I really like these!! After all the raves on the boards, I caved & purchased these 2 today. Pink Diamonds is a pretty pinkish mauve color & Gem's n Roses is a very pretty raspberry color. I have very pale colored lips, so these colors might appear differently if your lips are very pigmented. They go on smooth (very moisturizing) with no noticeable smell. You can see the little crystals in the lipstick if you look close. I wouldn't say the lipstick is that shiny & most definetly not like the commercials!! However, it is still a great lipstick.
