I bought it too and am still on the fence with it - looks great in the tube, but on me, there's not much color payoff - seems I can get a similar effect by using lychee luxe with a light hand.
when i tried it on at the MAC counter.. it looked so pretty and peachy... not as frosty as silly girl from balloonancy, but nice! i get home and i feel the same way.... wahhh! where's the color?? i paired it with high tea l/s so that i can get some color. it kinda worked, but i have to go back (ARGGH! AGAIN) to test...
it's the same for me with love nectar.. so many people use it and talk about it's greatness, but what am i getting out of it.. i think i love enchantress and nymphette much more! so off 'product' but the same pain nonetheless........ i think i'll keep it. i find that with many products that i return, i'll come to love them a while down the line...
i really really REALLY want to love it, as i have been looking for a peachy/coral lipgloss for a while, but i find that it has virtually no color payoff. when i wear it alone, it looks clear and sparkly, almost. over certain lipsticks it does look kind of cute (i tried it over strength, i'm NC42). i actually swatched wonderstruck and moonbathe, moonbathe looks to me like wonderstruck's less-pigmented, tangerine cousin. is it a keeper?
When I looked at it online last week, I wasn't intrerested: corals usually do something awful to me because I'm already so yellow (I'm NC43)! Looking at it in the tube, I wasn't too impressed either. But once I tried it, I couldn't pass it up!
I like that it doesn't have too much color. It's just enough warmth so that my lips aren't too pink, and the shine is so summer-riffic. Yesterday I wore it over Honeyflower l/s lined with Cushy, and that was really lovely. Today I'm wearing it by itself. I'm liking it either way.
I have fairly pigmented lips and if i put ANY color on my lips they get overwhelming. Its ridiculous- and it doesn't help that i have very large lips. So, i prefer little color in my gloss- and i own only 1 lipstick that i like. I am in love with this gloss as an alone color. Its exactly what i was looking for.
I didn't buy it, but it reminded me of the Turquatic lipglasses released last year (e.g. Orangedescence, Crystal Rose), which were also sheer. The idea is supposed to be of a wash of colour, tho, so I can't knock it for being sheer, but (at the moment) I won't be buying it because it is so sheer.
