I sell this stuff so I thought I'd try it out. I chose violet b/c it's one of my favorite scents and is hard to find. The distributor says violet, peach and red currant are the best seller's but I can only speak for violet. Supposedly "Oprah" raves about it so it's gotten good press.
It's a big, attractive tin of lip gloss for 5-6 dollars retail. It's clear on, but has a nice purple tint in the tin. It smells great, and is truly violet scented. Often "violet" scented stuff smells kind of lilac or lavender-ish--too sweet. The tin works well--lid is secure and doesn't get stuck on.
However, the gloss itself is not so great on your lips. Sure it feels smooth and gives a light sheen, but it tastes perfumy. I'm getting used to it the more I use it but the first time I really thought maybe it was perfume balm and not intended to be on your lips. I'd like to hear what peach and red currant users think. It does not taste like you should ingest any of it, ever, at all. Then you read the ingredients and it's full of petroleum-based chemicals including petrolatum and paraffin wax, not to mention a bunch of things with "benzo" which is never good. No natural waxes or oils here. The ingredients are scary. Look them up! Many have been linked to cancer and other ill health effects.
It does have SPF 4. I wish they would switch their formula to beeswax or some vegetable base so I'm not putting petroleum (fossil fuels!) on my mouth.
