Review: Mary Kay NouriShine Lip Gloss

In this post, I'll be reviewing Mary Kay NouriShine Lip Gloss. I got it as a gift for attending a Mary Kay event, but the retail price of this product is 17.50$.

The claims:

Mary Kay® NouriShine™ Lip Gloss

Mary Kay® NouriShine™ Lip Gloss smooths, softens and never feels sticky. Treat your lips to this new superlight formula that's saturated with moisturizers and conditioner - more than 80 percent - so lips feel amazingly soft and supple. Mary Kay® NouriShine™ Lip Gloss is also fortified with vitamins A and E that help form a protective defence against wrinkle and exposure to the environment. You can get this great new formula in seven-lip loving new shades, plus three of your favourites.
Pros:

• it's sparkly without being too sparkly
• light fragrance
• nice taste
• not too heavy on the lips
• doesn't dry out my lips
  

Cons:

• the color doesn't seem to last. You can see it when you first apply it, but after some times, it goes on sheer.
• kinda sticky
• seems like you never get enough product on the wand the first time. I have to dip it and dip it again.
  
• the price! 17.50$ for a .27 oz (7.75 g) lipgloss!

Here's what it looks like on my lips:

If you click on the pictures, you will be able to see the tiny sparkles. And I love the high shine this lip gloss offers. It is definately on of my favourite lip gloss (along with Lancôme Juicy Tubes), but I'm not sure I would pay 17.50$ again for this product...

This lipgloss is available 10 in shades. I got it in Pink Diamonds.
