Victoria's Secret keeps on sweet talking me into buying glosses.

Pros:scent, price
Cons:texture
The Bottom Line: These are pretty good. Not my favorites, but pretty good.
In a new wave of fruit scented squeeze tube lip glosses (yet another new wave on fruit scented squeeze tube lip glosses), Victorias Secret has jumped on the bandwagon with their new Sweet Talk Mouth Watering Lip Glosses. .48 oz retails for $7 (though there always seems to be a sale of two for $10). The squeeze tube is slightly triangular, made out of a heavier feeling plastic than some.
These glosses are available online at victoriasecret.com, at some Victorias Secret stores and Victorias Secret beauty.
The flavors/scents which are available are (taken from victoriasecret.com):
Posh Peach
Very Cherry Vanilla
Passion Pear
Juicy Blueberry
Wild Berries
Sensual Strawberry
I own Posh Peach. I have a friend who owns Passion Pear. I smelled all of them when I was at Victorias Secret Beauty.
The scents are nice. True to what they say, yet to call them flavors is a misnomer. Not to mention the fact that they are mouth watering, since they do not really have any type of identifiable taste. There may be a bit of sweetness, but it is certainly not anything identifiable and it is certainly not anything mouth watering. I did enjoy the scents, though. They were pleasantly fruity without being overbearing.
The color that you get from these glosses is minimal. I found that mine was clear (which is a good thing, since in the tube it is orange and orange is not for me). You do get a lot of shine from these glosses, which is always nice. It will layer on top of lipsticks, if that is what you are interested in.
Applicator is nothing special for a squeeze tube. The applicator is slanted with a little hole. It is fairly easy to control, as much as any squeeze tube lipgloss goes. If you dont like them in general, then this lipgloss isnt going to change yet.
Texture wise, this gloss is sticky and heavy (and I dont mind sticky heavy glosses, since I think they last longer. But this is really on the sticky and heavy side. Some people will absolutely hate it. I dont mind it all that much. If you dont like the feeling of stickiness at all, dont buy this one.
This gloss has an average lasting time. An hour to an hour and a half on a good day (take into consideration that I apply gloss like a nut and find that average. When it isnt shiny anymore, I reapply. Its a must for me). Granted, that isnt very long when you take into consideration how heavy and sticky that it, so it isnt anything exceptional.
If you like super shiny lip gloss that smells like fruit, this is quite possibly the perfect gloss for you. That is, if you can deal with the stickiness. There are better glosses out there, in my opinion. Yet the price is reasonable and the scents are quite pleasant. Victorias Secret Sweet Talk Mouth-Watering Lip Gloss didnt make my mouth water, but I would recommend it for those looking for shine and fruity scents at a reasonable price.
