This is a perfectly good sharpener for big lip pencils (such as benefit lip plump). My only complaint is that you have to buy it at all! i think that after paying so much for a Lip Plump pencil, they should include a jumbo sharpener with the product. Making you spend another $5-6 on a sharpener seems a little cheap and tacky.

I agree that it's an oldie but a goodie. I use it before I go to bed to nourish my lips while I sleep. Also, if I feel a cold sore coming on, I start applying this stuff like crazy and the sore never errupts. Works every time.

fun, nourishing lip balm. I don't know if you get any caffeine "buzz" but the smell is nice and not overwhelming. My only complaint is that if your lips are very, very severely chapped (cracked, peeling, etc) like mine often are, then applying this stuff sometimes burns. The price is less than some other premium makeup brand lip balms, which is a nice change!

I usually hate sticky lip gloss, but I make an exception for NARS Chelsea Girl. I LOVE this color, it is the perfect nude lip. I wish that they made this shade in a lipstick because I would prefer that, but I've looked and looked and can't quite find anything like it in a stick. I agree that it does stick to your finger when applied, but I guess it's a small price to pay for such a fantastic shade. I also wear it over NARS lipstick in Honolulu Honey and they work very well together for even longer staying-power.

I tried borrowed birthday suit and get figgy from my best friend for a few days. i found them easy to work with, I used my pinky finger to put it on. It stayed put and didn't run or smudge. It had good blending and staying power. Plus, the shakes are basic but pretty for every day wear. I often find myself disappointed with benefit products, but this would be a definite exception.

i haven't tried the CARGO glosses in tins so i can't compare, but i recently bought a tube of this and found is quite nice. It is small and fits in a pocket or small purse easily. I agree that it is not sticky and would rate the staying power (0 -10 scale) as a 5. If anyone has a recommendation on a long-lasting gloss, I'd love to hear it...

after reading about this product for years, i decided to try it on a whim. so far, i agree with the other reviewers in that it is not greasy, not sticky, very nourishing, and has a pleasant scent. is it really worth the $23, however? i'm not so sure. if money is tight, i would invest in something cheaper.

I don't know what I'm missing about this stuff. Everyone seems to love it, but I just can't get on board. I bought the 'banana' color because i was looking for a nude lip look. The color is my favorite part, I do think that it is a nice shade. However, the container is a pain, it takes too long for the stuff to come out after you click. It is messy and difficult to apply straight from the tube (yes, I could use a lip brush, but come on, I'm in a hurry!). And I think the shine factor is just a bit too high. Lastly, it is STICKY. So sticky! Definitely try some on before buying.

I got a tube of this when I bought the "Peacock" giftset last Christmas. I've used it maybe 1-2 times and find it to be rather underwhelming. The product really clings to the wand and it doesn't appear to be getting on the lashes at all. It just kind of makes them damp and clumpy. Once it's on, I guess that there is some sparkle, but it's really not worth the effort.

My best friend recommended Bare Minerals to me a few years ago. She has always struggled with problem skin and during one visit, I was amazed that her skin looked incredible! I asked her what she was doing differently, and the answer was Bare Minerals foundation. I tried it as soon as I got home and I've been using it ever since. My skin isn't particularly bad, but this foundation makes me look like I'm glowing from the inside. I love it. Word to the wise, though, when you first put it on, it looks powdery and obvious on your skin. But after 5-10 minutes, it actually warms with your body heat and looks like your natural skin. If you haven't had success with foundation and need good coverage, definitely give it a try.
