gloss stick

Finishes range from sheer, glossy high-shine to semi-sheer and shimmer; product descriptions use terms like "Color Finish: Gloss", "Color Finish: Shimmer", "High Shine" and "Semi-Sheer."

Listed net weights/volumes include: .07 ounces, .09 ounces, .23 fl oz, .27 fl oz (US), .33 fl oz (US), and .4 fl oz (US).

Product forms shown include stick formats as well as tube and liquid glosses (product labels list "Product Form: Stick", "Product Form: Tube" and "Product Form: Liquid").

Active ingredients mentioned include peptides; hyaluronic acid; botanicals such as aloe, jojoba and chamomile; antioxidant berry extracts (acai, goji, black elderberry); and spicy ginger for plumping.

Some plumping glosses produce a cooling, minty or tingling sensation—often described as temporary. One listing includes the warning "May Cause Duck Lips" and cautions that tingling is normal and to avoid use on chapped or sensitive lips.

Reviewers most often describe a smooth, moisturizing, glossy application that is generally non-sticky; a minority note slight stickiness or the need to reapply.
