First off I'm not a big fan of using my fingers to put stuff on my lips. But I got a tin of Melon Mayhem free with my delivery so I thought I'd give it a try. This is more sticky than the glosses I've used. But overall, I guess it's just okay.
At first I will admit that these little lip glosses are very convienent. But I bought three and when you put them on your lips they all look like the same color (very sheer and clear). I wouldnt use these as a lip gloss i use them as chapstick/lip balm. You get what you pay for.

I got this gloss as a free gift with my order, and I must say, what a nice surprise! It smells like mocha; some people comment that it smells like chocolate, but it's only because mocha is chocolate coffee! The application is smooth and sheer and the flavor is pleasant. I'm recommending it to my friends and I'm excited to try the other flavors!

The only thing I do not particularly care for about this product, is the smell.
I got this in Frosting Fanatic. Love the color, love the way it feels.
I have a limited addition lip balm (that I fell in love with) from a very popular brand that starts with an M...and this gloss in Frosting Fanatic looks almost identical and is about fourteen dollars cheaper. So...JACKPOT for me.

Recently I got sores from this lip gloss .It's silly cuz I was kinda liking it. But it always gave me stings. This is the first time i got allergies from cosmetics. I guess it contains some -not so friendly- chemicals and if i lived in USa I would prbably return it right away.
I got the Melon Mayhem and I love it! I'm definately going to buy more of the candy shop lip tins.
But I have to say that it doesn't smell like melon AT ALL. More like a cheap coffee smell or something. It makes my lips shine so I like it very much. Overall great product for the price!

