I have the shade Pink Coral, which they describe as a "sheer matte coral". When they say matte, I think they just mean a non-shimmer, cream finish formula. This gloss certainly is not matte, but the color Pink Coral does not have any shimmer in it.
I like the shade, although it is close to clear on my lips. These glosses are sheer, so don't expect a lot of pigmentation from them, but the color wash is pretty and because they're sheer they'd make for great purse glosses (aka, glosses you can just pull out and apply without a mirror, and they sort of go with anything). This shade is very sheer, and depending on your natural lip pigmentation this gloss may not give you much, if any, color pay off. In person it appears nearly clear on my lips, but I can definitely notice the coral-pink hue to it. If it had shimmer in it, it would probably be more noticeable but because this is a cream shade this does look very natural in tone on my lips. I think I may want to try Ravish, which appears to have the most pigmentation, but then again Nudist seems like it would be a great topper shade!
I did feel like it kind of applied a bit weird. There wasn't much product on the applicator, so you have to re-dip your wand to get more product on your lips. It also sort of skipped across my lips when I applied it - but maybe it was just because my lips were on the dry side. It didn't feel all that hydrating on my lips, and even felt a bit drying. As long as I wear a lip balm underneath this gloss I'm good to go. They're non-sticky and have a nice shine to them.
Because it is a lip gloss made with all-natural, good-for-you ingredients, I find it has that same sort of cardboard like taste - pretty much the same taste that the Pacifica Coconut Kiss Creamy Lip Butter had. I don't really mind it, because it kind of goes away and it's good for those that don't like sweet or bakery scented lip products.
Overall, I think it's a nice gloss. It didn't blow me away, and I wasn't in love with the formula but it was just okay. Since these are sheer, I wouldn't recommend these glosses if you're looking for color on your lips. But it is a nice, natural lip gloss option if you like sheer formulations.
Now let me know what you think...
