   I’m obsessed w this & cherry which I found on Sephora.com along marshmallow (have that 1 on order!!) for the deeply discounted price of USD$6 in July 2016! They don’t taste stale or anything, even thou they are from Xmas 2015. They come safety wrapped. Raspberry is delish vanilla fruity raspberry & imparts such a lovely MLBB pink color. 2 lippies of for cute albeit impractical AF packaging I can’t carry it in my purse for fear of it leaking of wasting product or ruining my iPhone by gumming it up on the inside of my purse! I want this with me at all times so difficult! This is #winnng my new favest!!!

   EDIT 4/7/17: Not using this anymore…. Great product but I’m not really wearing glosses these days.

   I love this stuff! The low ratings completely shock me because my experience with this is almost the opposite of everyone else’s!

   First of all, as the name suggests, this really isn’t a gloss – it’s a “shine” which I translate to mean a shiny balm. And that’s exactly how it feels and acts like to me. The philosophy website states in its product description that it glosses your lips but I would not say this is a lip gloss. The raspberry sorbet has a deep tint in the tube which turns into a light tint on your lips – perfect. There is a fair amount of shimmer in there but it looks shiny and pretty – not like a disco ball. There is a flavor and sweetener (saccharin) in there which some might love or hate. (I love…) And as someone who lives in the high desert with dry sensitive skin and lips, I find this moisturizing and non-irritating. (On a side-note, to those who might care, I believe it’s gluten-free too). The applicator is a slanted point (with a screw top) which I find convenient and easy. No mirror necessary – I apply it just like I would a lip balm. $10 might seem like a lot but the tube is HUGE – 15ml/.5 oz! I use this more than any other lip product I have and I’ll probably continue to do so.

   Ingredients: polybutene, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, tridecyl trimellitate, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax⁄candelilla cera⁄cire de candelilla, phenyl trimethicone, fragrance⁄parfum, polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate, water⁄aqua⁄eau, phytosterols, tocotrienols, tocopherol, squalene, oryza sativa (rice) bran wax, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, sodium saccharin, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, calcium aluminum borosilicate, silica, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, titanium dioxide (ci 77891), red 7 lake (ci 15850).

   The consistency is thick, and when I first applied it pretty hard to spread evenly. It doesn’t smell like raspberry sorbet to me, and it tastes sweet. Quite similar to the other lip glosses from philosophy–definitely doesn’t taste like raspberry sorbet! In my opinion, the gloss and shine is pretty–I didn’t feel like I got any colour out from the gloss although it’s reddish orange in the tube. When I first applied it, it was definitely pretty shiny–although this kind of waned after a good 45 minutes or so. It is on the sticky side, but pretty bearable.

   In conclusion, I did expect more from this gloss–especially because of it’s pretty hefty price tag. I have the exact same colour of this from another brand that I find myself reaching for more often–and it’s half the price of the philosophy gloss. I wouldn’t buy it again, but I don’t regret purchasing it either. It looks pretty in it’s packaging and pretty on the lips…just not worth it’s price 🙁

   I got this as a gift. I absolutely despised the Kiss Me Color gloss from Philosophy in the shade Berry, so I was hesitant to even try this one. The disgusting, overwhelming vanilla scent from the Kiss Me Color gloss was not present in the Raspberry Sorbet gloss, so I was relieved. This gloss doesn’t give any pigment, but just a standard shine you find from pretty much any other gloss. It smells very sweet.

   Not worth the $10 in my opinion. It’s just a mediocre product to me, and I think you can find the exact same thing in the drugstore for a much lower price.

   This gloss is WAY to sticky and strong scented. I will not be repurchasing it.

   I had the WORST allergic reaction to this product. It made my lips super dry and break out in bumps. It took a painful week and a half to recover. I think it may have been due to the glitter in it but I am not sure. It tastes amazing and I wish I could use it because it is the best tasting lipgloss I have ever tried. So if you have sensitive lips I would not recommend this product. If not, this is a great product, not sticky at all.

   This is a lovely product! It lasts, smells and tastes great, and imparts the lips with subtle, glossy color. The tube is also huge- I’ve been using it several times per week for 1 yr and it’s still over half full.

   I really like this lip gloss – it smells and tastes like raspberry candy, gives a light pink (shimmery) tint to lips and is really moisturising. Plus I find to be less sticky than other Philosophy glosses! Would repurchase.

