SUBTLE, REFINED, AND VERY FLATTERING!

Love all of the items in Laura Mercier's spring collection - Sheer Madness. "Sheer" is the operative word here - the makeup is subtle, refined and very flattering.

The stick gloss rates a ten and all A's from me. What's not to like about a lip treatment that soothes, smooths, plus adds color and fullness? Stick gloss is a combination of lip balm, lip color, and lip glaze - a three in one winner.

My favorite colors are Peony, a deep rose, and Poppy, a festive crimson. When applied each color is much sheerer than the tube color indicates. For instance, the Peony appears to be a burgundy tone yet on the lips it is a lovely rose.

Perfect warm weather tones.

Great color pay-off, great moisturizing capabilities but minus one star for being perfumed....
My lips tend to dry out easily and thus I was on the prowl for a nice, moisturizing lip-stick. I found what I was looking for in these!

PRICE: These are $20 for .12 ounces of product. That's definitely on the expensive side given how little product you get but I have yet to find a similar product on the market.

PACKAGING: These come in Laura Mercier's signature brown sparkly packaging. The gloss itself is in lipstick tube form.

FEEL: These feel extremely light on your lips. They provide a decent amount of shine/sheen but they don't make your lips look wet like many glosses do. They are silky and smooth and, in my opinion, are like a very heavily tinted lip-balm. These do not dry out my lips the way many lipsticks do.

COLOR: These are pretty highly pigmented for something billed as a gloss. They can last for up to 4 hours..depending on whether you've had anything to drink or you lick your lips often. I own Brown Sugar, Purple Haze and Rosewater. Brown Sugar is a neutral peachy/pinky/brown color and I think would be good for women with medium complexions and yellow undertones (I am fair-skinned and this comes out a little too brown on me). Purple Haze is a blue-based soft plum with subtle silver sparkles and Rosewater is a bright strawberry pink that is good for Spring and Summer.

COMPLAINTS: My only complaint is that these are perfumed- which is why I took off one star. I would liken the scent to a flowery-pineapple...I know that sounds strange but I sniffed a few times and that is what it smells like to me! It's not offensive by any means but it IS noticeable and you can taste it.

ARE THESE WORTH IT? I think so. Despite not liking the fact that these are heavily perfumed, I would buy again if I saw a color that really interested me.

Perfect color and perfect texture
I have very sensitive skin and lips and this product doesn't irritate them at all. It moisturizes them a little, not drying. The color is perfect too. It is a little brighter than my own lips (I am fair) with a tiny bit of sparkle. I've been wearing it every day and I've gotten lots of complements. I don't need any liner with it or gloss.
