I have never loved a lipstick/gloss/stain more than this!!! I bought the Laura Mercier Stick Gloss in Black Orchid, and it is perfection. Looks very deep purple in the tube, but on the lips it is a beautiful sheer berry color. I have SO much trouble finding lip colors that are right for me, as I have am fair with slightly yellow/olive undertones (warm), but blonde hair and blue eyes (cool). For once, this color is PERFECT for me! And even better, it feels amazing on my lips. It's so smooth and moisturizing. It's not too sheer like a gloss, but not opaque like lipstick - the perfect happy medium. I never write product reviews but I love it so much I couldn't help myself!!

I love LM, and have been a LM gal for at least 20 yrs. Most of her products though very expensive, are very generous, and I can justify the price as they last a very long tim. Baby Lips feels lovely on my lips. Not crazy about the color but it is so sheer you don't even notice it. It is a creamy lip balm that makes your lips feel hydrated. Almost no color. I have used this a few times, and it won't last a month if used daily. It melts onto your lips, has no staying power, and quite a bit of product is gone from the tube. There is no value in my opinion and it is so soft it probably will melt should I carry it along wtih me in the warmer summer months. So back to a balm callled EOS (Cheap) for moisture, and a good pigmented lipstick to impart a very small amount of color. That duo will last me a good year or more. I can only give it a 2 star rating due to price. Now if you don't care how much you spend on a lip balm to moisturize your lips, this is a really nice product. Thank you to Sephora for having such a great return policy, wonderful service, and fantastic products « less

I believe Laura Mercier stick gloss lipsticks are some of the best lipsticks money can buy! The texture is creamy and moisturising. It has a good gloss and some staying power. I particularly love 'Baked Earth', so am devastated that it has been discontinued, but delighted to have managed to buy one before they sold out. I'm not too worried though: 'Courtisane' is another favourite. The colour seems to have changed from the original, which was a bit pale and peachy. It's now much richer and a real go-to for me. Highly recommended. 

I can't tell you how many lip glosses, balms and sheer lipsticks I've tried in my quest for a product that moisturizes and adds sheer but noticible color. Even with my fave lip colors, of any consistancy, I apply balm then color and it's a day long balm>color>balm>color merry-go-round which leaves product collecting in the corners of my mouth...Exhausting and discouraging albeit in a beauty regimen kind of way. HOWEVER - Laura Mercier's Stick Gloss is somehow utterly different and astoundingly superior. I bought Peony which is a sheer cranberry/mauve with a healthy looking sheen, not shimmer. The color is definitely there, as opposed to some "tinted" balms, but it is still in a flushed vitality catagory of color that allows me to easily wear it with no makeup - not even blush to balance it out - without looking like "pale face and yikes! Lipstick!" Additionally, this is the first time I've been able to hop off the balm>color>balm carnival ride which is such a refreshing change. This Stick Gloss, without question, is my favorite lip product due to its natural but noticible, grown woman color (Clinique's Chubby Stick Intense is my second favorite new discovery but delivers a brighter POP! of color and is, thus, less versatile) and its sheer, entirely non-waxey texture. Also, it's surprisingly long lasting for such a moisture rich product! So far I prefer the Stick Gloss in Peony to the Sheer Colour in Baby Lips based on the the way the products look and feel. I highly, highly recommend Stick Gloss and am happily, optimistically, confidentally trying out Laura Mercier's other lip products and makeup items. Less

I had to search for this somewhat as it was out of stock for a while. Love this - it's a sheer-ish pinky brown with gold flecks/shimmer. It's perfect for use on my fairly pigmented lips as an every day wash of deeper lip colour to polish off a look. I really love it and have one at work and one at home now and will definitely re-purchase. Good and creamy/balmy and doesn't dry out at all, quite comforting for chapped lips days. Not specially long wearing but doesn't use a lot of product for a swipe to re-apply. I dig the remnants out with a lip brush.
