Smells great, travels a bit
-11.27.12
Quick Take: flavored, smells great
Love the smell!
Has some colour, but more shine and gloss.
Found it moderately moisturizing, major issue was that it doesn't stay on the lips very well.

Reminds me of Lip Smackers
-11.20.12
Quick Take: moisturizing, flavored, lasts long
As most people state in their reviews, it does smell and taste pretty good. It smells a lot like a watermelon Lip Smackers lip gloss. Except it only does from the tube or for about a few minutes after I apply it. Otherwise it just makes my lips extra shiny.
It doesn't exactly feel goopy on your lips, but it does feel a bit sticky. I fell asleep with it on a few times and woke up with it still on my lips, nice and glossy. Which brings me to the next thing; it does moisturize and soften the lip. I woke up with it on once to find my lips extremely flakey (with the gloss still on, all shiny). I wiped it gently off of my lips, and they were the softest it ever felt! I own LOTS of glosses, lipsticks, lip treatments and creme and they have never felt so soft without having to scrub it off.
As for the color, if anyone is wondering, it just gave my lips a sheer, glossy shine. No color to it really.
First Philosophy lip shine I bought, bought a few more in different flavors (more the flavor than the color for me). I probably would recommend it to another person.

yummy and shiny
-08.30.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, moisturizing, flavored, shiny, clear
This lipgloss smells really good! It also isn't as sticky as most lipglosses which is really nice! However it does not have color if that's what you're looking for it is simply a nice clear shine. It also isn't shimmery either just nice and shiny!

Meh
-07.17.12
Quick Take: flavored
This gloss was sticky and sometimes too much would come out even though I wasn't applying much pressure to the tube. It's not really moisturizing... although Idk if that is a selling point for this product. It was, however, what I was told in store which is why I was disappointed.

Where's the color?
-04.07.12
Quick Take: glossy, quite sticky
I was expecting a great tasting slightly tangerine/coral gloss. I got a great tasting, clear gloss. Perfect if you're looking to have a literally delicious kisser... bummed at that lack of color but color is the one thing the product doesn't actually promise.

Delicious.
-01.27.12
Quick Take: glossy, nice color, smells good, long lasting
The scent is like legit papaya. It's totally tropical, a sweet color, and lasts a long time. I was hesitant at first, but the moment I tried it I loved it. If you don't like tropical or mango like scents, I wouldn't recommend. But if you love those kinds of scents... CLICK ADD TO CART! :)

-01.23.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, glossy, tasty, fragrant
I was a bit hesitant at first to try this lip gloss out. I just needed one more item to get free shipping so I thought, "Why not?" Many reviews said that this gloss was super glossy and "glossy" and I usually don't mix well. I LOVE THE SMELL! <3 The taste is amazing too. I don't mean to lick it off all the time. It is seriously THAT good. This product can be very shiny at times but if you dab it on your lips with your finger or after applying it dab it with a q-tip, it should look fine. I definitely love this lip gloss and plan on buying it all the time.

Perfect Lip Shine for Girls of All Ages
-01.12.12
Quick Take: sweet and fruity
I spent some time with my 10 year old niece before Christmas and as a little surprise I bought her this lip shine and gave it to her the night before Christmas while we were having a late night girl talk session. She was thrilled; she ran upstairs and showed grandma the cool lip shine I had given her and put some on. It is the perfect sheer shade of peach with a touch of shimmer for young girls who are not old enough for make-up but still want to feel like they are doing something special to look pretty. I must say, she did let me try it and it looked beautiful on me too! As far as the scent goes, it is a wonderfully light fruity sweet scent. It reminded me of made from scratch fruit punch from when I was young, yummy! As with all Philosophy lip shines, this one is comfortable and moisturizing when on the lips. Since my niece has severe eczema, I knew I was taking a chance giving her something for her skin with color and fragrance, but fortunately she had no adverse reaction to this product! I just spoke to her by phone today and she still is talking about how much she loves her lip shine! I am happy, she is happy, and that is actually the greatest gift I could have received this holiday season. Thank you again Philosophy, for a great product and gift.

Quick Take: non-sticky, glossy
I'm pregnant and every lipgloss I tried made me sick to my stomach, until I tried Philosophy Papaya Passion lip gloss. I love it! I like the shine, it stays on well and keeps my lips moist, even better than chap stick. I like the sweet flavor of papaya too.

GREAT color!
-05.25.11
Quick Take: glossy, non-waxy
I have an olive skin tone and this color is excellent for a natural look with some shine and it tastes good too! only setback is that I find it slightly sticky (no where near as sticky as MAC but still sticky) and it did tend to crease/cake at the corners of my mouth. but this is a quick fix so otherwise a good product. the color makes up for it.

Not too impressed
-05.16.11
Quick Take: meh.
the gloss itself is nice, not sticky, just a slight shimmer... but the scent and flavor is almost non existant... Kinda disappointing since the gel in this scent smells so good!
