I think this is a perfectly nice low-shine lip gloss (it’s really more of a cross between a balm and a gloss) with great ingredients (all-natural ingredients, naturally-derived dyes), a nice consistency, and a lack of stickiness. However, the color really didn’t work for me. Despite being called “petal pink” lip gloss, which made me think it would be a pale pink, it’s actually a very vibrant medium-pink that’s almost berry colored. It’s so vibrant that even if I apply it pretty sheerly I still look like I’ve been drinking berry Kool-aid. I think you’re supposed to apply it very sheerly — when I applied it thickly it went on very unevenly. I think this would look fantastic on anyone who can wear vibrant pink lip glosses, but I’m not one of them, so I’m taking a star off for that (to be fair, most people can wear much more vibrant colors than I can — I’m pretty darn pale — so this may work for you). I’m also taking off another star because it does not prevent skin cancer and comes in one of those annoying tiny jar things (I much prefer lip gloss in a tube).

Aubrey Organics lip glosses (which come in petal pink, red, mocha, and clear) received an overall rating of 4.1/5 stars on MakeupAlley — a lot of people seem to really like them — many people also really seem to (unlike me) like the color range.
