Colorescience Sunforgettable Lip Shine SPF 35

Lip gloss with SPF 35 and color that actually shows up on my lips and looks pretty on my skin tone ! I’m so happy with these lip shines! I had been eyeing them for some time and finally went for it once they went on sale! The texture feels great, like a normal lip gloss and not sticky. I wouldn’t consider this to feel drying, it has a nice slip. But I do use Laneige lip mask overnight, in the morning, apply a light layer of Bioderma lip balm before using this. So this keeps my lips hydrated. While the lip shines don’t last forever, I find they stay on pretty well for me as long as I am not eating. And I do reapply throughout the day cause it’s the sunscreen law. I haven’t noticed a flavor or taste but I don’t usually lick my lips when I have gloss on. The colors I have are just beautiful! They’re not completely sheer, they have some pigment, maybe medium coverage. And you can apply more to build the color a bit. I got the flowing colors:Coral (reminds me of a darker version of MAC Love Nectar lipglass🤩 which is discontinued but IYKYK🥰 anyway Coral is a beautiful soft terracotta shade, soft bronzey coral, not bright) this has a slight pink iridescence like Love Nectar, that’s hard to capture in a photo. Like a subtle pink sheen, no shimmer or glitter.Rose (pinky mauve nude, my lips but better shade) I think this looks prettier on the lips than in the tube. Perfect for everyday. This shade is probably the most wearable for the largest range of skin tones.Pink (it’s pink, like pink pink but not too warm or too cool, brighter and more pink than Rose)I love all 3 of these colors and I think Coral and Rose will look best on deeper skin tones. As for Pink, if you love pink, then you need this! But I know that’s not everyone’s vibe.Now, I have searched high and low for swatches or proper photos of these shades against a skin tone like mine and haven’t seen any. And that also contributed to why I hadn’t purchased any until recently. So, I have added the photos I always wanted to see. I am not wearing any lip liner, just the Lip Shine. I truly hope this helps someone. Because as I write this, there are 641 reviews on here and ZERO photos. This is insane to me! But don’t judge my photos too hard; my eyebrows are in a grow-out phase. Anyway, you’ll see swatches of the CS color balms too. I think the shades I have, pair beautifully with the lip shines. Sometimes I even layer the lip shine over the color balm on my lips to boost staying power and protection.Overall, these are great but they’re a little pricey at full price. But there aren’t many lip SPF35 options with actual pigment (that shows up on me) on the market. And these have a physical filter, zinc, and it’s PA++++; AND these do NOT look ashy! But I still think $42 is pretty steep. So, if you can get it on sale, don’t hesitate. But don’t buy too many at once, they expire 12 months after you open them. So you might want to write it on the container or something. I used my label maker for this.*I hope Colorescience adds darker shades to the line up. I’d love to see red, burgundy, and brown shades.

I loveee this gloss. The pink is my favorite shade! I love the fact that it is SPF 35. We gotta protect this lips while out in the sun. I am now on my second gloss, the first lasted quite awhile and I use it all the time. It's not too sticky and not too thin. I usually wear it over a lipstick but have worn it alone a few times when I have just sunscreen on my face. Give it a try! Your lips will thank you when they're not sunburnt and have pretty color to them!

I have bought this from their website and this is just buying back up. It is expensive, but I really like the color and the fact it has SPF.

Great color and love the way it feels!

Lips have opaque/white-ish tint after using product.

The formula is superb! I love how it feels on the lips and even more happy that this is an all mineral sunscreen lip gloss. I will say that I wish the packaging was better as the price point is steep, however, I would repurchase nonetheless cause the formula is really good.

I’m very happy with the texture and how it applies like a smooth gloss, no sticky feeling, and the color,”Coral”, actually blends in beautifully over favorite Mac lipstick, “Snob”, a more pink color. As a dermatology patient it is well-worth the price to find such a quality product that uses zinc oxide for lip protection and am glad that I continue to trust colorescience.

I am so grateful that I found this product. Looks amazing on and has SPF! You don’t have to reapply too often and not too drying when it wears off.