I had got Candy Fix and the reviewers who say this stuff smells like coffee or cocoa are spot on right. In my bf's words he said it smells like "cheap coffee candy". I still love e.l.f. but i'll pass on this stuff, perhaps i'll give it one more try next order and go for the Cherry Bomb...Peace ☮
Mocha Maniac is amazingggg it smells great and the color is nice. I really like this lip gloss it's so much fun! I also got Melon Mayhem as a free gift and I think it's pretty. I agree about the coffee smell but I can also smell melon in there. It's nice if you can stand the smell!
from Providence, RI on 8/15/2008
i love the coconut crazed one! it's shiney and smells really good!
The smell is great, definetly coconut, but its tastes AWFUL!! Need to fix the flavors. I won't buy another of these
I'm not a huge fan of tins/pots of gloss (sticky fingers, yuck!), but as far as those go, this is pretty good. Good flavor and smells yummy. Lots of shine.
This is the most best lip gloss. I collect lip gloss for fun (instead of stamps of some thing)
all i have to say is "I lOvE iT"
from Austin, TX on 8/8/2008
I apply Mocha Madness with a lipstick brush for an even application. It is basically true to color but maybe a little bit more sheer. It smells a little funky and tastes sorta strange but it's not a big deal or anything. It looks beautiful and goes on very easily. It's just lip gloss so I don't expect it to last super long or anything. It takes care of dry lips though!
from Florence,Ms on 8/6/2008
I got this as a free gift with my order. I must say it blends well and gave me a hint of color. I will order this from now on.
i bought candy fix. i didn't like the smell and it tasted nasty!!! it's something i would have used in middle school.
from Gainesville Fl on 7/26/2008
I recieved this lip gloss a s a free gift in melon madness. I dont normally wear anything on my lips because i dont like the way is feels but this stuff is pretty good! It is not heavy, sticky, or goopey! it looks geat by itself and on top of the all over color stick that i baught and tried on my lips. The scent smells a little more coffee flavored then melon but that is ok i like coffee and it is not a bad scent just a little different then eaht the titles implies.
from Canada on 7/25/2008
I bought Melon Mayhem, Coconut Crazed, and Frosting Fanatic before, and I found they were not true to the color or scent. They were just ok, a nice little gloss to use if you have nothing. However, I bought Mocha Maniac and Cherry Bomb, and both were true to the colors shown and the scent. They went on beautifully with a nice sheen and hint of color. I love these two!! I will definitely buy them again when my other ones finish!
from NY on 7/25/2008
These do smell like coffee and they really do not taste that much like anything...these give just a small hint of color...I like these just to moisturize my lips when needed...they are ok.
I found these for sale in a pack of 3, I received Melon Mayhem, Frosting Fanatic, and Berry Pop. Melon Mayhem is a pink nude with glitter, and applies sheer. Frosting Fanatic - to my surprise - is a slightly gold color. I am in love with it because it is so different than any other lip color I have ever had. Berry Pop gives a nice dark berry color, and also contains a little bit of glitter. These are all so much fun to play with!
Good product but the smells lack. However the "Mocha Manica" smells exactly like im in a chocolate store.
i like this although it wears out pretty quick but the taste of it is pretty gross
not the best gloss because the color just doesnt show, but i dk, maybe it's because my skin is a little dark for "candy fix" (i have medium/tan skin)i like the smell and glossy finish, it also goas on smoothly and mosturizing, but i am not pleased because the color doenst show up
i guess if u apply by a brush it will look nicer (i apply by finger tips) if u have light skin tones all of those will work for u!
from Orlando, Florida on 7/13/2008
I purchased these Candy Shop Lip tins in Candy Fix and Cherry Bomb. They are fabulous, The smell and taste great. And the convenient little tin is so cute. A lot of gloss for the money and unbeatable shine and feel on. I use it alone for a subtle wash of color or with my current lipstick for a glossy finish. I recommend everyone try these tins. I love them! :)
it stings my lips....its almost perfect but when i tried it...ooouuucchhhh it stings! (like a plumping lip gloss but no plump at all)
from Ohio on 7/6/2008
The shade I ordered was Melon Mayhem. It smells nice, kinda like really sweet cantaloupe. It also goes on smooth and lasts much longer than many of e.l.f.'s other glosses. The color is sheer and complements many different looks! I definitely want to try all the other shades!!
from Orange County, CA on 7/6/2008
I really liked these cute little tins and thought the product covered well, added just enough gloss but not too much, moisturized my lips and there was a generous amount too! I tried Cherry Bomb, Melon Madness, Mocha Maniac & Berry Pop; I found them all to have a pleasant smell and subtle flavor. This is a great value for the price!
They were a bit sticky but it didn't bother me at all. The color was less than lipstick but more than chapstick which was perfect!
I just didn't like the taste or the smell. Pretty sticky, the lip balm was hard to get smooth.
from Florida on 7/3/2008
I like these! I have tried Cherry Bomb, Coconut Craze, and Frosting Fanatic. I wasn't crazy about the Coconut Craze and Frosting Fanatic ones because the colors weren't flattering on me, but I love the Cherry Bomb gloss! It's a fairly large tin of lip gloss, and it gives me a nice red tint on my lips that isn't too overbearing or garish. The color isn't as dark as the red in the container, but it's a natural flush of color.
Admittedly, it does not smell anything like cherries (the other glosses don't smell like their names, either) but it still smells good to me. Almost like a mild cappuccino scent.... I happen to love cappuccino so it works out for me. It is a little weird though, how the scents don't match up to their names, but these are still good glosses.
