Gloss and lipstick in one - LOVE! This sheer gloss stick gives your lips extreme shine and drenches your lips in moisture. This is a great gloss stick on-the-go when you want a lot of shine and sheer colour. I love the way it feels on the lips, although I wish the moisturizing factor lasted longer. I have Iced Lychee, a sheer pinky-coral that gave my lips a bit of colour, but I prefer using it over top of a stain for more colour and moisture. While I've become a fan of this gloss stick, I'm not sure I would pay $30 USD for a sheer lip colour!
