That's right: I'm a 65-year-old semi-retiree and free-lance writer working from home. Good looks may not be way up there on my list of values and priorities, but I still enjoy looking pretty and chic, and I tend to take some care with my appearance. Even for a quick trip to the corner store, when I skip most of the drill (foundation, eyeliner, etc.), I will usually smooth my favorite moisturizer over my face and dab on some Physicians Formula pH Powered Lip Gloss -- always in Pink, since the Light Pink shade doesn't quite work for me. I've been startled to receive many compliments on my lip color. I wear the gloss alone and find that I get the perfect skin-complementing color that way. I no longer buy any other lipstick or lip gloss, since this one is right for every occasion and every variation in ambient lighting. It has a nice, skin-soothing consistency and the perfect "natural" look. I've been ordering the Physicians Formula gloss at Amazon ever since my local CVS stopped carrying it, at least in my shade. Please understand that I am a tough customer and a rigorous critic: of consumer-products in general, and cosmetics in particular. These days I rarely buy make-up at upscale department stores, having found that I can save hugely by scouting out acceptable equivalents at the drugstore or discount store. At heart I am a minimalist; the relatively few other categories of discretionary-income purchases I do make repeatedly include books, DIY necessities, and basic art supplies. Since I first started wearing make-up regularly, around age 14 or 15, I have hunted in vain for a lipstick I could love and rely on. My skin is unusually fair but has a good texture and is one of my better features. I have never been happy with any of the 9.5 zillion lipstick colors (slight exaggeration) I have gone through over the past five decades. During the "Color Me Beautiful" era I did learn that I was a "Winter" and needed to seek out cool blue undertones in both clothing and make-up. This marginally improved my choice of lip colors, but a truly appropriate and complimentary shade still eluded me. Physicians Formula pH Powered Lip Gloss freed me from ever having to select a lip color again, only to be repeatedly disappointed and dissatisfied. It always looks perfect. Moreover, when I check out my mouth in a mirror after four or five hours, it still looks fresh -- no need to reapply. I do not understand the chemistry of the stuff, but there is no question that it adapts to your individual coloring. I believe there are similar products available in the high-end market. In fact, I just saw a recommendation for one such lip gloss in a magazine. It was available from Sephora, but for about triple the price of this one. If you decide to give this lip gloss a try, you are at high risk of loving it. My one caveat: You may want to make an initial investment in two or even all three of the shades offered, since Light Pink or Natural may suit you better than Pink. I can't regret wasting some money on the Light Pink before I settled on Pink, since I am now saving huge amounts of money on endless trials of other shades from other manufacturers, none of which worked for me. I can not praise Physicians Formula highly enough: In the relatively small and frivolous arena of cosmetics, it is a breakthrough -- a revelation -- an epiphany. In fact, the only room for improvement here is in the company name. There really should be an apostrophe either before or after "Physicians" in "Physicians Formula." Alas, this omission has become ubiquitous -- the apostrophe is either vanishing or long gone from company names throughout the English-speaking world. (Yes, I know, it may be surprising, but even some of us natural-born pedants and punctuation nerds do not feel dressed without our lip gloss!)

I receive compliments when I wear this product. It looks natural but very bright. It's a nice combination.

Holy crap this is a game changer for me. Color is subtle but noticeable and suit me perfectly with the ph thing, but moreover the gloss actually stays on for a while! Buy it!

Gloss is a good replacement for my discontinued HG, Tarte's Energy gloss. Color changes to the right shade, although this is actually a little more pigmented. I don't find it to be particularly moisturizing and don't enjoy the scent as much, but it will tint my lips for the entire day/night with one or two reapplications to achieve a more dramatic look. The packaging is kind of ugly and wasteful imo though. Cool idea, but I've never wanted a light on my lipgloss (the battery is obviously unrecycleable) and it broke almost instantly, and I don't need a mirror either. Plus it's a bit tacky. The brush also splayed out right away, I think the tube opening is too tight for it. All of that is pretty inconsequential though, because it's hard to find a color this flattering that lasts. Would buy again, but pretty sure this product is also discontinued now.

Interesting packaging. I also like it comes with mirror. It's not sticky at all

The LED light didn't work when it arrived, but I didn't really care. The color was really nice and the stain stayed for a long time. Then within a month, the threaded part of the top broke, so the lid can't close. It will leak if I keep it in my purse. Too late to return it or get any help through Amazon.

I really loved this lip color. Loved the light in the wand, loved the product (PAST TENSE). I bought it once at Walgreens, but when the bottle/container chipped and leaked at the threaded end, I bought another on Amazon. And that one broke, also - in the very same place and, again, leaked all over other items in my purse. I liked the lip color so much, however, that I decided to subscribe to it and to just be extra careful to not break. And I WAS careful, however, my almost new lip color, bottle #3 ALSO broke (same place - threaded end), so I'm cancelling the subscription and saying bye-bye. Seems like this is surely something that the manufacturer should and could readily fix.

I used to use this lip stain from elf that I liked but they discontinued it. But thankfully I found this and couldn't be happier! I love love love it

Hermoso y funcional, es súper lindo con la lucecita

no expiry date is being indicated for this item

I love this lip gloss first bought it when on a trip to USA. The colour is great if you like pink. I would like to purchase this gloss in a different colour? But still at least I am now able to purchase here in the UK Arrived before time and and packaged thank you
