I have purchased four different colours of this gloss, one being a repurchase of the shade 1395 (Nude Beach). I love everything about this gloss! It has a comfortable feel, wears well, and has no gritty texture to the more sparkly shades. The smell and flavour is enjoyable, subtle and vanilla similar to Mac. I also love the pretty packaging and that the plumping ingredients don’t irritate my skin very much. While the pigmentation is more sheer than buxom I find the formula of this gloss to be very comparable. It is less pigmented, little less sticky, and thankfully, less tingly. I find the plumping results to be very minimal. I find the size of the doefoot applicator and wand to be ideal. There’s plenty of product inside for the price, the shades are pretty, and work perfectly overtop of lipstick. I’m happy with my purchase and rarely like anything enough to repurchase but this is a new staple!

I'm reviewing the newer packaging in the shade Crush On You. It's a standard tingling peppermint feel gloss with good pigment and excellent shine. Not very sticky at all. It does remind me (even the scent) of the Goldie glosses that used to be sold in Bath and Body Works--which was also made by the founders of Hard Candy! Sometimes things come around again in the beauty industry.

I have this gloss in the updated geometric packaging and rose gold cap in the shade Dirty Mind. It appears to be a nice muted dusty purple shade in the tube, but is very very sheer on the lips. For that reason, I would not recommend it. If you are looking for a sheer gloss, this could be an option for you though. It lasts an average amount of time and is pretty glossy on the lips. It does bleed into lip lines, but it doesn't matter as much because it is sheer. The plumping effect is not noticeable, but there is a slight tingle.

I stumbled upon the 2018 version of this lip gloss, and I decided to try the clear shade called It Girl. I've been reluctant to try any more Hard Candy lip glosses due to my previous experiences with them, but the reviews I've read convinced me to try it again. I'm pleasantly surprised! It's not sticky, yet it's not too watery. You might not feel any tingling at first, but it will a couple minutes after applying. I wouldn't say this plumps my lips that much, but it's still a really nice and affordable lip gloss. I like the new geometric packaging with the rose gold cap. I've heard from a couple reviews that some colors may have a different consistency than others, so you may have a difference experience if you buy a different shade.

Crush on you is a unique coralish pink that is really flattering. It's nice and pigmented so what you see in the tube is what actually shows up on your lips which I appreciate. My lips are already full so I can't comment on the plumping aspect but it does tingle and feel cool apon application. I would definitely buy this again because most coral glosses I've come across are too sheer or neon or orange. This is perfect.

I quite like the color and shine of this gloss, but there isn't much plumping action. I bought the pale pink shade, and it looks wonderful on its own or over a lipstick...the problem is that I use lip plumpers as treatments. This plumper tingled a little bit, but there was little - if any - actual plumping going on. It has a small doe-footed applicator and I am able to control how much gloss (I refuse to call this a plumper) I put on my lips. Overall, I may buy this again for how pretty it looks on my lips, but I'm going back to another plumper to use as a lip treatment. Three stars for applicator, color and shine, knocking off two stars because it doesn't really plump.

Overall I really love the product. I feel as if it does gives me a cute little plump to my lips. I also love the smell and shimmer. I recently purchased "Girl Next Door 150" and it is amazing. Its a very cute color on my and its overall a great lip product in my eyes.

This is a beautiful lipgloss. I got "Lion Tamer", which is a shimmery sort of tawny shade. It's very subtle and looks beautiful over a stain, but still nice alone. It smells delicious and has a nice tingle, but I don't see much plumping action to be perfectly honest. However, it is my current favorite lipgloss. It's not greasy or overly sticky and lasts longer than many I have tried.
