This stuff is pretty good, I'd give it 5 stars if it were thicker (like Bobbi Brown lip tints, which remain my HG). It just doesn't last quite long enough on me, and it also tends to migrate into my mouth and out of my lip line, which is why I'm sticking to BB for a tinted version. My lips still feel moist after it's mostly worn off, but then again I get the same result from BB. I didn't expect very much of it though when I bought it, I got it only because I looove tingly lip products. This lives up to that expectation, although I wish that the sensation would last a bit longer. It also tastes ridiculously sweet, which I wasn't expecting. I like this stuff for lounging around at home, or when I need to be in close proximity with someone else- it really lives up to its breath freshening claim. I also find this stuff extremely helpful for doing *ahem* things with my boyfriend. I'd buy this again, only if it's on sale.

I absolutely love this stuff. My favorite lip gloss ever. Everything has already been said - it's wonderfully moisturizing, extremely shiny, and tastes amazing - a lip balm, gloss, and breath mint in one. Genius! I bought this last week on sale at Bath and Body works for $5.00.

I LOVE this stuff! I'd heard it was better than the original, and everyone who said that was absolutely right. I got this for free with a coupon today at BBW, and I couldn't be happier that I picked this for my free gloss. It's shiny, refreshing, and tastes great. I know I shouldn't lick off my gloss (because that totally defeats the purpose of having applied it), but this stuff really tempts me. I would definitely buy this once I run out of my free tube. This is the quintessential mint lip product!

I usually loathe mint, but these are different. Minty yet sweet and totally yummy. This one is such a great clear gloss and uberminty yet not in the usual sharp, sourt, nasty kind of way. This has become a staple for me. My only complaint is they don't last long enough, but putting on more is such a treat I don't mind at all.

I bought this with such an ulterior motive. I already had 4 Mentha lip shines, but most of them were tinted. I now use this on dates. Constantly. My technique to make this kiss-ready is to apply a very thin layer (do it in front of a mirror) and then lick some off, rub your lips together, and it becomes just a small amount of moisture on lips instead of gloss. Tastes incredible. Can't even tell you the reactions I've gotten, but they've been good! Plus, the tube is of excellent quality and design, and I can frequently get these for five dollars instead of $7.50.

I keep a good stock of this stuff on-hand. It is AWESOME.....long-lasting and tastes SO delicious and fresh. It is a big improvement on the original Mentha Lip Gloss. The minty-taste is SO fresh. This stuff is one of my HG lip glosses that I NEVER go without. Excellent to apply after eating to help freshen breath and make lips look and feel wonderful!!!

I was at BBW looking for a replacement for my Bliss Shock Therapy body wash when I happened upon other tingly minty type products. I have a feeling that BBW staff have quotas that need to be filled but I digress. This product comes in a green tube with a slanted tip, screw on lid which makes it easy for an on-the-go application, sans mirror. The tingly sensation wears off quickly and so does any moisturizing quality. There is no SPF in it. I picked up 3 of these for $15. Haven't figured out what I will do with the other two yet. I prefer the Rosebud Salve which actually has a long lasting moisturizing quality or the BB lip tint which also has SPF and the easy use applicator. Sorry BBW, no go for me.

I absolutely love this product! MY HG of clear glosses. I got it on sale for $5 at B&BW. It's a good replacement for my BonneBell Enticemint in Peppermint (which also had that ultra-strong menthol taste, but was a bit too sticky). I'm a big fan of peppermint, so the super-strong minty taste is perfect. It's not too sticky, has great lasting power, and tastes great to boot! What more could a girl want in a lipgloss?

I got this yesterday because it was on sale 3 for $15 so me and my sis and my friend each got one and i love it! It's not very long lasting, but I love the cool sensation and it's not sticky and the shine is good. I think a tinted one might be a little better, but this stuff is great.

This was a free B&BW coupon item and I'm so glad I got it. It became my after- lunch gloss. The minty smell and cool sensation gives you confidence even after onions! The shine and tingle last quite a while, giving your mouth a fresh feeling for hours.

I love this stuff. This is great for an everyday lip gloss. It's minty and actually has a fresh taste to it. It's not too glossy so you don't feel like your lips are a mirror. Also, it has a nice consistency. Not sticky like high end super shiny lip glosses. Definitly worth the buy.

This stuff is delicious. It really does freshen your breath--in addition to lushing up your lips. I know peppermint is supposed to be an irritant and I do try to avoid it when I can, but if loving this balm/gloss is wrong, I don't want to be right. Do yourself a favor and find out for yourself what all the fuss is about.

Yes, this seems to be a step up from the original Mentha Lip Shine. I pretty much love this product right now - it's got all the minty smell, tingling sensation, shiny gloss that the original lip shine has... only better! I'll definitely repurchase.

Love, Love, love the stuff! I have it in the soft pink color. It looks great on, feels like a balm (think Burts bees) yet looks like a gloss. Supposedly freshens your breath with the peppermint oil. For $7, my new favorite lip product~~~~

I was so sad when I lost my mentha lip shine that I went to the mall today, JUST to pick one of these up. LOL-yes that is how obsessed I am with this stuff. It tingles, leaves behind super shine, and even tastes good if it happens to get into your mouth. My lips are moisturized to the max. The ultra mentha is a bit stronger and more tingly than the normal mentha, but not by much. I love this and will continue to purchase over and over!