If you can ignore the fact that these probably will not smell/taste like what you imagined, these are still cute lip glosses in adorable tins, and they are fun to have on hand.
I LOVE lip glosses. All kinds and scents and colors. I usually have 5 or 6 in my purse at a time. I was excited to find these and ordered 2 flavors. I put them on right when they came in and took it off just as quickly. They were unnecessarily sticky. The color was not strong or impactful and the smell was SO strong it make me sick and I had to rub it all off before it got worse. I have yet to use them again and they are just wasting space in my make-up drawer.
from Austin, TX on 7/1/2008
I love the tin these glosses are in. They are so fun. The gloss doesn't last very long and is kind of sticky, but I still like it.
from the sticks. on 6/30/2008
It doesn't taste or smell anything like cherry, its CHEAP.
from NC on 6/29/2008
I love this thing. It smells and tastes sooo good. i use it as lipgloss under my lucious liquid lipstick it is soo awesome. Will order again.
The smells of these make me a little bit sick..but on the lips, besides the fact that if you put too much on, it makes my lips numb...like, as thought it were a painful plumping gloss...but there's no plump =P!!
I bought cherry bomb and melon...whatever. Neither one smelled good...actually, they both smelled the same. I won't buy them again. The prouduct isn't bad, though, if you don't put a lot on.
Love it, other than being just a little sticky. The color and smell is wonderfull, I love being able to just reach in my purse and put a little on for a pick me up.
I bought the CHERRY BOMB flavor, which is a great product for red lips. The gloss and container smell nothing like cherries. The gloss smells like bubblegum and the container smells like vanilla coffee. It's smooth and the color isn't too red, but I wish it would last a bit longer.
i got cherry bomb and it was a really sweet red color, not a bold, in your face color. plus the tin is super cute! and there is more product than i expected. there didnt seem to be much taste though. i plan on buying all of the colors!
from Minnesota, MN on 6/26/2008
I ordered the cherry bomb and candy fix because they have the best reviews at the time. I was VERY disappointed to say the least.
The look reminds me of the gloss I had growing up, but the product didn't come close. The pot was full of HARD gloss that smelled like coffee. After a minute of running the pad on my finger on it, I was able to get a LITTLE bit on my finger. I put it on, it only covered a tiny area. The taste was ok, but nothing like candy, almost like coffee mixed with gummy bears and a hint of dark mint chocolate. Not a great combo.
The color, I didn't see any change in the color of my lips, just a few tiny tiny sparkles.
from los angeles, CA on 6/23/2008
I bought this for my 3 year old daughter to play with and I never gave it to her... I love this stuff. I smells good, feels good and provides a little color. Normally I am a bold red lips type girl, but when I am off to the market with 2 small children I just put on sunglasses and some of this gloss. Nice!
I am a new user to this product and just wanted to share with other new uses that these colors were not even close to what they appeared in the tin when I received them!
I didnt expect the cherry bomb flavour to be soo red on. Its an ok product, not loving the coffee taste but it good for keeping around the house and car.
This product really surprised me. When i opened it (i got frosting fanatic)it was a golden color. I thought it would look more like the picture and be a nice pinkish coral, but it definitley was not. iT's Straight up gold. Like opaque gold. Well, i don't think it looks very good alone, but if you layer it with clear lipgloss, it would look a bit better. After all, touches of gold are in this summer. As far as the taste and smell goes, it's a little unusual, not really what i expected, but ok. The taste is REALLY sweet, and doesn't really taste like frosting, but hey, my little sister likes it! The smell is alright, once again not exactly frosting but it's not horrible.
An alright product.
btw, i would recommend this to a friend, but in a dif. color, i'd try the melon.
Love the gloss, but hate the smell (of all of them)..
from Highland, CA on 6/11/2008
I was surprised when I got the lip tins because they are much bigger than I expected them to be! The glosses feel great on, but I ordered Frosting Fanatic and Melon Mayhem and they both smell and taste like mocha. The colors do look nice on though... just a little bitty hint of color with shine!
This is a good lip gloss to carry in your purse for quick touch ups on your lips. It smells great (Berry) and feels good on my lips. Lasts longer than I thought it would, good deal for the price.
from Santa Fe, NM on 6/9/2008
This is a great product. It brings me back to my youth, with those little tins of lip balm. I bought two colors, the Cherry Bomb and the Mocha Maniac. They don't really smell/taste any different from each other, kind of mocha-y, and the smell seems pretty chemical to me bordering on the edge of unpleasant. The smell fades quickly though and you're left with lovely shiny smooth lips with just the right amount of color. Cherry Bomb results in shiny lips that look like you just ate a red popcicle. Mocha Maniac has a little shimmer and a neutral color that gave me that "Your Lips but Nicer" look. It's a big container too, especially for the price.
I have used this product about twice a day for the last three days. WOW!!! What a difference! I have horrible chapped lips and sensitive skin. Almost every lipgloss/moisturizer/chapstick I have tried, expensive or cheap, have failed to help me. Sometimes they have even made my lips swell and become raw! But this lipgloss is absolutely AWESOME! So far I have only used the Cherry Bomb ~ it has a tint of color, gloss, and LOTS of moisture! Seems to wear like any gloss would! I like the smell, doesn't strike me as too Cherry! I am a 42 year old STAH mom who doesn't mess with alot of makeup, so this is perfect!

