THis product is a great idea. It has been compared to Stila's Convertable Color, but LP Oxymoron is much nicer...goes on silky with great color payout...not gloppy, too shiny or messy. Has a great slighly silky sheen and feels great on the lips-almost like a stain. It comes in a more then generous pot, with a small applicator brush, that while not the best, does the trick. The only complaint I have is that this is nothing like the color swatch...maybe just my skin tone, but this goes on like a bright reddish rosy fuscia...sheer, but much brighter then the description or swatch would lead you to believe. That being said, I'll wear it on those days I feel bold...it's much brighter and redder than I expected, but I've found that to be true with all the LQ products I've tried. I'm a pale lip, smokey eye gal, but it might be fun to experiment with the trendy redder shade lip/plain eye for spring. Really like the fact you can't feel it on, and it has no odor. Lasting power is average, but it does tend to leave a slight stain for some time after the actual gloss is gone. A must try at last once.

To be honest, I haven't used this long enough for a proper review, but so far, so good. This is a nice moisturizing cream for my dry, sensitive skin. I haven't had any adverse reaction to it, which is good considering that anti-aging ingredients can sometimes irritate my sensitive skin. I got hooked on Avene's cream for Intolerent Skin, so I actually use that more because with the dry weather in my area, it seems to moisturize better, but I find if I alternate the creams at night it works great. I've actually gotten comments on how nice my skin looks. It helps that it's a fairly reasonable price for an anti-aging cream. Very happy with this brand so far.

After using this cream for a week on my dry, pink, blotchy skin, I have noticed a big difference. My skin is clearer, less dry, and the redness is much better. I have used creams at twice the price that didn't perform as well as this does. It sinks into the skin quickly, but doesen't leave any greasy or sticky residue, and leaves skin looking hydrated and healthy. I am so impressed that I am going to switch over to all Avene skincare.

This product is great. I've tried other lip plumpers but this one actually does what it says. I'ts very pricy, but I've found if used with the Lip Fusion Define pencil, it stays on pretty well and actually does plump up without alot of pain, and looks great. Some of the colors in the tubes look a bit dramatic, but when applied, they tone down very well and I would imagine everyone can find something that will work. "Dream" works great on me...in the tube it looked too dark, but once applied, kicked my natural color up a notch and looked very polished and not too overdone. Would recommend at least sampling it.

I bought this product several years ago when it first came out...bought it again a few years ago. I thought all these folks can't be wrong. It just does not work for me. First, it's terribly messy no matter how you apply, second, it really makes my pores look larger, and finally it turns to mud if you happen to sweat heavily. I know no make up is perfect, and it does appear to work magic when first applied, but I will continue to search for my holy grail...

Didn't like this at all, in any color. I thought the texture was awful, the shimmer was fake looking and caked (in the not so bad lines in my lips), and the flavoring tasted harsh and fake. I do LOVE Burt's Bees Honey lip balm, but for a gloss, or any kind of shimmer, I would say pass on this.

Love the few colors this lipstick comes in, and I also love the texture and the look, however Clinique needs to find a way to keep it on!! This lasts an hour at best without eating, drinking, and making a concentrated effort not to lick your lips. Too many others out there that do a much better job. Not worth the money.

THis one is really odd! It actually smells like a fresh cigar out of the bottle. Rather scary, but once it's applied it mellows out and is actually very wearable. Think fresh tobacco leaves and not dirty ashtray! This is not a run of the mill scent, and I'm not a huge fan of any of the notes, however I found once I applied it from a sample vial, I couldn't keep my wrist away from my nose! If you like different, unusual scents, and like the any of the notes, I highly recommend you try at least a sample!

A wonderful scent...sweet floral but it has quite a spicy undertone at the same time. I also get the tang of herbs on the drydown. All in all very pleasant, This seems to last awhile on me, but most may need to reapply every few hours or so to keep it fresh. This scent is a surprising twist on a floral/herbal scent.

This is a very nice scent. Very "close to the skin". This does not last long on me, but that could just be my body chemistry. I didn't smell fur, but a nice, slightly woodsy musk. Worth the reapplication. BPAL oils are a great deal for the price, and they are very generous with freebies when you order. Coyote is worth a try if you like very quiet, clean, musky scents.
