Oh. My. God.
They weren't kidding when they put "color surge" in the name. Usually colored glosses only look colored in the tube, and the color is sheer at best once on the lips. Not these guys. It seriously looks more like lipstick with a high gloss shine over it than regular lip gloss. And as for the "impossibly glossy" part? Yup, that's true too.
I instantly fell in love with Braisin, a deep brown color with some rosy undertones that just looked so fab with my complexion and brown hair. Of course, this happened to be the one color for which they had a tester but no actualy merchandise yet (how cruel!). So I went to the Clinique counter at Macy's, and was told that that one particular color was discontinued. WHAT?! Just when I discovered it?? They said that many recently discontinued Clinique items would be sold by Sephora (I guess untill they run out).
Feeling quite defeated, I went home and searched for my discontinued lip gloss color online. Turns out it's still being sold at Clinique.com, so I immediately bought it. The best part? I signed up to be in the Clinique Club (took about 2 minutes and was free) and got free shipping on my order. Woot! I think as soon as I get this gloss in the mail I'lk be wearing it, like, every day.

hi,
i'm glad you found a great lip gloss.. nothing like that feeling! i'll have to give it a whirl at some point =)
I've been hooked on Lancome Juicy Tubes lately, but I'll have to check out the Clinique line, sounds fantastic.
does it pass the hair-stick test? (ie, does your hair seem unnaturally attracted to the new gloss and sticks to it whenever it gets a chance? ugh that is what annoys me SO MUCH about gloss)
I got the 08 cream soda and I really love it to. It's not comparable with other lipglosses I have, because this enhances the colour of my lipstick and it lasts ALL day! No dry lips anymore =), just a tiny tiny bit is enough!
love
sarah