The container is so adorable! The gloss is a pretty soft application and glides on smoothly. It lasts very long on the lips. Also, it isn't sticky or think. It is best to use a lip brush to apply it on!! =)
from San Diego CA on 6/7/2008
The container is cute and the lip gloss inside glides on and isn't sticky. It smells great and the sheer color is nice alone or over darker lipstick.
from Erie, PA on 6/7/2008
Love the colors and the tin it comes in! They do smell and taste like coffee though?? I do like the way they look on the lips though and if you love coffee--you may give this a five star rating! Worth giving a try. I layer a few colors to get even a more variety of lip colors to chose from! I say grab one of each of them and have fun creating those perfect colors for all your moods!

I thought this product was so cute! I ordered 3, candy fix, cherry bomb, and frosting fanatic. The container is soo cute. The color is good, except Cherry Bomb is a little too dark for me. I have medium-light skin. It goes on uneven unless you spread it well. I really like candy fix. Also, if you like sweets, then they taste great, but they all taste more like banana candy then the advertised flavor. For a [$]though, I'd say its a good buy
from Near Harrisburg, PA on 6/3/2008
I like these tins, I ordered the cherry and the mocha. The taste is not too pleasant, but doesn't really bother me all that much. Good product for a great price.

from Cali on 5/31/2008
Is it me or do the glosses all smell the same!? i have melon, candy, and frosting. they all smell the same*like coffee*, but the frosting one is the strongest.. i still love them though : ) my fav. is frosting because of the color & gold shimmer..
I really love it! The tint is fantastic! There isn't much of a taste...though it is slightly sweet. It looks great on lips. I use a lip brush with it and the outcome is so pretty and it feels so nice. I wouldn't recommend using your finger, it gets messy. Love it, love it, love it!!!!
This was nice. The tin is a lot bigger than i expected. The actual gloss is slightly tinted and so far i like the taste of cherry bomb. Overall its a good job...only flaw...its really sticky!
from D.C. on 5/28/2008
Gloss is super shiny and applies easily. I have all flavors. My favorites are Melon Mayhem and Candy Fix--both come in great colors and smell awesome. Berry pop has a weird smell, but the color looks great.
This lipgloss had glitter so for those of that depise glitter I do not recommend this product! I personally hate glitter so I was not too pleased. However, the glitter in the gloss are very tiny but regardless are still visible. It smells like lipglosses that little girls will use. It goes on quite smooth and I would use this if I'm at home or out for a walk. Nothing very fancy but the container is cute and bigger than I thought. The lenth i would say is equivalent to a tictac container.

from Hobart, IN on 5/11/2008
I thought the lip gloss is good, the container's really cute and it smells yummy. I just can't get past the poor quality control of the products, it makes me wonder what else is wrong with it aside from the packaging.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
I love these Lip Tins! I got Melon Mayham, Berry Pop, Cherry Bomb and Mocha Maniac. My favorite is Melon Mayhem! It smells super yummy! It has a little light pinkish-peach color and has the most shimmer. Berry Pop seriously doesn't smell good, but I love the reddish tint on my lips. Cherry Bomb smells like chocolate and the color is a bolder and brighter red than Berry Pop. Mocha Maniac has a stronger chocolate smell (I love chocolate, so I think it smells heavenly.) and is on the beige/brownish/nude family. These lip tins glosses feel great on my lips and has a subtle shine. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't have SPF. Otherwise, they'd be perfect!

from Statesboro, GA on 5/6/2008
I ordered all of these glosses and they all have awesome colors! I recommend Candy Fix if you want a YLBB look and Frosting Fanatic is a gorgeous shimmery gold color. My only complaint is that these glosses do not smell good at all...they smell like chemicals and coffee. I don't mind that much because they are great on my lips...they don't dry them out at all and the colors are amazing!
from Newfoundland,Canada on 5/6/2008
I like the containers there super cute. The gloss is long wearing. All of the ELF glosses are. Most other glosses only stay on for max a half hour these last hours. Honestly. The only thing was the smell wass a little dissapointing its not the kinda lip gloss u would just open to smell. It smells like wine spirts to me but you cant taste anything which is good no taste to the gloss so over all its a good gloss, Cherry bomb has a red color pay out. Melon Mayhem and coconut crazed dont as much but for a gloss what do u expect.

i bought the Melon Mayhem last time, it doesnt smell like melons, it smells kinda like coffee. but i still like it. i luv the sparkly touch. i would definetly by more of this in the future.
[0 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
The tin package makes this great for a pocket or purse. It works just as well as any standard gloss. There is no sparkle in this which is good to me. I'm tired of all lip items coming with shimmer effects now a day. The only issue I have is the residue can feel sticky and the scent/taste has this false plastic feel to it.

from Portland Oregon on 4/11/2008
This tin of lipgloss is HUGE! It is a gorgeous gold color and everyone has been asking me about it. It also smells and tastes delicious! Definetly recommend the frosting flavor!
[0 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
I bought coconut, frosting fanatic, and cherry bomb; they all smell like coffee! the smellgoes away after 1min and they all have shimmer.Its also very smooth not balmy but not as slippery as a gloss. the cherry has got a nice tint to it.frosting has a slight gold shimmer.coconut just has shimmer.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
I bought this in Melon Mayhem and I love it. It's a nice color to wear when you're wearing more dramatic eye makeup because it's a nice, neutral shade. I don't find it it to be overly sticky like a lot of other glosses. I was also really impressed with the size of the tin. I'll definitely be buying more!

from Reno, NV on 4/9/2008
I love these lip gloss tins.I got Coconut Crazed and Cherry Bomb. Both have tiny glitter particles and are very moist, not hard and waxy. They look great applied, though I don't know if the Coconut actually smells/tastes like coconut.I will buy these again, it's a lot for [$], and I think they'll each last at least 6 months.
