I got this lip gloss in the shade "Pink Cream". It's a very subtle brownish pink color that has little to no pigment. This gloss goes on smoothly and isn't overly sticky. It also lasts fairly long, but I don't find myself reaching for it that often. My tube is still almost full. I don't know if it was very moisturizing or could be considered a lip treatment. Unfortunately this didn't impress me enough or leave enough of an impression.
I found this lipgloss very sticky (not the kinda thing you want your hair getting stuck in), but it definitely lasts a while without requiring touching up.

I am very fond of all items in the Body Shop and this little number is definitely in my top ten.
I am a huge fan of lip gloss as I love the gloss finish and when I wear it over my lipsticks it makes it last longer.
It also makes any look a little sexier and adds a great pout. I own literally 60 odd glosses from various cosmetic firms, with different colours, styles, and uses. I have plain gloss to add a wet lip look, ones that make my lips swell slightly, pouting ones, glitter ones, long lasting, etc…
My first experience of the ultra shiny glosses was a gift box a friend made up for me at the body shop as a thank-you gift. I didn’t use it straight away and just threw it into my handbag and put the other items I received in my bathroom. I promptly forgot about the lip gloss.
Two months went buy and it stayed lying at the bottom of my handbag ( been lazy, haven’t changed day handbag and been carrying same black leather one around for ages now…mental note, changed hand bags), unopened and lost in between 101 other things. One afternoon I got a call from an old friend wanting to go out for drinks after work and at once I agreed forgetting that I only had work clothes on, no backup and no spare make-up – Eek!
5pm quickly came so I rushed to the company’s bathroom, vamped up my work attire and then started rummaging in my handbag for some make-up only to find one single tube – the ultra shiny gloss coral spice.
I am always one to work with what I’ve got, so armed with my little tube I set out to make it work. AND wow I was impressed!
I used it on my lips, cheap bones and a tiny bit on my eyelids combined with moisturise that I always carry around and I was set to go. The gloss gave me a serious pout, added that extra bit of sparkle but without being over the top. (I hate glosses that are over sparkly and the lights at a club reflect off them like a glitter ball). The gloss also stayed on much longer than a regular one. And even though it was a little sticky on the eyes and cheeks it worked and you wouldn’t know it was a gloss.
I haven’t used it on my cheeks and eyelids since but I have gone back to the body shop and bought another tube along with a number of other colours (They have about 7 that I have seen: Pink Cream, Mauve Dream, Bronze Beam, Read Gleam, Party Pink, Coral Spice and Cherry Glimmer) that suite every occasion.
I now always have the Coral one in my bag for that unexpected emergency and for repeat use .
