Moisturizing, Long-Lasting, Sheer Tint

I'm usually not fond of lip glosses because of how sticky they feel on the lips, but this one is one of the least sticky ones I've used thus far. When it sets, it doesn't feel slippery; it sits on the lips comfortably and hides dry, chapped areas really well for hours. I wouldn't say that this isn't sticky at all; I can still feel it when I smack my lips together, but the stickiness is truly, barely noticeable. The gloss lasts about 4 hours (2 during the dry seasons) on my dry lips before it disappears, but it does keep my lips moisturized throughout wear.

This is also definitely a sheer lip gloss, as I've noticed when swatching deeper shades like Currant. It's great for natural lips with a tint of color, or as a topper for lipsticks. Mango has a slightly shimmery, orange tint and is great on its own or layered over a lipstick, especially dark ones as it shifts the shade warm and adds a little sparkle on it.

Just shine no pigment

This is not the same consistency as the balm in the green tube sold in their skin care line. This is a little thicker but thankfully not sticky. It provides excellent shine and is super moisturizing. The gloss dispenses from the squeeze tube easily and a little goes a long way. *Here's the but* But... The applicator tip of the vessel stars to smell a little weird so I have to clean it and the cap well about once a week. lol. I have purchased these in the past but I probably won't, moving forward. I'll stick with the original green tube.
