This product is one oy me must have. It's a great gloss, it's non-sticky, it gives a beautiful shine, and, it taste good! The colors are beautiful too
I like the gloss! I do however, have a few qualms with it which I will tell you about later.
Nude is a dusty rose with a very fine golden pearl which gives it an absolutely incredible sense of depth and dimension when swatched.
I didn't feel any stickiness from this gloss; as an experiment I threw my own hair into my face and it didn't stick to my lips!
In terms of wear time, it is quite a thin gloss with a lot of slip and as a result has a shorter wearing time than a MAC gloss.
On application, you'll feel the minty tingle that is typical of all plumping glosses, but this feeling goes away after a few minutes. I can't speak much as to its plumping properties as I don't have very thin lips where plumping might be more evident, but I can tell you it didn't give me Angelina's lips.
The reason why I only LIKE this gloss and not LOVE it is because it tastes really really REALLY bad. Think an odd fruity smell, mixed with toothpaste, plus liquorice! Ewwwwww! I HATE LIQUORICE! I kid you not, that's what it tastes like! Well to me anyway. The taste will gradually get less potent after 10 or 20 minutes but seriously in the beginning, I feel like I'm being forced to drink Chinese herbal medication T.T
I picked up "Nude" and refuse to wear anything else. It goes on with a hint of peachy (which I actually don't like) but after a minute or two mutes into just a pale pinky color that is really flattering for my fair skin tone. It has minimal taste/smell and feels quite moisturizing. I also really like the applicator brush.
I have never used a lip plumper before, so I didn't know what to expect with this one. I must say that I don't feel like my lips are really fuller looking; if anything, the gloss itself lends a plumpy look (as do most glosses). I love it for the color and wearability, not plumpiness (is that a word?). I shudder a little at the price tag, but this would definitely go on my Christmas list!
I also have "Amour" that I received in the Chicks Night Out swag bag. It's a fun fuschia color that would be perfect for a night out. I'm not sure how well it would work with warm skin tones (I have cool), but it's another great choice for me.
