Review: Jill Stuart Sweetness Collection Mini lip gloss in 101 Sugar Kiss

Normally I wouldn't be interested in trying out lip glosses from Jill Stuart, because I am not much of a gloss or lipstick person, but this came in the Sweetness Collection and when I first tried their jelly lip gloss, I must say I'm impressed.

The shade is a limited one, 101 Sugar Kiss. It has glitter in the gloss, but not huge chunks of glitter that you can feel with your lips, they're fine and I don't feel any glitter on my lips at all, the texture is very soft and creamy, its the most un-stickiest gloss I have ever tried. (compared to Lancome Juicy Tubes and Stila lip glaze, and a few others).





I feel I have put on a lip balm and not a gloss, this is good for me because I do not prefer glosses or lipsticks because they make my mouth feel sticky. Now I can see myself constantly reaching for this to complete my look. The shade itself is not a vibrant, neon kind of pink, it is a subtle one. The cute packaging is a plus to tell me I should use it more often from now on, lol!
Here are pics of my lips before and after application:
Before:

After:

This smells like vanilla and butterscotch.

The glitter reflects light and adds a slightly bluish or lilac-ish tint, and the part I care most about is that it seems to give the effect of a lip plumper.
