Paul & Joe Tinted Lip Gloss

Along with Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Balm L 004 Vin Chaud, this Tinted Lip Gloss was another cart filler that turned out to be a hit. This gloss was a LE summer 2017 release, and there were two varieties: 001 Musing (clear without shimmers) and 002 Figment (clear with shimmers). Of course I chose 001 Musing

This is the kind of lip gloss that doesn't feel like a lip gloss to me. Instead, it feels like I'd applied a lip balm out of a squeeze tube, the kind I love, only with a glossy finish and a transparent, juicy tint. Yes, there's a tint to this clear gloss. If it weren't for the "Tinted" in its name, I would have never expected this clear and unassuming lip gloss to have any color at all. Alas, once on my lips it changes into a juicy pink that's just enough to show without being glaring and clownish. The gloss wears off after a couple of hours, leaving behind the same mild pink stain. 
 
Other technical details include a cute tube and standard fuzzy doe-foot applicator. There's a faint scent but I couldn't discern of what because it dissipates almost immediately upon application. In conclusion: dammit, I should have gotten two tubes! ^.^"
