Advantages: Great natural colours, pumped-up feeling, a little goes a long way!
Disadvantages: Sticky, boyfriend may refuse to kiss you to avoid gloss on his lips!
I have bought this lip gloss in two colours - the clear gloss and the more natural brown/blush, and think they are great value for money!
The gloss is very thick, and gives great coverage. It is long-lasting and the colours are more natural than the vibrant reds and pinks that are in fashion at the moment. No fear if you like strong colours though - I simply applied a red lipstick first, then applied the gloss over the top (be warned though, the wand will turn red...and eventually the gloss in the tube will discolour using this method!).
I am a BIG fan of glosses and balms so I was looking for something long-lasting that wouldn't stain my lips or be too sticky and result in me ending ending up with hair-in-gloss syndrome! Unfortunately this lip-gloss will result in major sticky hair, as it is very, very gooey. It hasn't stopped me buying another tube though, because I think it does exactly what it says on the 'tin' - give a pumped up, fuller pout. If I am honest I am a little unsure whether the tingly feeling you get from applying such projects is more placebo (you are more aware of your lips feeling tingly, so therefore they feel more pumped up?), as a pose to ACTUALLY looking any bigger, but I like the tingles...!
The major problem about the gloss though, is that my boyfriend flat-out refuses to kiss me whilst i'm wearing it! He isn't Sally Hansen specific, he hates all gloss; but this is his personal nemesis! He hates the sticky feeling on his lips so I can really only wear it when I'm going out without him (on a day with NO WIND so I don't have to spend ages picking my hair out of my gloss!).
All in all, I think it is a great product, but only if you can cope with the thickness of the gloss, and the associated problems that come with that!
Summary: Great product, but very thick.
