I bought a mini of this in the shade 06 Rosewood Shimmer. This shade is a like a neutral beige brown with a hint of pink. This looks like a pretty nude gloss on me. I think this shade would look good on most light to medium skin colors. The thing I like about this gloss is it's not sticky, it's very moisturizing and feels really comfortable on the lips. The shimmery sheen gives my lips a fuller looking appearance. The mini I have is comes in a small handy 5ml tube with a silver cap and there's a cotton doe foot applicator that is attached to the tube. I found that this does fade from looking like a gloss to looking like a lip balm within about two three hours. It doesn't seem to hardly transfer but then this shade isn't really dark or pigmented. I think this is a really good comfortable lip gloss. The only thing I don't really like about this gloss is that I looked up the ingredients on the international site and which listed a lot of good, natural ingredients that were supposedly in the formula - shea butter, licorice, wild mango, olive perhydrosqualene and rice bran oil. I looked up the ingredients list in Nordstrom for this gloss and the only ingredient I could find of the above list was the shea butter. So I just feel that's rather dishonest of the company to claim or list those ingredients as if they are in the product and they aren't in the formula. I'm not really a gloss girl usually go for lipstick but this is a gloss I find comfortable, easy and convenient to wear.

Tips: If you are a fan of lip gloss this is a comfortable, non sticky moisturizing gloss. I like to apply this over exfoliated lips. This product doesn't have spf but if you are going out in the evening and you could get away with not using a lip balm prior to applying this product since it's so moisturizing.
I received this in a gift set from my Husband at Christmas. Shade 01, it's a slightly sticky, light pink glossy gel. Nice strawberry fragrance, can be worn by itself or over lipstick. Nice little pink tube with a gold screw top and slanted cotton applicator attached to the top of the tube. Easy to use and I like it. A bit pricey being Clarins, but nice to treat yourself or someone else.
I spotted this on sale on the beautyselect website for $26 so snapped one up. This is raved about on YouTube so my expectations were pretty high!
The shade 01 is a pale pink-peach with a slightly sticky consistency and a gorgeous super sweet smell. The soft cotton covered applicator is slanted to allow a precise application. I found this lasted a couple hours on my lips.
While this is nice as far as a tinted balm/gloss goes- it is just a gloss, and a little overpriced one at that (at full price at least). This shade is probably not quite pigmented enough for me; is probably a shade or two lighter than my natural lip colour. In saying that however I seem to be reaching for this and ignoring my other glosses lately. Its so quick and easy, and is great on top of a too pink lipstick to bring the intensity back a bit. It is quite nourishing on the lips also. At the special price I would be keen to pick up another more pigmented shade so will hunt down some swatches online.
