This is a HG for me. I keep one in my bag, everywhere I go.
This is a great chapstick/ lip gloss/ lip tint/ breath fresher.
I know some people say it's too light in color, but I like it that way. It's more natural. It's not completely clear. Just a hint of color & shine.
If you think it’s too light, they do make this in other darker shades. But No. 1136 is definitely for those who seek a natural look.
I use this during all 4 seasons. The Tube packaging makes it so that you can use it year round, regardless of the heat or cold. (If you leave it in the car, it just means that it will be a little more liquefied than usual. If you left it out in the cold, it will most likely harden just a little bit.
The texture is very smooth and it’s instant freshness! It’s a little sticky, but it’s not your usual gloss sticky.
A little goes a long way with this item. I am on my second one, and it’s been a year since I started this one.
I admit the price is high though. I got these when it was free with a purchase at bbw. At best, I would pay half price for it, but definitely not retail. Not that it’s not worth it, but I just don’t think ANY of BBW’s stuff should be bought at retail. Lol.
Good luck!

Love this gloss, not too much color, not sticky, great taste, freshens your breath. I wish they would make this in spearmint, which I like betther than peppermint. Overall great gloss!

I like this product and love the smell and feel that it has. I agree with other people that it freshens your breath and that the color is almost nude, that is not a problem for me I actually like the natural look that is not too glossy or sticky. It is ok for everyday use, not too much if you want to achieve great color in your lips.

Not pigmented enough and my lips peeled horribly. Nice smell and feel, but it couldn't do the job. I will not be repurchasing.

Nice lip balm; not really a gloss as I think of a gloss, cause it doesn't really have any color I can see on my lips. But I love the taste and feel of it. Nice lip conditioner and very reasonably priced for what you get.

This product does feel nice on the lips - but I wish the company would skip calling this a tinted gloss. There's almost NO color payoff, and the product doesn't deliver that much gloss, either. It feels nice, and I like the minty tingle, but there are other anti-chap products out there that do the same thing. I won't repurchase, and I'm glad I got these BOGO.

I got it on sale, almost half the price. The color on the tube is very pretty, but I thought it was too sheer for my liking. Love the minty feel of the gloss and the fact that it's not too sticky. It feels very smooth on the lips, which I really like. I wish it would last longer.

Nice alternative to chapstick. Wore off a little too quickly for my liking. Nice color and texture. Very smooth. I especially love the minty tingle it delivers!

Really pretty nude color, with exceptional shine. No glitter, which is a plus for me. actually makes your breath smell minty and fresh. definitely worth it for just $3 during the BBW sales

This stuff is delicious and 1136 is just the right color for applying without a mirror. My only beef is that it wears off quickly so I took off a lippie for that, plus it's a bit expensive. But like I said, it's easy to reapply and perfect to throw in my bag and it tastes wonderful.

I use this lip gloss constantly! It has a great tingling mint sensation that I love, and gives my lips an awesome amount of shine. Also, most importantly, it does a great job preventing or soothing chapped lips. I swear by this product and can't be without it.

Love this product. I live in Canada where this line is not available, but I managed to pick up a few of these at Bath and Body Works at the Atlanta airport on my way to SC. I absolutely love the flavour of this, it tastes sweet but has a minty fresh scent that cools and freshens your breath. I got this for 5 dollars a pop because there was a buy 2, get 1 free deal. I will definitely purchase more of these next time I'm travelling.

I love this stuff, I only wish I could buy it in Canada. It is so silky, and not sticky at all. I love the hint of mint, the way it makes my lips slightly tingle, and freshens your breathe. This color is so sublte, but I really love all the colors.

First of all, I have to say that I LOVE this stuff! The texture is wonderfully silky and the color (only a slight tint really) is gorgeous. It is almost universally complimentary to any makeup look that you happen to be sporting. The lasting power is so-so, I'm not going to lie. It isn't wonderful but it isn't terrible either. However, I LOVE that it is very moisturizing even after the shine has worn off. It is more moisturizing than a lot of balms I own, even. It has the mentha-shine peppermint scent and tingly-ness, but I'm sure that is a given. :) It's perfect for everyday casual wear, since it goes with nearly everything and takes good care of your lips.

I love this stuff for everyday use and is great as an alternative to chapstick because it's very sheer and imparts just a hint of pink to the lips. Keep it in your purse because it's one of those products that gets regular use.

My friend got this for me as a gift and I love it!
Pros:
- Great glossy, sheer pink color that looks great on my NC25 complexion
- Moisturizes my dry, chapped lips like nothing else!
- Larger than average chapstick but still easy and small enough to carry around everywhere
- Leaves lips with a pleasant tingling sensation
Cons:
- The menthol scent is really strong and tends to get everywhere..teeth, tongue, etc. (It DOES say that it freshens breath but still, feels weird!)
- I don't like the applicator; would rather have a sponge or brush or something, but it's ok.
Will repurchase!

I bought 4 tube of this lip gloss just because I love it that much. I get so many compliments on this lip gloss, it is as good or even better than many of the high end lip gloss out there. The color is a lovely nude pink that looks natural with any kind of make up. It has a fresh minty taste thats suppose to freshen your breath. The best part about this lip gloss is that it goes on super smooth, my lips tend to dry out under the best of lip glosses except for this one. I always reach for this lip gloss whenever I put on make it.

I have to say that this product really impressed me. compared to the mentholated Burts Bees lip tints, I must say I like these better. Lovely mint tingle, and sweet yummy flavour. I was slightly disappointed with the color at first, but it really perks up my face and looks radiant. Although I don't see it as "nude". These are not sticky at all, however the lasting power is less than I'd like- maybe an hour.

I can see how this would have a cult following. I am now a fan.Sheer natural color with a mint flavor and cool mint tingle. Keeps lips moisturized well. Would recommend.
