose with golden glimmer - it's very wearable and would work with most skin tones. the finish is beautiful and lasts quite a while. I applied it at 1:00 p.m. and the color and shine lasted for hours, until I ate supper at 5:30 p.m. Then it did wear down quite a bit. It holds its finish best if you don't eat or drink - but that's expected of any lip product. There are some drawbacks: the texture is somewhat sticky and tastes a bit of sunscreen (the sunscreens are octinoxate 7.5% and octisalate 4.0%). I don't mind either too much but I prefer a smoother texture. That said, I love this shade enough to purchase and ignore the stickiness and I appreciate the added SPF. :) Recommendable and will repurchase.
