One of My Favorites
 Date: April 22, 2013
"Great lip gloss! Favorite shade is Sheer Ruby. Looks a bit darker in the picture than it really is. A perfect shade that isn't too dark and looks great. Will order this item again."

Great lip gloss
 Date: February 18, 2013
"I'm really happy with the feel of this lip gloss. The color, Sheer Blossom, is pretty but a little light for me. The best thing is that this gloss is very moisturizing, a lot of glosses say they are, but this actually gets rid of chapped lips. It's got pretty good staying power. I'm going to order another one in a different color."

Pleasantly Surprised
 Date: October 1, 2012
"I never really thought of Origins as a cosmetics company, but I received this gloss in Sheer Ruby color as a free sample in another order. I was very pleasantly surprised! There is not too much color, but it is not too sheer, either. The texture is shiny but not too sticky, and it's not too glittery, as it might appear in the tube. It also stays on a long time, and it blends well with my skin tone, too. I will definitely buy again."

Great Lip Gloss
 Date: July 28, 2012
"I love this lip gloss. It has a great minty smell when it goes on and coats your lips but not so much that they feel like they have a lot of goop on them. It does stay on pretty well until you eat or drink but what gloss does stay on afterwards? I especially like that it's not sticky and my hair doesn't get stuck in it. I have the sheer passion color and it's a tad dark but looks great. Even though it looks like a squeeze tube, there's actually a wand for application which was a nice surprise."

Great product
 Date: June 10, 2012
"This lip gloss does what it's supposed to do. It provides a hint of color and seals in the lipstick that I have under it. The gloss doesn't have much staying power, and you have to reapply it after drinking or eating. It has a minty smell and makes your lips tingle for a minute. I received this as a sample, and then purchased one on my own. Fun to try and the right price."

Not so awesome
 Date: March 19, 2012
"Got a few tubes of this over the last several months and 2 of them are already going bad--have a funky smell and gross taste. Much happier with Liquid Lip Color and Rain and Shine. This stuff needs more perfecting."

Sheer Fig - Color Shown Not Accurate
 Date: March 18, 2012
Tags: any time
"I have this in Sheer Fig. Looks nothing like the swatch shown. The swatch shown looks more of a cool silvery taupe when in actuality it's a beautiful warm coppery brown shade. It goes on smooth and glossy with just a hint of sparkle. Light minty fragrance and just a touch of a cooling sensation. Color looks good with my medium pink lips, medium skin tone, brown eyes, and red brown hair. I'd like to try some of the other colors but am leery due to the inaccuracy of the color swatches and this is the reason I only gave it 4 stars. I'm a very frequent online buyer and colors have been dead-on accurate with other purchases, so not a monitor issue."

I do not recommend
 Date: February 27, 2012
"I purchased the sheer fruit punch which turned out to be twice as dark as the thumbnail pictured. I found the color displeasing, as well as, the quality. I am a huge fan of lip gloss and have a wide variety of brands to compare this one. The color faded fast and the texture was sticky and unappealing. I am a fan of Origins, however, this is not a good quality lip gloss."

tricky container
 Date: January 27, 2012
"I hate to say that this is the first and only Origins product I am really not happy with! The first time I bought it, the applicator broke off. Origins very nicely sent me a replacement. . . I have tried to like it, but it is very frustrating to get a good amount on the applicator, and it doesn't seem to last very long. . . Perhaps the idea of putting a wand into a tube isn't a good one??? I will continue to use all other Origins products, but this one is on my "don't buy again" list!!"

This really is the best lip gloss

"Okay, I'm over 60 so I have tried lots of lipsticks and lip glosses... I love this lip gloss! My lips look and feel smooth. It is not sticky and it does last a little longer than most other glosses. I am looking forward to purchasing some different colors. I purchased sheer bronze and it is nice, but I might try sheer cola next or sheer passion for just a bit more color."

Love the gloss, not the tube or applicator...
 Date: September 18, 2011
"I love the minty tingle it give your lips and I loved the color! After about 10 times using it, the applicator wand broke and trying to squeeze it out of the tube was a mess. If they change the design of the tube and applicator I would purchase again."

Tags: Moisturizing, creating shiny lips
"I see that my favorite, sheer mandarin is not there anymore but peach looks really close. I am a "lipglossaholic" and this is definitely one of my favorites. It is moisturizing and that is so important. You cannot say store bought mineral oily products can top this product. It also lasts longer on your lips. I also do not really like fruity glosses and this is definitely not that!"

Disappointed
 Date: October 9, 2010
"I'm a long-time Origins junkie and love almost all the products I've tried. I loved the color and the way this gloss went on my lips, but it dried them out horribly. I still use it, but only over lipstick, never alone."