   I received a smaller version of this in a gift set along with three other Philosophy lip glosses. This one is, by far, my favorite.

   I love the versatile sheer pink/coral color that can adapt to enhance anyone’s lip color. The scent is sweet but not overpowering and the glitter shine is fun and flirty. It’s also surprisingly long lasting on my lips! I think the glitter has to do with that…even though the shine may dull, my lips will still look nice since the shine from glitter is making up for it haha.

   My only major gripe is about the taste. I’m guessing it was purposefully made sweet to match the whole “raspberry sorbet” theme going on, but I don’t like it…very unnatural tasting. The gloss is also a bit sticky for my taste (hahaha) , but that’s lip gloss for you.

    – Skip down to ‘Final Consensus’ for short summary of overall thoughts on product –

    What it Claims:
    “This lip-loving essential imparts a beautiful shine and a hint of color. Sunflower seed oil and vitamin E nourish and hydrate dry lips for smooth, soft results. The delectable flavor is perfect for calorie-free indulgence.”

    Claims – True or False?
    1) Beautiful shine: True.
    2) Nourishes and hydrates lips: False.

    Packaging:
    I actually have two of these glosses. The first is an older and full-sized tube, which I will call Tube A. The second is a newer and half-sized tube that I got in a small Christmas set this past Christmas, and will call this Tube B. Both are identical in terms of aesthetics; soft and clear plastic squishy tube, slanted plastic tip with rounded edges, and a black twist-cap. Tube B has a slight difference with the cap, as it is more rounded off. It never feels uncomfortable to apply, and does fit my lips well. The tubes feel sturdy, and I’ve owned some of these glosses for over a year without any breakage and frequent purse-tossing.

    Smell:
    I LOVE the scent of this gloss. I can’t say that it really smells like raspberry or sorbet, but it does have a nice sweet and light scent to it. However, Tube A’s scent is definitely stronger and more noticeable than Tube B’s, and Tube B smells more artificial. I can somewhat smell it while I’m wearing it, but it doesn’t pose an issue and doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

    Consistency:
    Both tubes seem to share the same, or almost the same, consistencies. The colour payoff is sheer to light, which I do like. It it noticeable in terms of colour on the lips, but isn’t overly obvious. The colouring for both tubes is different. Tube A seems to have more warmth to it, as well as looks a bit lighter. It also seems to look almost peachy. Tube B is a tad darker, cooler, and almost seems to have some purple undertones to it. Tube A looks best against my warm skin, but both look nice. Both have noticeable but not over-the-top shimmer/glitter, and both are moderately sticky. Tube B seems to be a little less sticky. Thickness is moderate, and it definitely has good wear-time.

    Ease of Use:
    I have no difficulties with this gloss in terms of application. The formula is thick enough that it can be well controlled while applying, and does not easily escape the lip lines. It blends into the lips nicely, doesn’t require a lot of manipulation or tugging, and applies evenly and easily. Removal can be a bit tricky due to the stickiness, as it does dry down to a sticky residue after a few hours of wear. As long as tissues are not used though, it’s no big deal.

    Bang for your Buck:
    I’d say that this gloss, and Philosophy glosses in general, is a mid-range product. My original tube cost me about $16.00CAD, or about $12.00USD. The Sephora website is listing these glosses at $10.00USD, so it could be that the prices have permanently dropped somewhat. While this may seem a bit pricey for some, I do not think that this is really all that pricey. Even if I were to have worn this gloss almost daily, it easily would have lasted me throughout an entire year before I had to repurchase.

    Final Consensus:
    I’ll admit it, I’m a little bit of a Philosophy gloss junkie. If you are looking for a gloss with light coverage, a nice amount of glitter, and a sweet scent, check this one out. If you are turned off by sticky glosses, you may want to steer clear. I do have to say, I’m a bit surprised by the lowish rating!
    – Pros: Pretty shade, nicely sized glitter, does not dry out the lips and keeps the lips feeling soft after removal, does not cling to dry peeling skin, light colour coverage allows the gloss to be a little more accessible to many skin tones, smells (and tastes) good, has good staying power for a gloss, well priced.
    – Cons: A little bit too sticky, must be purchased from Sephora stores or their website where I live (the closest Sephora location doesn’t tend to carry a lot of Philosophy glosses, and the other location here is a little far).

    Overall Rating: 4.5/5
    Price: 2/5
    Packaging Quality: 3/5
    Would you buy this product again: Yes.
