I have a love/hate relationship with this gloss.
I think the formula is gorgeous, the colour (Kitten) is lovely and the shimmer is subtle and very flattering. The scent is a refined vanilla, which I love and the finish is very smooth and not in the least bit sticky. Like most non-sticky glosses, it doesn't last for ages - but I can get a good two hours if I'm not eating or drinking anything.
The downside? The price. I think it's obnoxiously overpriced, especially considering how deceptive the packaging is.. you don't get much for your money at all. As much as I love this gloss, I'd never pay full price for it again.

It's a very rich, moisturizing formula that can be worn on it's own or under your lipstick or gloss of choice. I don't need to use much at all, though I find if you put too much of the lighter colours on they can look a bit too pale (for my liking). There is a sheer tint to each of these that scale to their respective colour.. Guava is a pale yellow, whereas Jasmine is a pale pink and Mango is a hot coral. Each one is scented according to it's name, and I feel like the scents come across as very organic - unless some scents that are more artificial.
I find the price $13 (CAD) to be a bit high for a lip balm, but they're often sold in sets of three or as a part of value kits - which makes them easily affordable.
