Advantages: Dewy colour, very long lasting, unbeatable shine

Disadvantages: Extremely sticky

My opinion on this lip gloss is slightly divided. Certainly this lip gloss has beautiful colour; Sunset Strip seems to be the best selling colour with its vibrancy (said to be loved by Hollywood stars) although I tended towards Babe and Scandal, both more clear reddish colours.
The case is simple enough; the main body with a cloudy effect and a black top that clicks when closed (for peace of mind).
Because this lip gloss is quite sheer, you should take your natural lip colour into consideration. This lip gloss does have plenty of pigment but it doesn't seem to be strong enough to just ignore and override the natural colour.
The best thing about this lip gloss would have to be its glossiness; it creates a glass like reflective surface on your lips making your lips appear flawless, plump and dewy. This gloss is probably the only match for the famous Bobbi Brown lip gloss, I think.
However, there is a crucial downside to this lip gloss. It is simply just too sticky. Yes, once you put on, you don't feel it so much on your lips but come wind (which, being in England, does inevitably happen quite often) and, providing you have long enough hair, it's all hair on lips day. This can really annoy the life out of me to the extent that I would actually carry this gloss to put on indoors and STAY indoors. If you try touching the lip gloss with your finger tips you'll undoutedly see what I mean since this gloss really is exceptionally sticky even on hand (I need liquid soap to get it off properly). It does seem to set a bit on your lips with time though.
Plus, given the fact that this lip gloss comes with a doe foot applicator, it is not the easiest thing in the world to apply evenly. It may have worked better with a brush.
On the other hand, this does mean that it lasts. Oh yes. If you don't eat something major, it should last you pretty much for the whole 9.00 to 17.00 working day.

Summary: For those with short hair, or patience
